The Friday Link for 1/22/16

I have gone back and forth on whether to post this, but it is too brilliant for me not too!

***WARNING - ADULT CONTENT***

I've posted Cinemas Sins here before.  They are the guys behind the wildly popular "Everything Wrong With..." YouTube series, where they watch a movie and point out all the things wrong with the movie, handing each mistake a sin, sometimes more than one sin.  They have some really good videos, but I have to give it to them for their take down of the Fast and Furious franchise. 

The Fast and Furious movies are exactly as these guys describe, garbage.  They are the WWE of movies, where the action and stunts are so unbelievable you have to be blindly rooting for the good guy to make any of it remotely enjoyable.  The acting is atrocious, the scripts are abominable and the overall experience gives you a headache.  These are movies made for 13 year old boys, with everything a 13 year old boy thinks is great: cars, fights, explosions, stunts, scantily clad women and stupid references to some sort of street code that has some sort of mythical honor involved.  They are just DUMB!

That being said, they sell a lot of tickets to them, mainly because the movie studio releases them on weekends with no completion, outside of the summer and holiday seasons, and the other movie studios don't schedule movies against them, giving them two to three weeks of uncontested box offices.  They are popular by default.

Thank you Cinema Sins!  Thank you.  Your sharp, technical, and incredibly funny dissection of each of these duds is the only way to watch them.  And your running jokes which carry over from each video are hilarious.  

I'll start with the fourth move, and post 5, 6, and the recently released 7.  Make sure you have an hour or so.  For some reason, YouTube will not allow me to post the video itself so please click on the link:
