A Stunt Guy’s First Snow

Colt Seavers doesn’t actually experience real snow until his 20s during the third movie he’s hired for. The entire thing is this historical action/thriller set in Russia, so the entire crew filmed everything in a real snow setting.

And this Florida Boy is amazed by it. Genuinely blown away. He’s never experienced anything like this in real life before, and as cheesy as it sounds, it’s nothing like what’s in the movies.

He’s not the only one on the stunt crew who’s experiencing snow for the first time either, so the rest of the crew who understand the appeal of snow are fully intent on showing these two poor boys a proper snow day.

So on a day off, the entire stunt crew pulls on coveralls, boots, toboggans, and gloves and they go have a field day. Literally. They grab anything from the set they can use for sleds with the good intentions of bringing them back in the same condition they were taken it works out for 80% of the things they bring and they show the snow ignorant how it’s done.

Imagine around 40 men ranging in ages from 20s to 40s acting like 10 year olds in the snow. Sledding, snow ball fights lots of those, trying to make snowmen that look like people in the business they know and that brought a lot of laughs and inside jokes, and of course, stunts in the snow. Sled jumps and parkour and snowball trick shots. They even tried to make a snowball big enough to reenact Indiana Jones running from the boulder. Their “boulder” only ended up being hip high and they did not make their boulder at the top of the hill so it could roll. Which in the end, that was probably for the best.

After hours of playing like only boys can play, they retreat to the shelter of heated rooms, hot showers, and coffee or hot chocolate. And it literally is one of the best days of his life. No wonder people love snow so much!

But one thing Colt loves about snow is actually something he discovered on his own.

Later that night, his mind is not ready to sleep yet though his body is worn out from a full day in the snow. He’s got an early morning, but he doesn’t care. He grabs a cup of hot chocolate he wants coffee but it’s too late for that and wanders back outside to the steps of where he’s staying. Just because. And he’s glad he did because the snow is falling so gracefully and peacefully that he’s honestly taken back by the serenity of it. So for once in who knows how long, the guy who loves to talk, the guy who can’t really stay still to save his life, the guy who is more on the move than anyone he knows takes a seat on the steps with his hot chocolate and watches the snow fall and lets his mind turn off.

A peaceful, silent night.

Am I the only one that actually wants to see MetalStorm?

I did not know I needed a dune x madmax x great stunts crossover before I watched the Fall Guy.

Also while I’m at it uhhhh giving the stunt team more plot relevance bc they deserved better and instead of being written as pointlessly optimistic characters written by the preschool writers why not have them be disabled rep who show that if you’re disabled you can do anything.

And I gave them a space theme bc why not but here are their name changes/disabilities bc I’m so cool and swag

Rocket Racer - Missing a leg! He’s still the cheesy, optimistic leader. He wants to be a good role model kind of like Duke Detain. His theme is a stereotypical astronaut.

Interplanet Janet (Raze) - Has fibromyalgia and lupus! General chronic pain haver, and uses a wheelchair when she’s not doing stunt shows to rest her body. Shes definitely the most “cool” one or at least she tries to be. Her theme is very alien-based

Sunspot (Spotlight) - He’s blind! His personality is definitely the least changed from in the show, still the same super dramatic guy we all know and love. His outfit is star themed now.

Comet Crash (Wallop) - He’s autistic! His disability shows a lot with the symptom of not being able to feel pain as much, and he does the heavy hitting stunts as a result. He’s also the reason I was changing character names because there was ALREADY A WALLOP IN THE SHOW. And his design is based on comets.

Incognitro - Mute, just like in canon! He honestly is the exact same as before other than the fact that his design is slightly more robot themed. He usually plays the “villain” in the stunt shows.

The Art of Falling: 'The Fall Guy' Balances Action and Heart

The Fall Guy is a movie that has everything trending in the right direction before you even view it. Likable actors on full display. Explosions in full force, action that looks amazing. The big question, though, is how does that all come together as a final movie?

Let's jump right into that. There is a lot to unpack here. This movie has a lot of moving parts and a lot of commetary on the film industry. Some parts of it work, and some feel like a grandiose message that may not come across as the film intended.

What immediately works is the chemistry between Blunt and Gosling. Absolutely, without a doubt, they seemed to be having a blast with this film. Without this working on the level it does, this film never stood a chance. It is remarkable the way they played off another to keep the tension of the romance throughout the movie. It elevates the crazy stunts that surround the narrative.

The story of this movie is rather simple. Lead actor missing on set. Man, in love with a woman, he thinks he blew his only shot with and now he wants to make up for the past mistakes. That is a story we have seen countless times but never set against the backdrop of a Hollywood style production. The subplot itself of the missing lead actor (played by Aaron Taylor Johnson) becomes its own thriller within the larger movie. At times, they try and do too much with that, and it leads to some predictable troupes being used to propel the story into the third act.

This movie works as a means to highlight the people who are often overlooked the most on a films production. While this movie does highlight that, the over reliance on predictable fight sequences and action sequences may have hindered that message. Most of the stunts in this movie we have seen before. For a movie that tries to show how much these performers are willing to do, they probably should have pushed that envelope a little more.

The love story is what works the best. Colt wanting to prove his love for Jody was what kept the film grounded and fun. It is really comedic at times, and that works as well to keep you invested in the plot. I just expected a little less predictability in terms of the action sequences and set pieces to elevate it above the genre norm.

While not shocking at all, the best part about this movie is the cast. That is fully what was expected going in. This movie made me laugh far more than I expected to and made me believe in the love between the two characters. Overall, the movie does its job at being solidly entertaining and a fun time while soaking it all in. Definitely worth the watch.
