You know what I really liked about this movie?
Wait for it
The DRIVING!

Me too! would've watched a whole movie of gosling driving tbh
― Trewster Dare (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 03:35 (eleven years ago) link
The opening chase-that's-not-actually-a-chase was cool as fuck. Such a great idea for an action scene -- stop and start, non-linear evasion, sort of like a car ninja.
― Will Chave (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 03:39 (eleven years ago) link
Man, that sounded even stupider than I thought it would.
― Will Chave (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 03:50 (eleven years ago) link
reminded me of the semi-chase in Way of the Gun.

Possibly the worst female character in cinema history. I'm sure this has all been addressed above but w/e.
― Will Chave (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 12:13 (eleven years ago) link
Need to watch Way of the Gun again. I can never remember what happens after the first 25 minutes.

How did he find a parking space so quick inside Staples Arena? Didn't he need to get a ticket at the entrance first?

The soundtrack is so good. I want the pink one. OOOHHHH!

i liked the overall vibe of the soundtrack but couldn't take that recurring theme song about how he's human or w/e.
― Will Chave (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 14:43 (eleven years ago) link
Go to the ~Drive Tour~ (with a couple of the soundtrack bands and a random other) and see Hurting's fave song performed live.
― your native bacon (mh), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 14:45 (eleven years ago) link
Finally got around to seeing this. Something very LOL 90s indie film about it all. They're not saying anything! Must be some really deep thoughts going on! Except with fantastic driving bits and great soundtrack. Brooks and Cranston were rad.

"What do you do"
"Me make car go fast"
― Will Chave (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 14:48 (eleven years ago) link
ha I love that song.
It's really weird to me that Drive Tour is an actual thing.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 14:51 (eleven years ago) link
Eh, just a good way for a few artists who happened to be on the soundtrack to publicize their tour, afaict
― your native bacon (mh), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 14:57 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah. Still weird.

Could someone confirm if the actual cut of the film had the hacky Eno music cues? Its just been brought to my attention that i may have watched an early cut that was ripped off and having been using that as a basis for some epic cussing
― straightola, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 14:58 (eleven years ago) link
Do you mean actual Eno stuff cut in, or the Cliff Martinez soundtrack?
― your native bacon (mh), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 14:59 (eleven years ago) link
you might be looking for the "did I torrent the release version or prerelease cut of this film" thread
― your native bacon (mh), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 15:00 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that's over on the board People Who Give a Shit
― Will Chave (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 15:05 (eleven years ago) link
there was a pretty widely distributed version with an unfinished score floating about
― Number None, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
that version used a lot of The Social Network score.

btw I hate to ruin it but that wolverine movie didn't have any green walls behind him in the theater

You know what I just realized the opening chase reminds me of? The scene in (is it Empire Strikes Back?) where the milennium falcon cuts the engines and hides under the star destroyer

dont get face tattoos kids
― lag∞n, Saturday, 27 April 2013 13:11 (eleven years ago) link
unless you want to know how to ride motocycles really good and be sexy
I saw it, too. It was a multigenerational crime drama, which really confused the women behind me who didn't read a plot synopsis and exclaimed "I thought it was going to be a chick flick!" when the credits rolled. They were traumatized.
― mh, Saturday, 27 April 2013 14:10 (eleven years ago) link
Also they said "he didn't even look attractive!" which makes no sense because Gosling looks exactly like does in every other film, but with tattoos and a smaller selection of shirts
― mh, Saturday, 27 April 2013 14:11 (eleven years ago) link
his look was fantastic
― lag∞n, Saturday, 27 April 2013 15:14 (eleven years ago) link

So I haven't seen this movie but i have played a lot of "Hotline Miami". My friends tell me I would really like this movie if I like that game so much but frankly, i really wouldn't want to see a HM movie though.

man nobody in 1995 looked like that
― turds (Hungry4Ass), Saturday, 27 April 2013 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
well he was basically a carny
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 27 April 2013 17:43 (eleven years ago) link
i thought everything w/ the kids in modern day was better than goz's plotline
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 27 April 2013 17:45 (eleven years ago) link
yeah ive been hearing people say gosling's part of the film was the best but i didnt think so. felt like same old, same old to me. and it didnt seem appropriate to recycle his Drive mannerisms for luke. i dug the modern day part of it because of how nicely observed the interactions between the two kids was - felt p true to how teenage boys talk to each other
coop section wasnt anything fresh either but it was funny seeing all these swinging dick character actors suddenly popping up in what felt like such a sparse story. appreciated his starter jacket and dad jeans look more than gosling's celeb trying to be photographed at coachella in 2013 thing. get your damn zubaz and artfully unlaced combat boots out of here
― turds (Hungry4Ass), Saturday, 27 April 2013 18:03 (eleven years ago) link
heres a story that cracked me up
You gave Dane DeHaan his first Metallica CD to get into character.DEREK CIANFRANCE: Really? Can I tell you something that's crazy? Lars Ulrich, he was my hero growing up. I wanted to be like him. I played the drums. So I make Blue Valentine, I'm up in Schenectady, and I get a text message, "Hey, Derek, it's Lars Ulrich. I just saw your movie, and it blew me away!" He says, "I'm going to go to every rooftop I can in San Francisco and tell people about it." And I was like, "You don't know this, but man, I'm only ... I stopped playing the drums because I knew I would never be as good as you. I thought maybe I could make movies the same way you play the drums, with integrity and aggression and passion and fire." So he became a friend! He had a movie tent at a music festival in Atlantic City, and he showed Blue Valentine to a bunch of sweaty kids with their shirts off at a Metallica concert! It was a really strange manifested dream come true.

with that in mind i dont know why this movie wasnt soundtracked with the entirety of ride the lightning
― turds (Hungry4Ass), Saturday, 27 April 2013 18:06 (eleven years ago) link
ben mendelsohn kinda stole the show. that guy's magnetic as hell. i need to see Animal Kingdom. also its funny how you can de-age cooper by 10 years by just shaving him.
― turds (Hungry4Ass), Saturday, 27 April 2013 18:08 (eleven years ago) link
So, has this unofficially become the Gosling thread? Cause I'm more than okay with that.
― Public Brooding Closet (cryptosicko), Saturday, 27 April 2013 18:20 (eleven years ago) link
its not
― turds (Hungry4Ass), Saturday, 27 April 2013 18:35 (eleven years ago) link
i'd rather it be a nicolas refn thread. he's more interesting.
― clouds, Saturday, 27 April 2013 18:36 (eleven years ago) link
Agreed, though Gosling is more interesting when they work together.

i thought it was kinda cool, all diff directors could could make their own mumbling crime gosling movies
― lag∞n, Saturday, 27 April 2013 19:41 (eleven years ago) link
this movie was simultaneously really really heavy handed and compulsively watchable? agreed that the stuff with the kids was the best.
