Hey LV, what are your thoughts on the Riddick movies? I think we've spoken about this but I can't remember

I’m not a fan. I think it’s a good concept, but they’re really poorly written and directed. It’s a shame.

Hey LV, am I one of the 2 or 3?

Oh hell no, how could I dislike anyone with that avatar?

Oh good. We just have such opposite tastes overall, and when you told me to have some self-respect for being excited about the next Arctic Monkeys release so quickly on the heels of your gd thread, I thought it might be me. I'd survive, of course, but I generally enjoy your posts, so I'd have been a little bummed.

Hey LV. Are you excited for the last Jedi? And if you love it will you be honest about it on RM?

No.

Oh, of course I will. And I honestly hope I do love it. But there's like a 90% chance I won't even see it until the 4K Blu-ray comes out.

You like Rian Johnson?

I like Brick and The Brothers Bloom. Not so much Looper.

Breaking Bad?

Have you heard anything new regarding Empires of the Deep?

True story, if that ever comes out in the theaters, I'm coming to Colorado

I feel like it seems to perpetually be in this status, but apparently it’s still in post-production and there are plans to release it in China “soon.”

And oh my god yes, it will be the greatest event in RM history

LV, can you think of a single movie that influenced messenger bike culture more than Quicksilver? Also, what do you think of Quicksilver?

WTF

It was, sadly, a serious question.

Unfortunately I do not know anything about bike messenger culture and I have never seen Quicksilver.

It's typically acknowledged (tongue-in-cheek no doubt) in cycling circles as THE movie that put messenger AKA fixie bike culture on the map. I personally am not a fixie rider and think the whole culture is kind of stupid, but it's a lot of fun watching that otherwise awful movie through that lens. It's the Breakin' of bike movies. I think I read in this thread that you're a Kevin Bacon fan which is why I thought maybe you'd seen it. It's got a solid 14% critic and 38% audience score on RT.

Riches-to-rags story about a trust fund hotshot who loses it all and falls in with the messengers to start earning a living.

remove bikes, insert barn dances.... Hey guys...I just wrote Footloose!

Kevin bacon is a national treasure
