Just like Dark Side of the Moon. We'll start together at the MGM lion roaring.

I am going with tubi, for whatever difference that may make.

So is it still 9:15 rather than 9:00? Might want to update the thread title and first post if that's the case.

It's rented! Gonna go take a smoke break and brb.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 7:58 pm

Edited first post, but leaving the title since that's the time to make people go "oh shit, that's tonight" and so we can grab a quick hit off our vapes and whatnot.

So something to look out for throughout the movie is that Stallone's character, Lincoln Hawk, is repeatedly referred to by other characters multiple times as "Hawks". It's like the filmmakers couldn't decide on what his name is and just decided to change back and forth during filming.

Maybe they were all on the same hockey team (not shown).

Two minute warning.

Broke into my stash of Miller Lite for this one.

Went out for some local craft last weekend and drinking Big Dog's Peace, Love and Hoppiness Pale Ale. It's aight.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:15 pm

OK, we are off...let's get truckin'!

And had to go grab a hat!

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:15 pm

I really hope you like this Kenny Loggins song playing over the opening credits because if not this is going to be a really unbearable 90 minutes for you.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:15 pm

Bonneau hat!

I remember the Golan-Globus name being on a bunch of movies I watched as a kid, and didn't realize until years later that it was synonomous with shit.

My beverage choice this evening:

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:16 pm

Starring Sylvester Stallone, Robert Loggia, and bunch of people who work for scale plus ten!

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:17 pm

I don't think this is Loggins actually. There's two songs that just get played over and over and over and over and over again throughout the movie.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:17 pm

Mud flaps weren't the naked lady silhouette or Yosemite Sam, immersion broken.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:17 pm

Holy shit does Stallone look tiny.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:17 pm

This movie was ahead of the curve on product placement.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:18 pm

Lincoln Hawk is an "independent trucker" not to be confused with those trust-fund corporate truckers.

It sounds like Family Guy making fun of Kenny Loggins.

Someone named "Lincoln Hawk" is 100 times more likely to be an Ivy League rower than a truck driver.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:19 pm

I don't know if I've ever wanted to punch a 12-year-old more than the character of Hawk's kid, which means the young man playing him deserves some props.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:20 pm

The richie riches are giving Hawk some sideeye here.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:20 pm

You sure that wasn’t brother Frank?

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:21 pm

Feel bad for the limo driver, he's got not one, but two 12-year-olds above him in the chain of command.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:21 pm

Not sure why Hawk and the kid's mom decided to have Lincoln pick him up and not bother to tell the kid or why it waited until the last second here.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:22 pm

I think the movie missed a real chance to have Hawk dressed in jeans with a tie for the wedding.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:23 pm

Totally photoshopped.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:23 pm

"Meet Me Halfway" is the Loggins song that will be stuck in your head for the next two weeks.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:23 pm

The clip-on reveal was outstanding.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:23 pm

Lincoln already wishing he had just ghosted and gone to a titty bar.

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:23 pm

Between this and Oscar (and others?) Sly has a thing for suspenders.

Across the sky...

It's had residency for a couple days already.

This kid sucks, but he's right to be suspicious in that this is how every abduction begins.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:26 pm

Yeah, these are great questions. I hope he takes off here.

Yeah, this could be the start to a very different movie.
