    Dragged Across Concrete (Mel Gibson + Vince Vaughan cop movie)

    This sounds... spectacularly ill advised, commercial-wise.

    Gibson and Vaughn will play cops who are suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics gets wide attention. They then descend into the criminal underworld to exact vengeance.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Is "Dragged" grammatically correct?
    "All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"

    "Rick...it's a flamethrower."

    Yeah, it's the past tense of drag.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    From memory .... Vaughn is like 6'3 and Gibson is like 5'6", maaaaaaybe 5'7".

    ETA: Looking forward to this because S. Craig Zahler is such a weird-ass writer/director. Also think it's interesting that both Vaughn and Johnson are working with him again.

    Internet says Vaughn 6'5" and Gibson 5'10".

    S. Craig Zahler has yet to let me down. He's the best 1970s exploitation filmmaker working today.
