Chopper > Bronson iirc

it's like this movie was produced in the eighties. Kinda like action films, sexy stuff. One critic called them European. I thought they were shit.

^ line from chopper, fyi

i would've liked the chopper but it was so obviously derivative of the driver.

Don't sell it short, there's a lot of Thief & To Live & Die in L.A. in this, too

I may rewatch this tonight when I get back from a hockey game, in the dark, sipping scotch if I am in the mood

btw I have no idea (well, some idea) why they didn't use the superior movie poster art for the cover of the home release. The DVD/BIu-Ray cover is dumb.

this was also fulfilling in its LA-ness, yeah, and also made me want to drive (montreal does not make me want to drive)
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Saturday, 4 February 2012 22:30 (twelve years ago) link
but does it make you want to Drive

yesi mean no

hey girl
― mh, Saturday, 4 February 2012 22:40 (twelve years ago) link
hahaa it took me a good 20 minutes into the film to stop mentally inserting 'hey girl' into every one of gosling's gestures. if he'd actually had any dialogue in those 20 minutes, i'm not sure i would've made it through.

it was a good lesson for me about too much internet
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Saturday, 4 February 2012 22:44 (twelve years ago) link
so this director's other movies are nothing less than fucking violent, eh

maybe if i was with someone but it is all too much to watch it alone
and i am the queen of watching movies alone!

proud that i really hv no idea what the 'hey girl' thing is

never thought when I saw Gosling play a Jewish neo-Nazi in his first (and only good) starring role that he'd wind up as the male A.Jolie.

I don't mean Al Jolson btw
(who obv made more good movies)
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 12 February 2012 00:43 (twelve years ago) link
for a movie in wide-open landscapes it can be pretty tense at times!

^ assume this refers to valhalla rising? cuz a lot of drive takes place in claustrophobic interiors.
― Little GTFO (contenderizer), Sunday, 12 February 2012 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
yes, valhalla rising
― valleys of your mind (mh), Sunday, 12 February 2012 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
i did not watch more of it. maybe another time... in another hot tub...
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Sunday, 12 February 2012 03:12 (twelve years ago) link
if it helps, the most violentest bits are at the beginning and the end. and some in the middle, but less.

There's nothing like driving in LA, btw. It's so sexy, so fun, so edgy and now. This movie really captured it. It was social realism for us Angelenos.

I watched this movie at midday in Alhambra

I drive a Yaris, btw
it'd be more helpful if you swing by next time I'm doing it and just slow tilt the camera a few times

I only remember him checking a watch once, maybe twice, in the film

i think it was a few times - he puts it on his steering wheel
