❤BIBLE VERSES OF THE DAY❤ 1 COLOSSIANS 1:9-14 NIV 9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,[e] 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you[f] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Great review. I see you rocking that amazing hair. Beautiful as all get out girl. Keep up the great work. I'm loving all of the awesome content. Catch you in the next one Blend. 😎

I like your video

[@ninjavigilante5311]

You so beautiful missy :)

[@ajjbs7580]

Hi, you are making content for a while now, haven't checked in for a minute but want to comment on your video quality. I checked out the Mummy and your color on that one was much better calibrated perhaps a second to golden, but with your skin tone, what was still in the range of great picture. In this one you look greenish, which is not so brilliant. The reaction is consistent but you should have like a color board to set your White and color grades on your video yourself, so that they are every time the same quality. If you want to auto your white balance, you should have some white in the picture so that the camera can auto calibrate itself. Some reactors have different colors on the side and not just sit/ stand in front of a green screen. That helps a lot. Also, with your hair open, it takes a lot of space, almost a square. Sure, no problem using a green screen but if your cut out is like a square, some other decorative things to improve the picture quality would bother anyone. Hope it helps you future videos. And you're an artist, so I hope that you don't take it a wrong way.

The depiction of his suicidal tendencies are really interesting. I used to feel like committing suicide was weak, something that showed someone wanted to take the easy way out. Then I went through a series of events that took me as low as I ever want to be and I found myself in the same state of mind. I never had the strength to do it. That's honestly what it felt like. Not weakness. It would have taken more strength than I have ever had.

[@yannicksibilly]

That’s so true! Went through the same state and I realized how much strength it takes to do it

not trying to be a dick but i think the word you are looking for is "Desperation" to do it, i'm not saying it isn't terrible people go through these kind of shifts in mental state and i my self have been in my fair share of lows after an abrupt lose. But saying going through with suicide is "Strength" instead of "Desperation" ....just no

[@shiva19112]

well then thank yourself that you weren't so strong. smh

[@angelomaurizio1668]

Roger's wife was played by Rock n Roll Hall of Famer, Darlene Love. Her iconic voice can be heard on such songs as The Crystals 'He's a Rebel' and sang background vocals for many artists in the early 60s. But she will always be known for singing lead vocals in one of the greatest Christmas albums of all time from Phil Spector in 1963.

[@dancarter482]

Anthony Kiedis's dad Blackie is the "prick" Riggs wants them to shoot!

[@SimoExMachina2]

Joshua is played by Gary Busy. He is a phenomenal side role actor who has been in countless roles including in Point Break, Under Siege and Predator 2. He brings that right kind of crazy to his performances. Always fun to watch his craft.

[@gerstelb]

He has a few actual starring roles, such as the title role in “The Buddy Holly Story.”

[@johnnyjohnny2650]

He legitimately is a bit crazy. He had a motorcycle accident in '88 (a year after this was filmed) which gave him some brain damage and now-days he's a bit out there

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

She probably knows him from DC Cab. 😁

[@dancarter482]

BIG WEDNESDAY / Point Break!

[@hansgerber8654]

even was nominated for an Oscar - underrated as hell as a character actor

[@krono5el]

Being a kid from 1990 to like 95 was amazing especially if you were into movies and anime. All the older classics, movies from the 80s, till all the modern movies up to 95 were so quality and available to consume at any time just enriching the imagination. unbelievable times for kids who were movie freaks : D

[@shainewhite2781]

This is one of the best Buddy Cop Action comedy films I've ever seen! I watched Lethal Weapon 2 and 3 when I was younger. Sylvester Stallone, William Hurt, Mickey Rourke, Michael Biehn, Christopher Lambert ( Lamb bear) Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, Jeff Bridges, Richard Gere, Michael Douglas, Tom Hanks, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Robert DeNiro, Christopher Reeve, Al Pacino and Nick Cage were considered for Riggs. Brian Dennehy, Robert Duvall, Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Charles Bronson, and Warren Beatty were considered for Roger. Stephen Lang, Steven Railsback, Ron Perlman, Keith Carradine, Christopher Walken, Scott Glenn, and James Woods were considered for Mr. Joshua. Lee Marvin, Richard Jordan, James Earl Jones, Peter Boyle and Robert Duvall were considered for General McAllister.

[@waterbeauty85]

If I had to choose from these alternatives, I'd go with Kurt Russell, Robert Duvall (or maybe Brian Denehy), Ron Perlman, and James Earl Jones.

[@kapsh94]

I remember watching this with my dad as a kid and him telling me Lethal Weapon was the first major western action movies to show legit Jiu-Jitsu submission moves in their fight scenes. What a great buddy cop action movie with just the right amount of comedy.

[@playthroughcinema]

one of the gracies taught him some techniques I read, he did capoiera and 52 blocks (a prison martial art)

[@user-si9fx4xb6v]

@@playthroughcinema One of the many reasons Lethal Weapon is one of my favorite action movies is due to the fight between Riggs and Mr. Joshua using all of those martial arts you mentioned. Been a martial artist myself for several years.

[@playthroughcinema]

@@user-si9fx4xb6v nice keep doin what u do

[@Khay-77]

As much as I like the original, Lethal Weapon 2 is still my favorite. That's when both actors really settle into their characters and the banter is just great.

[@playthroughcinema]

I agree it just edges the first and the introduction of pesci is nice too

[@austenrichardgeorge842]

Lethal Weapon 2 was arguably as good if not better. A rare high-quality sequel.

[@sweiland75]

Lethal Weapon set the standard for buddy cop movies.

[@mojavered1273]

Best action/buddy-cop movie ever made. It will never be surpassed. What an incredible classic.

[@FeaturingRob]

This is one of my favorite movie series. Each one builds in terms of characters, even bringing in new and amazing characters you love just as much. The chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is amazing, and the visual style set by Richard Donner is magic. This is also one of the few series that keeps the cast, the director, and the musical team (Composer Michael Kamen, rock guitar legend Eric Clapton, and master jazz saxophonist David Sanborn) together throughout all of the films. LW2 is equally as good as LW1, the quality dips just a teeny bit with LW3, and LW4 is the weakest, but by the time you get to LW4 you are so in love and invested in all of the characters and how they have grown together...it still is a really good movie. All four are must-watches. As for other Mel Gibson movies to do: - 'Braveheart' is a must...it also won Mel Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture. - 'The Patriot' - 'What Women Want' - 'We Were Soldiers...' - 'Maverick' (which reteams Mel with Richard Donner) Danny Glover movies: - 'Silverado' - 'Grand Canyon' - 'Witness' - 'The Color Purple' - 'Beloved' - 'Dreamgirls' Richard Donner movies: - 'Superman: The Movie' & 'Superman II: The Donner Cut' with Christopher Reeve as Superman,.Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, and Marlon Brando as Jor-El. - 'The Goonies' with Sean Astin and Josh Brolin - 'Ladyhawke' with Michelle Pfeiffer, Rutger Hauer and Matthew Broderick - 'Assassins' written by The Wachowskis before 'The Matrix' with Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, and Julianne Moore. - 'Maverick' with Mel, Jodie Foster, James Garner, and a fun cameo that must be seen!

[@TrippingHawk]

even though the weakest, Lethal Weapon 4 is a ton of fun and a great send off for all the characters. It's also better than most sequels ever dream of being lol

[@FeaturingRob]

@@TrippingHawk Agreed!!!

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

"and the musical team (Composer Michael Kamen, rock guitar legend Eric Clapton, and master jazz saxophonist David Sanborn) together throughout all of the films" What somebody mentioned in other comments from other reactions is how that music is like their theme. Each one separate then as they become partners you hear the music playing together. I never noticed for all these years till that reaction. Just another part of the reason it works so well.

[@FeaturingRob]

@@jayeisenhardt1337 Exactly! Clapton = Riggs, Sanborn = Murtagh...Together= Magic!

[@tedtosterone2262]

I finally reached an age where begun to sometimes say "I'm too old for this shit" lol

[@athos1974]

Hah. It's not the age, it's the mileage. My grandfather's favorite quote.

[@jessereyna6662]

When this movie came out, not very many people actually went out to see it. Back then their was so many action movies with big movies stars and Mel Gibson and Danny Glover were not their yet. It became extremely popular in movie rentals that the studios decided to make a part 2. This was the beginning of one of the best Buddy cop movies ever.

[@shallowgal462]

I can't wait to see you watch Lethal Weapon 2! I love your facial expressions, voices and imitations. You have such an entertaining personality.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

"Oh, we've got character development!" You have GOT to watch the sequels! Character development up the wazoo!

[@UncleQue]

This and Die Hard pretty much set the standard for action movies for the next few decades.

[@kyngjoe753]

This movie never gets old 🔥

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Unlike Roger lol!

[@singingwordwright148]

Lethal Weapon is one of the few franchises where the quality holds up from movie to movie. I recommend the others.

[@toodlescae]

All 4 Lethal Weapon movies are awesome. Besides I'm a big Mel Gibson fan. He is an amazing actor and director. The tv show didn't have the same chemistry as Gibson and Glover so I never watched more than the first episode.

[@victornewmanforever]

Danny Glover's character felt "too old for this shit". He was only 41 when the movie was released.

[@athos1974]

Hah. It's not the age, it's the mileage.

[@orlandoruizjr3834]

I've always loved this movie. To me, this is one of the greatest action films of all time, up there with First Blood, Terminator 2, Mad Max 2, Indiana Jones /Temple of Doom, and Die Hard. Lethal 2 is my favorite of the sequels, but 3 and 4 are loads of fun. Lethal 3 bring some unexpected dramatic heft, and Lethal 4 is probably the most comedic and exciting, due to have Chris Rock and Jet Li. Lethal 4 was so fun to watch in a crowded theater. The audience actually applaud and cheered during one scene. This series is great. Really looking forward to your reactions to the sequels.

[@nathanarmstrong6791]

Another fun reaction CB. Your impromptu impressions are a hoot. The vibration/shaking movement from The Thing is still my favorite.

[@j_go.]

Seeing Gary Busey reminds me another movie he was in, "Point Break" (1991).

[@WRam-fo2sc]

Welcome to the Lethal Weapon series. You should definitely see #2. I.M.O. it is far better than #1. Not to say #1 is bad; I love the original, but I feel #2 is more intense and emotional. Just ask Leo, Leo getz it.

[@gerardoreyes602]

This one and Die Hard are the best Christmas movies ever!!!💯💯💯😏😏😏 This is a franchise and they are all awesome. Rumor is there's another one coming. Love you channel and reactions.

[@thegorn68]

Another noteworthy thing about Lethal Weapon that most people miss - the nature of the soundtrack. Whenever you hear that lone blues guitar riff that sounds Clapton-Esque? The guitar plays whenever it's a scene about Riggs or when there's a focus on his character. What about Murtaugh? You'll notice Murtaugh is always scored by a saxophone. In their respective scenes before they meet, they'll only have their 'own' instruments playing, but by the time they start working together (like the pool house scene), the instruments start playing in a duet, playing together. Framing all of this, the string section frames the narrative and adds necessary suspense in action scenes. And that's why the soundtrack for Lethal Weapon is a freaking masterpiece. Thank Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton for that!

[@MrJohnTeacher]

Roger Murtaugh's wife is played by Darlene Love, a very famous singer from the 1960s. You can see her in the 'gospel number' in the 1968 TV special, ELVIS. She's the short lady on his far left.

[@masterroshi1015]

The target range scene is my favorite lol ...."do you sleep with that thing?" , "If I slept"

[@maikerucouk]

All 4 Lethal Weapons are great. Hope you do the rest soon.

[@ProdSangreNueva]

Danny Glover was 40 years old here. He acted as 50 but he was in really good shape.

[@fran3ro]

Joshua is played by Gary Busey, who was agent Keys in "Predator 2", also starred by Danny Glover. Though I don't know if you saw that movie. Busey also is on "Point Break" with Keanu Reeves, "Under Siege" with Steven Seagal, "Silver Bullet" (a Stephen King book adaptation) and, of course, "Sharknado 4". PS: you're stunning 😍

[@bradrot991]

Your reactions always brighten my day, thanks. Hope you're having a fantastic day. Cheers

[@rxtsec1]

I love this whole series so I hope you do all 4

[@davidcollver6155]

Joshua, Gary Busey, played Buddy Holly in The Buddy Holly Story. Gary Busey actually did his own singing for the whole movie. It's a lost classic underrated movie. You need to do a reaction to that movie, you'll enjoy it.

[@luckyent1299]

Sis! This is my favorite buddy cop series ever! When I tell you that you gotta finish this series…… Character development! Lol I’ll just say that. I’m here if ya don’t but I’m riding if u do. Be safe. God bless.

You'd like "Surviving The Game" (1994) With Gary Busey (Joshua), F. Murray Abraham, Charles S. Dutton and Ice-T

[@MartinFransson]

Damm, I forgot about that one. Really enjoyed it when I was younger.

[@pedanticperson1149]

Another film you show check out is Air America & actually stars Mel Gibson (& Robert Downey Jr), it came out a few years after this one & is one of those happy little coincidences given the airline was reference here.

[@fatkart7641]

And not a single racial subplot, joke or reference throughout the whole movie, which is absolutely brilliant! This movie kicked down some walls for its time, and we should've learned from it. Also, if you're looking for another fun ride with Glover & Gibson, check Lethal Weapon 4. Still has the charm of the first movie and great action scenes.

[@GyvonJante]

One of the best of the 80s and also one of the few and first films to touch on police suicide, while also showing an ordinary black family. Written by Shane black , one of the actors in Predator. I love your energy and FUN attitude I’m watching films. You’d be awesome to sit in the cinema with and just listen to your commentary. 🏆🏆⭐️⭐️
