Embed related is IMO only the good thing about it: Jan Hammer!

>>10221

Wasn't there a scene where they listened to music in the movie itself? It was like rap techno or something.

>>10198

Fuck you, Knight Rider was good.

>>10238

Knight Rider the Series was 10/10, especially Season 3 and Bonnie, but KR2000 was terrible IMO.

I also don't get why people hate Super Pursuit Mode that much.

holy shit my thread is still up after all these years. I still haven't watched KR2000 and I don't think I ever will because it's a fucking insult to Knight Rider and KITT in general.

/pol/lacks are pushing the race mixing? I get they are pushing politics, that much I get. But what about the fucking massie posting and gay/black posting? It is utter shit.

The board owner deleted my first post in a shilling-for-a-youtube-creator thread. It was for a new Half in the Bag video and I saged it for shilling.

I think OP image was from before zerosugar took over /tv/. The original BO essentially created the board and left. The constant Baneposting crowded out everything else.

>The constant Baneposting crowded out everything else.

You say that like it is a bad thing...

Baneposting was the best thing to happen to /tv/ in ages.

John Wick (duh)

no whites in this film, only flipmonkeys killing flipmonkeys, but it's pretty fucking good,first half is tactical and firefights, 2nd part is shit hits the fan and anything goes, lots more melee weapons and hand to hand brutality

end fight is one of the best you will see

>>10216

>LOTS of killing plz

Sure thing

Predator.

To add, I totally agree about the pieces of a whole comment.

I recently watched his first film, Badlands, and it doesn't feel nearly as confident as his new works.

It's still special, but he's just starting to become the (dare I say) singular genius that he is today.

Badlands has too much of a narrative and not enough pretty pictures, and I mean that sincerely.

Apparently he has "repented" and gone back to working with a real script for his next movie, some kind of war film about a conscientious objector (I think).

It will be interesting to see Malick make a slightly more conventional movie again.

Looks liek Samsara/Baraka

There are so many I haven't seen. An American Werewolf in London seems to rate well. I saw the first half hour and thought it was amateurish, especially the writing. Does it get better?

>>8294

What are some major differences?

>>8295

Read the script man, it doesn't bite and it's virus free cross fingers, lol. You can compare it with the movie and believe me, there are some solid, rich dialogues and great character development butchered for the sake of time and budget that will make you fill the void in some long silences and scenes that seem out of place.

But I'm glad of some changes and additions, like Ruby's frustrated lesbian scene and later morgue sex and the omission of her death at the hands of Sarah when they have an argument the day after eating Jesse. Or the mountain lion instead of a common wildcat.

What I didn't like was the abuse of symbolism that could have been more understandable if they had followed the script to the letter, but it's just my opinion. And Keanu's acting was so stiff damn it, so porn acting level. I wanted to slap the shit out of him and tell him to act as if he was his own father. Mickey Rourke or Michael Madsen could have been better for the role. What a waste.

And of course, the Neon Demon. I' ts better described in the script, it's not only a symbol, but "something" that later becomes "someone else" and "something" again at the same time as you see in the credit scene. The golden goddess that Jack sees in her, the shining sun that Sarah so desperately wants to be, the sacrificial virgin that Ruby lusts, the relentless guilt that haunts Gigi to madness. Anything more than human and because of that, not human anymore.

I have moderate hopes for a book of Polly Stenham based on the script she helped to create.

>>8274

She knows how to throw a right. The girls at the theater were like "yes!" when Jesse gets punched

>>8215

>all style no substance

When will this meme critique die

It's just not well made at all to be engaging And Elle isn't that good of an actress to make you even care about finishing the film.

Spring Breakers is decent

high faggotry content

I dislike his work, and his personal philosophy on film does not resonate with me in the slightest. I suspect it of being a bunch of bullshit.

he should stick to playing a gangster and nothing else

Spring Breakers is trash

>>4294

anybody got a GIF of the opening shot?

Bill Butler, the editor of A Clockwork Orange, just died. This line from his obit stuck out to me:

>He was introduced to Kubruck by “The Shining” editor Ray Lovejoy, and cut “A Clockwork Orange” in Kubrick’s garage. His son recounted that he worked alongside Kubrick 14 hours a day, seven days a week, for nearly a year.

First off that is craziness - those numbers would mean nearly 100 hour of work per week. It's closely related to the fact that Kubrick liked to do take after take after take of a scene. You may assume he was trying to get the "perfect" take. But I don't think he always knew what he wanted at the time of filming. Instead I think he wanted a lot of footage of each scene because that gave him a lot of options for editing. Since these many options had to pass through Kubrick's obsessive perfectionism, it's no surprise to hear about such a grueling editing process.

Strangelove is my favorite. Went completely dark in and never in my life did I expect such a hilarious comedy.

I know Fitzcarraldo had (smaller) problems. I like this documentary about the production called Burden of Dreams

>>9852

> I have not watched Galaxy Quest

If you like Star Trek you really should watch Galaxy Quest. It's a truly great comedy.

Heaven's Gate? I think the film is excellent, but the messy overbudget production is legendary

>>9965

I tried to watch this movie, but god damn, it is the most ponderous boring thing I have ever seen.

It seemed well made in sense, but I was really not feeling it.

>>9968

I can see that. It's probably not for everyone which is why it did so poorly at the box office.

>>9955

Interesting. Which countries / directors would you base that upon

>>9921

Everyone from montage theory.

Indirect influence outside.

Tarkovsky.

And Sokurov.

>>2134

I was wondering the exact same thing some days ago

What country didn't drop in quality in the 80's other than HK?

France started to suffer since the 70's, going full gay comedies in mid-70's

USA embraced the blockbuster philosophy and injected money and actors instead of scripts and directors

Italy so far seems to have been caught in comedies, exploitation stuff and lots of nudity

And i think Hong Kong blasted the US in the 90's, South Korea in the 00's but mostly because of the ratio, half of their movies are watchable, unlike 00's US, who has an understandable unbalanced ratio due to Hollywood

I ignore France post-80's, other than Annaud and Jeunet

Cinematography.

>>3247

This is a confusing post.

>>9915

I think he meant that writing is most essential to the success of a writer/director, but at the same time a director is a more important job than a writer

>>9917

That's less confusing, but still somewhat strange.

ODE TO GI JOE

This is a nostalgia short with some similarity to thunderbirds
