i realize i am uncharacteristically late to the John Wick 4 party you guys <3 Full operatic mode! whole-ass epic! oh and YES we are climbing the darkened stairway to heaven and when we get there hold on to your butts because we’re duelling under a SKY that looks like a goddamn Titian painting cannot love this series enoughi love this one SO much the color stories, the fact that they are mixing all these weapons in these fight sequences so harmoniously and still finding ways to catch my breath w the choreography or even just whimsical situational settings like the Arc De Triomphe traffic fight that shouldnt work but do! ughamazing so happy

N.B.: the shirt is fake, but there is an argument being made that the movies represent the five stages of grief, so there's gonna have to be one more...

I thought part five was reported as in development just a day or two ago ...

yup. I'm just extremely anti the bad and wrong "stages of grief" framework.

Stahelski and Reeves have not changed their position on another one, regardless of what the head of Lionsgate says while promoting spin-offs

getting very weary now of people tacking coherent narratives on top of this series, it’s *supposed* to be a big dumb wishlist of cool shit they wanted to see in an action movies & stahelski really hasn’t changed his statements to that effect over the years … overthinking it makes it so much lamer stages of grief lol FOH

It’s coherent in that Wick’s dedication to honour, rules and revenge only create death and misery around him (leading to his choice at the end of 4) — but this is explicitly the fundamental narrative engine of the series, not a dazzling revelation found only in masters-level analysis of hidden messages

I heard there might be shooting and kicking in part 5, but at this stage I think that's just a rumor.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 3 June 2023 00:09 (ten months ago) link
The five stages of kicking and shooting.
five stages of fucking your shit up

five stages of tactical fashion

Wait, this Finnish sort of WWII-set Wick movie came and went already?!

Watched SISU tonight - it’s totally OTT, gory as fuck, kinda funny, definitely fun.

I thought it was pretty slight. He's basically a superhero and there isn't enough impressive fighting technique or quality spectacle to make it feel substantial. Wish I hadn't bothered.

i’ve been down a Buster Keaton rabbithole lately & read a great interview w Chad Stahelski and critic Dana Stevens (author of Keaton bio “Camera Man”) about the silent film/Keaton parallels in John Wick https://slate.com/culture/2023/03/john-wick-4-keanu-reeves-buster-keaton.html

Some woman in the seat across from me on the airplane watched this twice in a row so, so did i. Worked without any sound obviously

the stairway scene with the falling definitely had its parallels
