Warning bells going off left and right for me on Warrior, as they should be for you and Drive, Morbs.

A shame, tho, because Tom Hardy's about the only one to rival my love for Gosling lately ... when he's not disgustingly puffed up like he is in Warrior.

I like the Australian dude more, tho I have no memory of him in two Sith Wars movies. I do think that any film that inspires AO Scott to write "Sometimes you just have to strip down to your shorts and beat somebody senseless" should be patronized.Then again, I have no time to see 'regular' movies.

"Sometimes you just have to strip down to your shorts and beat somebody senseless"
Wouldn't you just prefer to do that yourself? I have absolutely no desire to see movies about rock climbing.

i shouldnt attempt to speak for morbs but i have my doubts whether the manporn quotient will be enough to overcome the fact that it's a sentimental uplifting sports movie. but, i would be delighted if he dug it too~!

He also told the story of getting Ryan Gosling to do the film, for which he didn’t yet have the story. They went to dinner, and Winding-Refn, who doesn’t drive, asked Gosling to drive him home.
“There was this awkward silence between us. Ryan turns on the radio. It’s soft rock -- REO Speedwagon, ‘I can’t fight this feeling.’ And I start to cry. Literally. Tears falling down my cheek.
“Ryan is thinking how the fuck do I get him out of my car? And I start singing the song. It’s foreplay. I’m really into it. I slapped my knee. And turned to Ryan in car, and I scream in his face, music so loud -- I got it!
“It’s a man driving around in a car at night listening to music, that’s his emotional release.”
That became the film, "Drive," which opens in the fall.

A shocking video is now making its way around the Internet. The video involves a man who was under police suspicion for selling drugs, even though he wasn’t selling anything illegal. The man, Donald Andrews Jr., ran a smoke shop in Schenectady County, New York.
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 21 August 2013 19:27 (ten years ago) link
The title is the English meaning of the city of Schenectady, New York, which is derived loosely from a Mohawk word for "place beyond the pine plains."[6][7]
movie was good, a plot was a little too cute by half but i dug the acting, the pacing, the structure
i dug the modern day part of it because of how nicely observed the interactions between the two kids was - felt p true to how teenage boys talk to each other
it was almost a little bit uncomfortable to me how much aj mimiced people who i had known growing up, then i found out that the actor who played aj went to uarts in philly
