Jumjax™ Database: New Additions
Double digits! 10 weeks of updates.
- Films and Television Shows That Utilize Jumping Jacks
- Films and Television Shows That Do Not Utilize Jumping Jacks
The newly added titles are as follows:
Terminator Genisys (2015) - 126 minutes
Time travel! Another flick for the time travel database (not an actual database, just a joke). This one doesn't have Evangeline Lilly, unfortunately. And it doesn't have jumping jacks either. Kind of weird, since jumping jacks were a big hit in the 80s, which is when this movie partially takes place. Plenty of opportunity to put in jumping jacks, and none of them used. Call me crazy, but I think terminators need to keep themselves limber, and to make sure every "muscle" is working at capacity, a jumping jack would be a great stress test. 1/10. Not recommended.
John Wick: Capter 3 - Parabellum (1943) - 79 minutes
Lots of fighting and violence. Hitmen fighting hitmen, guns, knives, horses. It really had a lot going, but amidst all that action, couldn't find a moment to show a jumping jack. Gross violence, sure. Guys getting their privates smashed, yes. Jumping jacks? Nope. Here's an idea: John Wick pops out a few quick jumping jacks to get his blood pumping before going into a fight. Or maybe to jazz himself back up after getting his wound fixed by the doctor. Or maybe we see some bodyguards do some jumping jacks to keep their focus and energy levels up. Maybe if they had done some jumping jacks, they wouldn't have been massacred by John Wick and his lady friend and her dogs. 1/10. Not recommended.
Game of Thrones (2011-2019): Season 8, Episode 6 [TV]
I didn't actually watch this episode but I know if I did I would just be disappointed by the lack of jumping jacks. If someone watches it and they do have jumping jacks I will plead for forgiveness, but I have a sixth sense about these things and I know there aren't any jumping jacks. Poor show. Really didn't live up to the hype. Everyone rants and raves about this show, but you don't see that kind of audience energy for Corporate (2018-), a show that was willing to take the jump and show Jumjax™ on television. Maybe jumping jacks are just for the more intelligent, niche audience. Might re-evaluate my search pattern. 1/10. Not recommended. Does anyone know if the earlier seasons had jumping jacks? I am overall disappointed this season didn't live up to the hype. And there were so many good opportunities to utilize jumping jacks.
You can't always win.
xxoo, always yours
