Re: Dark City

So I went back and relistened to this one last night and I'd forgotten how much of an angry commentary this turned into at times, holy shit guys. But I was wondering, has anything changed for Teague in the last year and a half of doing DiF in relation to this movie. Has he actually watched the entire thing? Does he still believe that which he believed before?

I probably wouldn't if I watched it again.

BUT I'M NOT GONNA





Honestly, I'll get around to it.

Re: Dark City

Recently re-watched Dark City, and decided to give this a listen again.

This is probably the most frustrated I've ever been with Teague listening to any of these.
I pretty much vehemently disagree with every single point he brings up.
Thankfully Trey and Dorkman call him on it, so it makes for a pretty solid commentary.
You really oughta give it another shot at some point Teague, I would argue that not only does the movie do a great job of gradually explaining everything without resorting to exposition dumps (at least in the director's cut), but it also makes great use of visual storytelling. There's tons of clues littered throughout that help tip
you off to what's happening.

The Matrix comparisons are interesting, as watching this again, it really does manage to pull off everything the Matrix trilogy tried and failed at, and does it in a brief 95 minutes. I would say that The Matrix 1 is definitely more entertaining on an action movie level, and consequently more fun to watch, but I've definitely come around to the opinion that Dark City is the better movie.

Leave Teague alone! He's the sensitive one!

Nah, I'm really proud of this commentary, I just like the level of intellectual honesty and dedicated research I bring to the table.

Re: Dark City

Did Teague ever get around to watching this again? 

I will say that this is a hard movie to watch even if you're just the slightest bit tired.  I did a lot of movie watching late night when I first saw this one and I think it took me 3 times before I got all the way through it.  That's not taking anything away from the movie as I find it really entertaining.  Something about all the character's constantly falling unconscious just made me want to join them.

Re: Dark City

Ha. No, not yet, but I'm really amused by that theory.
