Emagine has already pointed out that it would have been happy to refund the cost of the ticket bought by Ms Deming, which is the suit's only demand.

In her suit, which was filed at the sixth judicial circuit court in Oakland, Michigan, Deming says the Nicolas Winding Refn film "bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film ... having very little driving in the motion picture".

Thought this was okay, the dialogue between the Driver and Irene should be redone on XtraNormal.
I totally noticed the chase scene after the pawn shop was filmed on the Santa Susana Pass not far from where the Manson Family lived.

Not sure if it was mentioned up thread but Johnny Jewel (Glass Candy, Chromatics, almost everything IDIB) and one of the Chromatics composed a full score for the film but got rejected. That score will now be used as a soundtrack to another film yet to be released.

i've been playing this soundtrack a lot recently.
cliff martinez's work on contagion was also pretty dope, i thought

Last I heard it was going to be put out on IDIB as the first volume of an instrumental series called Symmetry, for what it's worth

lol all i was thinking during this is that it's the movie the chromatics always wanted to do a soundtrack for.

anyway this was interesting i guess but all the self-conscious attempts to be "different" got really tedious; no case was ever made for what the differences were supposed to be accomplishing. you know how some music videos have like dialog scenes where the music turns down for 30 seconds in the middle of the song and then there's some kind of coda after the song ends? i think the director would have been just as happy making one of those.

You haven't seen this so you're giving a thumbs-up to the snark because it's snarky to Morbs standards, right?

That's a ridiculously shit take-down of the film. There are much, much better ones, Morbs. Look harder.

for Gukbe:
Fake toughness, fake sentimentality, fake style infected by Michael Mann. Brooding existential stuntman and petty criminal Ryan Gosling is so laconic and cool, he’s inadvertently comic. This second-rate actor occasionally drops his Steve McQueen impersonation and lets slip Mickey Rourke’s old smile.
― incredibly middlebrow (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 22 October 2011 14:12 (twelve years ago) link
I was thinking yesterday, Rourke would have been the one to play this role in the early 80s.

i have never and will never forgive Mann for Heat, the dude is a fucking stillborn academic hack
― Two Noble Klinsmenn (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 October 2011 14:53 (twelve years ago) link
Haven't seen this either, basing most of my disdain off of Bronson, but that quote's basically true, right? Drive looks like a Mann pastiche.
― circa1916, Saturday, 22 October 2011 14:54 (twelve years ago) link
awww Bronson is cute and alive, far from perfect but
why the disdain?
― Two Noble Klinsmenn (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 October 2011 14:57 (twelve years ago) link
tryin to think of things that are not to love about 'heat'
― stop muammar time (darraghmac), Saturday, 22 October 2011 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
it crams 20 minutes of banal story into 3 hours, it centres around a confrontation that doesn't really happen between 2 actors 10 years past their best, it hates women, it has that fucking hilarious line about closure
― Two Noble Klinsmenn (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 October 2011 15:05 (twelve years ago) link
Felt like a well-made student film. All those Kubrick nods. Like it was trying just REALLY hard to be this cool, arty violent cult film. Just found it obnoxious.

yeah i guessed :)
dunno if i cd argue with most of those criticisms but as i say i thought its chutzpah and Tom Hardy carried it well past its deficiencies, plus a lot of its world felt real to me, i was sympathetic

'nother discussion about whether a movie can 'hate' anything tbh, cf wilde on a book being either well written or badly written, nothing more
― stop muammar time (darraghmac), Saturday, 22 October 2011 15:08 (twelve years ago) link
the women thing was a snide minor niggle about Mann aside tbh, most of my objections are purely writerly
― Two Noble Klinsmenn (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 October 2011 15:10 (twelve years ago) link
i enjoy stuff that isn't "about" anything, i enjoy epic mode, i like shiny bright cinematography, i just think Mann takes the deadest bits of all these things and then deadens them some more.
he's not as bad as Christopher Nolan tbf
― Two Noble Klinsmenn (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 October 2011 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
yeah nolan should make christmas tree baubles tbh
― stop muammar time (darraghmac), Saturday, 22 October 2011 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
this was p boring eh.
someone's already made the point somewhere in this thread but it really should've been kill rather than drive. i liked the killings though, so there's that.
ryan gosling is never actually going to act again is he? just going to be dreamy in stuff.

Nolan and Mann cd maybe be cool directors of other people's scripts, Refn's might be trying to do studied cool but ends up feeling more irreverent, sillier and funner imo
― Two Noble Klinsmenn (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 October 2011 15:17 (twelve years ago) link
refn doesn't hold 20 mins of bad plot together as well as mann, tbh
