Is there not yet a thread for DRIVE, the forthcoming Ryan Gosling vehicle (geddit)?

^^I rescreened it on dvd the other day. Forgot how much Adjani's part consisted of looking alternately cool & scared in the cab of pickup.

i love that the descrip on the youtube vid is "the full movie of the driver enjoy"

the font was fucking awesome

yeah adjani is just there to look pretty, but then again so is ryan o'neal (who has always struck me as a ridiculous actor). the romantic stuff in the film is completely superfluous.

i like the driver but i feel like it doesn't go all the way in the minimalist direction that is it's raison d'etre, and if it doesn't go all the way it's sort of a problem since going all the way is the point.

it's = its

I cannot comprehend ron perlman really

I've only seen o'neal in Barry Lyndon, so i probably have a very distorted view of his effectiveness.

one other thing i liked about this movie was how it was very self-referentially about Refn himself "going hollywood."

"what do you do?"

"i drive... for movies"

The romantic subplot is ridiculously vague. Of course, it's roughly xeroxed from the Delon/Rossier plotline in Le samourai, minus Melville's symbolism.

Having looked at both of those films after catching Drive, it reinforced one of things I found most refreshing about the new film: No cops. (Aside from the opening chase & Mulligan's interview after the blown heist). It's all about these underworld types slowly self-destructing.

that makes me think of ghost dog

you know: the way of the samurai

oh THAT ghost dog

congratulations congratulations that was the joke

oh THAT was the joke

congratulation

hey guys i think we can all agree the prequel, GHOST DOG: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD, is best forgotten

No love for Strongo Hulkington's Ghost Dog Part Deaux?

this was BOSS

but yeah this is otm

q about the opening sequence: did he just ditch those dudes in the parking garage? like was he bailing or was that a job done?

I think that was the end of the job?

ah ok. i assumed as much, it just seemed like the dudes in the backseat were a little "wait what are we doing here"

maybe they're saving that for the sequel

he was past his 5 minute mark, he said explicitly anything that happens after that isn't his business, so I think he was just getting out of there. I assume they got caught. maybe not though.

the five minutes was for outside the place, no?

yeah p sure that's the case

Guy who's in charge of the pawn shop job knows the score basically. Gosling's character is too hard to work wih

job done.

timed precisely to get them into the Staples Center garage just as the Laker game ends (seen on his TV at halftime in establishing). silver impala now one of hundreds. all three blend into crowd and walk out whistling.

I kind of liked that you couldn't tell if the other two dudes got out ok

it was the Clippers iirc

Oh right. It was. Still: perfect getaway.

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".

here's a vdo for u bb

sequel Drive 2: Keep On Drivin'

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.

the dialogue between the Driver and Irene should be redone on XtraNormal.

omg yes this needs to happen

Loved this and the soundtrack

I want the soundtrack
