I preordered this on blu-ray, think it's shipped, I'm hyped. HYPED

I have thought about this movie a lot in the last month since I first saw it. To me that has to be a good thing.

Actually I have no idea how I'll feel on second viewing, but I really enjoyed Refn's other films I got around to watching
― mh, Monday, 30 January 2012 15:30 (twelve years ago) link
As of August 2011, Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn was attached to direct the remake of Logan's Run with actor Ryan Gosling attached to star.[17] Refn and Gosling had recently worked together on the 2011 thriller Drive.

>Logan's Run with actor Ryan Gosling attached to star
See, this could be amazing or ghastly, don't think there's much chance of middle ground. <3 the original.
>preordered this on blu-ray
Yup, just awaiting delivery of mine; Apparently the blu has a phenomenal transfer, am looking fwd to cranking up College etc on the surround sound too.

Bronson was great, kind of a flawed film but a really great vision and showcase for Tom Hardy
I just about lost my shit when I was at the liquor store last week and "It's a Sin" by the Pet Shop Boys came on. Can never hear it again without remembering that scene from Bronson.
― mh, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:05 (twelve years ago) link
What is this Bronson? Should I see it?
― ENBB, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
It is a pseudo-biopic about a crazy violent British man who keeps getting imprisoned and/or committed starring Tom Hardy. And yeah, he takes the name Bronson after Charles Bronson.
So, yes.
― mh, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
yes you should see it, it is his best film imo.
― caek, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:38 (twelve years ago) link
Nice. Will do.
― ENBB, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:39 (twelve years ago) link
Should I see "Kill List"? Tyres is in this, right?
― Put another Juggle in, in the Juggalodeon (kingfish), Monday, 30 January 2012 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
xp there's a lot more violence than drive if that's an issue, but it's kind of constant low level fighting and swearing rather than skulls and hammers 60 minutes into a moving tumblr
― caek, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
am0n, no
read Refn and Goz are doing some other non-Logan's Run film next

x-post - Nah, shouldn't be a problem. With the exception the head stomping elevator scene, the violence in Drive didn't really bother me.
― ENBB, Monday, 30 January 2012 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
i have 'pusher 3' added to my netflix, do those need to be watched in order
― joepa mi pinga (am0n), Monday, 30 January 2012 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
Hmm, another crime thriller, eh?
― Put another Juggle in, in the Juggalodeon (kingfish), Monday, 30 January 2012 16:51 (twelve years ago) link
Liked Drive, despite having several issues with it, so i decided to check out Bronson. Big mistake.
― Number None, Monday, 30 January 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
valhalla rising, y'all
― ⚓ (gr8080), Monday, 30 January 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
^^ really good but not at all what I expected. It's so dreamlike.
― mh, Monday, 30 January 2012 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
yup. my favorite of the 3 refn films i've seen (chopper, VH & drive). like if om's conference of the birds was a movie about vikings.

Yeah VR is better than Drive, for sure.
― Simon H., Monday, 30 January 2012 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
I'm guessing you've confused Chopper (which is a much better film) with Bronson, contenderizer)?
― Number None, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link
Should I see "Kill List"?
Yes.
Love Bronson, really impressed with Drive, but I still think Fear X is Refyn's best film. John Turturro is really great in the central role of a security guard who becomes obsessed with tracking down his wife's killer. It's slow-building, but gets increasingly tense as we follow Turturro's character's descent into a type of mental disintegration. Some scenes - like the one where he breaks into a house in search of clues - are heart-in-mouth gripping. Others are tinged with a dark surrealism, especially when Harry checks into a (strangely Barton Fink-esque) hotel where reality and nightmarish fantasy overlap. It's less Kubrick this one, more Lynch doing Hitchcock. It rules.
― DavidM, Monday, 30 January 2012 21:19 (twelve years ago) link
Harry = Turturro's character.
― DavidM, Monday, 30 January 2012 21:20 (twelve years ago) link
god, Kill List was so bad
― Number None, Monday, 30 January 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link
Brilliant film.
― DavidM, Monday, 30 January 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link
sure, for an incoherent mish-mash that hides its lack of a proper script behind some bullshit attempt at being enigmatic
― Number None, Monday, 30 January 2012 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
lol yeah, and VH was supposed to be VR.
wonder if anyone else sees something quasi-fascist in chopper, valhalla rising, and drive. a romanticized, even eroticized celebration of "natural" and violent masculine stoicism in opposition to the hypocrisy of corrupt civilization. the image of the primeval male: inarticulate, simple, steadfast and morally untainted, his alienation proving his purity. VR and drive double down on this by emphasizing man-boy relationships, adding a heroic sentimentality to the mix.
― his hands are a dirty fountain through which lives spurt (contenderizer), Monday, 30 January 2012 22:05 (twelve years ago) link
have you confused chopper again?
― caek, Monday, 30 January 2012 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
guilty. someone made the comparison upthread, and the wires apparently got crossed in my head. there are lots of wires, btw, most of them uninsulated.
anyway, the thing to do is to read the preceding post as written, but mentally substitute the word "bronson" for the word "chopper". for example: wonder if anyone else sees something quasi-fascist in bronson, valhalla rising, and drive.
― his hands are a dirty fountain through which lives spurt (contenderizer), Monday, 30 January 2012 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
i think its a stretch to fit chopper into that schema, the movie is pretty skeptical of c. read in a lot of ways
valhalla rising and bronson are both in the interestin-but-flawed category for me. i think they're both kinda boring tbh. bronson's a great perf in search of a great movie. VR should be right in my wheelhouse since its about building cairns and also how odin is the one true god, but again, eh, maybe i shouldve seen it in the theater. some of the images are really striking
― Hungry4Ass, Monday, 30 January 2012 22:34 (twelve years ago) link
oh heh missed that you meant bronson
are bronson and chopper the same film?
― caek, Monday, 30 January 2012 22:38 (twelve years ago) link
choppers a lot better imo
― Hungry4Ass, Monday, 30 January 2012 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
depends who you ask
― his hands are a dirty fountain through which lives spurt (contenderizer), Monday, 30 January 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
Chopper > Bronson iirc
― Simon H., Monday, 30 January 2012 23:20 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Sébastien, Monday, 30 January 2012 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
^ line from chopper, fyi
― his hands are a dirty fountain through which lives spurt (contenderizer), Monday, 30 January 2012 23:52 (twelve years ago) link
i would've liked the chopper but it was so obviously derivative of the driver.

i really liked this, ridiculous and sublimeall that slow tension violently punctuated, oof
and the soundtrack was great 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
― mh, Saturday, 4 February 2012 22:03 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― mh, Saturday, 4 February 2012 22:04 (twelve years ago) link
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
