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?

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

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 love pinfold cricket (gbx), Friday, October 7, 2011

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.

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".

sequel Drive 2: Keep On Drivin'

( ) (mh), Monday, 10 October 2011 18:14 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 10 October 2011 19:00 (thirteen years ago) link

Not sure if it was mentioned up thread but Johnny Jewel (Glass Candy, Chromatics, almost everything IDIB) and one of the Chromatics composed a full score for the film but got rejected. That score will now be used as a soundtrack to another film yet to be released.

i've been playing this soundtrack a lot recently.

cliff martinez's work on contagion was also pretty dope, i thought

Last I heard it was going to be put out on IDIB as the first volume of an instrumental series called Symmetry, for what it's worth

Taxi Driver elements become more pronounced.

lol all i was thinking during this is that it's the movie the chromatics always wanted to do a soundtrack for.

call all destroyer, Friday, 14 October 2011 01:45 (thirteen years ago) link

anyway this was interesting i guess but all the self-conscious attempts to be "different" got really tedious; no case was ever made for what the differences were supposed to be accomplishing. you know how some music videos have like dialog scenes where the music turns down for 30 seconds in the middle of the song and then there's some kind of coda after the song ends? i think the director would have been just as happy making one of those.

You haven't seen this so you're giving a thumbs-up to the snark because it's snarky to Morbs standards, right?

wow, someone who writes for The Awl, BlackBook, The Hairpin, Idolator, Popdust, Thirteen.org, This Recording, and Yahoo, among others is a dumbass

buzza, Friday, 14 October 2011 04:39 (thirteen years ago) link

That's a ridiculously shit take-down of the film. There are much, much better ones, Morbs. Look harder.

for Gukbe:

Fake toughness, fake sentimentality, fake style infected by Michael Mann. Brooding existential stuntman and petty criminal Ryan Gosling is so laconic and cool, he’s inadvertently comic. This second-rate actor occasionally drops his Steve McQueen impersonation and lets slip Mickey Rourke’s old smile.

incredibly middlebrow (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 22 October 2011 14:12 (thirteen years ago) link

I was thinking yesterday, Rourke would have been the one to play this role in the early 80s.

Two Noble Klinsmenn (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 22 October 2011 14:53 (thirteen years ago) link

Haven't seen this either, basing most of my disdain off of Bronson, but that quote's basically true, right? Drive looks like a Mann pastiche.
