Half in the Bag: Furious 7 and It Follows 

Jay Jimenez racist? How? Detroit was mismanaged into bankruptcy and ruin by whites and non-whites. The City council never heard of zero-based bugeting. You have an extremely broad definition of racism.

Jay Jimenez On a scale of 1 to George Bush, you rank at about a Dan Quayle level of stupidity.

Jay Jimenez that was actually pretty homophobic and sexist

+nothosaur I know right XD

+Matt Otter I said this: "Detroit was mismanaged into bankruptcy and ruin by whites and non-whites." Why did I say that? I said that in response to somebody irrationally calling me a racist. He called me a racist because I laughed a joke about how dangerous and dilapidated Detroit has become. I supposed that he thought that because Detroit is about 75% non-white, that I "therefore" was disparaging non-whites. It's a ridiculous conclusion to jump to based on that one comment. My comment was not political -- I was laughing at a good joke about urban decay. What's so controversial about my response anyway? The union leaders, GM CEO, and the wasteful politicians were not only white and not only black. They were both. So, it makes no sense to cry "Racism!" when somebody jokes about Detroit falling apart. It was not a racial issue.

GreenGretel Mike is the hackiest fraud

He knows that, but theoretically speaking if someone managed to run from the thing for a long enough span of time, and all the people previously "cursed" die from other causes before it gets to them, then it presumably wouldn't be able to spread. How many people did the "original" kid have sex with? Probably not many, and considering it was going after him, the chain literally went from her, to him, and then presumably to the girl who gave it to him who herself couldn't have given it to that many people. I can't see the chain being so long that it couldn't be stopped with very few deaths. That having been said, that doesn't matter because this movie is a (nearly literal) nightmare: it operates on nightmare logic, not regular logic. If the movie operated on regular logic then one of the kids obviously would've thought to throw a towel over it and film it, or better yet, just demonstrate its existence doing something like that in front of a large group of witnesses. I believe one of them also brought up the "dreamlike" quality of it, and it's apt. It also explains a lot of the other weird "inconsistencies" to it, such as the near-total absence of any adults, or the indistinct time period. To be clear, I don't think the movie is literally set in a dream, just that it operates under the logic of a nightmare, and that's sort of what makes it work so well.

Do you not realise how confusing that is

@@daftbanna7202 well no, because it isn't. Are you trying to make a joke or are you for real?

@@92brunod I'm saying I understand his confusion.

The Fast -10- The Furious

no one's going, to anything :/

Yeah this comment was stolen from a Facebook post I saw months ago.

@@hans2five, I posted this 6 years ago. Are months longer than years?

@@racewiththefalcons1 yes

i was surprised they missed it too. that's why it's so hopeless. you have to forever be on your toes.

What if they aren't alive anymore either, or the person before them. I'm assuming death from old age on patient zero would probably cause a bit of a paradox. Maybe a CLOVERF...

@@coalblack666 my solution was always to volunteer as tribute, be the end of the line, collect a heavy tax from everybody in line behind me and rent an apartment in Japan and one on the East Coast, US. I do meticulous research prior to map out the average pace of the "creature." Therefore, I should have a close enough estimate to fly between the two cities every 6months-year and keep the creature perpetually in the middle, far away from me. I live comfortably on the dime of the "line" in exchange for dealing with the curse and preventing further deaths. Pretty full proof plan, imo. Of course, i'm sure final destination will kick in and one flight will have to be grounded in some random town that just happens to be where the creature just so happens to be.

@@OccupancyZero If you move away, does it go on a plane and follow you or does it walk beneath the ocean towards you?

@@Greendalewitch itll walk to you.

That sounds like a Justin Roiland quote

As someone who works in a juvenile jail, you are not wrong.

And the Transformers movies were made to run constantly in Guantanamo bay.

I think the fast & furious films were made one after the other as a sort of homage to petrol cars before the inevitable electric cars, the films (unfortunately) will be watched again and again by people harking back to a time where people had freedom and you could double clutch instead of granny shifting😂. As petrol cars will be cracked down upon in the near future, but that’s just my opinion.

@@inevitableveganfuture3915 as someone whps trapped in guantanamo bay ur not wrong

derth4 Whenever I feel angry, I think about Vin Diesel being Batman in The Dark Knight.

Why

@@matthillfromcollege4109 Mostly because of habit.

@@superpaul79 cool

that’s nice

Adam Snee its a amazing score. Sad people didnt talk about it more. We need more awesome unique scores in horror

Seriously i wish they didn’t play it so much in the video, was making me paranoid

I forgot about this comment. Yeah it was a red flag I didn't take seriously enough, not with him anymore xD

CrissCrossGal good call

@@ThatCrissCrossGal I was just about to comment in hopes that I wasn't too late lol. Good for you!

I worked at a Family Video when this movie came out and witnessed a grown man cry and wine when he found out the movie was all rented out. The Fast and Furious chuds are not to be played with. I'm happy you escaped your ex.

Why are you guys still together?

I thought It Came was the prequel to Creating Rem Lezar

Just tuned in to finish watching the episode, then read your comment. I spent a good 5 to 10 seconds trying to work out what AIDs had to do with furious 7.

Let's play more David Cagee games you hackfrauds!

If thats the metaphor I dont think the movies message of "passing it on to get rid of it" is a particularly good one...

Try again

The film definitely draws on those fears of AIDS & STDs to help make the threat of "It" feel more potent, but I don't think that's the film's ultimate thematic concern

Tony Midyett It can't suck, it took 12 years to make.

BOYHOOD IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!

Or it's representing a really bad STD warning message. I wonder if wearing a condom would prevent the transmission of the entity's connection? Ultimately I ended up feeling pretty bad for the girl who was forced to be promiscuous and ruin other peoples lives just to get her's back, or so she thought. I didn't think the end scene was necessary for the boy to show his devotion to her. They could've just showed them walking away holding hands without them getting intimate beforehand.

they also have contracts stating how much can The Rock and Vin Diesel be beaten and beat other people so they're both equally strong. And they can't be in scenes together because they can't stand each other and would fight constantly. But yeah, a 1 minute montage of people smiling truly prove how great the work atmosphere is. Breaking news, Axe deodorant will not get you instantly laid with dozens of hot women.

Ratical but then it would be read as "fate"

I prefer 'Infuri8'

Ratical Just call it 8.

They're going to call it Fast V8

Isaac Shemp That's not bad, but people might get confused and think it's a prequel to "9", that animated movie with the rag dolls. Then again, maybe the next one can lead into it when Vin Diesel causes the apocalypse after trying to make his own Sackboy outta car parts. Oops!

jifyum07 You underestimate the stupidity of people

***** some dude with a generic anime avatar?

***** People hate things so they can be edgy and cool.

***** RU-vid comment sections are full of regressive and immature people.

***** This comment proves how regressive you are. My only comment was that you have a generic anime character as your avatar. Does that mean I hate anime? No.

Are you THE Andy Bauman from Night of the Kickfighters?

He’s good

Rutger the Rock is not a good actor

Andrew Hart He get’s the job done with the roles he was casted for, and he does it better then anybody else would. Just like Arnold back in the days

He was good in Walking Tall

He's an OK actor in the right roles.

If you fuck an astronaut, he's fucking screwed. 1. Goes up into space. 2. It waits until NASA sends up supplies, then it hides in supplies. 3. CAN'T RUN IN SPACE STATION. 4. The End. Later on, it opens a window, falls back down to Earth, starts walking towards the next person in the smash hit sequel: IT FALLS

No it isn't. The character failing to come up with a clever solution isn't a plot hole. I'm sure there are plot holes in the film, but that isn't one of them. Besides, assuming It walks at 3mph, the average human walking speed (faster if it can become giant Tony Hawk whenever it wants), it would only take It ~37 days to cross the entire US East - West at the widest point. (~72 miles per day / 2680 miles). Not fast, granted, but you could never settle down anywhere for long. Even Barrow to Key West is 60 days.

It's a flaw, absolutely. It is, however, objectively *not* a plot hole. Their failure to come up with that plan in no way violates the internal logic of the movie, which is the definition of a plot hole

lessofyou What if you fuck Ellen Ripley and then she goes into space and it's like the movie Alien all over again and all the crew members die because they all fuck, but Ellen is the last one. Could she defeat it by shooting it out into space like she always does?

Guto Neto to be fair it looked like it walked about 3.5 miles an hour. so since it doesn't sleep and just always is moving towards you it would walk 84 miles a day. to put that into perspective, Texas is the 2nd largest state in the US. it is 790 miles across at it's longest distance east to west. that means it could walk across Texas in about 9 1/2 days. NYC to LA is 2972 miles it could cover that distance in a month.

because its not star trek

Also lots of people enjoy watching sci fi b-movies; you don't have to be a 40 year old cynic/amateur film critic to enjoy shlock

IrishBullocks9377 It makes no sense in the context of the movie. They watch old 50's b-movies on a tiny CRT TV, while another girl is texting on a cell phone. It's definitely not realistic.

SerenGetter do movies have to have absolute realism? i liked the indeterminate time period aspect. you can't talk about absolute realism in a movie where an invisible walking STD breaks your legs to death.

SerenGetter also, theres some classism to your comment. plenty of people still have 'tiny CRT TVs', especially in a poor part of the Midwest like Detroit. And yeah, liking sci-fi doesn't have an age limit, I thought.

I think they meant, what if the person is already dead. Like if theory all give up then the entity will go kill till the end and then what.

You know this is really poignant thematically... You can't ever truly get rid of it without sacrificing an entire line of people. Which is never going to happen. And so your only real choice is to continue having sex and passing it on. Chastity is not an option, because then you're consigning yourself to your fate. Just like HIV/HPV/other STIs. The only way to truly live on is to produce offspring, and hope that the sons learn from the sins of the father and each generation becomes more successful. But inevitably history repeats itself.

Yes, and that explains why the guy who gives it to the main character goes to the trouble of educating her about it (after they've had sex). But one would think that the survivors would all b helping each other out such that an army of people would develop over time, all helping each other out--basically all cooperating to keep the most recent survivor moving. At the very least, a team of survivors sharing a couple of RVs always in motion and sleeping in shifts.

What if.. you fuck a corpse?

Richard Patrick You love these hack frauds?

bbman R Patrick is not a real person, surely it's Mike or Jay trying to beef up the comments section. AS IF THEY DON'T COMMENT ENOUGH ALREADY!

Who loves them

That doesn't sound like the "K I N D" of story he would write.

It's t9 for F9

Being in love won't stop it. It'll kill you, then your partner then go back down the chain again.

Joshua Barnett I believe that's the case, I've noticed certain channels that post TV shows have started using huge boarders, presumably similar to flipping or mirroring a video to avoid the copyright tracking algorithm.

Tony Midyett The problem is RU-vid uses an automatic system rather than people to check so a lot of times people who are using things legally still get dinged and have to go through a process to get their video re-posted, the border is so they don't have to waste that time.

Joshua Barnett Content ID matches.

+Charlie Yonts Yeah I don't see how they could have watched the movie and not have understood that part...

Hayley Longster That's what i was thinking. It also seems that would tie in to the themes of lost innocence the hack frauds were talking about, too.

Hayley Longster I thought it was trying to convey white flight.

DarkMonarch If it was about white flight then wouldn't the demon/monster take on the form of black people?

Hayley Longster well actually there are 2 interpretations. The Director actually wanted it to be more about sexual trauma or abuse but he is aware of seeing it this way, hence 2 interpretations. Spoilers if you dont really want to know anything about what happens in the movie avoid my comment below: The monster takes shapes of anyone but mostly the people the victim knows, within the movie a character(side character) is raped to death by the monster taking the form of his mother. The main character see's the form as her friends, sister, and the little boy who peeks in on her often when she is indisposed. The last form is of her father, it is quietly mentioned using pictures through out the movie along with the hint at the end with another character asking "what does the creature look like?" and she replies "I cant tell you" because its of her father. Fun facts.

his thread is now awesome, thanks for your replies! Haven't seen the movie yet but as soon as I do I will make sure I read this back! ;P

😂😂

Uhh, almost perfect. I have a couple issues with the score in that movie, though for the most part Moriconi nailed it.

@@uriahl2331 I haven't seen the Thing and don't know how involved John Carpenter was with the score, but I've never seen a John Carpenter movie they didn't have a distractingly weird score. The man likes his synths.

FilmGeek Studios the things score is super basic carpenter score but it works perfectly through the entire film
