Just watched the first "The Fast and the Furious" movie all the way through for the first time

 I could not believe the subtext/chemistry between Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker, RIP). And I couldn't believe it was unintentional. Holy geez, I don't think Hot Fuzz was as slashy. 

I loved Brian, Dom, Dom/Brian, Mia, and the whole Toretto gang. I was so sad when Jesse died. Johnny Tran was in the movie surprisingly little; his plot was more like a subplot and an excuse to have more interaction between Brian and Dom rather than a central aspect.

And I loved those two together. Brian rescuing Dom from the cops, Dom inviting Brian into his house, garage, and his life, Dom taking up for Brian in from of his gang, Brian throwing away his career for Dom . . . LOVED IT. And now I'm already planning to see The Fate of the Furious.

I love these movies so much! ♥ They're just the best, even when they're not always objectively good. You should watch all the ones in between, too! Any time now, they'll start playing them all on TV constantly to make it easy for you, even

TBH, the promise of Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham - whose characters you haven't met yet - having a fight scene that makes use of the prison set is one of the things I am hanging onto to get me through this winter.

Yeah, they're a good time and a nice escape. I've been catching them at the gym lately while I'm there, and I hope to continue to. Brian/Dom OTP 4evah!
