We should waste another half hour on the gold teeth fat guy.

Bro, we need you to live-stream some movie reaction videos!![]()
I’m sure he still likes all the money he’s made for 40 years though.“I saw John Wick 4 on the plane. Talk about volume. I think the film is disgusting beyond belief,” Stone said in a new interview with Variety. “Disgusting. I don’t know what people are thinking.
“Maybe I was watching G.I. Joe when I was a kid. But [Keanu Reeves] kills, what, three, four hundred people in the f****** movie. And as a combat veteran, I gotta tell you, not one of them is believable. I realize it’s a movie, but it’s become a video game more than a movie.”
John Wick actually kills 151 people in the fourth installment of the popular film franchise – a new record!
“It’s lost touch with reality,” Stone continued. “The audience perhaps likes the video game. But I get bored by it. How many cars can crash? How many stunts can you do? What’s the difference between Fast and Furious and some other film? It’s just one thing after another. Whether it’s a super-human Marvel character or just a human being like John Wick, it doesn’t make any difference. It’s not believable.”
Then again, as Stone also said in the same interview, “People in showbiz are idiots.”

While I disagree with Stone, this comment strikes me as pretty odd. The Wick movies are a celebration of action, violence without much pathos to them. And I love them. But Killers wasn’t that. It was a scathing satire, that actually lambasted America’s obsessive overindulgence, addiction and celebration of violence. Especially through the eyes of the media.Says the guy who directed Natural Born Killers...
I thought he was kind of gratuitous violence. Maybe I misinterpreted.While I disagree with Stone, this comment strikes me as pretty odd. Killers was a scathing satire, lambasting America’s obsessive overindulgence, addiction and celebration of violence. Especially through the eyes of the media.
I’d think it’s worth watching again with fresh eyes. That movie is gushing with violence that speaks to America’s bloodlust, the industrial prison complex and first and foremost, media manipulation and pushing celebrity/celebrating violence… all bookended by a sweet Polar Bear commercial selling Coca-Cola.I thought he was kind of gratuitous violence.

Interesting perspective. I'll have to do that.I’d suggest watching it again with fresh eyes. That movie is gushing with violence that speaks to America’s bloodlust, the industrial prison complex and first and foremost, media manipulation and pushing and celebrating violence… all bookended by a sweet Polar Bear commercial selling Coca-Cola.
The movie was wayyyyy ahead of its time, IMO. But has only become more relevant as crazy and murder have become so celebrated/covered as media has continued to evolve/explode.
This might be the only comment that gets me to see this movie, because no. Just no.This movie was awesome. It supplanted the original as the best in the series so far. Kinda wish
Donnie Yen wasn't blind. He was one of my favorite martial artists of all time, and while getting up there in age, some was left on the table.
4,1,2,3 in that order.
