Probably the best thing to happen to cinematography in the last 20 years. Maybe now I'm not going to get a regurgitated version of a classic, a lesson in modern political correctness, a diversified historical remake or another fast and furious chapter, perhaps this time on the moon... You know what, let me have that last one, that doesn't sound that bad.

From what I have read, I think the fast and furious has one movie left after this year's film until they end the series.

So, uh, with the writers on strike, who's going to write these new stories?

Do you honestly think the writers are the ones driving the garbage that gets released?

This stuff was caused by the 2008 writer's strike, so last 15 years.
