TurboTax.

Whatever. I love working 14 hour days and filing my taxes and being perpetually tired. That shit is a blast.

Honestly, the Rush Hours movies sucked. Like, as far as movies go, they kinda suck. But like you said, the chemistry between the two leads is what makes them so enjoyable. The third movie was about as bad as I expected. Just more rehashed shit, but it was just as enjoyable as the first two because nobody is watching it for original jokes, great action, creative storytelling, or witty dialogue. Just funny one-liners and hilarious kung fu improv from two very, very funny people. They work because the directors found a very special combination of people. Like you said, with anyone else, those movies would've bombed. Even the first probably.

And I can't help but think of the new Zombieland series. Same characters, different actors, mediocre TV writers. It outta be great.

Having watched this finally, I still have no idea what the fuck you're talking about in your post, Stinky. I mean, I can maybe think of 2 things that were like plot twists if that's what you mean by spoilers, but that's all I can decipher from your post.

Overall, I liked it. Parts of it weren't anything original at all, but other parts of it were very creative. Tom Cruise is an amazing lead as always, Morgan Freeman has a small (but major) role and does a wonderful job, and I thought the plot was amazing. It's pretty simple and linear early on (with a few badass action scenes), but by the time all the twists straighten out, I thought it was ultimately a very creative explanation behind the plot.

Worth seeing, especially since it's semi-original scifi, but unless you're an avid movie goer or have nothing better to see, I might wait for it on DVD. You won't regret the ticket price, but it's not a must-see.

Also yes.

The reason the Harry Potter movies worked is because it wasn't a single movie that had successive sequels. It was an established book series where each movie had original source material to work with. So it really doesn't count. Kind of like Lord of the Rings.

I wish I could watch videos out here. I wanna see this.

Well, like you said, the original tends to have more effort put into it, and possibly more care taken with said effort because it doesn't have an established name to sell it. Plus, I feel like most of the good/original ideas are used in the original, so sequels tend to be just more of the same, rehashes of other ideas, or just plain shit altogether.

That's actually really awesome.

Well, I do love Top Gear.

Who is M83?

I love both Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. Naturally, I'm pretty excited for this.

I liked the first one because of the novelty. Seeing a bunch of comedy actors that are friends and often work together was a good idea. Even mediocre movies usually succeed in that light because of that fact. But a sequel? Granted, I can't watch the trailer so I really have nothing to base an opinion on but my own speculation. It just doesn't need one.
