Happy 30th Anniversary to Speed

I had to gif this moment of Sandra Bullock interrupting an interview with Keanu Reeves in 1994 because I've been obsessed with how cute it is since I saw it.

I love how the movie Speed includes what is essentially the same problem with the same solution two whole times. That being: 'we're about to run out of road/track and we can't stop -> go faster'. They know what the movie is about. They know what we came here to see.

I can't believe this absolute banger of a movie is 30 years old 😱

Incredibly flawed... but it's still such a good watch 🎥

AroAce at the Movies: Violent Night

I had an aroace moment while watching Violent Night with my parents.

The story opens with a divorced? separated? estranged couple and their daughter going to see dad's insanely rich family Christmas. Amidst all the other set up for the movie there's a scene where the daughter tells Santa that what she really wants for Christmas is for her parents to make up. And she's a cute little kid so right away you know the movie is going to end with the parents getting back together and giving things another go.

Now, I'm not inherently opposed to this happening, but to pull this off a movie needs to give me a good reason why a couple is getting back together that is not Well, it'll make our kid happy. No. If they were ready to call it quits despite the kid before, there needs to be a good reason why both parties believe that the thing causing tension in the relationship before won't be a problem anymore or will get better.

What's causing tension in this relationship you might ask. Well dad's rich family are all very terrible people and husband's kind-of a terrible person when he's around them. Wife wants him to cut ties with them and stop sucking up to his terrible mother in a vain attempt to be named heir over his terrible sister.

So surely, when the couple later starts making out in the snow surrounded by dead and battered home invaders, that concern has been at least partially addressed right?

No. Not even a little bit. The previous scene with this couple was a reveal that the husband had stolen 300 million dollars from his mother (who had stolen it from the US military) and had planned to leave the family mansion with his wife, daughter, and money in the middle of the night, leaving his mother a taunting note to unwrap in her present on Christmas morning. Needless to say, the wife was not pleased with this.

When I complained about this my parents told me Well, dangerous situations bring people together. They explain well it in Speed.

And I gotta say, I didn't buy that when they did it in Speed either. Is this just a thing that danger charges people up? I would think that immediately after surviving a terrorist attack or a home invasion hooking up with the other people who have just been traumatized would be the last thing on my mind. In fact that seems like the worst possible moment to start a new relationship. Is this a real thing or something the allos made up for the movies? I understand feeling close to someone after a shared experience but why would shared trauma automatically translate into romantic/sexual feelings?

I just watched Speed for the first time and I just need to say:

I hate being called ma'am but I really think I could get used to it if it were Keanu Reeves calling me that

Since we all love Keanu Reeves, I wanted to share the New Years Eve drinking game my friends and I came up with. We've been doing it for 10 years.

You watch the movie Speed and drink whenever they say "Bomb," "bus," and "Jack." (We used to also drink when they said "50" but it was too much. Do so at your own peril).

You toast "To Jack, for shooting Harry!"

Take a shot at "Pop quiz, hotshot."

You WILL get absolutely hammered! ABSOLUTELY hammered. You have no idea how often they say "bus" in this movie until you try drinking to it.

I started the year with a classic.

Movie completely holds up. Full 90s action cheese. How did die hard on a bus end of working out so well? Clothes were on pointe. And I want to make out with both Keanu and Sandy. Recommend.

Favorite trivia: The film literally ran out of money before it was completed. When the film was first previewed for an audience, the subway scenes were animated storyboards. The audience loved them so much, the studio came up with the funds to shoot the scenes properly.

All out of 10:

👏: 10

🧀: 7
