“I had high hopes for Premium Rush because I thought it would be awesome like the classic 80s film Quicksilver starring Jami Gertz and Kevin Bacon who becomes a bike messenger in San Fran. There’s a scene in the movie where he’s riding his ten speed around his apartment and I was pretty young when I saw Quicksilver for the first time so the movie imprinted and I decided when I grew up, three things needed to happen:
Marry Kevin Bacon
Bike around my brightly lit loft apartment while my husband Kevin Bacon watches.
Festoon my apartment with bowls of M&Ms because my mom didn’t allow us to eat junk food.Not one of those dreams have come true but Quicksilver is still a great movie. Premium Rush is medical waste.

Oooh, Roxane, I gotta get you into the tao of Michael Shannon, who is a genius that is being typecast as Christopher Walken II when he can do anything.

I just saw Premium Rush, and it was glorious. Not because of the plot (which was awful and had racist/sexist undertones) but b/c I saw it with bike messengers who were peeing themselves with joy. Sorry this isn’t a real witty/intelligent thought
