The set pieces are amazing, so well done. The first home invasion was brilliant.

Canceled my pre-order of the Blackhat Blu-Ray until I'm absolutely sure it contains the director's cut. The current product description only says "the US and international versions of the film," and there's only one small cut that differentiates those two. Details here.

He must have liked working with Driver, since he's rumored to play the young De Niro in Heat 2.

That was back in April, though; there's been some back-and-forth since then. First it was (they had found the digital elements), then it wasn't, the rollout's been delayed by several months...I'm pessimistic at this point but if it does turn out to be included (at one point a second disc was mentioned), I'll buy it in an instant.
― read-only (unperson), Thursday, 24 August 2023 15:57 (nine months ago) link
It took me *forever* to find a copy of the director's cut online. I've got it but still haven't watched it, this just isn't one of my favorites.

You really need to watch it. The director's cut is honestly one of his best movies.
― read-only (unperson), Thursday, 24 August 2023 16:24 (nine months ago) link
Doesn't it mostly just move the chronology of a couple of major scenes around? Will it matter that I don't remember much about the theatrical cut, beyond the broad strokes? Like, I remember a lot, but it's not adding up to much in my brain.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 24 August 2023 17:57 (nine months ago) link
The reshuffling of scenes (and a few lines of dialogue) really turn it into a whole different movie, though, raising the stakes more gradually and in a much more organic fashion. Plus, the goddamn thing looks amazing. The digital cinematography is some of his best work, not bleary in the same way as Miami Vice or Collateral, but still weirdly dreamlike at times.
― read-only (unperson), Thursday, 24 August 2023 18:15 (nine months ago) link
I'll get on at ASAP. I haven't seen the whole thing since it was in theaters, when I didn't like it. A while back I tried to rewatch the theatrical cut and didn't make it very far.

Apparently the 1955 LeMans disaster seen in this movie is extremely accurate to the actual event, in terms of grisliness at least. I think he talks a bit about that in the interview Raymond linked upthread.

Love Mann, dgaf about cars, let alone Ferraris. Be funny, though, if this movie had no dialogue, just three hours of revving.

Josh, that did occur to me when watching. Wouldn’t that be something?

Public Enemies popped up on Netflix so I tried re-watching it tonight and...nope. Filming a movie set in the 1930s on shaky, hand-held digital cameras, with anachronistic soundtrack music, was a bad idea in the early 2000s and it remains a bad idea now. Just piss-poor execution of a barely interesting idea (did the world need another movie about John Dillinger, especially one starring Johnny Depp?). Without having seen The Keep, I'm willing to call this Mann's worst movie.

Watching “Manhunter” tonight, finally.
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 22 September 2023 22:27 (eight months ago) link
rescreened that recently, it's a truly distilled version of the best aspects of Silence of the Lambs (though not quite as good in some ways.) It's genuinely creepy especially during the first half -- there's something about the policework in this film as they're trying to narrow things down which really worked for me a lot better this time, and something about the almost-corporate style of the feds as they work the case, fruitless meetings in office buildings, jetting all over the southeast, making tactical errors in public while the killer is operating in the shadows and they have zero leads, it's all really compelling stuff.
― omar little, Friday, 22 September 2023 23:11 (eight months ago) link
I love Manhunter. Red Dragon is actually not bad and closer to the book but Ralph Fiennes is completely wrong for the Tooth Fairy and I didn't buy Norton as Graham whereas Petersen looks like a shattered human being throughout.
Also Noonan as Tooth Fairy rules, even if his signature scene is a meme now

Whereas Fiennes was a sexy, chiseled, fresh out of LA Fitness Tooth Fairy.
I actually thought (incorrectly) that he couldn't act after I saw him in Red Dragon.
Manhunter is just shot so well. Those scenes of Graham isolated in his hotel looking at evidence, with a look like "this might kill me this time"
