Raymond that Oppenheimer trailer is the best one yet
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 30 August 2023 15:32 (eight months ago) link
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.

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.

Warning everyone now - I grew up in a family that competed in amateur sports car rallys so I know the story and can, with certainty, affirm that this is 100% my jam.

Watching âManhunterâ tonight, finally.
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 22 September 2023 22:27 (seven 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.

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"

Once âFerrariâ has been out for a few months, can we re-poll?
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 23 September 2023 13:03 (seven months ago) link
Just watched the Ferrari trailer. Driver is kind of odd casting considering he's a full 20 years younger than Enzo Ferrari was when the movie takes place and needed to have his hair dyed gray for the role. (Or maybe it's a wig.) On the other hand, his last name is Driver.

Great actor but clearly a case of needing a big name attached.

the Frank Grillo Lamborghini film didn't exactly make waves even though "grill" was right there in his name.

Frank Grillo should get the McCauley role in Heat 2.

Rewatched Thief last night. Haven't seen it since sometime in the last century and goddamn, WHAT A MOVIE. Things I never noticed before: Second City founder Del Close as one of the mechanics at the car lot. Willie Dixon as the fisherman out by the lake. Frank trying to light a cigarette before the conversation with Jessie at the diner before giving up and agressively/nervously playing with it.
Ms. T's comment: "did he just hire real criminals as the supporting cast? I feel like I'm watching the real thing." Yes, indeed.

Blackhat Blu-Ray arrived in today's mail; I just re-watched the director's cut and yeah, it's top five Mann for me.
1) Thief2) Miami Vice director's cut3) Heat4) Blackhat director's cut5) Manhunter
6) The Insider7) Collateral999) Public Enemies
I still haven't seen The Last of the Mohicans, Ali or The Keep.

Yeah, I hated Blackhat when I saw it in the theaters. Tried the director's cut some months back, but I didn't make it very far, because 95% of the movie is the same and I just wasn't feeling it.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 December 2023 16:45 (five months ago) link
Actually, wait, I'm still confused. There's a Neon boxed set that contains Mann's "Ferrari," even though it hasn't been released yet?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 December 2023 17:17 (five months ago) link
I think it's a For Your Consideration box sent out to movie critics.
― Tahuti Watches L&O:SVU Reruns Without His Ape (unperson), Tuesday, 5 December 2023 17:19 (five months ago) link
Oh, well, that makes sense. I thought it was some official Neon boxed set, not a box of year-end screeners.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 December 2023 17:22 (five months ago) link
people like the Miami Vice directorâs cut better? I thought it didnât really add much. Blackhat one is better for the plot, although I see why they reconfigured it for pacing reasons. the order of the hacks/crimes in the theatrical release is muddled
― É„ÉŻ ïž” (°âĄÂ°) (mh), Tuesday, 5 December 2023 17:39 (five months ago) link
I prefer the theatrical "Miami Vice," which has one of the best cold opens of all time.
I have some fan-assembled mock DC of "The Keep" I'm been meaning to watch.
The DCs of "Ali" and "Mohicans" are both good, but I honestly can't remember the theatrical versions or what's different.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 December 2023 17:48 (five months ago) link
Haven't seen the Blackhat director's cut but Miami Vice's theatrical version feels superior to the director's version

miami vice dc has more 360 degree shots of boats so i prefer it. cold open of the theatrical is classic tho
