What are you thinking Trey?

Did not expect this. (Why am I surprised?)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1502712/
The Worst title they could have chosen?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606378/
Im so tired of all this. Can't the studios just leave well enough alone?
So the time has finally come Arri, Aaton, and Panavision have stopped the production of all their film camera's and are going completely digital from here on out. Digital has fought and won the battle for control of motion pictures for the future.
When I first heard about this my original thought was (That was quick). But after some thinking about the subject my thoughts changed to (its about time).
So whats next for movies? Is it going to be higher resolution, 3D images, 48fps, etc? If digital is the hype now what will be the next hype?
This also makes me wonder why do a lot of big film schools start there students on 8mm or 16mm film when soon enough they are not going to be used at all?
They Live always struck me as something that could be a very cool remake.
Also I wanted a good and funny reboot and/or homage to the original pink panther films, because the crap that
Steve Martin did was unforgivable.
Someone call Spielberg because it seems he gets the last laugh!
One way I think of filmmakers making a film, I think of bakers making an amazing cake. There are many ways and technics to make a cake, and you can get many creative, artistic, and yummy results. In terms of Drive, its like they had all the ingredients but no tools, (They have Characters, but can't really shape them into people we care about.) The cake is then opted to be made by awkward means, but the cake comes out so different that it doesn't even resemble a cake anymore.
Im saying they just didn't give me enough information about any one character to care about anything thats going on.
Yeah, I was trying to find a nicer way of saying "If you think the characters are undeveloped, you probably weren't paying attention."
I think the long version seems less nice.
After reading your post about DRVE, I have to ask, what's with all the negativity? Are you merely having a bad day? Do you need a hug? I'm here for you.
Yeah I've been sick lately, makes me crabby somewhat. I don't like to cause drama or problems, I wish we could all live in a world where only good movies are made and everyone likes them. But since thats not the case I sometimes just have to stand up and speak my mind. Don't mind me though I'm the equivalent of a pebble in a shoe.
Anyway the author has quite a large fan base and is probably just stating his thought on NCFOM again assuming you saw the review he did for that movie, or any others he did.
You can find them all of his reviews here, If anyone cares.

I would truly hope you watch and finish both KB1 and KB2 reviews even if you disagree with the points.
As far as the difference between 1-2 I like more stuff in the first one but in that regards I feels kinda like the movies are mixed up, like 2 should be 1, and 1 should be 2.
We don't know the name of Clint Eastwood's character or where he comes from in those classic Westerns, either. That doesn't automatically make it a bad movie. It's a deliberate choice on the part of the filmmakers.
This is true, and I'm not saying the filmmakers did a bad job at making the characters mysterious or tense.
I think my problem really began to stem down to the fact that I just didn't know enough about ANY of the characters to really care about anything going on. I kept thinking to myself in the theater ok I like the idea of these characters, but where are they going with them? Maybe I'm just blind and stupid but I just don't see why I'm suppose to care about anyone in the film if you don't know what their about. How did Ryan Gosling's character learn to be such an expert driver or why does he almost never say anything. Sure throughout the film they may be hinting at the reasons why, but in the end they leave it up to you to figure out. Are you not at least somewhat curious?
I didn't particularly care for Fight Club (I think for smilier reasons, but I haven seen it in a wile). As far as the Joker, well yes his character is mostly unknowns, but at the same time, it's not his movie, its Bruce's. The film is mostly him trying to make the right decisions (often on the spot) in order to protect Gotham, his friends, and himself, but his struggles are also cared for since we know what he's all about. If the other characters in Drive's plot had been more fleshed out then maybe Ryan Gosling's character would have been a more expectable watch for me even though he is mysterious.
I said No Country For Old Men because they both had characters with good or interesting traits but just that. Some guy found a bag full of cash and is trying to get away with it, so what. Some guy is good at driving and doesn't like to talk, so what. Give me a reason to care other then just generally.
Maybe I was just letting off hot steam, or maybe it was those mushrooms I ate before going into the movie but, anyway I did not care for this movie what so ever. Over all, Interesting ideas, Interesting execution, but all in all it just don't fly with me.
I also think my original post was under explanatory and mostly me just dropping words on the page without thinking to much about them. (I am ashamed of myself)
It's possible much of my initial "oh hell yes" was sheer refreshment.
Or maybe just Ryan Gosling looking and acting bad ass.
I've been wanting to post this for a wile but I've been buzzy but anyway...
I don't know if anybody has seen that new movie Drive but holy shit that movie was piss awful.
It fails in the same way that No Country For Old Men does where we know nothing about the characters and/or there motivations, but Drive takes that problem to a whole new level were we literally know nothing about the main character, including his name. You should know your movie is not working when all the supporting characters are more developed then your main character.
This movie isn't even about nothing, This movie is nothing.
Anybody else feel this way?
Ok not trying to be dickish here but I just hate Kill Bill
I'm only going to go back to this guys reviews because It's the same way I feel
I guess now we know who done it
This guy actually has more hatred then Dorkman, But way less brain power.
Saw this movie in theaters the day The Dark Knight came out. (Irony)
Yeah thats true 35mm Film itself is not cheep, but with the digital revolution upon us, that really shouldn't be an excuse.

You don't see shots like this in movies almost ever. Not just the fact that it's un-cut but also the constant flowing camera movement. Any particular reason for that? Sure its a lot of work, (I mean we wouldn't want George to have to get out of his chair and direct a scene) But hell this was cool and very impressive. I'm not saying this kind of stuff is needed a lot, but seriously I would like to see a bit more of it. Maybe it's just me though. Thoughts?
The most iconic movie monster of all-time with a gigantic effects budget? Yes please.
Isn't Gareth Edwards working on some sort of Godzilla reboot?
Can I take the Matrix Sequels as one, and then option it off to Mike for one dollar? I have no strong opinion on this one, and I'm sure there's something else he'd love to do, so he can have two. Additionally, he'd knock it out of the park and I want to see those/that movie.
I would think you could get more then a dollar out of him.
If you had the chance to re write/re direct, or just over all redo 1 film thats ever been made, which would it be?
And NO you can't pick the Phantom Menace or any of the prequels because we all want to.
I would personally have to say Alien3 because the first 2 are perfect in every way, and then 3 comes along, breaks my heart and makes me want to cut myself. And no it is not David Flincher's fault, no one could make a good movie from that story. Ergo a complete re wright was needed.
I was really hesitant about posting my review of this movie here, mostly because i'm sure that everyone here is probably a lot smarter then me when it comes to movies. But also because I felt like I stretched it out to long for it to be as enjoyable as I wanted it. None the less I figure the point of making a review is for people to watch it so yeah.
Anyway I hope you enjoy... http://blip.tv/theautisticlobsters
Not to sound lazy, but I think it was closed before we got here, and if it wasn't, it's since been closed pretty thoroughly. (Thanks in part to RLM.)
You mean before DIF or before we were born?
So RLM just posted on FB that they will attending the premiere of the People vs George Lucas in Chicago tomorrow night, and seeing as I live relatively close to chicago, I'll most likely be attending if I can.
Why do I bother bringing bringing this up? Well since the release of Plinket's episode 3 review, I kinda feel like everything important that can be said about Star Wars (both original and prequels) has for the most part has been said.
The point being is that I'm curious to ask the DIF crew your opinion on the matter. Do you believe there is anything big left to say. Not really the little nit pick parts, but the big reasons why the originals work (or worked as far as the SE go) and the prequels don't, do you think the matter is for the most part closed?
Speaking black and white here, Is this movie going to be insightful or is it not even necessary?
I watched Jurassic park 2 all the time when I was a kid and loved the hell out of it.
Just watched it on amc after many many years and while I thought going to be some what disappointed.
I sadly was just flabbergasted at how much I hated it. The cuts between the real dino's and the cg ones were just terrible for the most part.
