I am thinking about watching Transporter 2 on FX. I have not seen the first. Will I be lost?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You can't watch Transporter 2 first! It'll be like reading Proust's À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs without first having read Du côté de chez Swan.

You know, I was going to warn you off, le nubian, but I think watching the Transporter in reverse order might be best. I didn't make it through the second one, but if I hadn't been comparing it to the first (which I enjoyed SO MUCH) I might have liked it better.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oh shoot! well, the action scenes are intoxicating and the little boy is adorable. I will have to see the first movie now.
I just watched Eagle Eye, so I'm not really expecting high drama.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What -t said. I haven't seen 3 yet, so I can't comment on that one.

Transporter is one of those where random rescued woman falls in immediate lust for her rescuer and sex ensues?

Well, yes. Along with a hideously trivialized human trafficking plot. But it's got some of the most amazing fight scenes EVER.
See, now I want to pop in the DVD.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I saw Cedar Rapids last night, and it was cute. Although I expected more -- this is why I kind of hate going to see movies based on good reviews, because my expectations get too high!

I haven't seen 3 yet, either, but I heard it was better than 2. I don't remember where I heard that, though, could be my fevered brain making up opinions out of whole cloth.
