Training Day is the performance that earned Denzel Washington his award. But he had so many phenomenal performances. One of his greatest was his portrayal in MALCOLM X. I highly recommend it. I'm enjoying your reactions.
Any powder aerosolized in the air makes the air combustible. Lots of woods hops and grain mills have gone boom because they didn’t have immaculate dust collection and had a single spark.
@phoenixhomeless1522 would be ironic but probably since It is very heat resistant but not fireproof. Having said that, unless you are slitting open hepavac bags of asbestos from remediations, you wouldn’t find enough asbestos dust in the quantities needed to saturate the air with to try.
@phoenixhomeless1522 no it woud not burn, becaust there is no burn in these reactions the explosion comes from the heat expansion of all the small particles in the air which at a certain point happans instantly and it could be reached by any powderlike substance as long as the paticle / air ratio is good and the sparking heat is high enough...
Just so yall know, the part where denzel and miles were talking near the elevator was all unscripted. Denzel went off script and the director signal the camera crew to keep going, little did they know it was gonna turn out like that.
He and Antoine Fuqua have that connection, where he gives Denzel space to do his thing. He said Denzel did the same in the original with the "When you pray for rain line" and in Training Day with the legendary "King Kong ain't got 💩 on me".
Yes, flour is *incredibly* flammable when it's floating in the air like dust. There are tons of videos of grain silos/elevators exploding when something ignites the grain dust in the air inside.
Denzel and Ashton have such a connection! You can see the young man trying to live up to the mastor of an actor he has right in his face screaming the lines with crazy emotion and feeling. Gotta say the kid lived up to the legend and had a great performance!
I LOVE Denzel's take on this character! IMO, he's made the character his (I used to watch the show this was based on in the 80s). I can't wait to see the third one that's coming out soon! Great reaction, as always!
They wanted denzel for the 80's show! Denzel has said he would have loved to have done it but he was already on St Elsewhere, so they hired robert Woodward instead. This is also the first movie where he did the sequel for it. Part 3 comes out Sept 1.
oh good i was worried this would only be a two movie deal. I can't think fo another time denzel willingly did a sequel to one of his movies. Equalizer is one of the few reboot movies that i think is better than the original.
It was written for a ex cia (retired) person to play the role after his wife dies he goes vigilante so was always for a older actor & seen as Denzel was only in his 30s when original equaliser came out I doubt he was old enough 😂
@@meanlean3095 Laugh it up but denzel mentioned it that is why I mentioned it. It's pretty stupid to make that shit up for what reason? LOL As if in movie world a guy in his 30's couldn't be retired cause his wife died.
EQ2. Another kick-a** sequel. It just never ceases to amaze in having one of the great actors of all time in a well-honed action thriller. I liked how this one was a little more closer, more personal for McCall. Betrayal has a way of bringing out the worse in people. But you don't just think that with McCall, you'll get away with it. Ever better action sequences. The car fight and the battle in the storm were awesome. This outgrossed the first installment and became Denzel's highest grossing film ever. EQ3 as the final chapter looks to be even more epic.
Coming soon: Equalize With A Vengeance! Dakota Fanning is coming back to acting for that one. Whether it's permanent or temporary is another thing. Will be a nice reunion since working together with Denzel for Man On Fire. Folks tend to focus on the more popular Denzel movies, while overlooking hits like Fallen, Déjà Vu, American Gangster, Virtuosity and Malcolm X! "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT DEATH IS!" That rank reminded me of his story/connection with Chadwick Boseman.
I believe Susan was imploring Robert to go visit his old home that he shared with his wife Vivian, not to go back to the Agency. Also Anthony's laugh gives me life. Thanks for the reaction, guys. Man On Fire (2004) next?
I love the callback to Susan at the end. He finally went home like she wanted him to. You thought she was saying go back to the life when she obviously said home 🥺 What a great movie. Can’t wait to see Part 3 September 1st. Great reaction as always apart from you saying you hated Susan because you misunderstood what she said 😂
One of the biggest explosions I have ever heard was caused by ignition of grain dust in a silo about a mile away.. All of the electrical stuff in a grainary is usually rated explosion proof. I enjoy both movies in the series, I think the first one is my favorite. Thanks for reacting to this one.
TRAINING DAY and GLORY are both awesome movies. And I agree that they feature Denzel Washington's finest performances. But I can't really remember a movie where he didn't give a great performance. He is a phenomenal actor.
Your reaction to seeing the sister was priceless. (PRICELESS! - John Wick reference) Having watched both movies multiple times it was great seeing you both try and figure out what was going on. You did a great job btw. I can't wait for the third one. Should be out soon. I think you'd like some Jason Statham movies too. Start with the Mechanic.
14:25 “You don’t need school” 48:16 “Is flower flammable” PLEASE stay in school kids and continue to do so because it can take you far. Edit: Also I’m only now realizing the other part of the quote wasn’t included which is funny because it’s the major point of the quote; “It takes talent to make money, *but it takes brains to keep it*”
At 5:40 you asked how he got the job. If you will notice not even a minute before, neither of the adults knew how the daughter showed up at the front desk. You have to let things play out. Movies will almost always explain it you are patient and let them. Great reaction, BTW
It’s been so cool seeing films and TV shows that Pedro Pascal was in before he got as huge as he is now (I mean, he was huge with GAME OF THRONES, but still)! Can’t even recognize him without his iconic mustache and beard!
I loved this movie. As I hinted in the comments for Equalizer 1, my favorite dialogue was when Robert said "Man ain't spelled g-u-n, son. You got a choice. You got talent. You got a chance, and I don't want to hear 'bout your environment, what your momma didn't give you and the white man won't give you no shot." Everytime I watch that scene it gives me goosebumps 😊 Denzel is the best for a reason 🏆 On another note, you guys cracked me up with your commentary during this movie. It was so much fun👍🏼 I'm looking forward to watching The Equalizer 3 and seeing your reactions to it😊
I'll throw this in here because of the beginning of the film. Damsel Washington played Malcolm X in the movie "Malcolm X." It's a 4 hour movie. Be prepared.
All of the Denzel Washington movies Tony Scott directed were great. Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, Deja Vu, Taking of Pelham 123, and Unstoppable. I enjoyed them all.
I still can't believe they saw Alejandro as a John Wick character. He was simply an attorney trained by the CIA. He wasn't even supposed to be the most-skilled person in that movie, let alone 'magical' like John Wick. There's nothing out-of-character about him getting captured when he tried to do his own unplanned mission. She wasn't telling him to go back to the CIA; she was telling him to go back to his and his wife's house. You can tell if it's a one-way mirror by looking at it while touching it. He might have simply been assuming, though.
Common table sugar (sucrose) can catch fire at 662 degrees Fahrenheit (350 Celsius), which means that it is not technically flammable. However, powdered sugar, due to its smaller particle size and greater surface area, can be flammable and even explosive in certain situations.
1. The Equalizer is not about action, it's about one man's struggle with his past and attempt to make amends. 2. The difference between the first movie and the second is the main villain. The new villain is not as interesting as the old one, he wasn't a bad guy just a good guy that did bad things. We can see why Robert wants him dead but we did not feel for the death of Susan as much as we felt for the young sex slaves.
Speak for yourself. The first movie gave me a good reason to like Susan as she's one of the last good parts of his old life. Also Dave is a bad guy. Killing innocent cops, kidnapping innocent people as leverage, killing a friend who trusts you? No Dave is a piece of crap who deserves what he got
I actually preferred the villains in this one. I just couldn't get over the accents of the villains in the 1st. They were mostly supposedly Russians but speaking with Boston accents. It just kept taking me completely out of the film entirely. Also, they kept flipping between being intimidating and pretending like they were trying really hard to be. In this one it felt more effortless and they stopped clarifying nationalities which made it a million times better. If the 1st one actually had people who were Russian, Irish, etc. instead of American actors attempting to use accents it would have been lightyears more believable to me. I love David Harbour from Stranger Things but his accent killed me the most! The villains in the 3rd one I enjoyed the most. Of course, I won't clarify why until the reaction to the 3rd one comes out. But they improved with each movie down the line for me. I completely agree with you that we definitely didn't feel as much for Susan's death, though, as we did for Alina in the 1st film and her friends. Susan's death happened so quickly, and she was hardly even in the series at all. We basically just know they were friends that worked together at one point.
It's funny hearing you keep referring to the "Craig's List" ad, I still think of the TV series where it was an ad in the classifieds section of the newspaper. P.S. "Man on Fire" is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 /5
Just so yall know all 4 of them is his old crew and they want him dead for faking his death and after he faked his death Dave ended up calling the shots and they ended up answering to him.
Finely ground flour, floating in a concentrated cloud in the air, can ignite and explode. It's kind of a thermobaric bomb. If I have it right, these explosions used to happen accidentally before people caught on and started to A) prevent them from happening accidentally, and B) learn to do it on purpose in war. As for this as a sequel ... yeah, to me it fell flat, especially the final encounter. For me, the boss fight wasn't satisfying.
The government shut their jobs down, but they still have families to feed and they ain't working at no McDonald's or Home Depot so they decided to do hits.
This is among Denzel Washington's best. Also great are: "Man On Fire" (2004 remake) "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" (2009 remake) "Fallen" (1998) great to watch in october "Glory" (1989) based on real events.
The first one was a little better because he was mysterious. We didn't KNOW what he could do - he just did it and we were amazed, and were trying to figure out what else could he do. This one, we KNEW what he could do, so it wasn't a surprise when he did it, so we only mystery was HOW was he going to do it.
LOL, I still listen to the radio, because there's a really cool station here in Colorado that is all funded by listeners. So they play whatever they want. There's a lot of good music on that station. But I agree, the first one was a bit better. And I totally forgot that Pedro Pascal was the villain.
If you guys weren't almost constantly jabbering throughout the movie, you wouldn't have wondered who Dave began working for after the agency shut his unit down. You would've heard him say, "I went private right after." meaning he became a self-employed contract killer.
Here is another GREAT!!!! Denzel movie no one talks about. "Fallen" I don't know why it's not thought of when we think of him. It is very much worth a watch.
@@vincemac2223 spoilers* I was thinking about his brorher's son seeking vengeance against Azazel. Denzel's son is a good actor and he could play the part. Denzel himself could show up in flashbacks
Have you guys seen "Man on Fire" if you do a reaction make sure you have plenty of tissues. Glory and Training Day are two movies he won Oscars for and I think "Man on Fire" he should have won an Oscar.
If you like Denzel Washington, try "Deja Vu." It's an excellent adventure movie about time travel. The premise is that the US government accidentally discovered how to do surveillance on previous time periods and then kept it as a secret intelligence tool. By the end of the movie, it's developed into full fledged time travel.
There are two lesser known action movies that I recommend if you haven't seen them already: The Accountant starring Ben Affleck and Lockout starring Guy Pearce.
Sometimes a movie will give you the details. Just watch lol Also those dudes in the beginning said, "give yourself a tip.." He did $16 as to not draw attention to himself.
This one gave you more indication of who Robert was also what unit in the military he served in. This one felt a lot more personal on the on behalf of Susan being killed by his own unit. His own men do pretty much became mercs or Soldiers of fortune. Listen, how Dave tries to justify why he and the rest of them do what they do. It's typical we see this a lot in movies that are based in military or movies. Based where the bad guys form a military or something like that. And they go back to the government. Gives us a name, tell us that's the bad guy that was in the enemy. And then when the job is all done, they give you AA pattern to back and send you on your way. Typical things like that always, you know, stand out. And we've seen that kind of storytelling before, but haven't said that this one was more personal. Robert had to come to grips with his past and find solace in balancing his past. One of his main paths, mistakes is seeing what happened to his men. His men became like I said mercs for hire. The funniest thing is I knew Dave was on it. The moment I saw him I'm just like not he's, he's a part of it. I want I saw this movie with my brother in theaters. He, we were just like, yeah, he's a bad guy. You he, he's the one that's set everything up. Probably one of my favorite moments in the movie is the same between. Robert and miles where he talks about miles. Got talent and I love that scene where I don't wanna care. I don't care about you environment. I don't care about what the white man aint give you. You got town and use it, you don't know what death is. I love that scene so much, it it. It is such a beautiful scene. It's like a father talking to a son who is string from his path. But the father's gettin him back on the path. Robert was a father figured to miles. The other side stories are good too. But avenging Susan and miles is story really made the movie feel a lot more homage to the TV series.
At least for me, the first one did have a thematic aspect of making the main character Robert McCall seem so much more cool and the dynamic of cat and mouse between him and Teddy Rensen (the Russian gang representative sent to the United States) made him such a compelling character. I think as you mentioned, in the second movie they focused on Robert's existing relationships and took screen time to show the history. While this may make the story personal, it doesn't necessarily convey the feeling of (this guy is a badas* character). Basically, in the first film there were scenes where you psychologically are compelled to root for him more like when he brutally took down corrupt cops, recovered his coworker's ring, shut down a money laundering area, etc. In this one, you had some of those scenes too but the focus was much more on empathizing with Robert McCall rather than simply being the mysterious vigilante hero.
@@joannamason5472you forget you're watching a "REACTION" channel if you wanted them to watch a movie with no input go watch it yourself.....both of you look stupid rn
I would assume that if they were in a theater they would be respectful and watch the movie like everyone else. This is their channel, a reaction channel, and are in their own living room reacting to a movie. It's what reaction channels do. Also, this isn't an airport, so you don't have to announce your departure.
@@MarkJ1776 You can defend them all you want but when they create a channel to solicit the time and attentions of people to react to their reactions, they're going to receive feedback from it. It's their channel so let them own all of it (including the critiques).

Y'all ever finished Assassination Classroom?
'Carbon Copy' is another very early Denzel Washington movie
Training Day is the performance that earned Denzel Washington his award. But he had so many phenomenal performances. One of his greatest was his portrayal in MALCOLM X. I highly recommend it. I'm enjoying your reactions.
"The Bone Collector" is one of his best
If yall havent seen Equalizer 3 yet, I personally recommend Man on Fire before E3. If you saw M.o.F. then perfect!
Any powder aerosolized in the air makes the air combustible. Lots of woods hops and grain mills have gone boom because they didn’t have immaculate dust collection and had a single spark.
Beat me to it.
What’s basically happened is he created a dust bomb, it was a very common occurrence in flower mills in the 18&1900’s
@phoenixhomeless1522 would be ironic but probably since It is very heat resistant but not fireproof. Having said that, unless you are slitting open hepavac bags of asbestos from remediations, you wouldn’t find enough asbestos dust in the quantities needed to saturate the air with to try.
th-cam.com/video/0k3fsPgRhJ0/w-d-xo.html is a good example.
learned this 1st with mythbusters. damn i miss that show.
@phoenixhomeless1522 no it woud not burn, becaust there is no burn in these reactions the explosion comes from the heat expansion of all the small particles in the air which at a certain point happans instantly and it could be reached by any powderlike substance as long as the paticle / air ratio is good and the sparking heat is high enough...
''I'm your father your mamma just didn't tell u'' That line never gets old 😁
Fun fact: the pep talk scene was fully improvized by Denzel. I love that man.
Every Denzel movie is good just even for him. Hes in the top 10 best actors of all time
Y’all talked throughout all the good parts & then ask questions about what they just said lol.
Just so yall know, the part where denzel and miles were talking near the elevator was all unscripted. Denzel went off script and the director signal the camera crew to keep going, little did they know it was gonna turn out like that.
He and Antoine Fuqua have that connection, where he gives Denzel space to do his thing. He said Denzel did the same in the original with the "When you pray for rain line" and in Training Day with the legendary "King Kong ain't got 💩 on me".
Very powerful scene that was.
Some kids just need guidance.
Yes, flour is *incredibly* flammable when it's floating in the air like dust. There are tons of videos of grain silos/elevators exploding when something ignites the grain dust in the air inside.

It's their first reunion since Man on Fire, but she never stopped acting. She's been in numerous movies since
@@bigb2494 I thought she stopped after Push to focus on school. Waste a thought, then.🤨

TRAINING DAY and GLORY are both awesome movies. And I agree that they feature Denzel Washington's finest performances. But I can't really remember a movie where he didn't give a great performance. He is a phenomenal actor.
He's definitely protective of his career and what he stars in.

"Fallen" is another great Denzil movie that most people never heard of.
Denzel Washington would probably tell you to "stop saying an education isn't necessary..."
14:25 “You don’t need school”
48:16 “Is flower flammable”
PLEASE stay in school kids and continue to do so because it can take you far.
Edit: Also I’m only now realizing the other part of the quote wasn’t included which is funny because it’s the major point of the quote; “It takes talent to make money, *but it takes brains to keep it*”
I mean. I don't think I learned about particulate bombs in school.
His friend was telling him to go home. As in literally his home at the coast that he shared with his wife, not the job at the agency.
54:15 my favorite part of the whole reaction!!!! So in sync 😊
Pedro Pascal is more known from Narcos than Game of Thrones
10:31 No one has ever been so excited to see Denzel Washington get justice on someone else's behalf!🤣
Training day is the movie when everyone realized how special Denzel is as an actor.

Thank you! Geez, allow the movie to unfold
Denzel Washington's in rattling form. But when is he ever not?
I can't wait for the equalizer 3
It’s been so cool seeing films and TV shows that Pedro Pascal was in before he got as huge as he is now (I mean, he was huge with GAME OF THRONES, but still)! Can’t even recognize him without his iconic mustache and beard!

functions in wide areas too... it´s just far less spectacular
Philadelphia was another good Denzel movie. With Tom Hanks as an added bonus
Another Classic is Denzel as "Malcolm X" is incredible

Finely ground flour, floating in a concentrated cloud in the air, can ignite and explode. It's kind of a thermobaric bomb. If I have it right, these explosions used to happen accidentally before people caught on and started to A) prevent them from happening accidentally, and B) learn to do it on purpose in war.
As for this as a sequel ... yeah, to me it fell flat, especially the final encounter. For me, the boss fight wasn't satisfying.
Nice!!
I'm glad you're watching this movie!
Also Paul Reubens, Pee Wee Herman, passed away at 70 following a 6 year battle with cancer.
Man on Fire is another great Denzel movie.
Its time for Equalizer 3 🔥
I could watch you two all day long. Your chemestry is so endearing AND you are funny, too. Hats off to you
Another great movie that no one has mentioned is John Q. Emotional
The Flour Bomb was my favorite part of this movie!
The government shut their jobs down, but they still have families to feed and they ain't working at no McDonald's or Home Depot so they decided to do hits.
Denzel. SAFE HOUSE with Ryan Reynolds and Denzel. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.
We Need Part 3!!!
When Pedro touched the mirror, he could tell it was see-through. You can tell if it's one-way or two-way if your reflection in it touches you or not.
This is among Denzel Washington's best. Also great are:
"Man On Fire" (2004 remake)
"The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" (2009 remake)
"Fallen" (1998) great to watch in october
"Glory" (1989) based on real events.
That speech to that kid was amazing👍🏻
What did blaming other people for your problems ever get anyone?
The final fight scene was filmed in my old neighborhood of Minot Massachusetts. The tower is a submarine spotting tower leftover from world war two.
No Equalizer 3? It's the best one! 🎉
Every time you see Pedro Pascal in anything, he’s automatically the bad guy
The first one was a little better because he was mysterious. We didn't KNOW what he could do - he just did it and we were amazed, and were trying to figure out what else could he do. This one, we KNEW what he could do, so it wasn't a surprise when he did it, so we only mystery was HOW was he going to do it.
LOL, I still listen to the radio, because there's a really cool station here in Colorado that is all funded by listeners. So they play whatever they want. There's a lot of good music on that station. But I agree, the first one was a bit better. And I totally forgot that Pedro Pascal was the villain.
At times I do wonder if it's a typical American thing laughing out loud whilst watching violent scenes in a movie. Like "oh wow", "hahaha" and so on.
If you guys weren't almost constantly jabbering throughout the movie, you wouldn't have wondered who Dave began working for after the agency shut his unit down. You would've heard him say, "I went private right after." meaning he became a self-employed contract killer.
Here is another GREAT!!!! Denzel movie no one talks about. "Fallen" I don't know why it's not thought of when we think of him. It is very much worth a watch.
Fallen is pretty awesome. I wouldn't mind if they Made a sequel
@@Akkatlah I agree if Denzel is in it.
@@vincemac2223 spoilers*
I was thinking about his brorher's son seeking vengeance against Azazel. Denzel's son is a good actor and he could play the part. Denzel himself could show up in flashbacks
@@Akkatlah yeah possibly bring back the female character that helped Debzel with research to help his son
Also your right I forgot how it ended. Denzel would have to be in flashbacks or helping from the itherside somehow
Yeah i would definitely recommend man on fire very emotional and great movie in my opinion
Have you guys seen "Man on Fire" if you do a reaction make sure you have plenty of tissues. Glory and Training Day are two movies he won Oscars for and I think "Man on Fire" he should have won an Oscar.
Cutting the dope is what you were aiming for and they were making crack….so I was told😮. Lol. Keep it up guys, love ur channel!!!!
If you like Denzel Washington, try "Deja Vu." It's an excellent adventure movie about time travel. The premise is that the US government accidentally discovered how to do surveillance on previous time periods and then kept it as a secret intelligence tool. By the end of the movie, it's developed into full fledged time travel.
There are two lesser known action movies that I recommend if you haven't seen them already: The Accountant starring Ben Affleck and Lockout starring Guy Pearce.
The powder was flour, btw. Also, he told them where to find him. Still, y'all payed attention way more than I did on my first watch of the movie.
You guys are the perfect couple. I love your reactions,you guys are lucky to have each other.
Sometimes a movie will give you the details. Just watch lol
Also those dudes in the beginning said, "give yourself a tip.." He did $16 as to not draw attention to himself.
16 seconds 😏 to render justice!
"Boom box probably wasn't the right term." No, it was the right term. 😆
29:37 A decocked 1911 . that's totally safe. If this was intentional , thats some attention to detail
The thing that never gets addressed in his movies is that normal people don’t walk around in that kind of shape
They have to be assassins
I really loved Fallen with Denzel.
Remember the Titans is pretty good
Just one more month and Equalizer 3 is ON!
You were spot on about her getting killed and Pedro being involved, good one 👍🏻
This one gave you more indication of who Robert was also what unit in the military he served in. This one felt a lot more personal on the on behalf of Susan being killed by his own unit. His own men do pretty much became mercs or Soldiers of fortune. Listen, how Dave tries to justify why he and the rest of them do what they do. It's typical we see this a lot in movies that are based in military or movies. Based where the bad guys form a military or something like that. And they go back to the government. Gives us a name, tell us that's the bad guy that was in the enemy. And then when the job is all done, they give you AA pattern to back and send you on your way. Typical things like that always, you know, stand out. And we've seen that kind of storytelling before, but haven't said that this one was more personal. Robert had to come to grips with his past and find solace in balancing his past. One of his main paths, mistakes is seeing what happened to his men. His men became like I said mercs for hire. The funniest thing is I knew Dave was on it. The moment I saw him I'm just like not he's, he's a part of it. I want I saw this movie with my brother in theaters. He, we were just like, yeah, he's a bad guy. You he, he's the one that's set everything up. Probably one of my favorite moments in the movie is the same between. Robert and miles where he talks about miles. Got talent and I love that scene where I don't wanna care. I don't care about you environment. I don't care about what the white man aint give you. You got town and use it, you don't know what death is. I love that scene so much, it it. It is such a beautiful scene. It's like a father talking to a son who is string from his path. But the father's gettin him back on the path. Robert was a father figured to miles. The other side stories are good too. But avenging Susan and miles is story really made the movie feel a lot more homage to the TV series.
At least for me, the first one did have a thematic aspect of making the main character Robert McCall seem so much more cool and the dynamic of cat and mouse between him and Teddy Rensen (the Russian gang representative sent to the United States) made him such a compelling character. I think as you mentioned, in the second movie they focused on Robert's existing relationships and took screen time to show the history. While this may make the story personal, it doesn't necessarily convey the feeling of (this guy is a badas* character).
Basically, in the first film there were scenes where you psychologically are compelled to root for him more like when he brutally took down corrupt cops, recovered his coworker's ring, shut down a money laundering area, etc. In this one, you had some of those scenes too but the focus was much more on empathizing with Robert McCall rather than simply being the mysterious vigilante hero.
All the movies franchise in the world.. The First OG film always have a special place in our hearts, no matter how good the sequel or prequel is..
guys , when u r man u'll always luv the 1st one because it is logical and if u r women u'll luv the 2nd because it is emotional.
Best . . . ending . . . ever . . . hard not to cry when the old man is reunited with his sister . . .
Flower in the air is what caused The Great Fire of London.
I lasted seven (7) minutes with the two of you as you giggled and snorted and chortled at this movie.. seven minutes was being kind .. One & done. 👋🏻
I couldn't upvote this enough. Can you imagine being in a movie theater with these two chuckleheads??
@@joannamason5472you forget you're watching a "REACTION" channel if you wanted them to watch a movie with no input go watch it yourself.....both of you look stupid rn
I would assume that if they were in a theater they would be respectful and watch the movie like everyone else. This is their channel, a reaction channel, and are in their own living room reacting to a movie. It's what reaction channels do. Also, this isn't an airport, so you don't have to announce your departure.
@@MarkJ1776 You can defend them all you want but when they create a channel to solicit the time and attentions of people to react to their reactions, they're going to receive feedback from it. It's their channel so let them own all of it (including the critiques).
so y'all missed the fact that HE PUT THE AD UP ON CRAIGSLIST
Dust is Flammable, One of the 1st things you learn in a armored vehicle in the desert is to not light a match or lighter while inside a sealed vehicle that is full of airborne dust.. BOOM ! take some powdered creamer and sprinkle over a flame .. watch what happens .. :-D
I actually like the second one much more than the first. Thanks for the reaction.
Flour dust or sugar dust is the tops of dust explosions. Textile factories explode too.
You absolutely cannot watch E3 without seeing Man on Fire, first.
When you do finally watch the 3rd movie it ties everything together in an unexpectant way. You really need to watch it!
In the military, we refer to acquiring weapons and equipment as "Strategically Transfering Equipment to Alternate Locations."
S.T.E.A.L., for short
Also, can confirm aerosolized sugar or flour is explosive at the right air ratios.
