Villaneuve is at Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson level for me - meaning that I'll watch anything they're attached to. Don't even need to see a trailer, its enough for me to know they're directing.
I love him too but would not put him with Tarintino.... he hasn’t had a good movie out for A LONG timeQuote:

Me! I know very little, to nothing about it, but I'm so excited for it. I think I might actually try to keep it that way.
I hope his path continues in an upward trajectory, and that it doesn't come crashing down after his first film like what happened with Blomkamp.
Me too, I saw an article where Jordan Peele was raving about how good it was. That was enough to get me overly excited about it :lol:
From that trailer.... looks like a B horror flick. We shall see....

Who? Villaneuve? Did you miss Blade Runner 2049? It's fucking amazing.Quote:

Get outta here! Inglourious Basterds is a masterpiece. Django Unchained was fantastic and The Hateful Eight is a solid entry.
Ingloruious was good.. the others no. Hateful was to the point of unwatchable.Quote:

:o
What's wrong with Django Unchained? Leo's performance alone elevates that film.
Django isn't my favorite Tarantino but the artistry of its craftsmanship can't be denied. Such a vivid picture.
I enjoyed the Hateful Eight on my first viewing, but when I watched it a second time it really made me realize what a finely crafted film it truly is.Quote:

K I'm going to ask a completely random question so ignore it if you want because of it's randomness. I've watched The Dark Knight three nights in a row now. (Get a life, I know) but something occurred to me (as I'm sure it has to others).
The Joker says throughout the movie that he is a man of his word and he keeps his promises, tells the truth, for the most part. So when he says if Coleman Reese isn't dead in 60 minutes, I will blow up a hospital, he blows up the hospital without possibly knowing if Coleman is dead or not. It's as trivial as trivial can get, I know, but is it just him being chaotic or did he plan to blow up the hospital no matter what?
There is also another scene that somewhat bothers me. After the Joker has been interrogated and Batman and Gordon rush to save Rachel and Harvey, the Joker is left alone in a cell with a cop that he can obvious out manipulate. Why wouldn't they have just left him in that cell alone until everyone got back to the station? More trivial nonsense but it kind of nags at me after seeing the movie so many times now.
Have you watched the Netflix version yet? I haven't had the time to, but I'm curious how similar or different it is. I loved The Hateful Eight, but it seems like it's on the bottom tier of Tarantino movies for a bunch of people.Quote:

I actually enjoyed it but I think watching the film version first is a better idea. Although the longer episodic version fleshes out the story more and humanizes the characters more, it takes away some of the mystery. Anyway, just my two cents worth. I like both for different reasons.Quote:

First off, I love The Hateful Eight. I agree with your assessment, and will go one step further, in that knowing the "mystery" ruins the Neflix version of the film for me. The original is so much stronger for that very reason. This isn't a simple reordering as in Godfather 1 & 2, which makes for a very rich look at the Corleone family. Think of how much Pulp Fiction would be ruined if it were reordered, and that is how much things changed for me. If Quentin wants to do some tinkering, how about releasing the full version of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. I don't see what the holdup is on this one other than the rumored animated sequence to be completed. That's the one most fans long for.Quote:

He was going to destroy the hospital no matter what. A big part of Joker's psychological makeup is that he's a deceitful manipulator.Quote:

It was meant to give him an aura of omnipotence, getting the upper hand in every situation, but honestly it came across as just sloppy plot convenience. It bugs me too.Quote:

You're absolutely right. I'm not sure why I didn't take all those things into consideration. It just seemed at the time I thought of it that if he did blow up the hospital with Coleman still alive, then why would anyone believe anything he said in the future? But that just adds more to his chaotic nature. Even if they didn't believe future threats, they'd still have to take them all seriously. Thanks for the response. As many times as I have seen this movie, I can still learn from it.Quote:
