A three hour flick isn’t a deal breaker, per se. But it’s hard to go to one next week, and I absolutely don’t have the time for it this weekend, for various reasons. I can always see JOHN WICK 4 a week from now, when we’re not actually doing anything in particular for Spring Break.

I do want to see the eventual four hour cut, though. Or at least find out if it sucked, or not.

Just JOHN WICK. No ‘4,’ or anything. Guess they figured we’d work it all out.

That’s fair.

PS: As I noted on Twitter, these movies resemble nothing so much as grounded, somber art-house reflections on the demands that responsibilities and obligations put on regular people… if the writer was Ventrue, and the director Toreador. And now I really want to see an official Vampire: The Masquerade movie. I mean, this will do, but I want the genuine article.

Sensible:

On today’s Lionsgate earnings call, the studio’s CEO John Feltheimer said, “We’re also busy preparing scripts for the next two installments of our John Wick action franchise, with John Wick 4 slated to hit theatres Memorial Day weekend 2022.  We hope to shoot both John Wick 4 & 5 back to back when Keanu becomes available early next year.”

Spoiler alert: this is not actually shocking. Well, OK: I was expecting them to kill off John Wick in this movie, so I am surprised in that regard. But aside from that: “Following the record setting box office for the franchise this weekend with John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Lionsgate has announced that Keanu Reeves will return once again as the eponymous assassin with John Wick: Chapter 4 set to arrive on May 21, 2021.”

No, not shocking at all. This movie promises to make Lionsgate a good hunk of change, and I hear that it’s good! Won’t know until tomorrow; I was going to go see it Friday, but that day turned out to be a half-day for school. But I can go catch a matinee in the morning.

Yes, I should be very thankful for my ability to do that.
