Fast Five is Furiously Funny and Fabulous

Well, I went to see Fast Five with be_merry and her little sister and it was--how do I put this?

Any movie where I have to legitimately turn to the person next to me and ask in all seriousness, "Did that man just spit glass?" is a winner ( Read more... )

I saw Fast Five on Friday with Cammy and Lauren and on the way home Cammy and I kept yelling at Lauren to GO FAST GO FAST! But she didn't sadly cause she was still working through defensive driving. Sadface. I then went to sleep and dreamed about racing cars.

I want to live in this movie and drive fast cars and defy that bastard physics. I bite my thumb at you sir, indeed.

As for the homoeroticism... the scene where The Rock and Vin Diesel are super close, and you can feel the tension build between them? Yeah I was torn between wanting them to just kiss and wanting very badly to be in the middle of that muscle sandwich. *droolz*

I'm sad to say... this is the first of this series that I've seen *ducks*. BUT Totally going to have to watch the rest over the summer. Why oh why did I deny myself this simple joy???

Also this summer: going to finally read Lovecraft.

Oh, forgot to mention: I thought the preggers plotline and the romance that there was was ok. I felt it was enough in the background to be a neat little add in but not big enough to really overshadow the reckless destruction.

When you go from two movies (by which I mean The Fast and the Furious and Fast & Furious) that make absolutely NO sense unless you view them through slash goggles to "OMG, WE'RE STRAIGHT! except, you know, not" the pregnancy storyline is a little gag-inducing. Well, it's gag-inducing no matter what but I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

But, you know, to each their own. If you like it, good for you though. :)

Ok as far as slash goes, there was an intense rock vs. vin diesel moment and i was like "ok, they're going to kiss right? crazy masculine aggressive makeout session? yes? yes? oh.. no? Not even a... well alright then."

I really wanted them to get down and dirty.

I was totally ready for some make-out moments during that fight scene but...um, Brian's legs wrapped around Dom's waist (as in my icon) make a pretty convincing argument for slashiness. <3

I haven't checked for fic from the new movie yet but if there's anything this fandom excels at it's "down and dirty" fanfic and MAN is it amazing. *happy sigh*

I AM STILL NOT OVER HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MOVIE.

As for the skanks line- apparently this is a well-loved thing or something? In Los Bandoleros (the short that shows how they got to the beginning of Fast & Furious) Letty has a similar line; something like, she always knows how to find Dom because all she needs to do is follow the stench of skanks. I was so sad to discover that Vin Diesel himself wrote that line. Why, Vin, WHY?

Also, random Mossad chick? Was the chick from F&F that worked for Campos. I didn't recognize her until I saw an interview with her on my F&F dvd. Oops.

Also, clearly this icon was made to discuss TFATF. Clearly. (Though, upon a second watching of Fast Five, I'm still going "NEEDS MORE GAY." so idk.)

No, Vin, noooo!

Also, yeah. ajfdsklajf I made Sean watch the fourth one the other day and went, "Oh, holy shit, wait, that's--Huh. Guess she wasn't random."

Though I love how they suddenly made her a badass when she, uh, did nothing in the fourth one. I mean, she was pretty much his secretary....wtf.

AND FORGOT HOW MUCH GAY CHRISTMAS THERE IS IN THAT MOVIE. SERIOUSLY. TINSEL AND RAINBOW ORNAMENTS AND GAAAH SO AMAZING SRSLY.

LEGS. AROUND HIS FACE. HE WON'T LEAVE HIM. HE'S HURT. STILL PUT COOKIES OUT FOR SANTA. ♥♥♥

I KNOW. I'm deeply saddened by this. Vin, I thought you had more class than "skank" lines.

lsdjfklsdjf I KNOW. Where was her Mossad training when she was working for Campos? Then again, maybe I'm glad she didn't have it because then Dom and Brian wouldn't have gotten back together. lol

GAY CHRISTMAS. It's my favorite time of the year. <3333 We need to actually celebrate this one year.

The "cookies for Santa" line is definitely one of my favorites. <33
