EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE (2022) Dir. Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert

My favorite thing about the John Wick movies is how all the background characters seem just completely unconcerned with everything going on around them.  Nobody ever like tries to call the cops or anything.  This must happen all the time.

“Hey, I’m gonna be a few minutes late today… . Yeah, it’s the assassins again… . I swear, every gddamn day with this shit.”

“Hey, did you hear about Frankie?”

“Nah.  What happened?”

“Assassins got him.  Did gun karate all over him.”

“Aw, damn, that sucks.  Anyway.  Did you catch the game last night?”

Nah actually my favorite part is still in the second movie when we found out that the guild of assassins has an extensive administrative bureaucracy made up entirely of ambiguously-gendered alt girls dressed like old-timey bank tellers.  That was super weird but in like a cool way.  The fact that everyone seems to think this is normal is my second-favorite part.

#My head Canon is that everything in the John wick universe runs on the same degree of secrecy #Like plumbers have codewords and guilds and secret knocks #Taxi drivers are split into seven distinct factions distinguished by their medallions #The assassins are actually the most normal ones there

See, I’d just assumed the whole economy is the Assassins Guild.

Plumbers? Assassins Guild.

Taxi drivers? Assassins Guild.

Not everybody in the Guild has to actually murder people! It takes infrastructure to support all these organized hits. Plus there is the matter of security. What, you think John Wick is gonna trust just any rando to clean his suits? Nope, gotta be a guild member.

Can’t stop thinking about this 236 mile long theoretical PDF. Talked about it on the phone with my friend earlier. PDF longer than the country of Belgium. Forbidden yet technically fully supported 236 mile long PDF. I’m obsessed.
