After rocketing to a record-setting $83.6 million opening weekend, Fast Five has suddenly become the central jewel in Universal's unexpected crown franchise. (Apologies to MacGruber.) And while we clearly have other matters in the news to keep us occupied today, find here your refuge for the conversation you know you really want to have: What do you make of the Fast Five phenomenon?
Among the myriad topics up for discussion in today's edition of Talkback:
· The basics: What did you think of it?
· Is the series better or worse for having invited Dwayne Johnson to play along?
· Does director Justin Lin's attachment to a new Terminator film interest or frustrate you?
· Are Paul Walker and Vin Diesel doomed to reprise their roles for the rest of their natural lives?
· What should they call the franchise's sixth installment? (I'm fond of Fast, Furi6us. Actually, wait, I'm not.)
