I love the F&F movies too. Cars and Jordan Brewster and Eva Mendes...and now it has The Rock too.

Has anyone seen Looper? The trailer looked good and I really wanna see it!

Giantsfan1080 · 10-10-2012, 01:35 PM

Well this place really sucks balls at times like this.

MetSox17 · 10-10-2012, 01:35 PM

Jordana Brewster was in my top five of hot celebs in one of those ******** tournament things we did in the OT where ugly girls like the ones on njx's sig end up winning.

Come at me bro.

No on both accounts. Taken 1 was awesome and the Broncos need to win so I can't start building a lead in the pickem.

I only saw about half of it, but what I saw was really cool, hopefully there's a good version online so I don't have to pay to see it again.

Yea but who didn't see this coming though? Taken 1 had a storyline that was at least random, a rare type of thing happening so it's much more enjoyable. What kidnapping movie, can make a sequel of the same person getting kidnapped and not be super cheesy? Reminds me of when '24' was on and Jack's daughter got kidnapped a different way every season and it got lamer every time but it was worth it to see Jack use a pistol, jam a security sensor, and go rougue.

As soon as I first saw the previews for Taken 2 I knew it would be cheesy. They even took a bunch of the lines from the 1st one I enjoyed, and made him repeat them in this one which immediately lost all it's luster.

You know there is a week 6 discussion thread somewhere. No need to fill up the movie thread with football talk.

No I definitely anticipated that the plot would be cheesy, and I thought the whole idea of a sequel was a mistake. However, even though I had very low expectations, it was worse than I thought. The action wasn't that good, and they really blew the ending. Combine that with how utterly implausible the whole situation was, and how poorly they developed how they got into the whole situation altogether, there was nothing to enjoy beyond how unintentionally bad it was.

That's because Captain American blows. Nobody really likes him; they just pretend to like him, out of some sense of patriotic duty.

we've got some really cool matchups this week. Eagles vs Lions could be a fun one. Wonder if Stafford can get back on track. Primtime games are "meh". Houston vs Packers should be entertaining

jrdrylie · 10-10-2012, 01:50 PM

I can't wait to see Taken 2. I'm going to see it on a nice date night with my wife. Going to the Melting Pot for dinner than seeing Taken 2. I don't care how ridiculous the plot, writing, or acting is, if it's a movie with Liam Neeson kicking ass, I'll love it. I hope they make Taken 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7.

I could see a desperate Packers team coming out and beating the Texans. Unlikely but I think theres a chance.

Now quit derailing our train of thought here.

I'm with jr. I want to see as many Taken movies as possible. I just hope they start stealing a bunch of **** from him and he has a dying need to get it all back. Every time.

There are so many options. Like his daughter starts datting some guy in a gang. And then the gang kidnaps her so Neeson has to get her back. Bang! Taken 3. Then for Taken 4, his daughter is getting a divorce. Her ex-husband doesn't want to give up custody of their kid so he kidnaps him. Leeson goes ape **** to get back his grandson. Ridiculous, who care? I'm watching those films.

MetSox17 · 10-10-2012, 01:59 PM

I think we're getting killed by the Ravens. Oh well.

Raiderz4Life · 10-10-2012, 02:01 PM

**** yea those would be awesome

Maybe it's cause I'm foreign but I really like Cap. A juiced up brute, wrapped in the american flag, punching evil foreigners in the face...it's so perfectly american. It's why I miss the W presidency, he was the perfect face for this country.

Come on jr i enjoy a good kickass movie as much as the next guy but can we at least keep it real in here. Where's the Blaine Gabbert bashers when we need them.
