    Cannot get drivers to signal consistently, something so trivially easy it was literally a cartoonish bit of dialogue in the otherwise forgettable Clive Owens action film SHOOT 'EM UP (2007)

    It seems weird this scene from the 2007 film Shoot 'Em Up isn't something we talk about more. The world should look like this: Person 1: "I have something to say." Person 2: Paul Giamatti gleefully running over a baby.gif Person 3: Also Paul Giamatti gleefully running over a baby.gif

    It's a toss-up between the part in DRIVE ANGRY where Nicolas Cage and Amber Heard fuck while also doing a gunfight, and the part in SHOOT 'EM UP where Clive Owen and Monica Belluci fuck while also doing a gunfight The best thing a movie can have is a simultaneous sex scene/gunfight

    Random thought: Maybe my favorite bit of film comedy is that the movie Shoot-'Em-Up has an anti-gun message (in the dialogue) but EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM in the movie is solved by increasingly creative and/or insane applications of gun

    One of my favorite things about the totally bizarre movie SHOOT 'EM UP (2007) is that it's a movie that advocates practical gun control and robust firearms education while simultaneously showing constant circumstances by which no gun could ever possibly work as intended

    I feel like if you took the plot of the first film, violence of the second and execution of the 3rd-that would make a good film. But it's overall just a bad throwback to "ol school action films". Remember how good Shoot 'Em Up from 2007 was?

    Well, it’s certainly well titled! It’s all about a chap called “Smith” (Clive Owen) who just happens to be sitting on a bench in the wrong place at the wrong time. Before he knows it he’s having to rescue a pregnant woman from some would-be assassins, and then before he knows that he’s delivering the baby. Now the question is - why would these thugs be remotely interested in a pregnant woman? Well it seems that “Donna” (Monica Bellucci) is unable or unwilling to enlighten him much, and as the…
