Fast Forever should end with a young Dominic Toretto waking up surrounded by sweet wrappers and toy cars, revealing thay all that came before was just a very weird dream. And then young John Cena knocks on the door and asks his mum if they can put together a team.
Nash@radiodeadair.com · 2w agoWow, this is the funniest parody trailer I've seen in years. Really sends up the absurdity of adaptations and licensing. ... I'm sorry what?

Notice that they never make this argument about civil infrastructure. They never say "building council houses & schools & libraries will boost the economy" do they. The keynesianism only kicks in when it's bombs & hiring more professional killers
