The Fast franchise legit lost me once we got cars in space. The problem is probably me: I'm trying to apply logical to the illogical. It's become a parody of itself.

Regarding the sacred three: F5 > F7 > F6 imo. F5 is gonzo enough to make you go WTF did they just do? But still plausibly believable if you squint. It's perfection basically.

I lived with a cyst on my right side for like 15 years. It would be dormant for years and then randomly get all inflamed for no freaking reason. Ballooned out a few years ago and finally went to the doc. They drained it and then removed it (at my request). There was a lot of squeezing and it was hella uncomfortable, but as Scotty P taught us: no ragrets. Although, it would've been much easier to remove when it was the size of a dime, so maybe some ragret.

you're not alone in that!!! i can't help but hold some fondness for all their insanity but i really do get it. fast five is probably one of two "actual good movies" in the entire series, and i love that it happens to have a scene where dom and brian drag an enormous vault through the streets of rio. just great kooky stuff!!!

omg i'm so glad your cyst is gone now... i have a removal scheduled for next week (finally!) and it actually makes me feel so much better to hear other people's non horror stories!!! i appreciate you!!!

Sorry about your cyst but why no love for Cipher? Her fight with Letty was the best thing since the Ronda Rousey fast 7 fight!

I know I set the bar real high for you but this may be one of my favorite posts yet! More using BM as your public journal so I can laugh at the hijinx you’ve gotten up to

Starting with the very first!! Remains to be seen if I'll make my way through all of 'em, but figured it was high time to AT LEAST dip a toe in the water
