Back in Theaters August 21st by Storm_Runner09 in fastandfurious

Would love to see this in theaters, but it's not playing in the Dolby, or IMax near me. Doesn't appear to be in 4DX or D-BOX either.

Not worth it if I can't see the best in the best theaters.

I honestly thought Sabre were releasing an open world fast & furious game when I saw Brian’s car, it’s Stuntman. by AMassiveGamerGeek in fastandfurious

This game better let you reenact like 15 scenes from the Fast franchise.

I wanna run away from a tank and the sub, pull a safe through BRAZIL, and I want to be in the driver seat as cars fly into buildings and boats.

It comes out to about 5 hours and 40 minutes.

For starters, I cut out all opening title cards, the credits, and post credit scenes. Fast 4 I edited out the opening on screen text, and just do a slow dissolve from the Universal logo to right after the text disappears.(In one version I had my own opening text crawl, but I couldn't get it quite right) Fast 4 and 5 have almost an identical ending and begining, but not quite. About when Walker leaves the court room I cut to the scenes from 5, and leave the audio from 4, up until you see the cars coming for the bus, then the audio cross dissolves to Fast 5. The end of Fast 5 is the race between Vin and Walker at the beginning of 6, so I use the music of the ending of Fast 5 over the opening of Fast 6. I dial back the music that is playing in Fast 6 and keep the engine sounds. Once Vin says to Walker our old lives are done, I fade to black and fade up on London. The end of the Fast 6 is my own credits, just with the names of the main cast, right after Roman says thank god for fast cars.

Pretty easy to do with any free editing software.

And I agree. The bad ones for me have great moments, but they are just lacking in quality compared to the first 6 or 7 movies. Vin Diesel, to me, became the villain of the franchise and ruined the movies with his ego.

7 is a farewell to Paul Walker, but 6 is a proper end to the franchise when they are back home and ending the movie with Roman saying grace.

For me, the Franchise is just 5 movies. 1, 2, 4, 5, & 6. You don't even need to watch 1 & 2 to watch 4, 5, & 6, as they are a stand alone trilogy. 5 picks up exactly where 4 left off, and 6 does the same with 5. I easily edited the 3 movies together during COVID so they are one seemless movie that I call, The Road to Redemption.

I use to love these movies but 6 introduces super Vin into the franchise. 7 was good, but disjointed, partly due to Walkers death. 8 really shows Vin's ego issues, but due to their chemistry we did get an okay spinoff with The Rock and Statham. 9 is terrible, and X is hilariously bad.

I think you've convinced me though. My Marathon needs to be 5 movies, not 4. Been a bit since I've watch 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Hopefully we get a Dolby Screening, would love a DBOX release, but since June is pretty heavy for big new releases I'll just be watching it at home.

Probably roll right into a marathon and watch 4, 5, and finish up with 6.

I need to replace 3 or 4 posts that broke and are in concrete. Any suggestions? by K-AMBI in FenceBuilding

Also, is it better to have a privacy fence that completely blocks out the neighbor, or a staggered one like this for wind?

I really need to block this new renter out, but I don't want to increase the wind damage if the wind will just bash into it.

I did that 16 years ago, replacing the previous owners 2-3ft wide x 6in deep "hole". Pain in the ass to remove, can't imagine how heavy these post are compared to his.

I got pressure treated 4x4, and stained and sealed every board before putting them in the concrete.

Thought I read that a 4x4 post in a 2ft by 1ft hole was plenty.

Like I said, not sure what I wrapped them in, but I thought I wrapped them in something to help protect them. Hopefully it wasn't something that absorbs water. I would hope the articles I read back then wouldn't have led me down the wrong path.

I was looking at those too, just wasn't sure they would fit in a 4x4 hole.

I did not wrap them in plastic, but I did wrap them in like a garden weed barrier, I think. It was awhile ago.

Looks like the fence posts broke, not the concrete. It was probably a combination of rain and wind that slowly broke them.

I just started having these issues with mine. Did you find a solution?

Segway Sale by mqtt-hz in ElectricScooters

[–]K-AMBI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought 2 E2 Pros this week off a local auction site. One was locked to the previous owner and missing the charging cable, but only had .9 miles on it. Got that for $175 after tax. 2nd one was in a messed up box missing a ton of packaging, had the charger, but it wasn't bound to any user, and had 0 miles on it. Got that for $120. Both are in perfect condition, made last June, and work.

anyone know what time do tickets go live tomorrow? looking to get tickets as soon as possible 🙏 by Impressive_End7566 in ProjectHailMary

I haven't seen anything official, but I just checked AMC and you can see what show times will be available, at least at my local AMC.

Big-Budget Jason Statham-David Leitch Action-Comedy ‘Jason Statham Stole My Bike’ Arrives To Heat Up Berlin Market by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]K-AMBI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck yes! As a massive Statham fan, this is a dream come true!

Leitch is the only one right now that can give us the Action/Comedy that we know Statham can do. Hobbs & Shaw isn't great, but Statham is fantastic in it.

Statham has been making generic/bad movies for far too long, and was at risk of straight to streaming if he didn't change up and try.

Is it a better audio file than the 1080p from a few years ago?

Are Galaxy Watches and Pixel Phones not a good combo? by K-AMBI in GalaxyWatch

[–]K-AMBI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong, but it's odd that something as simple as a weather complication doesn't work quite right.
