Go To Sleep My Brothers, I'm Alright To Drive

In the wake of the homoerotic promo art first image from Fast Five, all of a sudden we now have the trailer. And… wow. It is indeed fasterer and furiousitier than it’s predecessors.

It also looks completely shitballs retarded.

Not necessarily in a bad way.

The first four (fuck, four?) Fast and the Furious movies are all unequivocally, unquestionably, undoubtedly absolutely idiotic clusterfucks. They feature some absolutely hideous acting, asinine writing, and dialogue so bad it makes you want to stab someone.

I watch them every time one of them comes on cable. I can’t help it. I’m the dumbass moth to their idiot flame.

This one looks like more of the same, only with more gay subtext and Dwayne Johnson. It features every actor from the previous movies that isn’t dead, except for Lucas Black (although Sung Kang from that film will be there) because apparently Black has standards or some shit. And here’s the thing — going back and looking at all of the actors from the past four (fuck, four? Seriously?) movies, I’m struck by just how absolutely, genuinely shitty those actors are. I mean, they built a multi-million dollar, legion-of-devoted-fans, massively popular, swinging cock franchise using some of the worst actors in Hollywood. Vin Diesel (yeah, I know he can be good, but he sure as fucking pigballs isn’t good in these). Paul Walker. Tyrese Gibson (who is black and tough, if you weren’t sure by the aggravatingly stereotypical lines he’s given in every movie he’s in). Jordana Brewster (don’t. DON’T try to use her role in “Chuck” to justify her existence. She sucks). Ludacris (Seriously, Word of Mouf is a great album, but Luda… not so much with the acting skills).

It is a collection of non-talent big enough to rip a whole in the universe.

Now they’re adding The Rock and… um… Elsa Pataky, who is good at wearing a bikini. A valuable skill, to be sure, but hardly something that should get her into movies.

Anyway, here’s the trailer. It’s not really a trailer as much as it is an exhibit of the fine art of ‘asplodeyism. There’s cars, and they drive fast, and guns, and The Rock being tough while he secretly longs for Diesel’s warm embrace.

And I will likely watch it no less than ten times, and hate myself a little every time.

I know man, I can't wait to see it, alone in my room with the curtains closed, feeling bad for my own IQ.

I'm proud to say that I've only seen the first one. I've unfortunately seen it about a hundred times since my roommate at the time it came out would play it on an endless loop.

The Diesel showcasing his one move in the header pic. I swear that dude came out of the womb with outstretched arms.

Vin: Look at that lip. I'm gonna get it!

The Rock: What? No.

Vin: I’m gonna bite it.

The Rock: No.

Vin: How about a nibble?

The Rock: I will punch you.

Vin: Make it hurt so good.

The Rock: Stop.

Vin: You can do whatever you want to me.

The Rock: You do not want that to happen.

Vin: Does Rockums want to tussle? I’m gonna get that lip! Gonna bite it!

The Rock: No means no dude.

Vin: How about a cage match of love?

The Rock: Seriously dude. I am trying to build a career here.

Vin: Why so threatened by my sex, man? It’s all just a continuum dude.

The Rock: I’m going to continuum you in a second.

Vin: Do it!

The Rock: Someone bring me a folding chair!

And so Pajiba comments slowly morphs into an insidiously seductive repository of slashfic.

Thanks for the mental imagery, Mrs. J. I needed a little mid-week pick-me-up.

The reason Lucas Black isn't in this one is because it is set before Tokyo Drift. That is why **spoiler alert** Sung Kang's character Han is in it even though he died in Tokyo Drift. Black will probably be in 2 Six 2 Furious because thats will probasbly be when Vin Diesel travels to Japan seeking his help. Anyway, yay for mindless action!

There's something deliciously meta about Vin Diesel saying to Paul Walker, "We do one last job, then we disappear...forever."

OTOH, he also says, "If you're gonna survive, stop thinking like a cop." Now, far be it for me to quibble with what I'm sure is a cadre of well-respected script writers, but going with "gonna" as opposed to "wanna" in said line changes the meaning from "survival depends on your not thinking like a cop" to "if you insist on surviving, please refrain from further cop-think", does it not?

Jesus, this is huge. I need to act fast. Next plane, Hollywood!

well i know what I will be doing febuary 2012 on the first blizzard or rainy sunday (NETFLIX) baby!

I figure this will be on dvd by fall but I devote my sundays to football so that pushes this to after football season 2011.

Unless of course there is a lock out then woohoo this gets pushed up to fall 2011

Between this and the "Transporter" franchise, has everything cool that can be done with a car in a movie now been done?

"Tyrese Gibson (who is black and tough, if you weren’t sure by the aggravatingly stereotypical lines he’s given in every movie he’s in)."

You mean if "Tyrese" wasn't enough of a giveaway?

Experience it in IMAX!

Also, step off Lucas American-Gothic Black. Slingblade, Cold Mountain, Get Low. You know you loved Get Low.

Jordana Brewster was pretty decent in D.E.B.S. - although Devon Aoki definitely stole any scene she was in.

For those who have yet to see it, imagine a lower budget Charlie's Angels but with added lesbianism.

My most recent ex (yes, he's part of a long list, don't be judge-y) loved these f*cking movies to the point where he refused to be distracted by boobs and ass (and yes, I did try my hardest) whenever they came on. I hated the FF shit-movies with a passion and COULD. NOT. STAND. having to sit through them. It got so bad that I had to steal and hide (i.e. throw away) the dvds. His solution: to re-purchase the got-dang movies no matter how many times he "lost" them.

Thus ends the story of why he is now my ex.

returnofthesmith wins for "2 Six 2 Furious."

And much love for the Gaslight Anthem shout out in the title!

I love these movies and feel no shame for them. Except the second one. That was stupid beyond stupid.

I will see this. In theaters. Probably opening night. With a flask full of whiskey.

I’m gonna get that lip! Gonna bite it!

HA! Mrs. Julien, you are delightful.

Posted by: marya at December 15, 2010 4:39 PM

Bloated, ridiculous, and unoriginal.

Tooootally gonna watch this and enjoy the shit out of it.

Posted by: Parker at December 15, 2010 7:58 PM

The amount of man-pretty just exceeds the amount of stupid, so I guess I'm there.

I would like to think I am a good judge of movies and this series definitely falls in that category.... Not oscar worth, but thats not what they're going for.... Bad asses in badass action movie! Thats what I want when I see these, in addition to looking at some sweet rides, and that's exactly what I get. This author clearly just isn't a fan of these movies and needs to go watch Singing in the Rain or Double Indemnity if they want to see a classical "good movie" with "good acting." These guys are good actors for the kinds of films they make and could probably do something different if they wanted, but they like to provide badass just like I like to watch it..because I too...... am a badass!!!

Mrs. Julien is making Andy Samberg quiver in his loins...
