Ok Robin Wright was kind of bad, and the film spent way too much on Gosford’s face. But the atmosphere , the colors, the city at night sequences , are all at the center of my wheelhouse and the film was a delicious little gummy bear imho. And Mackenzie Davis is a babe and a half.

What would you even do with an extra half a babe I wonder

i mean he’s right that robin wright has to deliver real clunkers whenever she’s in the film i guess
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Sunday, 28 January 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link
Maybe that's what she was programmed to do.

if anything this movie overexplains its extremely overwrought plot but i think it’s still primarily about “blade runner k wants to discover who he IS” + harrison ford actually delivering a good performance + all of the emotional content of the film revolving around the question “what is real” (e.g. joi) which sounds real basic but was the most captivating part of the movie for me + overwhelming environments and mood that the plot can’t ruin. it’s good, it’s the first time i’ve liked a villeneuve movie
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Sunday, 28 January 2018 14:32 (six years ago) link
i liked gosling in this too which surprised me bc i watched it a few days after la la land where he’s just a menace
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Sunday, 28 January 2018 14:39 (six years ago) link
Maelstrom is worth seeing imo (though it's been a while)

and I kind of liked Incendies as an insanely OTT Greek-myth update

None of the dots connect in this movie. I get that if you just watch it as a visual tone poem or whatever it’s probably fine but after a certain point all the lingering just felt like I was being strung along. And then it turned out I was, because nothing that happened felt like it had any weight or significance, roll credits.

overwrought plotI don’t think there was much that was wrought at all

come on they hold your hand through the whole thing, that’s what i mean
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Sunday, 28 January 2018 16:16 (six years ago) link
but i’m still confused bc literally all of the dots connect in this movie

La la land also great

I guess the whole point of Freysa and her underground android army is to tell K to kill Deckard so that when he doesn’t do that it’s, like, a choice? Because I didn’t see anybody (or anything) else change from the trajectory it was on 110 minutes or so earlier. Discover bones, (ps this movie has got “Excitable Boy” stuck in my head, so that’s good I guess) follow clues, kill Luv, let Deckard live. Along the way, other stuff, some of which is nice to look at, when it’s not reminding me of a JRPG cutscene.

Tom’s going to be in for a shock when he finds out that most books of literary analysis are about writing that people actually like

are you saying you dislike jrpg cutscenes? so many mixed messages here

i like that post-apocalyptic Vegas shows that, even though its premises had been upgraded with the newest of technologies prior to its obliteration, they were all still fetishizing the same shit (Elvis, Sinatra)....

hellboy 2 had a few cool moments ie the angel of death thing and the golden army
― fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Sunday, 28 January 2018 17:47 (six years ago) link
Haven't seen it since it came out, and was just planning to re-watch the first one, but I recall Hellboy 2 being really visually striking, even beautiful at times.

i uh wouldn’t be so sure about that and i say that as someone who thinks del toro’s hellboys were mostly a missed opportunity
― your skeleton is ready to hatch (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 28 January 2018 18:08 (six years ago) link
on the blade runner topic, I still think it was kind of cliched and dumb that out of all the places in the world, Deckard was in Las Vegasdoes the whole world only include southern california and western nevada, idk
― mh, Sunday, 28 January 2018 18:32 (six years ago) link
a nuked out Miami Beach woulda been better
