Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:13 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.
Starting point is 00:00:54 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.
Starting point is 00:01:16 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.
Starting point is 00:01:30 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.
Starting point is 00:01:42 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.
Starting point is 00:01:52 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.
Starting point is 00:02:09 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
Starting point is 00:02:24 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?
Starting point is 00:02:40 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.
Starting point is 00:02:53 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.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Oh, I see. KISS. Yep, yeah, that's how it starts. That's how it starts. ER Kissinger.
Starting point is 00:03:16 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,
Starting point is 00:03:22 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.
Starting point is 00:03:33 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.
Starting point is 00:03:46 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.
Starting point is 00:03:59 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
Starting point is 00:04:16 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.
Starting point is 00:04:28 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.
Starting point is 00:04:50 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
Starting point is 00:05:08 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?
Starting point is 00:05:28 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
Starting point is 00:05:56 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
Starting point is 00:06:16 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
Starting point is 00:06:48 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
Starting point is 00:07:28 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,
Starting point is 00:07:56 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?
Starting point is 00:08:20 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.
Starting point is 00:08:38 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
Starting point is 00:09:16 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.
Starting point is 00:09:31 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,
Starting point is 00:09:42 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:07 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.
Starting point is 00:10:22 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.
Starting point is 00:10:45 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.
Starting point is 00:11:11 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.
Starting point is 00:11:24 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.
Starting point is 00:11:41 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,
Starting point is 00:11:51 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,
Starting point is 00:12:02 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,
Starting point is 00:12:15 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.
Starting point is 00:12:28 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.
Starting point is 00:12:45 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.
Starting point is 00:13:22 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.
Starting point is 00:13:52 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.
Starting point is 00:14:08 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
Starting point is 00:14:20 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.
Starting point is 00:14:37 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
Starting point is 00:15:17 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
Starting point is 00:15:34 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
Starting point is 00:15:51 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
Starting point is 00:16:07 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.
Starting point is 00:16:24 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?
Starting point is 00:16:40 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.
Starting point is 00:16:57 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,
Starting point is 00:17:15 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
Starting point is 00:17:31 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
Starting point is 00:17:46 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.
Starting point is 00:18:02 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.
Starting point is 00:18:32 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.
Starting point is 00:18:48 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.
Starting point is 00:18:57 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,
Starting point is 00:19:09 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
Starting point is 00:19:21 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.
Starting point is 00:19:39 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.
Starting point is 00:19:55 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.
Starting point is 00:20:09 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.
Starting point is 00:20:27 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.
Starting point is 00:20:39 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.
Starting point is 00:20:59 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?
Starting point is 00:21:23 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,
Starting point is 00:21:43 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,
Starting point is 00:22:02 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
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:31 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.
Starting point is 00:22:46 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.
Starting point is 00:23:11 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.
Starting point is 00:23:33 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
Starting point is 00:23:51 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
Starting point is 00:24:04 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.
Starting point is 00:24:44 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.
Starting point is 00:25:01 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.
Starting point is 00:25:23 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.
Starting point is 00:25:37 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.
Starting point is 00:26:12 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,
Starting point is 00:26:26 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,
Starting point is 00:26:38 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.
Starting point is 00:27:06 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.
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:49 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.
Starting point is 00:28:03 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.
Starting point is 00:28:15 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,
Starting point is 00:28:28 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.
Starting point is 00:28:40 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
Starting point is 00:28:54 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?
Starting point is 00:29:13 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.
Starting point is 00:29:30 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?
Starting point is 00:29:47 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,
Starting point is 00:30:03 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
Starting point is 00:30:29 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...
Starting point is 00:30:44 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?
Starting point is 00:31:01 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
Starting point is 00:31:19 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?
Starting point is 00:31:45 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.
Starting point is 00:32:01 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,
Starting point is 00:32:16 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
Starting point is 00:32:33 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.
Starting point is 00:32:48 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.
Starting point is 00:33:02 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,
Starting point is 00:33:20 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.
Starting point is 00:33:37 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.
Starting point is 00:34:06 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?
Starting point is 00:34:28 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?
Starting point is 00:34:53 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.
Starting point is 00:35:13 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.
Starting point is 00:35:37 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.
Starting point is 00:36:03 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...
Starting point is 00:36:13 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
Starting point is 00:36:51 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.
Starting point is 00:37:11 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.
Starting point is 00:37:23 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.
Starting point is 00:37:41 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.
Starting point is 00:37:57 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.
Starting point is 00:38:14 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.
Starting point is 00:38:32 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,
Starting point is 00:38:49 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.
Starting point is 00:39:05 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.
Starting point is 00:39:24 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,
Starting point is 00:39:36 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.
Starting point is 00:39:46 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.
Starting point is 00:39:55 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.
Starting point is 00:40:07 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.
Starting point is 00:40:22 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.
Starting point is 00:40:37 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.
Starting point is 00:40:50 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?
Starting point is 00:41:08 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.
Starting point is 00:41:20 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
Starting point is 00:41:35 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.
Starting point is 00:41:58 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.
Starting point is 00:42:28 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.
Starting point is 00:42:52 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
Starting point is 00:43:07 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.
Starting point is 00:43:19 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.
Starting point is 00:43:32 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,
Starting point is 00:43:46 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.
Starting point is 00:43:59 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
Starting point is 00:44:15 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.
Starting point is 00:44:31 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.
Starting point is 00:44:42 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.
Starting point is 00:44:54 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
Starting point is 00:45:09 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
Starting point is 00:45:28 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.
Starting point is 00:45:44 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
Starting point is 00:45:59 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.
Starting point is 00:46:15 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.
Starting point is 00:46:31 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.
Starting point is 00:46:42 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.
Starting point is 00:46:52 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?
Starting point is 00:47:05 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.
Starting point is 00:47:25 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
Starting point is 00:47:41 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.
Starting point is 00:48:05 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.
Starting point is 00:48:41 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
Starting point is 00:49:08 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.
Starting point is 00:49:34 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.
Starting point is 00:50:01 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.
Starting point is 00:50:19 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
Starting point is 00:50:47 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
Starting point is 00:51:09 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
Starting point is 00:51:25 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.
Starting point is 00:51:43 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.
Starting point is 00:51:56 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.
Starting point is 00:52:09 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,
Starting point is 00:52:22 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.
Starting point is 00:52:42 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?
Starting point is 00:53:42 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.
Starting point is 00:54:03 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.
Starting point is 00:54:23 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.
Starting point is 00:54:48 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
Starting point is 00:55:05 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.
Starting point is 00:55:22 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.
Starting point is 00:55:43 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
Starting point is 00:56:24 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
Starting point is 00:56:42 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.
Starting point is 00:56:59 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.
Starting point is 00:57:11 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.
Starting point is 00:57:26 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
Starting point is 00:57:57 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
Starting point is 00:58:16 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.
Starting point is 00:58:27 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.
Starting point is 00:58:43 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,
Starting point is 00:59:00 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.
Starting point is 00:59:16 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,
Starting point is 00:59:28 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,
Starting point is 00:59:37 time marshal. Watch out. Oh, sorry. Keeper. Timekeeper, yes, please. Carthizer invites him to his house. There's going to be another big game
Starting point is 00:59:47 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?
Starting point is 01:00:00 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.
Starting point is 01:00:15 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.
Starting point is 01:00:35 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.
Starting point is 01:00:59 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.
Starting point is 01:01:12 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.
Starting point is 01:01:28 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.
Starting point is 01:01:50 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
Starting point is 01:02:05 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
Starting point is 01:02:17 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
Starting point is 01:02:33 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.
Starting point is 01:02:51 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.
Starting point is 01:03:05 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
Starting point is 01:03:20 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
Starting point is 01:03:36 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.
Starting point is 01:03:51 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.
Starting point is 01:04:09 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.
Starting point is 01:04:21 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.
Starting point is 01:04:36 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.
Starting point is 01:04:45 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.
Starting point is 01:05:02 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.
Starting point is 01:05:21 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.
Starting point is 01:05:41 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,
Starting point is 01:05:58 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?
Starting point is 01:06:17 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.
Starting point is 01:06:32 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.
Starting point is 01:06:51 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,
Starting point is 01:07:07 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
Starting point is 01:07:21 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
Starting point is 01:07:37 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,
Starting point is 01:07:52 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,
Starting point is 01:08:03 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.
Starting point is 01:08:10 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
Starting point is 01:08:17 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.
Starting point is 01:08:31 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.
Starting point is 01:08:54 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.
Starting point is 01:09:14 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,
Starting point is 01:09:31 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.
Starting point is 01:09:41 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?
Starting point is 01:09:58 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.
Starting point is 01:10:10 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.
Starting point is 01:10:27 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.
Starting point is 01:10:45 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.
Starting point is 01:11:06 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
Starting point is 01:11:26 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.
Starting point is 01:12:04 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.
Starting point is 01:12:23 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.
Starting point is 01:12:41 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,
Starting point is 01:13:02 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
Starting point is 01:13:28 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.
Starting point is 01:14:00 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.
Starting point is 01:14:32 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.
Starting point is 01:14:48 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.
Starting point is 01:15:10 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.
Starting point is 01:15:21 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
Starting point is 01:15:44 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
Starting point is 01:16:00 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.
Starting point is 01:16:20 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.
Starting point is 01:16:38 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.
Starting point is 01:16:51 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.
Starting point is 01:17:11 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.
Starting point is 01:17:27 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
Starting point is 01:17:42 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.
Starting point is 01:17:54 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.
Starting point is 01:18:04 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
Starting point is 01:18:20 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
Starting point is 01:18:40 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?
Starting point is 01:19:00 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.
Starting point is 01:19:15 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.
Starting point is 01:19:33 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.
Starting point is 01:19:41 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,
Starting point is 01:19:48 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.
Starting point is 01:20:01 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
Starting point is 01:20:15 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.
Starting point is 01:20:33 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,
Starting point is 01:20:42 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,
Starting point is 01:20:54 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
Starting point is 01:21:04 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
Starting point is 01:21:21 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.
Starting point is 01:21:35 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.
Starting point is 01:21:54 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
Starting point is 01:22:13 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
Starting point is 01:22:30 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.
Starting point is 01:22:59 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?
Starting point is 01:23:25 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.
Starting point is 01:23:43 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.
Starting point is 01:24:01 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.
Starting point is 01:24:15 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.
Starting point is 01:24:29 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.
Starting point is 01:24:39 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.
Starting point is 01:24:51 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.
Starting point is 01:25:10 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?
Starting point is 01:25:28 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
Starting point is 01:25:43 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
Starting point is 01:25:58 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.
Starting point is 01:26:18 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.
Starting point is 01:26:38 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
Starting point is 01:26:59 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?
Starting point is 01:27:28 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.
Starting point is 01:27:43 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
Starting point is 01:27:58 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.
Starting point is 01:28:15 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?
Starting point is 01:28:34 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.
Starting point is 01:28:43 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
Starting point is 01:28:59 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
Starting point is 01:29:11 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
Starting point is 01:29:24 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
Starting point is 01:29:46 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,
Starting point is 01:30:08 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.
Starting point is 01:30:24 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
Starting point is 01:30:39 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
Starting point is 01:30:49 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.
Starting point is 01:31:08 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.
Starting point is 01:31:24 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.
Starting point is 01:31:37 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.
Starting point is 01:31:47 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
Starting point is 01:32:00 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
Starting point is 01:32:13 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.
Starting point is 01:32:33 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?
Starting point is 01:32:45 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.
Starting point is 01:33:00 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.
Starting point is 01:33:18 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
Starting point is 01:33:34 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
Starting point is 01:33:51 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,
Starting point is 01:34:07 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
Starting point is 01:34:23 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
Starting point is 01:34:32 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
Starting point is 01:34:42 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.
Starting point is 01:34:58 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.
Starting point is 01:35:21 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
Starting point is 01:35:37 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.
Starting point is 01:36:21 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
Starting point is 01:36:45 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.
Starting point is 01:37:04 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.
Starting point is 01:37:21 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
Starting point is 01:37:33 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?
Starting point is 01:37:46 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.
Starting point is 01:38:00 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,
Starting point is 01:38:20 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?
Starting point is 01:38:30 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,
Starting point is 01:38:55 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.
Starting point is 01:39:18 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?
Starting point is 01:39:41 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.
Starting point is 01:39:50 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
Starting point is 01:40:06 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.
Starting point is 01:40:21 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.
Starting point is 01:40:48 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
Starting point is 01:41:05 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,
Starting point is 01:41:25 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
Starting point is 01:41:44 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.
Starting point is 01:42:17 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,
Starting point is 01:42:36 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
Starting point is 01:42:52 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.
Starting point is 01:42:59 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.
Starting point is 01:43:10 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,
Starting point is 01:43:36 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.
Starting point is 01:44:12 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
Starting point is 01:44:34 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?
Starting point is 01:44:53 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.
Starting point is 01:45:13 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.
Starting point is 01:45:37 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.
Starting point is 01:46:07 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.
Starting point is 01:46:29 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
Starting point is 01:46:47 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.
Starting point is 01:47:03 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.
Starting point is 01:47:14 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.
Starting point is 01:47:48 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.
Starting point is 01:48:00 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.
Starting point is 01:48:22 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
Starting point is 01:48:38 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?
Starting point is 01:48:52 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.
Starting point is 01:49:16 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.
Starting point is 01:49:32 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
Starting point is 01:49:50 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...
Starting point is 01:50:20 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.
Starting point is 01:50:36 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
Starting point is 01:50:51 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.
Starting point is 01:51:14 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.
Starting point is 01:51:33 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.
Starting point is 01:51:53 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,
Starting point is 01:52:19 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.
Starting point is 01:52:38 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.
Starting point is 01:52:49 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.
Starting point is 01:53:03 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
Starting point is 01:53:16 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.
Starting point is 01:53:28 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
Starting point is 01:53:38 Against the Machine. I've been Andrew Jupin. Steven's say that. Eric Siska. Chris Cabin. Take it easy.
