I thought the reported surprise would be Gal Gadot.

John Cena vs. The Rock: Thrice in a lifetime?


They should have split the franchise into Fast films led by Vin and Furious films led by Dwayne that build to Fast and Furious event films.


We joke about a Fast XXX crossover, but I'm curious to see who wins a fight between Vin Diesel and Vin Diesel when Vin Diesel contractually can't lose fights on screen.

Rory: "Martha."


Family Feud with Vin Diesel's Guardians of the Galaxy family vs. Vin Diesel's Fast and Furious family.


Dominic Toretto in the Multiverse of Fastness, featuring:

Xander Cage
Riddick
Bravestone
Rain Ocampo
Jody
Ludacris in his video for "Get Back"
Wonder Woman
The Transporter
Missandei
The Doctor of Thuganomics


Fast and Furious film titles ranked:

10. F9: The Fast Saga
9. Fast X
8. Fast and Furious 6
7. Fast Five
6. Furious 7
5. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
4. Fast and Furious
3. The Fate of the Furious
2. The Fast and the Furious
1. 2 Fast 2 Furious

I wish they were more creative with titles.

Great Vengeance and Furious 11.
Live Fast or Die.
A Good Day to Drift Hard.

Oh! The Good, the Fast and the Furious.


The Last Supper, but with characters from the Fast and Furious franchise — The Fast Supper!

Dominic is Jesus.
Hobbs is Judas.

…Sean and Gisele? Or Tego and Rico?

No FOMO in China.

Prior to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the highest-grossing video game film of all time was…Warcraft, and more than half of its total gross was China, compared to just 2% of Mario's.

18.5% of the world's population. $21.4 million.

At a time when Asian film and television is thriving internationally, I'm fascinated by China's cultural solipsism.

Chinese film and television has little to no profile outside of China. China is seemingly content just making entertainment for itself.

And its own films outperform many worldwide releases!

Dueling monocultures.
