Could not agree with you more about loving the bits of the movie where "nothing" happens, like the jogging in 2001, the ship waking up in Alien, or Luke watching the sunset in Star Wars.
Also, that Lana del Rey lyric kind of foreshadowed her marriage!
Yes, two more good examples from good movies. Sci-fi really peaked around that period. Blade Runner is another example.
You said: "foreshadowed her marriage!' LOL, I own three of her CDs and didn't even know she was married. My excuse is that I'm 69, too old to follow pop culture trends.
I think that at some level John Wick must have been conceived as a comedy. But the stuff they were trying to parody was already so campy that it just ended up looking like a more extreme version of a bad action movie.
A long standing dream realized: At 9 I saw "The Searchers", a John Wayne/John Ford movie wholly filmed in Monument Valley. First thing; "fell in love with Natalie Wood (16 when she made the movie). Second: Wnated very much to go horseback riding in Mon Valley. Never met Natalie Wood, but in May 2023 went horse back riding in MV!

In May 2024, I drove my car in Monument Valley. Yes, a horse would be better.
