    What we learned tonight at @deephelldotcom.bsky.social about the Need For Speed movie is that it: - is incredibly misogynist - was $66 million to make - has about as good of a grasp of the Need For Speed game series as any one of us who viewed it tonight

    Tonight for our movie monday, we watched Need for Speed! This is a movie of very very many silly faces. Everyone is constantly making weird faces. A movie of weird faces that really, really desperately wants to be Smokey and the Bandit and its just not nearly as cool unfortunately.

    3. The Need For Speed (2014) is a god awful, "did it because we could play around with some super cars" movie with unrealistic tech and cliched pacing, but okay yeah, they made the Koenigsegg Agera the final hero car, that's a solid choice even with the McLaren and Veyron as the rival cars.

    Controversial take, but his part in Need for Speed elevated the entire movie in a way that I don't think another actor could have. Can't say favorite, because that'd take a March Madness bracket to figure out.

    Michael Bay has announced that he's directing a film adaptation of OutRun. This has the potential to be amazing, as all he basically have to do is a remake of The Cannonball Run. Then again, Need For Speed just needed to be The Fast and the Furious and that still completely missed that mark.
