If eating Flocks is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

The world of John Wick has grown so much that John Wick is now the least interesting thing in a John Wick movie.

Also, have you watched "Hello Tomorrow"? I love it and it strikes me as being right up your alley, but I've been known to be tragically wrong about these things.

Maybe I just got a bad bag of them. But, on the other hand, I think I may have hit the wall when it comes to meat-based snacking options.

I started Hello Tomorrow and was charmed completely by it. Then it pivoted sharply into, what? Not Mad Men territory, but it felt kinda similar: a man blows up his life to question what it all means and where he fits in. I will finish it, probably after the last Ted Lasso.

I agree with you completely about that. Wick is a cipher. The increasingly unfolding world he lives in? That's a plot generator for years. I hope they follow through on "The Continental." I can see how I would do it, and I'm happy to be wrong, as long as it delivers on the premise.

There were two action sequences in John Wick 4 which were not something I'd seen before in an action film, which is really all I can ever ask for from an action movie these days. Also, Donnie Yen is a force multiplier.

Yen was fantastic, no doubt. And yeah, they have done a consistently incredible job of coming up with different gags and ways to hurt John Wick and just so much of the those movies is paying a debt to the HK movie industry. I was particularly enamored with that whole overhead tactical view sequence. Nice way to change up the dynamic.

Ah, but the best part of any John Wick movie is and forever shall be Keanu Reeves. :-)
