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

danish people are so weird

you expect them to be really normal and easygoing cause their country is like social democracy most advanced society on planet type shit, but theyre just weirdos

swedes too

i love refn so i expect to love this as well

if i was giving refn a life home and he started crying when reo speedwagon came on, i don't know what i'd do.

OK, didn't realize til skimming the Scott and Edelstein pans what a gorefest this is. Planning to skip.

Already weeping at the uninformed interjections you'll be slipping into the detritus thread in three months' time.

Oops, I meant detrius.

Not gonna blackmail me into any more inglourious timewasters, BUB!

(I let Ed have it for that I'm Not There joke yesterday, I meant to CC you)

Well you can spend your time during next year's Oscarcast whacking off to your Criterion DVD of Design for Living then.

And not watching horror movies c. 2000-2011

I don't even like that one, particularly. (Gary Cooper) xp

whacking off to Gary Cooper is a horror movie.

also, I only behave that way at parties if they're in the basement.

People actually watch Noel Coward movies at parties now and not just in the shame of their lame solitude? I feel ill; need to go watch A Serbian Film now to get my equilibrium back.

in which Eric serves

damn, I hope you used better lines than this on TV's Frank!

The Lubitch film of DoL, anecdotally, used one line of dialogue from the Coward play.

in which Eric serves

You got Ernst'd

I do like it when Cooper stabs Fredric March in the eye with a fork (Oscarworthy)

I'd like that irl

really dark, too gory 4 sure but like bronson there'er some great scenes & refn is v skilled @ building tension. sound design & soundtrack are a+

he does appear to like his monotonous sequencers doesn't he

this will be my first time seeing a refn film (also never watched carey mulligan or gosling in anything)

also really want to see brooks be scary

On the phone from his home in Copenhagen, Drive director Refn says he "always wanted" Brooks for the role, but he still asked that the actor make his case for the part in person.

"There are certain things that I've wanted to do," Brooks says. "And one of them is to play a guy that's that guy — I don't like to call him a bad guy. I went to see Nicolas. [I said], 'You can go with the six people that are the bad guys in every movie ever made' — and I knew he wanted to hear this, because he asked me to come to his house — 'But, to me, it's more exciting when I don't know that I know everything that's going to happen when a guy comes on-screen.'

"So Nicolas liked that, and he said, 'You know, when I was a young man, I watched that movie Lost in America and I saw you yelling at your wife, and it scared the hell out of me.' And I said, 'OK, that's good.'"

"Albert was like a volcano of emotions," Refn remembers, laughing. "There was something really unique — and threatening. I felt that this guy, eventually, he will kill somebody — so let's make it in a movie."

^^^good idea for dark sequel to lost in america

Projecting a #3 for the weekend at 11m. I think a midnight screening will be empty enough for me to see it tonight, after roadworks held me up in traffic and I missed an earlier screening.

yeah i was thinking abt just going to see this tonight since im feeling to sick to go out properly

I like the thought of Morbs trying to find reasons not to see a movie and scrolling through the RT "Top Critics" section and finding the 2 Splats as enough justification to skip.

Nicolas Winding Refn sought advice from Gaspar Noé on how to make brutal and realistic facial damage.

wtg Nick

that a movie is made for nerds who fetishize 'hypermasculine' slick violence is usu reason enough, Guk

ie THAT'S A BINGO

what about people who like thrillers?

...or cars?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046268/

or, y'know, The Driver.

guess people should stop making movies

just empty ones

so is the problem that it's empty or that it's gory?

htfdik

btw RT Top Critics are mostly syphilitic dumbshits.

then why are their reviews enough to convince you to skip it?

you are annoying me; ta

we really need an opens-umbrella-spins-on-heel-walks-away.gif for these moments

Films that are likely to be unmorbs are obvious and he can tell immediately.

TA!

some people find it hard to admit that they just don't like a certain type of thing.

What does this movie make you think and feel about Los Angeles?

that the clippers are relevant

hmmm

Sometimes I don't know for sure I really truly liked a movie until morbs starts slamming it unseen.

let's face it, he's a maniac

He'll kill us all.

Har, I went and saw Shoeshine in rep tonight instead of this. Morbs would've been proud.

i doubt drive is less "empty" than the driver. i love a film that is 100% style/technique
