One of these days Im gonna make hamburger and canned tuna. Call it budget surf and turf...
Whoa whoa whoa. Why would you ruin good burger!

Now once upon a time I dreamed of a food truck with burgers. One of my burgers was gonna be a dirty Mexican. It was 50/50 ground beef and chorizo. Grilled pablano with caso cheese.

That sounds good

Gonna be doing this ourselves here shortly. We've moved so many times until we bought our house, we have tons of stuff in boxes still. 98% of it is going to go bye-bye.
We need to do that too. We bought this house and moved here in 2010. I know for a fact there are still boxes in the attic that are still sealed with moving tape. Haha.

5 is possibly one of the best modern action movies on the planet. But there was certainly a shift from car movie to action movie.

I unapologetically love these movies.
Same. They have gotten worse and IDGAF.

Jump a super car from building to building, in Abu Dhabi? cool.
Parachute cars onto the road? Coo.
Super emotional send off for Paul Walker? Way cool.
Add Jason Statham in like he didnt kill Han? Sketchy, but okay.
Then unkill Han? I'll allow it.

I like them and will never apologize.

I stopped after the first one. "Car movie" is straining it. It's a movie full of bad info about cars with mediocre acting.

No thanks.

I might actually like the later ones where they gave up trying to be a car movie, but I'm not willing to give the franchise another hour of my life to find out.

Bad info and such yes but it was cars and car culture to a degree so "Car movie" not American Graffiti or Hollywood Knights not 2 Lane Black Top or Vanishing Point but enjoyable if you don't pay attention to the details to much

I used to be able to just watch shiat and enjoy it but after an episode of stranger things where they had 2 different late 70's Camaros and it caught my eye because in one scene the car had crank windows on the door and the next it had electric windows (which were in the center console on those years) it now gets under my skin when I catch those errors.

I totally get this being a mechanic and lets face it you'd think Hollywood would hire someone to keep on this kind of stuff but from the "10 second" Supra racing neck and neck with the "9 second" Charger (a full second faster isn't anywhere near a neck and neck race. ) to all the medical crap that drives my wife who is a nurse nuts they just go ahh they won't notice. I just have to tune it out.

The fourth one was the first foray into making them heist movies. And it's pretty good. But they perfected the formula in 5.

Its worth the effort to at least do 4,5,&6 and treat them as a standalone trilogy.
