The King's Man (2021)
This might be the briefest "Ways Not To Die" post ever, but since it does constitute a spoiler for a just-released movie I decided to just focus on what matters -- da splat! I didn't love this flick when I watched it two night's ago but I do love a good splat, and this one's excellent. Also you can't really tell since I did edit out the identity of the splatter but they're wearing Plaid Pants -- this was meant to be. Anybody seen this movie yet? Like I said a big meh from me for the most part, give or take some fun action sequences and the always excellent Ralph Fiennes... Harris Dickenson's purdy mouth... oh and Aaron Taylor-Johnson shows up for two minutes with a mustache. That was nice. Matthew Vaughn's movies are always a little bit gayer than they let on right? Coulda been gayer though! (If that's not always true.) On that note hit the jump for the links to all our previous "Ways Not To Die" posts...
