My guess is they needed a quick answer for their “invisible wonder jet” scene, and they did a hack job on an existing 3D Tornado model in order to allow for a side-by-side cockpit. To be fair to the animators, they still probably put more thought into the design than the writers did into the rest of the scene.

Ditto. Steady ramp up until Thanksgiving (US), when I decided that enough was enough. It took almost a year of Covid drinking to convince me that I’m better off using the home time to try to change for the better. Turns out that being shut in is actually a good time to quit — no “going out for drinks after work”, etc.

Damn... hopefully karma catches up to him one way or another. Anyway, glad that you guys got through it, sounds like you did everything right.

Wow - but weren’t the cops at all interested in bringing charges on the guy? For that matter, weren’t you? Not judging, but if someone put my family’s life in danger like that, and I had a way of tracking them down, it would be my new mission in life to see them rot in prison.

Agreed, he *should* have gotten it, but also should have checked. Options on (used) car listings are a huge “caveat emptor” area. Which sucks for that Lexus buyer as he probably will think about it every time he turns on the stereo. But a great reminder for everyone else: NEVER trust what you read in a used car…

I support all your points (AND your name, Señor Pendejo!), but what rubs me the wrong way about this is the stench of dishonesty I get from the buyer. At best, they mislead Loren in their expressions of interest in the Jeep. They knew there was another interested buyer, and that the seller had integrity by holding out…

So now we get another big name Hollywood actor putting on a Lativerian accent, instead of one of the many Lativerian actors who could play that part?! Look, Josh Brolin wasn’t even 1/4 Titan, and don’t get me started about Hemsworth. Time to do the right thing: Yank Hanks!!!

Ditto what Veraxus and Ethelred said. I thought it was one of Pixar’s better films, and a nice return to form. Fun for the kids but philosophical and character driven enough for adults who appreciate a moral message with a little complexity. I will gladly watch it again.

Oh yeah, fly domestic in Russia long enough, you’ll spot plenty of them.

Lol - well then, when DC is ready to step up their game, they know who to call :)

Ah... clearly I didn't put 2&2 together...

Exactly - they could have given a random internet commenter a day with the script, and ended up with a much more coherent plot. If Mr Furious can resolve gaping plot holes after one viewing, how the hell was this script allowed to go into production with a Wonder Woman budget?

I didn’t agree with your point at first, perhaps because the whole resurrection scene was handled so ham-handedly (“I only see you”). But, thinking it over, can you imagine the (justified) outrage if the genders had been reversed?

Agreed - grew up in the Boston area, and was amazed by the DC metro when I saw it in the 80s. Not as impressively deep as the lower levels of the London Tube, but I doubt those existed in the early 20th century.

...which 20 minutes of intern research while reading through the script could’ve solved.

Though the end cameo was worth it

No, it’s not an Aardvark, though the cockpit interior may have been based on one. The F-111 had a very distinctive canopy and nose which this lacked (not to mention the swept wings). See the screenshot above, it looks like they adapted the CG model of a Tornado to meet their requirements for the scene. Aviation…

No way is that an F-111. Looked more like a Panavia Tornado to me, but with a fatter fuselage to accommodate the side-by-side cockpit.

I didn’t love the first one, in large part due to the writing, though it had some good moments. The actors gave it their best, and there were a few scenes that somehow rose above the script. I don’t regret watching it once.

Exactly - it’s right after the quiet scene at the midpoint when the whole plot goes off the rails. That first half was a great setup to a movie that, unfortunately, didn’t deliver.
