This week on the program, they couldn't say time cop because then they'd get sued.
It's in time.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Stephen Seda.
In Eric Siska.
Like even Time Marshall would have worked better.
Time agent.
These are as soon.
Hi, Chris Cabin here.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to We Hate Movies.
Thank you for tuning in to Define program as always.
That's right.
If you can even stand it, we are at the last week of listener request.
I can't stand it.
I'm seated.
Here in my time, I'm safest as all in time, Bernard.
Man, I kind of wish it was time, Marshall.
Let's just focus on Mr. Murphy there.
I would be very happy with that.
But yes, this is 2011's In Time directed by Gattaca's Andrew Nicol.
Simone's Andrew Nicol.
Simone.
Lord of Wars, Andrew Nichol.
I mean, Simone might have a reappraisal soon, right?
Because Tilly Norwood, right?
No, we have to stop pretending.
That's even ever going to happen.
It's still a piece of shit.
Don't, don't you worry about that.
It's still a piece of shit.
I mean, what's funny is you just said, Lord of War.
There's Lords of Wars coming up soon.
That's right.
Yeah, it's Cage and they got another guy.
Bill Scars Guard.
Bill Scars Guard, yeah.
That's right.
I noticed that today.
I've never seen Lord of Ward.
I think I'm okay.
That's fine.
It's actually, no, that's a decent.
I think it's a good ladder cage, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
You'd do worse to check out that movie.
Sure.
It might be, other than Gattaca, might be my most liked,
a nickel? Yeah, I mean, Gattaca is an
ass magnet, sci-fi
TV channel. You're like, well, I'm
not leaving for a little bit. Well, until
Jude Law burns himself in a fucking
closet or whatever he does.
You know, it's better than a nickel.
Better than a nickel is a dime.
Oh, God. Andrew Dime?
No, I think that's. I mean,
Andrew Dime would have made a better movie than this.
I also kind of
think good kill is okay. That's his drone
movie. And I didn't see the host
with Sir Shor Ronan. That was
like based on a twilight. It's like a Y-A-ish.
Yes, what's her name?
Stephanie Meyer's other thing.
No, she's got another book property besides them fucking vampires.
It was called the host and it didn't do very well.
Was it a book there and she just write the screenbook?
No, it was a book first, I believe.
Y is, why are we making this?
It's something like Sershick gets like an alien parasite in her, but then like the parasite doesn't want to do.
How does it get in there?
I don't know.
I didn't see it.
Oh, okay.
I thought it was a sexual premise.
No, no.
I doubt it.
We just said it's based on a YA.
No.
They got a lured.
one day.
By the way, all those
YA novels
are like,
I want to kiss a boy.
We know where that goes.
Thank you.
Yep,
straight to the baby factory.
That's right.
Kissing boys?
Kissing boys leads to pushing
baby carriage.
Oh,
I see.
KISS.
Yep,
yeah,
that's how it starts.
That's how it starts.
ER Kissinger.
And then the next thing,
you know,
your life's ruined.
You got an eight-year-old kid.
Everything sucks.
You got no money.
Yep.
Anyway,
this is Listener Request Month.
This is one final request.
This was a call.
in by Dan from Connecticut.
Let's hear what he had to say.
Just in time.
One final request.
Hey, guys.
It's Dan in Connecticut.
Long-time listener.
Love the show.
Love you too, buddy.
I'd love to hear you cover in time
from 2011 with Justin
Timberlake.
Yep.
Amanda Hefrey, is that he's pronounced her name.
Close enough.
That's right.
Pete Campbell from Madman.
Vinnie Carthizer, yep.
My wrist is getting tired doing this circle motion.
here.
He's just being thorough.
Where it has a really inventive,
shall we say.
You guys want to get dinner after this?
A lot of it doesn't work.
You got cocktail makings?
Just while I'm here.
The really weird part of it is
the actors are not in the movie
they don't age.
Yep.
So Olivia Wilde plays
that's right.
Any thoughts on the end credits?
I would have liked to see.
Anyway, it gets really weird.
Timberlake and his mom.
I'd watch it. Thanks.
Bye.
No problem, Dan.
There we go, Dan.
Thank you, Dan, for a great call, unlike some jerks over here.
We were just playing with Dan.
Well, I know why Steve is being so defensive is because he's been trying to get this
a damn movie on to this fucking show for maybe, since it was released.
People don't realize, like, you know, we, I mean, sometimes I look at our schedule and we move
titles around. And this has been moving
around for years on the schedule.
The timeline of this movie
moving along getting the can
kicked down the road. And what it pulled
out of the hat, I was so goddamn exciting.
Now you can't move it. Me and Dan
are going to talk. Everyone else
could leave. I can leave. I can leave.
Wait a second. Speaking of you and Dan,
was this another one and done? One and done.
Only in time. It's a
real situation. We had that with country bears.
We had that with white noise too. We had that with this
Did we have that with Supernova or Bundox?
Supernova, I think, had a couple of boondocks, I believe also had a couple.
And Supernova has shown up in other LRMs before, like, has really always shown up in some form.
It's just wild that we had three episodes this year that were just one person or something.
Well, we couldn't keep on telling Steve that in time two is coming out next year.
Don't worry about it.
We got to wait.
And then the SEO really has to sing here, Steve.
I love this movie because it's
Very stupid and there's just none of this makes sense
And immediately Justin Timberlake is like
Listen I don't have time to tell you why this happened
Just know it happened and I'm like
It's like you've heard of Logan's run
What about Logan's dumb?
I mean Logan's run is pretty dumb
But this is pretty dumb dumb
I guess I should just get out in front of it and say
This is like on the right side of stupid for me
Okay
Like I've only seen this
twice now. The first time I think was like a partial greenout situation. But like it's dumb.
Yes. But it to me at least it was watchably dumb. It is watchably dumb. This was a quick buck 50.
It's fucking shot by Roger Deacons. It's very easy to watch. Like it's not like what my problem with
it is that like it's a little too, it's a pulpy story. It's stupid. Like I want a stupid or a direct like a Michael
Bay somebody who could maybe not Bay because he's going to make it longer. But I like somebody who can make this
and short and quick and like hit all the big notes quickly and then get us back because i i even like
what a hundred six minutes i think it is it drags ass and it drags ass like i was dragging 85 minutes
you could make a really good movie because it's not it's not a it's not a great script no and it's it's
it's like with this dude sci-fi movies like the they're cool concepts like gaddica is a cool
concept i think this is an interesting concept it's dumb it's dumb in how
they execute it and how they talk about it, but it is
kind of interesting. It's kind of interesting. But Gattaca was like a little more
contained, right? This being like you're seeing all these zones. We're
showing the dystopia. I don't think really works. It's just
drab and boring. I made me think of a recent good movie that showed
dystopia in a better way, crimes of the future.
Oh, yeah. Which is like, that's a better way to pot. Because right here,
it's just like, hey, it's an empty Los Angeles street and we're running.
Well, that's the thing.
is like with Gattaca, the whole thing was you created the atmosphere,
created the world, there was a lot more invention going on on the visual level.
Here, it's not, it's the like the silver thing that goes on your wrist to give you time.
There's a few things that are interesting.
But overall, like I said, if it was more pulpy, I'd get into it because then you get,
you just like get trashy stuff out of it, which is what I want.
Because it's an elevator pitch, right?
It's like, what if instead of money people at time?
You know, time is money, right?
You're like, okay, I'd buy that movie.
And then like, you know, and even the, even the setup of like, you're 25 and then you stay that age and you have to, you have to gain more time or else your time runs out and you die.
Sounds cool.
Why is that?
I don't know.
And like what does the time even, where does the time even come from?
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
It's an interesting idea that's not executed successfully in any way.
And I will give us to me some credit for talking about, which movies almost never do.
We were doing this, especially after Occupy Wall Street, income inequality was it was a thing that was.
really going on and like billionaires and like dark nut rises was kind of playing around with this
neither of them really pulled that off but i a little bit of credit for talking about it a little bit
i say you're going with it yes i say bring it back i think it's a great thing to be talking about
in these scripts oh for sure yes i mean that never went away we we failed during our occupy
marches gentlemen you know what the thing is is i didn't like i didn't care so much about like
where the where's the time come from how is all that i was more like while i was in it i'm like you're
just like leaving interesting things on the floor.
Like these people, when they zero out and die,
they just fall in the street.
Who's picking up these bodies?
Are the bodies staying there until they rot?
Yeah.
That would be interesting.
There's something there.
But you're like, no, no, no, no, no, no,
cops and robbers.
Yes.
Let's go back to cops and rob.
That whole, like, the body's lying on the street thing.
You know, I think I confused this movie.
When you were kicking around the schedule, Steve,
I thought it was repo men.
Oh, right.
That's another kind of just dumb, dystopian.
The Alex Cox movie?
No, no, no, no.
the one with Jude Law.
Rebo Man is Alex Cox.
Rubo Man.
Yeah, Jude Law and who's the other fellow?
Forrest Whitaker.
I remember that coming out.
Much better movie than this idea.
Is it really?
Yeah, I think it's much better movie.
I will not go back to either.
But it's got nothing to do with the Alex Cox.
No, not at all.
It's sort of like a...
Take back your org.
Yes.
They reapprised your body basically kind of thing.
Well, these people won't want my stomach, my liver, my kidneys.
My eyes are shot.
My eyes are still okay.
I think that could go up on the auction block.
Some people die with time on the docket.
If you're physically killed.
Yeah.
Now, can we scravage that?
No, there's a kind of a, it's the, um, uh, Alex pedifers character, which I think is the
worst through line in the movie.
A vague street tough that wears a suit that tries to steal time from people.
When they kill, there's the dude walking down the street after Timberlake has dispersed
some time and they're like, where'd you get all that time, motherfucker?
And then they like drive back and kill him.
They kill him. And then pedifer looks and the dude has like four days or whatever.
And he sort of looks like, oh, bummer, I can't take that anymore.
Also, we need to figure out a better, we need some wristbands.
Some just jackass. Some older boy can't just come over and put his wrist on me.
And now I'm dead. That's how this works.
Also, I don't know.
Some bully shows up and now I'm dead.
And also a glowing Holocaust tattoo is all I thought about.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, especially when they're dead and it's black.
You know what I mean?
It goes black.
Then it's regular Holocaust.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's, the setup is, and if they were robots, this would make so much more sense.
It's like, oh, yeah.
This is a world of robots and this is how the robots work.
Oh, I couldn't possibly take a world of robots, though.
But that's the same idea.
Let me see their androids, you know?
They barely eat.
They almost never fuck.
I mean, they're kind of fucking.
The time and no aging would make sense then.
Exactly.
And then it's like, oh, no, I'm running out.
I'm running out of time credits,
beep poop, pop,
you know what I mean,
as opposed to whatever this is.
They're human beings
that are genetic engineered.
There's no other human beings.
It must have been an old wizard
that started this off.
Yep.
When you turn 25,
your clock starts,
you have one year to,
one more year,
but you can gain and lose time
and we use time as money.
But why is it like,
okay,
like I can see like you can just keep living,
but why do you have to stay 25?
Did Leonardo DeCapt?
You start this system.
Oh, man.
Burn out.
Yeah, totally, dude.
You're looking to fucking host an award show later?
I would love to.
If someone could call me, please.
And vice Toby McGuire.
He's hanging out like, yeah.
But like, why 25 and why just...
Why 25 and Logan's run?
Or why not just be? You just age.
Yeah.
And then if you can't come up with the scratch, you die.
Because that's, no, actually, I think that's more interesting, too.
That's more like real life.
Exactly. And then like you just keep, like, there's these old vampire people that look like shit, but they're like, you get more of a...
There's no motivation for anyone to fucking do that, though. Why would you want to walk around like that?
What about if you're that weird vampire person that's trying to be, oh, no, I'm 40 now because they have young blood in my body.
Right. That guy, yeah. And then like people like Rupert Murdoch hang in there forever and they love being old weird skin bags.
I guess so. But if those old skin bags were given the opportunity, of course they wouldn't look like Rupert Murdoch looks around.
right now. Of course you would look 25 and that's the conceit of the movie.
But why? I don't know. I would imagine generally
speaking 25 year olds is more attractive to most people than 67 year old.
Andrew Nicol, my God, man. Just make a vampire movie.
I mean, I think it's one of those, it's a damned if you do and it's damned if you don't
with this idea, right? Like they didn't explain it. We're sitting here like, well, how does
any of this work? If they try to explain this idea, you're also totally fucked because
there's no satisfying kind of explanation for this sort of idea.
But you need to put a hat on it.
I was looking about this today.
The Matrix,
the part when we find out that like the humans are batteries
is not exactly part of the elevator pitch of the Matrix.
It's more about the Matrix itself.
But it's like you need that moment.
And even like the movie knows it's not so great because like,
I'm throwing up.
We're not talking about this anymore.
I'm throwing up.
And like we just kind of get past it.
And like, but it's there now.
Oh, humans are batteries.
That's why the latter of those films
with the humans being batteries
is more important than the Matrix
is why those movies aren't so good.
You know what I mean?
But you need some kind of identification
like that is why this makes any human sense.
If they were inject into a fake world in this,
it would make a lot more sense
for the 25-year-old timeline.
And then also the classic cars that are everywhere.
I know that's an Andrew Nicol thing
because he likes to think the future
is going to be good-looking, but it won't.
He wakes up on his mom's 50.
his sexy mom's 50th birthday. I could figure it out with this mom, huh?
Step mom, we'll say stepmom. It's a thack mom. She's there to be my thuck mom. Yeah, he is Will Salas and she is Rachel or Salas I guess.
And this is the first of many. Wait, what? That's his mother, but she's a babba babe. That's right. You can tell that this is
2011 because you have her
Justin Timberlake and Vincent Carthizer
all in a major motion picture at the same time.
I don't hate
Tobelike as an actor but he's not a lead.
He's a side guy for sure.
He's a very, very good spice.
It's a little exhausting in this movie
but I will say
in two seconds when
Olivia Wilde drops dead in his arms
his reaction to that.
The way he plays that I think is actually pretty good.
I was surprised that
he could get there.
I actually think he would be better
in a more like a romantic drama
or something like that. Like even a period
piece might suit him better
than this. He, I don't buy him as an
action guy specifically. I just can't get to it.
Don't leave out
his comedy chops though. I think he's a very
funny actor too. So like that
route can go as well. It was very funny
on the social network. Incredible in the back of
the police car. Oh, hilarious.
Oh, generally speaking. The things
he was fucking toss it out back there, dude.
Great and inside Lewin Davis as the, like, the good version of Lewin Davis.
You know what I mean?
Like, yeah, yeah.
And but here it's just sort of like, yeah, the actiony thing.
And like him being an every man also doesn't exactly square.
Like, because he's like in social network, it's like all these, you know, at the time,
these like empty looking nerds like, I don't know who the fuck Andrew Garfield is.
That's just another nerd.
Right.
Oh, wow.
It's the guy from in sync.
You know what I mean?
Like you realize, oh, that's exciting.
You know what I mean?
It's also, I know this is trying to be an every man.
but it's like, it's hard to when there's nothing to glam onto.
There's no person has ever been in this scenario.
No, exactly.
Yeah, and like he's every man also in the sense,
like he works at this factory.
Doing jobs.
Making the hard drives that the time goes on.
I guess.
Where does the dragon fart the time into them?
When does that happen?
Just tell me there's an alien ship in orbit that's putting time juice in them.
Because that's the thing, too, is like, I mean,
again, income inequality is a great thing to,
talk about, but like, when we're talking about
just this, where does the, where does the time
come from make sense? Because at least like,
with money, it's like, well, that's tied to gold
and that's tied to whatever, even though we can
just print money and it's fine.
Like, where does this time come? I guess
maybe that's the comment, because, you know, money is
fake. Yes. But also, like, I'm
telling you, like, it never even crossed my, like,
I'm like, oh, so in this world, that's
how it is. Okay. Did it hang you up
the whole time? Because really, at the beginning, I was
like, how does this? You know at the end? Just
show me like a dark city type of thing.
thing where they're on a disc
hour to in the middle of outer space.
I think most movies should end like Dark City.
Oh no, you were in space the whole time.
Oh, yeah. Did you get a little Twilight Zone at the end of every single movie?
That'd be amazing.
Oh, Daniel Craig died in Mexico.
Dark City.
Yeah.
They have a thing here that they don't actually tell you what it is until way later in the movie,
but Timberlake's talking about like, oh, I can get you like all the, I'm going to get some more time for it.
I can end some time on the side.
She's like, not by getting in them fights again, are you?
And what you don't know at the time, everybody, get ready for this.
They're talking about time arm wrestling.
In my head, I'm like picturing, you know, like JT, he's shirtless, doing some bare-knuckle boxing in an alley.
No, no, no, no, no.
Time arm wrestling, everybody.
That's the thing is the actual street fighter kind of thing would have been a more interesting angle.
And then you work your way up and then, you know, Pete Campbell's the head of the kumete or.
whatever.
Yeah.
Shit,
you know,
I hate this premise.
Lay into,
like the poker stuff.
Like,
laying to him
as like a card shark
and like,
that's how he ascends in the world.
Yeah.
But that's like four minutes out of this movie
and then that's all gone.
It's also just a world that looks so empty.
Yeah.
Like everything looks empty.
That's the problem.
Yeah.
I want like,
that's why like,
and like,
pulp your movies,
you get like interiors where you could crowd people in,
where you would make something, the world feel full
without having to show the world.
It's not that hard.
It is kind of weird, like, at the end of the movie
when everybody is racing to the time dispensary
or whatever.
And there's more than, like, seven people in the frame,
and you're like, oh, there's people in this world.
Exactly.
Where did you all come?
People always say, like, Christopher Nolan
makes these cold, sterile movies.
Andrew Nicol makes the cold sterile movies.
He really does.
He really does.
Even Gataka, which I really think is a fantastic movie,
is a fucking ice cold movie, though, man.
But the, I mean, but, like,
even if this was, like, more like something like Robocop or something
where, like, you know what TV is in Robocop.
You know what, like, you know, I would love to know what TV.
I would love a little comedic.
There's tons of TV in this world where they're watching cable news constantly.
Yeah, but there's nothing.
Yeah, I guess that's fair.
But there's no comedic relief.
Yeah, exactly.
This is just cold sterile world with cold sterile robot people.
Because right to call, you know, just a sitcom like, honey, did you use eight hours?
hours last weekend.
Dude, and then we're on this episode going,
can you believe how they ripped off Robocop with the fake TV shows?
I would like enjoyment.
How about that?
I'd buy that for a minute.
Yes.
Oh my God.
Or a second maybe.
That would actually be pretty funny.
Well, that's the difference, right?
It's like Robocop is like a very violent satire.
There's nothing about this that's satirical.
This is like sci-fi.
It's like social messaging through sci-fi.
Social commentary.
Sure.
Through genre.
But not trying to like be funny while we.
No, because it's like, because I think because of the premise, it gets very self-serious by nature.
And like, yeah, you would love to have a comic relief, but like also like what's to joke about exactly here?
You could find something.
I'm sure.
I mean, Robocop could also be like incredibly humorless, but Berhoven found ways to be that.
We're working at the time factory.
In this world, because they're genetically engineered and the entire cast is hot, I'm like, oh, it's like hot planet.
Yeah, like eugenics.
Except Johnny Galecki's walking around
When did that happen?
Johnny Galecki's got this wife, by the way, and I was like,
are you in this world also the star of the Big Bang Theory?
Maybe he was in.
Who fucking bag this lady?
Oh, dude, he got so many hours from being on the Big Bang Theory.
Oh, me, he got a millennia for being in the Big Bang Theory.
Dude, yeah, they got a fucking century per episode.
I don't believe we didn't say it.
I can't believe we didn't say it, but like, honestly,
this gripe here about the world,
saved by a scroll.
Yes, yeah. Zero scroll.
And like the narration from JT does not cut it as we've said.
But this is a primo spot for a two-panel scroll.
I feel like give it a full two-panelor.
And the weird thing is like, how would you ever be able to?
I mean, like, how can poor people sleep?
Because they really can't because you always have to be fucking working,
which is again is what the point is.
But I don't even, I couldn't take a nap.
My God.
No.
What a miserable situation.
Yeah, so we see him.
Timberlake is like kind of.
man of the neighborhood. He gives a little girl
five minutes of his time. No way.
No, no, no way at all.
No, you get fucked little girl. Get out of here.
Robin those little girls.
I'd be taking all their time.
Well, I mean, this is just where we're peace aging.
The fact that, you know, he
has this dad that's very important.
That's really going to matter a lot.
The dad is somebody you need to know
more about. I was, the first time
I saw this, I was certain Killian
Murphy was going to say, I'm your dad.
Oh, right? I was certain.
I bet you that's a fucking alternate script, Chris.
That's a really good idea.
It would be interesting so you can't do it.
What if instead, Killian Murphy dies mid-sentence because his time runs out like half of the people in this movie.
What if that happens?
He is just like any other fascistic fucking bootlecker, dude.
It doesn't matter.
He's just like everybody else in District 12 and he dies as such.
I'm kind of fine with that.
I guess the problem is ultimately, it would be able to even out if the rich people were having fun.
Yes, that's the weird.
Thank you.
That if they were having, but that the whole point of the movie is they're not,
they feel too.
They are also having a bad time.
The decision, I mean, I guess though, like, right,
because their decision to not do anything so we can preserve our time and live safely
is kind of like this, like this world's equivalent to like money hoarding and things of that nature.
But again, executing this into a movie where things should be moving and shaken,
your whole like villain class is like, we're scared to go outside.
We're scared to do fucking anything
Even like a big old fat guy
Who is just like
Enormous
It was just like
I'm 200 years old and I love eating
Everything I do is just for food
It's fantastic
Can you get heart disease?
A great question
Can I add to the clock then
If I get it like oh that takes a year off my life
Let me add a year
Oh that's it yeah
Oh yeah like I just
I spent last week
I ate 500 cheeseburgers
Now let me get some fucking time back on the
clock there. Oh yeah there. Put it into my wrist. It's like it's the blade vampire, but he's got like a nice suit on because he's rich.
We do touch on the idea of like wouldn't it be nice to do something and like when, I mean, we're getting way ahead where Timberlake takes sea freed out to the beach.
A little skinny dipped. And it's like what happened to doing something foolish? Let's have fun or whatever. But no one besides that one moment, literally no one is using their time to have fun of this.
it doesn't even capture them having fun.
It goes back to him and Deacons
have like this very pretty shot of
from underwater of them like frolicking.
But like you have to show joy.
And that's like something they avert.
I also think it's because this is all plot.
Yeah, everything's the fat man you're talking about
who's enjoying his fucking, you know, strudel or whatever.
That we made up which would be good in this movie.
But it wouldn't come back around.
It wouldn't matter in the end.
It wouldn't be to make this thing so tight and perfect.
I would love a scene.
of like, you know, it's Vincent Carthars are waking up in the rich world and like he's got those like old people things in his shower so he doesn't slip.
Like he's so careful.
Like have a little fun with it.
You know what I mean?
But then that'd be, you know, you'd veer into any type of comedic moment which we cannot have whatsoever.
No.
But yes, they walk by a dead dude in the street like, oh, now they're dead dude in the street.
What a fucking shitty world.
At the factory.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because it's like kind of like a factory town thing where.
like now you get paid at the end of every day, but now you're getting paid less because you
didn't hit your quota and the quotas are going up. Right. And here we're going up cost of livings
going up everywhere. We do get some world building here with the outside the factory and stuff because
there's signs. And this sort of veers comedy. We only see it for a second doll. There's a sign for
brevet beer. Six pack is only one hour. There's a 99 seconds only store. Yeah, I like that.
That was a fun little gag. Yeah, there's like hints of a world.
Yep.
That you'd think we'd see when we drove,
we do a cross-country trip in this.
Well, that's, everything looks like,
it's all Los Angeles and it's also like,
is there other,
are there other countries?
This is like mega city one scenario.
Like we keep showing,
Killian Murphy looking at the big map and it,
like areas are going random.
I'm like,
what's beyond that show?
You know,
it's like a demolition man, right,
with the sterile new age world that nothing ever happens in.
Which I think also,
and I forgot that Nicol wrote the Truman
show, which is easily his best work.
And it's got Peter We're directing and Jim Carrey.
Those are things that Andrew Nicol would never do in his own movie.
You know what I mean?
It would just be so, like, controlled.
So, yeah, Will and Borrell is Johnny Galecki's character name here.
They decide to go out to a bar after work as one does in a factory town.
Sure.
And I like this.
He hits up this dude.
He's like, you still owe me an hour.
from this card game last week or whatever.
So, like, again, little hints about how they live in this world.
But they notice here a very well-dressed individual.
This is a not yet famous Matt Bowmer playing Henry Hamilton.
And this guy is the equivalent of like those people that go to Vegas knowing that they're going to kill themselves at the end of the weekend.
And they just live it on.
They spend all their money, you know, on food, booze, women, whatever.
He's flashing his time around, right?
He's got this wrist that says like a century or whatever.
Yep.
And, you know, he's in the, here's a thing.
The script keeps saying the ghetto.
We shouldn't say the ghetto.
We got to think of fucking anything else.
How about District 12?
It's right fucking there.
I know that's also a goddamn, uh, uh, hunger games thing.
Or the short time district.
You know what I mean?
Look, if you want to get cool with it.
Geto, though, it's a problem because you want to talk about income inequality.
Okay.
Make it worse.
Because right now it's like, okay, you know, uh, him and his mom.
got a pretty nice apartment.
It looks like they live at Melrose Place.
Exactly.
It doesn't look that bad.
And then you have Amanda Sefer,
be like, what are you from the ghetto?
And I'm like, that doesn't sound right.
There's a hard G on that, my friend.
Yeah, I think in this case,
ugly and chaotic costs money.
Yeah.
And they're not going to, like,
you're not getting children of men
where like the whole screen is full of stuff
to tell you,
this place has failed.
Then change ghetto to District 1
and you can do a stinky face
when you say District 1.
Because they're all obsessed with like the time zones.
The time zones are these districts
So it's like oh shit
You're time zone 12 aren't you
Different than our time zones
Like it's not it's not like it's not the same thing
And I was very confused about that
Thank you so it's not like it's three hours ahead
In New Greenwich
No no no they do that thing where they
They use it like that
Before informing the audience of what they're talking about
And you don't actually learn what they're talking about
Until ages later when you see a map
That's like you know here's time zone A times
Which is apparently a map
of the Los Angeles area or something?
I think I read that in the trivia.
Oh, is that right? Is that what it is? Yeah.
Well, it makes, I mean, it makes sense, right?
Because, I mean, they needed a map.
They didn't say of what.
But to your joke about it's a cross-country drive,
it clearly can't be because they don't have that time in them.
So it's a cross-county drive.
Yes.
I guess is the idea.
Even though it feels like it's supposed to take forever
for him to go through all those zones.
Not toll booths.
time booths.
Oh, a time booth like Doctor Who has?
Is that what you mean by a time booth?
Oh, the TARDIS dude is fucking phone box.
You know a toll booth where you throw like a quarter in?
I remember those.
If you live in 1975.
Yeah, exactly.
It's like that, but for time.
Right, right, right.
I mean, even when he's going through the, those, like, why don't you show him like,
oh my God, I've never seen this part of like.
That's exactly.
There's these little moments that you can pick up very easily that you don't have to
change, I would say you should change a lot of this, but hey, if you don't want to change all,
but you don't have to change that much, you just add these little pepper in moments, you got
something a little better. Because that's the thing. And honestly, like, when he gets to New
Greenwich, it doesn't look all that different than, not at all, than where he's from.
Metropolis to Metropolis, maybe if New Grannich was like a beautiful farm country, very different
kind of world. Yeah, we're just like a downtown.
Futuristic, like, super skyscraper thing. And then maybe in the middle, there's like a far,
even like, I would like see some of the middle. So you know what I mean?
Like, sure.
Oh, this is the middle.
We do all our farming in District 5 and they have, you know, a big farm.
You know what I mean?
Like that's...
You should read those Hunger Games books, dude, because everything you want from this movie is those books.
Sure.
I don't need to eat from a farm.
I can just add more time, idiot.
Yes.
What are you from the ghetto?
That's, I mean, that's another thing, right?
Presumably, like, you can starve to death and still have, like, 100 years on you, right?
I guess if you can get shot in the head.
Yeah.
I mean, similarly, if you refuse to eat, you can just starve to death.
Oh, yeah, easy, easy, easy.
So you can be fat.
see again like this is the thing that the film is unconcerned
which is my turn to have been made i think you can't
my belief is that you can be a fat man in this world
and they should have fucking peppered some fat people at that vincent carthizer party
a big fat guy going to the factory
yeah he's got like an hour left but somehow he always makes it work
at the end of the night because again like he's got no uh he's in a food
desert he's got to eat fucking time donalds or whatever we're going to call it
Time bell?
Yeah, totally.
Oh, the Time King, do you don't go to the Time King?
To what you're talking about with a bomber.
This is where we actually meet Fortis,
which is Alex Pedipher's character.
Fortis.
This is exactly why this character is this,
is because Andrew Nicol got into his head,
but we got to call somebody Minuteman.
Yeah, exactly.
It just sounds too good.
Minuteman, I mean, that's got to be a bad guy, right?
But that could be Killian's team.
Oh, here comes.
the lead timekeeper in his minute man.
Like right there. You can do it there.
I think it's, and I thought that this is going to
happen. I'm like, because when he escapes and blah, blah,
blah, blah. I'm like, oh, that guy never comes
back, but he's back and he's a back
a lot. Like, it's kind of fine to have
something in the beginning of your movie to let you know, like,
this is how this works over here. Right, exactly.
He's the king's shit in this small area.
He's in a gang that goes around and steals time from other
people, which is a, is a fascinating
thing. But we got other
villains to deal with. There's too many villains
in this movie. There's three of them.
Too much story. Actually, this is more TV series.
Yeah, yeah.
You got a world that you have to build.
This is not, you're doing it very like haphazardly here.
Star Wars did it.
It sounds like a series.
Oh, no, season three gets really good.
And I'm like, I don't have time for that.
I'm sorry, industry is good.
You're crazy.
That wasn't a shot of industry.
Oh, I thought it was.
Other sci-fi shows will be like, oh, man, season two.
Yes, yeah.
Well, similarly, I've been like, oh, how do I start Battlestar?
And people have been like, well, first of all, you skip the first 17 episodes.
I don't disagree completely.
Is that right?
Oh, I've heard there's some skipability.
If you wanted to get into the nitty-gritty fast,
just watch the first series episode 33,
but the miniseries is worth it.
I think all of the Ballastar stuff is good.
The one I always remember is Buff.
I never heard the end of it with Buffer.
You guys skip this one and then watch three episodes from this one,
but then you don't want to watch the rest of it.
And then the first episode of this one,
and then the fourth and the ninth and the 12.
Carry the one.
I've always just said with Buffy, stay away from that last season because it is out of gas.
It's bad.
And then with Angel just start in season two because they clearly changed the idea of what the show was after the first season.
Season two starts with way less about Angel's paranormal detective agency.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
That was an idea that was on the talk of the short.
But the In Time series, like if season three of in time introduced like the Doomsday Clock and that's when you have to start watching.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There should be more to this.
There should be like a God type of thing to this beyond.
You figure the end of the movie, right, is like them.
And I assumed this, even though I'd seen it already and just clearly didn't remember much of it.
But like, you keep waiting for, oh, they're going to get to, let's just call it the mainframe.
Yes, exactly.
You know what I mean?
And like, we have to destroy the mainframe.
And that's going to break this.
The funniest part is the end of the movie, which is like they've done all these little time crime bank run.
And then at the end, it's like, it's the biggest building of the bunch.
It's a building so big, you can't get it out of the way of the camera.
Like, it's just building.
Oh, you must be so many hours in that building.
Could you imagine how many hours they could fit in that big old building?
We're going to rob the biggest building in the world.
I'm going to tell you, hi, I'm Andrew Nicol.
Hello.
Hi, I gave Roger Deacons the widest lens that is available for the camera.
And he could not get it.
It is very wide.
This fucking shot on that building at the end.
So Bomer, you know, is kind of making a scene like we said.
And Timberlake goes up to him.
And he's like, hey, man, people will kill you for the time you got there.
You shouldn't be shaking that shit on Maine, man.
And why don't you get out of here?
And then, like, this dude Fortes, Alex Pettifer, challenges him to a fight.
And Bomer's like, give me one second.
I've got to go vomit in the bathroom.
And then what should have called the other guy, his number two, Chet Hanks and this hat over here.
It does look like Chad Hanks.
He really does.
With the world's worst hat that he is wearing to be in the movie.
At that angle, too.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, dude, it's like tip just a little bit forward because it's quote unquote cooler that way.
No, no, thank you.
But they escape and in this, I think another part because if this gets really talky and thinky, then maybe the action isn't very good in this movie at all.
And this movie has a lot of action scenes.
It's mostly just running away.
Yes.
Yep.
That's correct.
Yeah, just kind of running.
Lots of running.
Which adds to the...
Run for fun.
What the hell kind of fun is that?
It adds to the repetitive nature because it's like you're running a lot and then also like try to clock it how many times they're like in a hotel or in somebody's apartment or something and it's like, oh, we can take a breather.
And then Killian or Alex Petty for his gang like break the door down and we just start again.
And it's like, I understand.
you're going for, which is like this non-stop, we're going to keep going sort of action thing.
But even in those non-stop movies, there's successful points where they kind of like stop
briefly and it doesn't kill the movie and it doesn't feel repetitive. So like the running
and the oh, we're safe. Oh, no, we're not. Like it happens like three or four times. You know,
and I love Deacons, but like the way it's shot too is doing it no favors. Like if it was a steady
cam running after that, you make this energetic. You make this feel like you're a part of it.
It feels fucking cold, man.
It's pretty boring filmmaking, you're right.
I'm watching it from a distance.
Too pretty.
Every second.
Too pretty.
I don't need it.
Yep.
So, yes, this is where we learn.
Will is only 28 years old.
He's 25 and three years, they say.
But Matt Bomer, you see, he's 105.
Uh-huh.
He starts talking, Will brings him to like this,
they're like hiding out in an apartment or something.
And he's like, you know,
Boomer's explaining, like, the day comes
where you've just, like, fucking had enough of all.
all this. Like, you don't want to be alive.
Do you know how much it sucks being alive for 105 years?
Like, even though you're, I like this.
Like, even though your body doesn't break down, your brain gets burned out.
Which makes total sense.
And also, like, they don't do anything.
It's not like, oh, I went to Paris last year because I'm so fucking rich.
They're just sitting around.
The plane can go down and then you're dead.
Why is everyone in the ghetto?
Yeah, I know.
Why is everyone in the ghetto unfamiliar with the concept of not wanting to be alive?
Yeah.
Like, who could not want to be alive?
My God, it's fucking awesome here.
I feel like everyone would be killing themselves every day.
Of course, especially if your time is running out and is like,
can I eat dinner?
Like, I don't mean, I get it.
It's an extreme idea of what poor people have to go through,
which is like, do I eat dinner or do I, or whatever?
But, like, it is just weird that, like, it chips away.
The money you're spending chips away at the time you have left,
it's a little, it just doesn't exactly work.
It's not a perfect one-to-one.
I like the idea, but I just don't think this works.
Like time can.
be measured one way, but also
like, I can pay
for a thing of milk at the grocery store with a
fiber. Yeah, I mean, like, there's still
money. That's where I think the trip-up
is. Like, you can have this notion of, like,
we have a, there's a new
biological clock inserted in humanity,
and, like, you see your weird tattoo
and your countdown and whatever,
and all of that, but, like, tying
it into the money is what
trip up is. Which is the pitch
and which is exciting, and I understand why
it was pitched like that, but, like, the
I just, it's so frustrating.
It's just frustrating.
I'm forgetting what I was saying.
There's a movie, I'm forgetting the name of it came out a couple years ago.
It's Owen Wilson and Selma Heg.
And the whole thing was that you paid money to have like the filter that made the world seem happy and nice.
Oh, weird.
I don't know this.
I think it's called Bliss maybe.
Okay.
And like if you run out money, you go to what real world is and it's like disgusting.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
And like everybody's dying,
culture's rotted,
everything's gone away.
And like,
it's another,
it sucks.
It's a terrible movie.
I turned it off after like 45 minutes.
But like,
it's a similar thing where I'm like,
the idea is,
is good.
There is something here.
Right.
But you have taken the,
the route of trying to make this like a serious movie.
A movie that is supposed to be seriously,
like art almost.
And like,
that's not what this is.
It's trashy.
And that has to be trashed.
You have to treat it like trash.
And then the whole like the counting of the time,
like killing people at 25.
is there overpopulation in this world?
What is going on in this world?
If the ghetto was full.
Yeah.
They fucking like rabbits over there.
Right, or whatever.
Just flesh out the world in any way.
Just a confirmation here.
Yes, 2021's Bliss.
You were right.
Owen Wilson and Salma Hayek.
It's a Mike Cahill movie, which is interesting.
He's the dude who did eye origins and another Earth,
which are two really solid, like, meat and potato sci-fi movies.
Is that the Will Smith movie?
No, another, not after Earth, another Earth.
Another Earth.
With Britt Marling.
Yes.
A really solid move.
Interesting movie.
And then I Origins was the follow-up to that.
Didn't see that one.
The same exact team more or less.
But I did not see Bliss, but just interesting.
Shout out Mike Cahill.
He's like, it's so sad to be so rich and like Timberlake can't understand it because
he's so poor.
We're drinking whiskey or nice whiskey and like, it doesn't taste good.
Now it does.
Timberlake passes out Matt Balmer because you could just go up to someone's wrist and either steal it
Or give it by thinking about it.
It's just like your wallet and your credit card.
Sure.
It is.
Biologically?
No, but I mean, that's what...
Could I think...
Could I Venmo you with my mind?
That's what this movie's version of that is.
Pickpocketing.
That's exactly what this is.
Steve, you just have to accept that this is what this world is.
I will not.
Then you don't do anything.
I'm an American citizen.
You'll stop going, why does this happen?
Because this is the world of the movies, Steve.
But then it's like, if you could pickpocket like that way, would anyone shake hands?
Where would anyone get closed?
Or then the man who invents a fucking wristband
is the richest man in the world
because that would stop people from doing this.
Oh yeah, you want a wristband?
A century, pal.
Better start saving.
Well, don't forget, there's also the weird, like, Batman Forever.
You have to grab by the forearm and twist, you see.
And I feel like it's like, yeah, counterclockwise to give,
clockwise to receive the money.
Okay.
I never really got it together, but yeah.
And, you know, also it would be helpful if Venbo, if you had to, like, tag the transaction every time you stole something from somebody.
You know, like a little, little pizza emoji.
Exactly.
Pizza, like a sleeping cat for some cat sitting fees, maybe.
But he steals, he gives him all this money and he writes in the, on the window, don't waste my time.
And then he just goes and sits on a bridge and you watch, like, his last 15 seconds.
And he has, I guess, an in-time heart attack.
Yeah, and falls off this bridge, face first into the LA river.
Could you do me a favor and write to the cops that this is okay?
Because I don't want to be, you know what I mean?
How about you pin something to your jacket?
You know, this was intentional.
I mean, even to just like this, I mean, you think about it and you start to drive you crazy.
Like, it's the last moment with this character that we've gotten a little bit of.
We got some heart from him.
The bomber's got the juicy.
Homer's great, man.
That's the weird, like, realizing he's like not yet famous and this is a tiny roll.
I was like, oh, ah.
He's very good.
great in those Magic Mike movies
But like why are I not seeing his last
What is the last beautiful moment?
It's on him.
The camera's on him and being like,
Look at my time.
It's not like what's the sunrise.
But he's looking at the sunrise.
But he's not looking at what he's seeing.
But I know what he's seeing.
So why didn't you?
Because the camera didn't show me it.
The camera needs to show me like.
He's clearly look at the sun is lighting his face.
What could it possibly be?
Because it has to be an image that brings me joy or beauty or something.
Selfishness.
is this man's death, not yours.
I could, what?
Instead of seeing...
Instead of seeing his beautiful, young, old face,
I can see what Chris is saying.
Like, you want to see that sunrise yourself.
Speaking of young old face, though,
that's what it needs to be.
When your time expires,
you age, like, you just fucking pick the wrong cup.
You know what I mean?
You just turn to dust or skeletons or whatever.
Whatever the age was, like...
That's a great call.
You age into that age.
Just super fast turning 105 in like a second.
Exactly.
A classic, what is happening to...
You know what?
I feel like more people would still to this day
be talking about this movie.
If it was like, that's the movie where when your time runs out,
you turn into a skeleton.
Yeah, like they robbed the bank at the end
and all the rich people just start turning to like
monsters and falling apart at the bones.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, that's what it is.
They get to the mainframe.
And they destroy it.
And then all like Vincent Carthizer's like giving a speech
at some conference or whatever.
And just like the whole auditorium just turns to dust.
Fuck yeah.
But what if it was the biggest building
you've seen in your life?
Well, then I'd be really concerned.
There's a lot of skeletons there to clean up.
What if there were little
metallic canisters in there
that we'll call time.
Yeah.
And that's what we'll be robin.
Diet time.
You know, it'd be kind of cool
thinking about like the age thing
because later we find out
that Amanda Sifreed is,
she's younger than Timberl.
He's like 25 plus three.
She's 25 plus one or something like that.
Yeah.
It'd be kind of cool
and like kind of a funny joke about like a pornography
and the way we view youth in this country
like if people are like
oh my God Amanda C. Fried she's 25 plus one
and they all look the fucking same
you know what I mean like she's only 25
yeah exactly it's like barely legal
pornography but you're 25 plus two
I can't yeah they're like very very highly sought out
so is 18 year olds in pornography illegal
in this world probably I guess so yeah
your clock ain't ticking yet
oh dude her fucking clock
wasn't even ticking. How about that? You sick.
Fuck, her clock wasn't even ticking. That's right.
Her clock wasn't even ticking. I could just
fucking grab it.
So, yeah, Will wakes up.
He sees the fucking suicide. He tries to
stop it. Runs away.
He's caught on security camera running away.
He goes back to see Borrell again.
Oh, man. And this is,
you can't give this guy 10 years,
man. I mean, he's your friend from the
fat. I could see giving him 10 years.
But I'd be worried that this guy's going to be crooked
and be like, you know, JT's
rocking like, you know, a century there, man.
Apparently he drinks himself to death
Charles Bikowski style.
And we've only seen him look at the bar kind of
having a good time. And the wife says like
he had nine years left on his clock. So he like
spent a year. He spent a year on
alcohol. Yeah. Drap himself.
That is what you should be doing in
this world. Sure, absolutely.
That's what the more reckless rich.
That's what there should be like an enclave
of the reckless rich.
Yeah. Fomatoriums the whole thing. Totally.
Yeah. Better get a bucket. I'm going to
grow up again.
Like that kind of shit.
Show me those guys.
What that world is like, the hedonism.
Exactly.
Some Caligula stuff.
Please.
What about another Dodge Charger
driving along the side of the L.A.
River?
I mean, it looks great.
The first time I see it,
but the 90th time, not so much.
It's weird.
And, like, you know,
that's that, like,
it's the future.
So it's just,
we all drive one car or whatever.
But, man,
that Dodge Charger is pretty cool.
It's a good-looking car.
Like those the fucking flashing lights on the grill that they have.
Oh, it's fucking cool.
Is it 15 times cool?
Oh, maybe, but I don't know for sure.
Probably not.
But like the alcoholism thing is all we know about Galecki.
Like when we first meet him and he somehow landed this fucking wife.
Don't forget that.
That's we'll find out very soon.
But like Gleki wanted to get the coffee, he pour some of the little bit of the bottle.
Oh, that's literally all we know about him.
And like, yeah.
And he like licks his lips when he gets the.
the century's like oh boy got to get myself to the
old bar arena. I can't blame
him, you know, you're working in the factory all day
making thing.
Yes. We're making time boxes.
Right. We're making time boxes for
other people. Oh, we don't fill them
with time. We just make the time. We have to bring that up to the
wizard and the dragon in the sky to fill that up.
Maybe that's all, is it all
Weiss time lenders?
Yes. He owns all that shit. And here's the thing. If you
are Mr. fucking rich boy,
here. You've got 100 years, 115 years on him. Gives 10 years to his buddy. That's a nice thing to do.
You know, you're going to spot the little girl on the street five years or something. I'm taking a cab to my mom's
office and my sexy mom's office and saying, hey, mom, because I know you've got minutes left to live because of all
of the impoverishment we've been living in. If ever there was a time to surprise your mom at work.
Exactly. Because the plan is like, she says to him that morning, like, oh, by the way, here's an extra half
hour so you can get a lunch break. Which is nice.
But if she had not donated that half hour, she'd be alive to fucking tell the tail,
which is a real fucking rub. But yeah, he's standing, he says,
I'll meet you at the bus stop at whatever time, blah, blah, blah.
He gets, now he has 105 years. And he says, oh, I'm going to take my mom to New Greenwich.
She's never seen New Greenwich. We're going to go out, blah, blah, blah.
He is waiting at the bus stop with flowers. And you're totally right.
Hill a Dodge Charger down.
Get to that office. Why don't you take a bus.
to your mom. Exactly. Do her the fucking favorite because now
in this hell world, which is exactly the world we live in,
everything's more expensive by a day, every day. And now it used to cost
one hour to get to whatever. And now it's two hours.
This bootlicking bus driver, dude, this fucking bootlicking bus driver
that's just like, oh, uh, company policy. I'm not going to
help you out at all. And she's like, I only have an hour
left and it's a two hour walk to which this bus driver
who's pretty much in the same social status.
This woman goes, you better get running.
Fuck you, dude.
And then, you know, because the screenplay, you know, it's written by affluent people.
You know, they're like, oh, in the ghetto, they have to take the bus everywhere.
Oh, isn't that scary?
Oh, my God.
So we have this bus sequence and she's running to get to him and then he starts running, drops his flowers just to meet up and she dies in his arms.
She dies in his arms.
It is kind of a nicely choreigrant.
It's literally the one emotional scene in the whole movie.
Yeah.
Like everything else.
Timberlake's reaction in this is really, it's really solid, I have to say.
Even his like no is not a, no.
Yeah, it's not a Vader no.
It's like a realistic, it's like a believable no.
I guess.
And also Galecki's wife.
Oh, what she talks.
She has a good scene when she tells what happened to Glecki.
That's true.
They should have just leaned into like a Christ allegory with Timberlake, you know?
because like other because it's just like it's a guy that gets time that's the thing right
leader revolution do something you're right on the jesus thing though right because that's an
interesting thing too right he runs out of time and he comes back three days later maybe not maybe
not three days later but like maybe he just survives that oh yeah and then it's like oh he's the
abnormal there's always these movies always have the abnormal even children of men it's like oh she's
pregnant like your chosen one scenario precisely you're neo if you will it's it's it's the problem
that movies have had for the last two decades,
the movie you want starts at the
end of this movie.
They're starting to do what you actually want them to do.
The whole time bandits at the
end. At the
whole movie, I'm like, how hasn't
this already happened a hundred thousand
times? Like, I do not
like there's too many mentally, like, whatever
world this is, the mentally ill are still
here in droves. They're
going to try to kill these people. Oh, they've all
run out of time. It's like they invent bank robbery
in this movie. You know what I mean?
No one heard of it before.
Because there's no like security.
Like, wait, you're taking the time with a gun?
And that's interesting, right?
Because I feel like that's an idea from a way more sci-fi world.
Yes.
Where like you, it's like a THX kind of society.
And then it's like bank robin.
You know what I mean?
Yes, exactly.
Then you'd be like, that's a believable like, oh, they've never seen this.
Yeah, exactly.
Because they're like pod people or whatever.
THX-HX-1138 thought about the aesthetic of the world and they leaned into it.
And they, yes, it's fascist.
It's.
blank, this is fucking blank,
but this has no,
it doesn't have the sheen I need,
it doesn't have the flavor
of sci-fi that I need.
I don't know, this movie drove me up a wall.
Yeah, I can tell.
He's driving now,
because he finds out from his best buddy's now dead,
even though he gave him a decade,
and now I'm going to go to,
I'm going to go to New Grinch
and show those suckers a thing or two
by taking the fucking cab I should have picked my mother up in.
Yeah, and then it's just like,
yeah, I'll drive this fancy car
car into the police station and say,
look at all the money I have.
That's basically the plot of the book. I'll be back.
I will be back.
Yeah, he takes off for New Greenwich.
In the meantime, we are introduced to Killian.
He shows up at the L.A. River, and this is he's Detective Raymond Leon.
Yes, they're time detectives or timekeepers as they call these movie.
And so, like, time is the product they're hunting down.
It's kind of like an ATF, like NARC sort of deal.
Yeah. And yeah, this whole notion of like, oh my God, like this rich guy, well, he last clocked. He had like 100 years. It's all gone and Timberlakes on the security camera. So that sets up like it. It doesn't matter why he came here. What matters is the hundred years that came with him. Yes. Exactly right. Which is also like you can't just give anyone anything. You know what I mean? Can I call a time cop on the five year old girl that took my fucking minute or whatever that I gave to her? Like, why can't this guy just give someone time?
I think it's because they don't believe him because the dude is dead.
They think he killed him and stole the money or stole the time and then killed him.
And you're also, again, like, you're not supposed to question any of, like, why isn't, why aren't the timekeepers hunting down Alex pedifer?
Why isn't that happening?
He's got some dog shit line about like, oh, they let me do what I do because I only do it to people like you or whatever the fuck.
Which we need to know what the government is then.
Like the government, maybe there's the governor.
You know what I mean?
And it's some guy that can actually act and he's in the movie.
Whatever the dude is that's above Vincent Carthiser.
Exactly.
Because Vincent Carthiser is as high as we go in this movie.
Sure.
And like, I don't know.
I need to see that dude like humiliated, fucking pants around his ankles for some reason, defeated, whatever.
Get him in the Star Chamber.
Let's see the other faces there.
What's going on here?
I need President Clock in this movie.
So, yeah, we, he gets a limo ride there.
The guy's like, oh, we normally don't pick up in this time zone.
He's like, well, go fuck yourself.
Drive me to New Greenwich.
And the joke, not the joke, but the thing is every time you go through a time zone,
it costs it costs him a day the first time to get to zone 11 and, you know,
onward until it's a year, a full year.
A full year to get into the city there is the idea.
And he checks into this hotel, which this is like, yeah, you got to be a little cool about this.
Or you show him, uh, experiencing like the wonder of it.
Like you guys were saying, like, oh, my, my.
look at this place and it's unbelievable
whatever. This is, he's kind
of just like, yeah, it's fine.
He doesn't play,
I'm nervous about hiding my status
in the high status world
very well. Like the waitress clocks him immediately.
This is a fucking banger line
though, because she's like, oh, you're
clearly not from here. And he's like, oh, how could you tell?
She goes, oh, well, you do everything too fast.
And he says not everything,
which means he porks slowly.
Yes. Dude, he's an excellent lover.
and this lady knows when he's quitting down.
The look that she gives is like, oh boy.
I would be interested.
Slow slope working.
I mean, the, Gattaca had all those warm colors to balance out the chilly performances,
the cold personas.
This is just all cold.
Like the hotel isn't like, there's no flourish.
It's like the bedroom looks totally like it's just white and gray and that's it.
And that's it.
And like, get out of here already.
We don't even get to see him eat the food.
The food. Yes, it's boring. It's just boring. That's my problem with this. It's just boring. He's wiping
his mouth of a meal that it will cost eight and a half weeks, which is apparently very expensive. What was it? Was it lobster? Was it, you know what I mean? Like, and then he's like, oh, my God, I've only read about this at books if we have books or on television if we actually can see things. Right. Or is it like just protein cubes?
Yes. Yeah, that's the other side of it. Like, is it future food? But it's still like, you know, like luxurious future food. Right. Like a jello mold with a little thing.
And then that would make
when we get to Carthiser's house and we see
the caviar and we see all that stuff, that would be
an actual thing to denote
class. That would be a nice little...
Well, how about wearing a suit?
That's enough for this movie.
He almost runs, but then he thinks better of it because
I can't run in front of these people because they'll realize
that I'm a poor band. Yeah, none of the rich
people run because I'm from the ghetto.
The ghetto.
We see a quick shot of Amanda Seafreed
sort of like spying him. He's like,
guy looks like fucking Justin Timberlake.
Hello.
We don't have hot guys like this in this fucking rich town.
It's all weird blue blood guys.
But yeah,
Killian drops some line around here.
Oh, I knew his father.
This needs to amount to something.
You keep hinting about this dude.
It doesn't, huh?
Yada, yada.
He was an activist and he was murdered for his activism.
Okay.
Is it, really.
That seems to be it.
I think the idea of he's actually the father himself.
Killian, that's really good.
Or even, what if he does?
discovers his father's time capsule.
Oh, time capsules.
If you're digging this up, I must be dead.
Maybe there's like, maybe he's got like, here's a month or something in a disc on one of those things in the time capsule.
It's like, here's how you overthrow the system.
There should be, again, there's got to be some sort of mainframe that we're destroying here.
So anyway, so Timberlake gets the invite to go to this, or he goes to this casino is the idea.
and really sort of high flute and joint gets at a high rollers table
and wouldn't you know it again because it's 2011
Vincent Carthizer is in a movie
You know Vincent Carthizer is doing his best in a not very good movie
You know that's how that works
Yeah I mean it is just kind of the smarmy Pete Campbell character
Yes exactly
Well it's an early Pete before he kind of gets cool a little bit towards the end
Right well I mean even I feel like anyone who tried anything on this movie
Andrew Nichols like no no no colder
I pretend you don't care
And it's also 2000
2011 we got to have a poker scene.
Gotta have a poker scene.
Absolutely.
We're playing Texas.
Hold'em.
I don't care what fucking planet we're on.
Hell yeah.
We're playing Texas.
Hold him.
And the limit is, of course, no limit, because this is the hyper wealthy is the idea.
And we get a decent enough little poker scene here.
Of course, our hero, J.T.
wins the pot.
1100 years he gets from this table.
This is cow Norlock over here.
I love that.
One of the best scenes of the movie, because there is some tension here when he's got like a few seconds on the clock.
he's making these calls.
I do.
I do like when Vincent Carthizer's like,
and he looks down,
he's like five seconds like,
come on,
he's fucking,
I win,
I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, I win, oh my God,
oh, that's close.
He gets the talking with JT here after the match
and Seifreid comes in and he's like,
oh, I've noticed you looking at Sylvia over here.
And I bet you're wondering,
is she my mother, my wife, my daughter?
Does it matter?
All three?
He even says it's even stupider because he goes,
in times like these,
isn't it so strange,
she could be my daughter,
my wife,
and I'm like,
it's the only time anyone's ever known.
Yeah,
is this recent?
Killing Murphy said he was doing this
for 50 years being a time cop.
But yes,
time marshal.
Watch out.
Oh, sorry.
Keeper.
Timekeeper,
yes, please.
Carthizer invites him to his house.
There's going to be another big game
in my big party I'm having.
And the one thing,
what's her face?
Syfried's like, oh, you don't have any bodyguards
because everyone in the rich world has all
these bodyguards. Right. Where do they come
from? What's their do? Who knows?
What's their bodyguards?
They're poorly paid people that work and
that just like, you know, house help and whatnot.
But it doesn't come to
anything that they're just sort of around.
You know what I mean? Like, they're just sort of around.
And they don't really do anything.
Exactly, yeah. You want big numbers like that
if this is a fighting movie.
Exactly. Then later in the movie, J.T. would, like,
wipe out all these dudes in one big fight scene.
Oh, wouldn't that be something?
But this is not a, you know, action-to-hand action movie in the same way.
It's a runner.
He's just doing the one thing Tom Cruise can do.
Big time running.
So, yeah, he goes to buy a fancy car because the fancy car is the only way he can get to the party.
I guess you need something about like, I'm going to drive myself, thanks.
Like someone has to offer him chauffeur services of some kind because he's just at this dealership and it's like whatever it was, like 80 years or something.
Plus tax.
Let us know where you'd like it shipped for display.
Oh, I'm not displaying it.
I'm driving it.
What, what, wall.
Exactly.
Monocle falls into the champagne.
The salesman who also has a monocle, that's how rich this world is.
Oh, man.
Doing your taxes in this universe?
There must be taxes, right?
You've got to do it at the end of the year.
Oh, do I get some time back from the government?
Maybe you do.
Oh, my God, I owe so much fucking time to the IRS.
Oh, my God.
I should have given the...
Oh, the IT has the internal time service.
I should have given them no quarterly time.
I didn't make my fucking quarterly time payments.
I'm just getting fucked at the end of the year.
God damn it.
So yeah, Carthizer again introduces and now gives the, yes, this is my mother.
This is my wife.
This is my durter.
He's got a name which leads me to believe there was a bigger role here that was sliced down.
But Constantine is Sylvia's body girl.
Oh, yeah, yes.
Played by Ethan Peck, who's now, of course, Spock on,
a strange new world.
So that was kind of weird seeing him
in a before he broke out kind of role.
I mean, that's the thing is like if you
flesh out the world maybe, but if you
contracted it a lot, if we spend most of the time
in this house, and that bodyguard's
like a real character and we're
like trying to get around the
elements of the palace
politics with Pete Campbell or whatever.
Maybe that's something to it, right?
Oh yeah. But.
There's a lot of options here.
Just know them were taken.
Yeah, yeah.
We get a nice little thing here where, because
again, we are just the two of them,
Safe Reed and Timberlake's characters are like
eye fucking this whole time.
Get a little nice moment, a little bit of a treat.
We get to see Justin Timberlake dance a little bit
on the dance floor, showing her
like, it's okay to have a good
time sort of a deal. Yes, he's bringing sexy
back to this boring palace party. And they talk about
how it's boring being rich, because everybody's got
these bodyguards, everybody's terrified
to stub their toe and they'll die and lose
all their time or whatever. And basically it boils
down to, you want to have some fun.
How about some skinny,
Go in the ocean.
We never do that.
We just look at it.
What happened to be in foolish?
There could be a jellyfish in there.
Exactly.
Or maybe, oh, no, we just go in my fucking sick pool over here.
You know what I mean?
Something.
It seems like no one swam before.
You could drown in that pool.
They're scared of everything, dude.
And that's why there's no pools either.
You can fucking drown in three inches of water.
I was waiting.
It would be so fucking.
funny. If fucking a man to see for him
just start dancing, she just slips and cracks her head
open. He's like, that's it.
Let me get her time before she dies.
Let me get her time.
I fucking told you dancing's dangerous, goddam.
Keep talking to me. Keep talking to me.
Okay, almost zero. Almost zero.
Another dancing related incident
tonight, New Greenwich. That's why
dancing is now outlawed.
That's right. The footloose moratorium
is in effect now.
Yeah, they go swimming. You see, you think
there's an ass double? What are you thinking? Because it's like you can
sort of see the ace.
It better not be.
I think we got a double on our hands.
There's too much shadow for both.
Yeah.
I think that's really unforgivable.
You're supposed to be, you're supposed to be 25.
You're supposed to be the hot asses.
And you're not, okay, even that's fake.
Fuck this movie.
Man finds out he's watching a movie.
It's all fake.
This is barely a movie.
I'm sorry.
I agree.
I do like the, you can see there.
time glowing under the water.
That's fun of it.
Nice little touch there.
But yeah, the skinny dipping is like brought to an end immediately.
Like someone's like screaming.
Sylvia! Where's Sylvia?
And she, they both dry.
Like maybe that's something in this universe where you,
because her hair would be wet for a fucking hours.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what's been.
More than that too.
Some huge like sonic.
Oh,
the fan thing they walk through or something like that.
Sure.
Yeah.
How about that poker game?
But here comes the Joker.
I mean, no, here comes the.
but Killian Mervich breaks into the thing.
They take him upstairs for interrogation.
And we sort of just fucking go to town on this dude.
We're saying, this is where he's like,
Killian Mervi's like, I'm a timekeeper.
And I was like, that's a dumb name for this job.
Oh, man, it sucks.
And he explains very, I mean, where are the lawyer,
like you have a thousand years where I want to get a fucking time lawyer now,
whatever that is, whatever the time lawyer we call those.
Yeah, I don't know what the litigation situation is in this world.
We've got to figure that out.
Yeah, because you're right.
Like, I guess there's no, like, right to a fair and speedy trial or anything like that.
I mean, again, that's a scroll would come in handy.
It's fucking 21 whatever.
The Constitution's been shredded.
And the timekeepers work for the wizard who doles out time.
That's just how that shit works.
Oh, and that wizard that doles out time, he's also an alien.
That's right.
He's in league with the reverse vampires.
Is everyone satisfied with the details of the science fiction movie?
At the time courts.
Yes, the time courts.
Dong dong.
But yeah, you know,
so this is, he tells it like it is.
He's like, hey, man,
this guy named Henry Hamilton gave me over a century,
you know, and then he timed himself out.
Like, there's no crime here.
Like, that's just what happened.
And Killian's, like, unable to process the notion
of an immortal person,
possibly not wanting to deal with this anymore.
Is the idea here?
Like, I can't understand a person.
just wanting to die.
And he's judge's jury and time secutioner
so he could take...
But it's also like...
Have you ever met a rich person?
They all just want to take Xanax and die.
That's all they want.
But they steal all of his time save for two hours
for whatever reason.
Like I just drain this dude.
Well, he's like, oh no, you're going to go back to the station
and go through it again, but I'm going to hold on to your time.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And then Timberlake's like, well, if you're looking at...
for a murderer, like you can start in the ghetto.
People are fucking killed there every
fucking day. Dozens of people
die there every day. Why aren't you
concerned about that? And nobody picks up the
damn bodies. We got a fly problem out there.
It fucking smells
out in the streets constantly. It's
disgusting. But yeah,
Timberlake bolts in this moment
and takes Sylvia
hostage here is the idea and that's
how they make their escape. And here
comes the fucking repeat
marathon because this is now
like caught let go
caught let go
yes yes but as this is kicking off
when they you know he has a gun to her head
to get out of the house gets in the car
she has this fucking
banger line of I guess you're
really from the ghetto huh
uh huh
we gotta stop with this ghetto talking
like it's just so you really are from district 12
uh huh it's so easy there it is oh
just like a time rat to do the time rat
thing whatever
not the sci-fi thing
as a most to get toe.
And he's like,
he's like,
give me a fucking hour
right now.
It's really funny.
She refuses.
So they just sort of drive off.
He drives over these road spikes
and this is,
to me,
the worst part of the movie.
Well,
they're in this fucking tiny
the cartoon car
that falls down.
FYI,
they're both dead.
I don't know.
This thing goes over
and over.
They're in a fucking
convertible like wacky racers.
They are dead.
He totally does a like,
oh,
you better put your head down
for this.
No, no, no, you better fucking put the top up at least.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, this computer crash, it's so bad.
Just wreck a car.
Come on.
No, those dandelion heads are coming right off.
And Alex Petterford just knows that that's going to happen.
I think he put them the stutter.
Much like a looney tune.
I see.
Yeah.
But yeah, so Alex Petterford and his fucking droogs show up.
And Fortis steals all the time from a minute and save free until she's got only 32 minutes left.
You know, I should have said this earlier, but I also don't like that they're wearing suits, too.
Like, everyone just wears suits.
Oh, well, that's the thing.
It's not grimy enough.
Like, you think about something like Soylent Green, that future of like, income inequality as well, a lot and much better than this.
Where there's people like in hallways climbing over each other.
Everyone's fucking disgusting.
And then you go to the nice building.
Oh, that's the nice building.
That's cool.
Even the, you know, dark city I mentioned earlier, even that's dirtier.
I mean, it's supposed to be like a 1950s pastiche like this,
but it's dirty.
You go to the automat, you feel like a real tactile nature to society.
Here you get none of that.
Nope.
None of that.
But she wakes up and she's got another, again,
does everyone in the ghetto steal?
Yes.
Just fucking shut up for two seconds.
Can't do it.
It's really her character.
Okay.
We're going to pawn her diamond earrings.
That's right.
Well, because they go to Borrell's.
And uh-oh, this is where you learn Borrell
fucking drank himself to death or whatever.
Pretty much immediately.
Yeah.
And he's just like, oh, I'm sorry, his wife.
Why do you give your wife like eight years and be like, I'm going to just get fucking hammered tonight, man.
Why not?
Yeah, I'll pick it up in the morning.
Exactly.
You know, baby, take these eight years so I don't spend it all in one place.
Exactly.
Or if you have a baby.
Wait, can you give baby a...
No, you have the way until the 25.
Oh, okay.
Baby's a little clock to start.
Okay.
Yeah, because remember Amanda Seaford gets a whole decade from daddy.
I forgot the wizard didn't put.
put the wand on the baby's fucking head yet to start the clock.
But yes, she hawks her earrings.
After running, remember, we have to run.
We run to the pawn shop.
That's all this fucking movie is.
Well, they're running because it's closing.
The gate's coming down.
Also, this is a dumb-ass move because, like,
she just, or he throws those earrings under the gate.
And then, like, I don't, like, if I'm the dude, I'm like,
all right, still close.
Thanks for the donation.
I'll wait to three minutes of the door.
I'll have two dead bodies in front of my thing.
Like every day. What the hell?
I'll be honorable.
So Timberlake calls into Killian here.
And Killian is with Carthizer and the wife.
And they're waiting to see what's going on.
And Timberlake's like, I want a thousand years dropped off at the fucking time dispensary or whatever.
The time mission.
But it's the timelines mission.
It says something about it.
I need to drop it off at timelines.
And I was like, you can't call the thing the thing that the other thing's called.
Well, it's like, well, it's like,
smurfing this world time time time why do you time yourself to death oh i timed her last night i
timed the shit out of that woman so we go to the uh like they sneak back into his apartment and he's like
this is really dumb uh you can put on some fresh clothes good thing that you're the exact size of
my recently deceased mother my set oh you're my sexy mom's sexy sexy sexy dress
nothing weird about that she wore sexy stuff at all times fuck me in your mother's dress
what's weird about that nothing at all that's what they hope
we say.
But so like Timberlake, again, we're not revealing the kind of fighting here, but he's now
reveals to her like, yeah, my dad was a fighter.
And what he would do is he would wait till he had like almost no seconds left.
And then the person fighting him would look at his seconds and start counting it down.
And that's what my dad would go into high gear.
So was, I'm putting this together now.
Was his father in an over-the-top situation?
Yes, yeah.
Bill Hurley took his life.
It would just be on the road just getting all those minutes.
Get the minutes.
Better moving.
Yeah.
I was going to waste your time, little man.
I'm going over the clock.
Yes, over the clock is excellent.
But yeah, so he's just, they're like, they don't fuck here, right?
They just, but she's like coming around to his point of view.
Exactly.
You know, and he's like, also, by the way, I'm pretty sure my father was murder.
because of the fact that he would win these fights
and then take the time that he won
and disperse it into the community.
There's all this vagueness and I'm like,
it's got to be fucking Killian.
Why is he here this much if not for this?
And also, I don't know if Nicol knew this,
Killian is blowing Justin Timberlake off the fucking screen.
With so little fucking effort.
And I'm like, I just want to be watching him.
Can I go back him?
Can I go back to the bad guy?
you know what you'd get more time with the bad guy if this was a movie that just had one bad guy
that'd be great you know so think about all those times we had to see alex peddifford doing whatever
in this damage that could be killing time you don't if you can just focus on that relationship of
the cop versus the criminal and then you don't have to do the daddy banker everything oh but then
then you miss out on the the arm wrestle that they're building up this whole how could I forget
then you would miss out on the epic fucking
with the guy from Ash versus Evil
Ash versus Evil Dead also for no reason
it's just here. Okay. What's his name?
I've got it. I watched the show. I don't remember who this.
The second, it's the lady and then his number two. Like I forgets.
Yes. Oh, the young guy. Yes, the young guy. Oh, that guy is in the bar and then
he shows up in that scene and he just gets his head blown off and that's it. That's exciting.
But yeah, the next morning, again, in this very clean, nice apartment, you know, no cock, no cock, give me some like seven-esque cockroaches, you know what I mean?
And she's like, ew!
Yeah.
Yeah, so it's the next morning, and they're checking to see if Carthizer donated the thousand years to the center.
And he sees the dude, like, goes.
And it's like, like a fucking vacancy sign for a motel.
It's like, no time.
And he's like, the no is still lit up.
And he's like, oh, your dad didn't do it or whatever.
and she's like, okay, we're going to go down.
I'm going to call my father from the pay phone.
They do get a quick kiss right here as like the start of it.
So this is we're down there.
He's like, okay, you call your father.
You'll be picked up.
It'll be totally fine.
I'll sit here across the way and I'll watch you as you make the phone call.
And as this is going down, Killian comes around the corner here and he's about to blow J.T.
away.
And she sees this and fires her gun, shoots Killian like in the shoulder or whatever it is.
So that sort of now is officially broken her from any kind of,
easy return home.
She's not shot a cop.
Remember, he's fine.
Nothing matters.
No blood.
Oh my God.
You shot a, you know what I mean?
Like something like that.
You know, the paramedics come inject a month into his arm or something.
Well, actually, no, before he leaves, Timberle gives him time.
And she's like, why would you give him time?
It's like, well, it takes a while for a cop to get out.
And I don't want this evil son of a bitch cop to die for some reason.
Sort of going a little overboard on proving to me that he's the hero.
of this movie like I get it he's a good dude
he can still let this guy bleed out
in the street because they're not even like I mean like to be
whatever like they're not even like the
idea of cops in this world which is
also whatever but like they're just
like evil bastards that keep
the poor down very specific not even like
in the vague ways cop do that
now like they very very
overtly do that here and why at the
end if this is what you're doing
and this is what matters to you giving this person
that you don't like at all more time
why are you like weeping
at the end of the movie.
He just died.
It's like, I could have given him death.
If you made him a Christ-like person, altruism, he wants to help everyone.
Something.
I think it's supposed to be because the first time it's like their fault.
And the second time is like, because motherfucker didn't check his own watch and that's on him.
It really needs to do that.
I'd be checking my watch all the time.
Constantly.
And that's, I mean, that's what like Timberlake says like, because there's the moment when he wakes up in the hotel.
And it's the first time like he looks and he's like, oh, I didn't.
have to actually do that.
You know what I mean?
And so I think it's a thing where it's like Killian,
he sort of walks between both worlds.
There is the thing, Timberlake's like,
you fucking grew up in District 12,
didn't you?
You know what this is like.
So like he does have that, but it's also like,
but again, I'm with the fucking fascist.
I'm a big important guy and I don't have to do that.
And it turns out he does have to look at his one.
The per diem, you like, you do have to get the per diem of moron.
Yeah, he subsists on a per diem of two days at a time.
at a time or whatever.
So they, like, are keeping him.
What it should be is Killian turning on this organization as well.
And we're all taken down the main thing.
Now we're doing it.
That seemed in play for a long time.
Like, I respect that he's so damn good.
Right.
It would make sense, honestly.
Especially after the nicety of giving him time.
Yeah.
I do like the moment where he's walking out of the district and all these people are like hissing at him.
Yeah.
Hey, timekeeper, you get fucking lost.
Yeah.
And he's just like bleeding.
walking out miserably
to his brethren can come pick him up
in the car or whatever.
People should be out there
with hammers hitting him in the head.
Like, why not?
Sounds a good idea to me.
They're being awfully aggressive at him.
Did you not see?
They were yelling at him.
Nasty.
Yeah.
Getting nasty on the phone.
So, whatever.
So they realize,
oh, we've stolen a cop car.
Timberlake has the nice line.
Let's make an arrest.
They pull over a rich person's limousine
and fucking get this lady out of the car
and fucking take most of her time
take her earrings off too
and she's like you've only given me a day
and he goes you can do a lot in a day
well I guess because all the rich rich people have their time
in different places they
they're storing it in safe deposit
boxes and whatnot like you don't have it all
in a checking account
you have it everywhere
exactly I would have given her one second
my Cayman Island clocks
that I have yep yeah exactly
So then this is now we're officially in the sagginess
When they like get out on the run right here
This is like we're kind of just having repeated conversations
Again she talks about like
Is this the life I want being fucking bored and rich all the time
Do I really want to sit around and not die by not making a mistake?
She says until they invent bank robbery
That's the most exciting way
Why don't we have sex?
No
Why don't we have sex?
Oh why don't we have sex?
But it's very it's very chaste
It's right here because they're sitting in the limo.
He pulls over somewhere and they're like talking about what to do.
And then they start like making out hardcore.
And I was like, if this limo is a rocket, do not come in.
We got to, no, I'm only spending five minutes on this.
Get going.
Take your pan of ears off.
You'll definitely last fewer than five minutes.
You know what I mean?
Like that would be the opposite in this world.
Well, he even says at some point, like, how do you guys get anything done in this world?
And with this little short times, we don't sleep in much.
Yeah, we don't sleep in much.
That's like a Bruce Willisie line.
No, it totally is.
Yeah.
That is not,
it's a,
we don't sleep in much,
actually.
He don't worry about it.
His voice is the real problem.
You're right.
Now you're,
if someone else was in this role,
oh my God.
Maybe it would sell it for me,
you know,
if you had a Bruce Willis type of figure.
You need a gruff hard apple kind of guy.
And this is,
it's my dick in the box.
Yes.
Which is,
he's not an untalented guy,
but isn't that the voice of an action hero.
No.
It's just kind of not.
But so,
Carthizer and Killian get together here
and Carthyser's getting
shit from, there's this vague phone
call where some other woman is like
your zone is collapsing
and I was like, so
is he the ruler of this land
now? All of a sudden, it's his zone?
Andrew wouldn't explain that
ruin the whole movie for you if you explained
anything or would that suck? No, but
you're the grit, like the nitty gritty, big ideas.
No, tell me what this guy's job is.
Yes, a fucking course. That'd be nice.
Come on.
That'd be very fucking nice.
But no, you don't get that.
And he basically says,
Killian's like,
look, here's the deal.
She fucking shot me,
you see.
So I've issued a warrant
for her arrest.
And don't try to fucking stop me.
And then he's like,
I'll give you some more time.
Carthizer tries to bribe him right here.
And he's like,
I'm going to arrest your daughter,
is the idea.
And what he says,
there's not enough time in the world
for him to take that bribe.
And I was like,
okay, so by the end of this,
you're having him say stuff
like this now so that they ended the movie
he can join
in JT and Amanda Safeord's
quest to bring down whatever
Or not. Nope, it doesn't happen
We cut to a woman
trying to get a time loan the guy's like
Oh yeah it's gonna be 40% interest this day
And then they just crash a big
truck into it and this is another
robbery this is their first big
like body and Clyde moment and they're like hey
take all these weirdo
They look like I don't even know what external hard drives
kind of a thing
They look like external hard drives.
They also look like the things that you put in your freezer and then you put them under your eyes to get the swelling down.
They also look like those devices a little bit.
You know,
or something that's like freeze and put on your head to reduce a headache pain.
And they're all loaded with all this wizard time that they have.
Right.
And they start giving that wizard time to the standards by.
Oh, yes.
Take a month, take a year, do what you want.
And then when the cops show up, like Echalien Murphy and all them,
he tells like people, all right, get out of here before I confess.
every last second or whatever
and they just stand there
stoically watching
what is this movie
it's nickel it's so wooden
no even an investigation like
oh I could see this tire mark
you know something about
I have a police work of any kind of
yes here's the problem is that kind of stuff
like this movie I feel should have been
from the point of view of the timekeepers
sure absolutely but then it's like
but Andrew Nichols not going to make a movie like that
So the guy who in a timekeeper's movie would be considered the bad guy is actually like the hero in this world.
Because like the police are definitely not the heroes of this world.
But like I would kind of be more interested in a fucking timekeeper's movie.
And they're chasing people who are indeed on the run stealing time.
You could still do the thing where he turns on Mayor McClough at the end.
Dude, Mayor McClark going into his fucking fifth term.
I can't even believe it.
You could still make an interesting movie out of just focusing on.
And even police work in Gattaca, you got Alan Arkin running around, like, doing detective work in that movie with that boring dude who winds up being his brother.
Oh, yeah.
That guy's, um, oh, fuck.
He's in, like, enemy of the state and other stuff.
I can't think of, damn it.
Yeah, whatever, it doesn't matter.
Again, Killian line here, doesn't he understand he's hurting the people he's trying to help?
I was like, but, okay, I guess so, but how?
Yeah.
What is the system that you are trying to protect aside from just like, you know, again, like, and I get it.
Like, that's what cops do. They prop up capitalism and they keep everybody down and all that stuff.
You can't give poor people money because they wouldn't know what to do with it.
Uh-huh.
That's true.
That's right.
But cops get endless power, violence, a lot of benefits of doing that.
Why am I not seeing any of that?
Yes, exactly.
Why does he get from this other than like, he says it one time, I've been doing this for 50 years and I will not have my life me nothing.
I'm like, buddy, let me tell you something.
Yeah.
It's nothing.
Doesn't matter what you do.
It does not matter.
Unless we get like, and I know,
God forbid we have any interpersonal life of any of these people.
Like if we go back to Killian's,
Pat,
maybe show what he's fighting for.
Maybe he does have a nice home life.
But I understand no one does.
And everything's awful and everyone wants to live forever for some fucking reason.
Yeah, like a nice wife and a kid little baby or something.
Sure.
Like that kind of thing.
Yeah.
He's saving up like, oh, this is my,
oh, my time pension.
I'm going to pass this off to my daughter.
once she hits 25.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to retire in a time, Florida or whatever you do.
That's a time share.
Oh, yes.
That's a time share.
That's what is.
Finally.
Oh, no, time share is illegal.
That's communism, dude.
That's fucking, that's social.
It's true.
You can be sharing time.
But like your life mattered, like, then you're religious or something.
Like anything.
No religion in this movie.
No, no, no.
Except for the wizard that gives you time.
It's right.
The almighty clock.
Bruce, the time wizard.
So we get a quick thing. Carthizer's watching some TV and six now.
We don't see any of this, but six of his time banks have been robbed at this point.
Which that calls for a montage.
That's a quick fix there, a little montage action.
That sounds fun, actually.
Oh, can't be doing that.
So the wife is like, well, you know, it's perfectly understandable why she's doing this.
You suffocate her.
You suffocate all of us.
And I'm like, which one are you?
Like, you know what I mean?
I need to see like this lady
She says that right
And then it's like oh
Come here Lawrence
And like a butler comes over
And he turns his arm out
And like she gives him all but like 10 seconds
That closes her bedroom door
Oh dude time suicide
Yeah totally
Timing out my wife timed herself out
I'm humiliated that kind of deal
Wonderful
Something in this world for that
So then we get
We're back in another motel room here
We're doing some strip poker, which we don't see again.
We say strip poker, but like, you know, it's not like she loses a hand and takes a bit of clothing off.
It's all there.
You're not going to get a titty in this movie.
Why not?
Because it's this PG-13 rated fucking sci-fi movie.
Why make the scene?
I don't know, man.
Some guys get off on bras, Eric.
Maybe she just didn't want to have her fucking titties out in the movie, man.
You're going to take yours out in the movie?
I will.
I will. Call me Andrew
Nickle for your next fucking disaster.
Well, it's Lords of Wars, Eric.
If you want to play a dealer.
I play dealer in Lords of War.
It's been a pretty cool deal.
But yeah, they don't really get that far into this scene
because there's just a fucking break-in that happens.
And Killian's dudes jump in.
And then there's this weird, like,
they won't jump out of the window eight feet
like onto the car and it's like so are they scared
is this how far the scaredy catnus goes? It's a great question
we're scared to jump like seven feet onto a car because we might twist an ankle
but only Killian will do it and like that's what makes him the super cop that can't be stopped
until he's stopped very soon after this pretty quickly
you had to wind that watch dude he just forgot once again
I will say nice little captured rooftop chase here between the two of them running
and Killian chasing after them not not too bad but then
Wouldn't you know it?
We get fucking busted in that hotel.
We go to a nicer hotel, you see.
All the fucking going to hotels and running.
We're renting out the entire hotel is the idea.
Which is a terrible idea.
It's a great way to draw attention to yours.
Yeah, sure is.
It's so stupid.
How about a wig?
Like, you know what I mean?
A fake mustache.
She's got this red bob through this whole movie.
IRL, yes.
But like in the movie, that's her hair.
And it's like, you're in all these motifs.
hotel room bathrooms, one of them
there's the fucking bottle die job happening
and you're changing her appearance or whatever.
That'd be fun if they did like a fugitive type of angle
at any time to try to evade the authority.
They get rid of her beard.
Yeah.
Sleep with some Polish woman's attic with her
time dealing son, I guess.
No, don't think my son.
He's not deal time. He's good boy.
He never deal time like that.
No, no, I even know.
Your son's dealing time to 14-year-olds.
Sick, son of a bitch.
I guess also in this world you would have to,
all food would be microwaved because you don't have time to cook it, right?
That's right.
You wouldn't, you wouldn't.
Yeah.
Yeah, a lot of instant noodles.
Yeah.
All that shit.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Those White Castle burgers you could buy yikes.
I looked at your son's chart here.
Oh, yeah.
He's got his months all messed up in his stomach right now.
Hey, how did he know that?
Get him.
You switched the watches, didn't you?
You switched the watches.
Time Vassick
So yeah
They bribed this bus driver
Not the same bus driver
That's responsible for his mother's death
But it should have been
But yeah
They get on this bus
And escape
And it's like Killian just kind of
Like more running after a bus
And that just sort of ends
But while they have rented out
That hotel room
They get to this hotel after the bus thing
They ran out this hotel room
There's a fella right behind him
You see who wants a room
And then this lady
is like covering up her timer sleeve
to not show like the bribe that she just took
and she's like we're all full up I guess
and the guy's like clocked it like he sees them running up
like scurrying up the stairs too and he's like I see what's going on
where are the Minutemen I must find them oh they got me
they get him immediately and the Minuteman would be cooler
if they were more like Alex and his droogs kind of ultraviolence
and also Alex pedophore is just a plank of wood in this movie
I don't know, I haven't seen a ton of this guy
I can't say one or another, but like,
especially him, he's very wooden in this movie.
Like, I am going to take all the time now.
At least he was dressed like Alex and his droogies,
they would add texture and a world to this.
Style.
It's just killing for pleasure, you know what I mean?
Something like that.
That'd be a beautiful thing to see.
But he's like, I'm going to take,
I'm going to clean all your clocks, he says,
to this line of guys until somebody tells me where they are.
Isn't that fun?
also Alex Pedder for a good
and Magic Mike he's good at
How is there not like a scene where someone says like
You forgot about daylight savings time and punches
them in a trailer moment
You gotta set your time
Clock ahead
Yeah exactly
Spring forward
Yeah spring forward or fall back when he
Oh fall back would be good
Yeah totally
Splat
Fall back
See but that's again
You need a Keanu or whatever
Fall back
Like it doesn't give you that
No.
That you want from an action character is the idea.
So, yeah, Alex Pettifers got a fucking line up of dudes, I guess.
This one fella's like, hey man, I didn't have anything to do with it.
And that guy just gets drained to nothing.
Stupid hat kills him.
Stupid hat does kill him, you're right.
Stupid hat's the most dangerous man in District 12 or second most dangerous.
Do you think, because I'm thinking now of all like the pin the striped suits and hats and dumb shit that these guys are on.
Are they the squirrel nut zippers?
I don't think so.
Dude, what the fuck?
You just.
Yes.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
I was going to ask you.
When I watch this movie, I'm in hell tonight.
I'll tell you that.
No other scobber.
I was going right.
I wasn't doing Cherry Pop and Daddy's.
I wasn't doing the Brian Sensor Orchestra.
I was going right to the fucking squirrel.
That's difference.
And you read my thoughts.
Excellent.
We got an Andrew Nicol movie on our hands here.
Mind cop.
So stupid.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
So the one guy who spied them sort of admits what's going on.
And then he says something about like, oh, I want to share.
I just want to share of the
because there's a
a $1,000
or a thousand year
reward or whatever
and he's like oh yeah sure
yeah right this way
do we see them killing this guy?
No but he says you'll get your reward
and he's obviously going to drain the shit out of this stuff
he's very like Jafar in that moment
oh you're a turn to the reward
yeah
I just want to see more dudes get the life force
sucked out of him though man
or even just shot in the fucking head
I'd even want your dirty ass minutes
So he just shoots him in the face.
You're 30 minutes.
So, yeah, the goons barge into the fucking hotel room again.
Or maybe he starts draining.
He says, what the fuck?
What's going?
Oh, my God.
It's military time.
He just explodes.
Like a ready or not just human explosion happens.
That'd be fun?
Military time.
Wait a minute.
1,700 hours.
No!
Why didn't you tell me you changed it?
They told you this morning.
Yeah, this dude just pops like a grape.
That would be awesome.
But yes, we bring it to another hotel room.
And this is finally, he's like, oh, I'm not going to kill you.
I'm not going to drain you.
I wanted to be a fair fight takes off this jacket.
I was like, they're going to fucking box.
Oh, I can't believe this.
They're going to box one another.
Then he sits down at the table for some fucking time arm wrestling.
Sure.
This part sucks.
It's so stupid.
And it's like, the thing
Timberlake's dad, who doesn't matter,
his big trick is like,
when someone's about to kill you,
they will then start looking at your time
because they're so confident.
That's what you turn it over and you do it to them.
And it works.
And he does the thing that 40 minutes earlier in the movie
he told us the father did,
and you're like, well, what a surprise.
And he's also just excellent at shooting guns
and just shoots all three of these dudes
who have guns drawn on them in second.
When did he have, he has this fucking piece
on his ankle that's never been
referenced before? I mean, can they go to the
gun range in the ghetto? Or like,
is he been training? Does, like,
this is some James Bond shit
though. This is some Jason born,
like he grabs this gun, pop, pop, pop, gets
the dude in the chin. John Wickian
even. Very much so. And
he kills Ray Santiago
from Ashres. Ray Santiago, that's the
dude from Ashby. Here's a twist.
He could be his own father.
and he had his mind
fucked up
right?
Because you're always 25
Sure
No I did
And you wanted to fuck your mother anyway
Yeah that's why you were always
Like handsy with her
I mean I would prefer a
Huh?
At the end of a movie
Every time
What if he
What if he kills all these guys
And it's like
Oh fuck he gets this awakening
This muscle memory
He is his father
Oh yeah
I am my own grandpa
Yes
Another interesting twist
unfortunately the script is void of
saying, no, arm wrestling, deadly arm wrestling.
There's a fun bit in the middle of the movie where
Amanda Seafrid is too cavalier with her gun and keeps shooting it
because Amanda Seafrid is very funny, you know, she can do comedy very well,
like she's trying her best and like that's just, you know,
and then he shows her how to shoot a gun.
So again, somewhere he learned how to shoot a gun.
Yeah, we don't know and we don't want to know.
But yeah, this is, Killing.
has what you again
think is some sort of like resignation
from this job because there's the
younger fella who's kind of like his number
two who's kind of like more
by the book than he is and he's
like look I gave 50 years
of my life to this job you know
why don't you go fuck off or whatever and then
this is did
Timberlake and Seyfried
lay out all these dead bodies
in the street why are they the bodies
leave the hotel room pedophers game
and they're just laid out on the
sidewalk. One dude's still bleeding. There's a pile of blood. That's what I had a question. I'm like, well, where are, like, where are the forensic artists? Where's all the, like, all the Michael Mann stuff. Give me the Michael Man stuff where they're all like the police people doing the work. And where does a Chicago accent? Oh, yeah, right? Almost out of time there. One. Just one. Give me George went there even. I got time for one more dog. We'll get some time dogs going. So it's something, something, you know, oh, you know what? All this we've been doing.
it's all for naught because when you really think about it,
it would take a million years to bring them down.
And then it's like, say, I know who's got a million years.
We've got to fucking go into Dad's office.
Raid on Vincent Carthyser's house.
Hello, Daddy.
She shows up in the office lobby there and she's got a gun.
It is hilarious watching Vincent Carthizer walk into work
with like 20 dudes surrounding him.
Right, these like Agent Smith Matrix guys
said are the guards.
And then, you know, honestly, fun little moment with Timberlake disguising himself as one of
them and getting the upper hand.
I like this.
Yeah.
And he's got this gun to Carthais's head and he's like, let's go for a ride.
I was like, can a ride start at any point?
Let's go.
Any time now.
But the whole motto here of the end of the movie is, is it stealing if it's already
something that's stolen?
Think about it.
She's like, well, I know that the combination is at my birth.
It's got to be Darwin.
you love Darwin so much.
God,
the only thing we
kill me.
So he's set up the system
why don't we say that, right?
Why isn't he the guy that's set up all of this?
Oh, dude, fucking old, gnarled Charles
Darwin from beyond the grave.
He's the wizard?
Oh, no.
No, Pete Campbell.
He could be a thousand years old and looked 30
and set up the system.
Because why does he love Darwin?
Why does he love the system this much?
Yeah.
We don't even talk about anything else
other than it's just Darwin.
Yeah.
So much so that, like, yeah, she's got Darwin's birthday up in her noodle ready to go.
She knows that fucking date.
Okay.
You got to go to Darwin class before your clock starts.
Well, what?
They get up there and they force him, they open the Darwin code, gets the birthday opens the vault,
and they get the million, the little thing with the million fucking.
The hard drive.
Couldn't it be gold.
I've been looking at the silver ones, the whole movie.
It should be a specialty thing.
It's black, it's bigger, or something, it's the size of a suitcase, like something that at least like,
Oh, I've, at least, the movie has progressed
because a million, it doesn't matter to me.
Tell me that this is a special object.
Yes.
And the way you do that is change the color.
Visually.
You have to do it visually.
And why?
Just take the thing, put him in the vault,
close the vault, and leave.
He does kind of get Diane Keaton at the end of the godfather right here.
Because like they just close the door on him of the office.
And you just see, it's like a similar like door sliding across the frame.
And then they, I think, shoot it.
So he's like kind of locked in his office, I guess.
I would, I would let Amanda Cefree go ahead and I'd be like,
you're going to the fucking vault.
And I'd fucking, fucking, nobody's going to get to get the Darwin after I got her.
So they're going to escape the zone here.
And I guess we're to believe Justin Timberlake is driving a bulletproof car
because these dudes with these machine guns are laying waste to this car as it approaches the American.
He's James Bond now, you know.
It's crazy.
And like, they drive right through it, which is kind of a nice stunt here.
But I was like, these are machines.
machine guns and this car, you see this car taking heavy fire and like not a single window
breaks, a mirror doesn't fall off.
And the first time it takes from District 11 all the way to District 1, which we assume is
New Greenwich or whatever that, it takes a long fucking time.
And also I guess there's no, is there no toll going back?
You know what I mean?
Like, wouldn't you get, don't they fuck you both ways or not?
I guess.
Well, I mean, like, you know, like on the George Washington, you know, you only pay when
you're coming into the city.
I see on the way out.
Okay, so that's it's same with the tunnels.
That's fair.
Okay.
So you're saying I can go straight from New York.
Greenwich to the ghetto and pay nothing.
But if I wanted to go back to
New Greenwich, I would have to pay years
of my life. A year and change, yeah. That's how they get you,
Eric, every time. Nicola dimed.
Gray 11 districts we're not going to
talk about that we can zip on through.
Speaking of that, though, like, are we
just driving everywhere? Could you like take
a helicopter and skip those tolls?
Well, no, not these people. They're too afraid to go
to helicopter. Oh, actually, that's true. You're right.
As am I.
Finally, a fucking society where rich people
stop flying private.
Fuck yeah, let's do it.
But they get all the way there.
They're going to give the money to the time mission.
Yeah, they give the drive to the little girl who starts like divvying it up or whatever.
Out of a million, all the work I've done, can I take like 10 years just to have on me just to make sure?
Just a little something.
It's a million fucking years, folks.
Don't make a, you know, don't make it a parade out of it.
Just do it quick.
And then give it to the point.
priest and the little girl and be done with it.
I got a coffee break left. Like, I need more
than that. Yeah.
They allude
Killian in this way. He teabones them.
They allude him when like, yeah, the guy's like,
time's on. Got a bunch of free time here. And then all these
people like start walking towards it so they lose him the crowd.
Yes. And he can't get through the crowd. And it's like,
my man, you got a gun. Shoot it in the air. I've seen this done
a thousand times. And we got our final
big chase to whatever border they're going to. Yeah. I don't
understand where they're trying to get to at the end of this.
Because they keep saying like, oh,
it's right over there. And I was like,
what, the command center where the fucking
big apparatus is that you're going to destroy? Is it that?
Or is there some underground that you're joining
that could be part of? Is Dennis Leary around?
Yes. Join the, whatever his rebellion was.
Would you like some fried rat? Here's a fried rat.
That'd be great. The underworld. And that'd be funny.
Like, it would be underground and all those people
like figure out a way to survive after it's timed
out or they like manually untimed out. Like hacking it. And then they're like the living,
they're regular people, but they're dead to the system and they're living underground. It's
very good. And you just age normally. Yeah, totally. Just some old ladies like, I remember
when a cup of coffee cost a minute. Now it's seven. And then Justin Timber likes,
Dear God, what is that fucking thing? I've never seen an old person before.
Pretty attractive Lois Smith. And she's like, what? I didn't do it. Okay. What the fuck is that?
Kill it, kill it, kill it.
Killian Murphy was right.
This is disgusting.
I'm going to become a time keeper fuck this.
Paul G. Man is like, say, I'm 51 years old.
No!
Fuck!
Shut it's on fire!
But yeah, so they,
Killian's chasing him to the border or whatever.
This is the part where Timberlake just deduces like,
oh, you're originally from Zone 12 too, aren't you?
All right, that's...
Speaking of the clock ticking,
we got three minutes left of this movie
that will not be explored at all.
A leftover from the draft where he is
his father, Chris.
Maybe.
Probably.
That would be great.
Murphy's driving around before
they get out of their cars
to do more running,
which is so exciting.
This running is great.
He's just like, oh, give me my time.
And he's like, no, forget it.
I see them.
I'm like, no, you need your time
because that's all anything matters.
The re-up takes two seconds, you see.
You can still drive.
You can drive and do.
Exactly, dude.
Like, I guess it's hubris,
which is a vice he's never exhibited,
before ever. You know, he's a nerdy cop. He's like, oh, 10 and 2, 10 and 2. I can't,
I can't time and drive. And it's just, yeah, he realizes that the last second he looks and it's like
five seconds left on his clock and he just drops dead. Again, you know, if he exploded,
it would be something. Oh, yeah. It would be great. I mean, the whole like, the blipping,
it's kind of, it's still fun seeing him fall down. Sure. I mean, it's just one of those things where
I didn't look up how much money he had to make this movie, but it just seems to me like that's
part of this. It was a check. It's like, yeah, you just kind of pretend you're having a little electric
shock and then you fall down. Got it. Okay. Then they're running to the car, or to his car.
They're going to run to their car because it's time and that. But then they're like, oh, no, we go to his car.
It's quicker. Is that how that works? They're going to run to their, they're going to run to the place.
Oh, right. Yes. The place. He's like, if I give you my time, you'll be able to run to the place.
And she's like, no, you're a faster runner. I'll give you my time. And you can run to the place.
Whatever this vague place is, I totally miss this. But then.
JT realizes like oh actually
he's got the little re-up machine in the car
let's run to that and I'll get and so that's
what he does but I feel like in this instance
there has to be technology that's like
or just the person on the radio is like well you're not killing
exactly like some dude asking for time
it makes us that doesn't really make any sense
it's such a flub it should be like
who is this I'm his new partner I don't know give me my time
or you could if I put in the authorization code that I took from his wallet
or whatever. Totally. Then there's like an auto
an emergency re-up or something.
Or he's got a fucking canister in the trunk.
What's the password?
Darwin? Oh, okay. There you go.
The only thing I remember.
Very interesting. Justin Timberlake couldn't make it
when it was his mother, a woman he shouldn't have sex with.
But when he has a woman, he can't have sex with.
A little more pepping that stuff.
Really, really, he goes for it. He's got a foot.
If he had realized he was his own father, he could have had them all.
He could have had both of them.
Damn.
And then at the end, we're looking at the big map and all the red is happening.
And I'm like, yeah, the system's heading for collapse, we're told.
What does the red mean?
Explain to me, what, is that blood or what?
The whole problem that's happening in the ghetto, you understand, is that no one's going to the factory jobs anymore.
Right.
And the system's breaking down, which the movie is proving to us that a general strike could work.
That's true.
Absolutely.
Let's get going.
The one black character in the movie is this other cop who says everyone could just go home.
This is one of those, like, it's a poorly done, like this dude's turning in his, it's like, you know, this is all over.
He should say something about like, well, we're all out of a job now or something like that.
Everyone go home just sounds like we're calling it sick for the day.
Yeah, exactly.
You know what, we'll regroup tomorrow see if we can get this situation or this full collapse under control.
I need a Bradley Whitford or somebody to be the captain.
chief that's like, no, no, you can't do that.
Exactly. Get back here. Don't you know who you're messing with?
Even Schiff.
Either or. Yeah, totally.
Richard Schiff would again make somebody vomiting this year.
He's like 60 years old. He's disgusting.
Bradley Wifford's got the youth thing. You're right.
No, both of them would be like, what the fuck is that shit?
Oh, it's just a little forehead. Let the man be.
It's a lot of forehead.
So the reward we see is up to a hundred years.
for the two of them now
and they just continue their
Bonnie and Clyde routine
and she's got this line,
see, I told you there was bigger banks
and it is just the biggest building in the world.
It's the biggest.
I just wrote just this huge building
biggest bank in the world, question mark.
You know what's cooler than a million years is a billion years.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, shit, dude.
But that is the end of in time.
The movie ran out of time,
announced that the credits are on.
We'll go around the horn here for some final thoughts.
Mr. Siska.
It is under.
baked it's a half of an idea there's something to it but i i wish we got there in any avenue you could
have gone in it is just like i think chris you said that this was like a tv kind of maybe as a tv show
i could see the running to build the world like you have a world there to build and a tv show
allows you to do more of that in a movie unless you're going to do just a good cheap sci-fi movie
it's not enough time you would have the time yeah it's a tv show
There you go.
This just didn't work for me.
I'm honestly disappointed.
Not that I was excited to rewatch this thing.
But Andrew Nicol, I liked Gattaca.
I like some of his work.
It's just unfortunate.
I feel like he bit off way more than he could chew.
Oh, yeah.
Chris Cabin.
I mean, I agree with everything Eric said.
I mean, yeah, I just kind of was sitting there waiting.
Like, it kind of got worse as it go along because I keep on thinking more things pile up of like, well, wait, why didn't you, what are you doing?
Wait, that doesn't make it.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
But yeah, I really, Andrew
Nichol is, again,
I think his writing on the Truman Show, and I think
he was a producer too, possibly.
Like, that is his greatest work, and he should really
be proud of that.
Gattaca's fun enough, but
the rest of it, I've just kind of been like shrugging
my shoulder. Although I will say, Lord of War,
it is worth seeing, if you're
like, but yeah, that's, I'm
saying what Eric said. There you go. Steve
Sadek. Yeah, no, thank you. It's
a movie that you just kind of keep,
every time you think about it, you're like, but why didn't
But if that was just, is it even like even eight weeks for a dinner?
Like is that a lot?
Is that a little?
Like what is a week?
What is it?
Give me.
So anyway, it's very frustrating to me to watch to sit through this nonsense.
I think it's very underbaked.
I think that like, you know, again, like income inequality is a great place to base sci-fi and like try and, you know, educate the masses through media.
It's a great idea.
And like, you know, like a general strike.
Like Eric said, like these kinds of things are cool if you could pull it off.
more often than not we can't.
And more often than not, it just,
you just sort of like turn into this
Nowhere'sville, which is what this movie is,
kind of a nowhere'sville. Yeah, I don't know.
I won't go as so far to say that it's a light recommend,
but I think there's, you know,
stuff about this I found watchable.
I don't think it's a good movie.
I mean, you guys were all two stars on Letterbox.
I'm two and a half.
Like, I'm not saying it's a fucking four-star affair.
I'm just saying.
I think I'm lowering it.
Well, for what it's worth after talking it through,
I'm not raising money.
or anything. But, you know, I just, I just found it was a, it was a fine watch. I think he's made
better movies. He's also made worse movies. So this is kind of just like in the middle.
And yes, to quote Paul Hollywood, underbaked. It's definitely an underbaked idea.
But that is going to do it, y'all, for this episode on In Time and with it, the conclusion of the
26 listener request month, which again, the hundreds and hundreds of emails and calls across
both this show and all the Patreon stuff.
Like every year, massive thanks to all of you all for participating.
Yes, thank you.
I think that this crop...
It was a good month, yeah.
This crop this year has produced some very fun episodes.
I feel in years past,
maybe we've not gotten as lucky all around with listener requests months.
A lot of meat in this gym mats.
A lot of meat.
The hat, give it and the hat, take it the way.
That's how that works.
That's exactly right.
But yes, too, just recap a little bit.
And if you want more of these shows,
commercial free, of course, head over to the Patreon,
Patreon.com slash We8 Movies where, yes,
this month was also inundated
with some listener requested activity.
We started everything off with a We Love Movies episode
all about clerks. That was a ton of fun.
Hell yeah.
We did release a Melrose 2 and O that had nothing to do with listener requests.
Oh, two Melrose placed episodes into a big 90-minute affair.
Yeah, jam it together.
We're finally putting to bed,
hopefully for a little while, the baby kidnapping plot.
is finally, I just got done editing and sending off this episode.
It's so much fun.
Great, great episode.
And that same week, we did in our Patreon shop release our digital show on Friday the 13th,
the final chapter.
You can get that now in video form.
And when you get it in video form, you also get a MP3 of the audio of it as well,
so you can listen on the go.
But that's, you know, it's one of the best Friday movies.
We had a ton of fun on it.
There's a great whole thing where we're ripping on Siskel and Ebert's review of it.
Very fun there.
We had a listener requested.
animation damnation that had us outside of our comfort zone a little bit.
Delicious in Dungeon, we finally watched it.
At the time of this recording, it's an interesting little show about
Eaton Monsters. We're just chewing them up.
Eaton monsters, yeah. Very video game-esque, very beautiful animation.
So we talked all about it. That's Scorpion Hot Pot. That's for sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Sputter on that guy. Speaking of monsters, we're covering one on the Gleap Glopsy,
10 Garnet, the Death Star Gunner, the Trigger Man on Alder
We talk about his life and his crimes on the Gleap Glouclery this month.
That's right.
And last week we also released a listener requested episode on the Nexus,
covering a DS9 from its season one and the TNG from its season five.
That was a lot of fun as well.
Oh, yeah.
But that is the end of listener request month.
But like always here on We Hate Movies, y'all,
the show rolls on Steve Sadek.
We're kicking off April with what?
We've got, oh my God, it's another theme month.
What?
A lot.
We are doing remake roll.
All remakes in April.
Do you say that again?
Remake roll.
Okay.
You're remaking it roll.
Yes, I get it.
Remake roll.
It sounds like a fish.
Yeah, not remaking a mackerel.
You're not doing that.
Some delicious in Dungeons episode remake roll.
It also sounds like, do not be pregnant while taking remake roll.
You know, a little bit of that.
Side effects include massive diarrhea.
But there will be massive diarrhea when we, when we, when we, when we, when we,
when we cover
Zach Snyder's
Dawn of the Dead.
Yes, that's right.
Still, to this day,
I think one of the best
Zach Snyder movies,
if not the...
It's been a long time
since I've ever visited this bad boy.
I have no idea.
I'm excited to get down
with the sickness again.
Oh, dude, get ready.
It's fucking coming in hot.
You're going to love the scene
that it's paired with too.
Oh, man.
So until next week,
with a zombie baby
and Richard Cheese
and lounging
Against the Machine. I've been Andrew Jupin.
Steven's say that. Eric Siska.
Chris Cabin. Take it easy.
