Refn Teaming with Gosling for Drive

[Boom]

I'll probably buy the DVD in January, because I am desperate to see this film.

also this is my new fav song !!

When this movie doesn't get nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, we'll be further convinced how much of a joke the Academy is. This was the best movie of 2011.

A post so true it needed to be said in triplicate.

 

[Fanticon]

i think I'll use one of the fanmade posters for my drive cover on bluray.

The film's score is ineligible for an Oscar...

And I thought this was interesting...

You gotta put the scorpion on the back.

Here is my custom blu-ray cover...

Spoiler

If anyone wants it in HQ, I'll gladly pass it along.

Not surprising, despite that it's only 5 songs that's included that are already pre-existing materials it's enough for it to be deem ineligible, 'tis a shame since Martinez's work on the score isn't bad but oh well.

Just listened to about 40 minutes of the soundtrack with absolute relish. Needless to say it was fantastic. Now I'm even more excited for Logan's Run with his involvement in the project.

 

[Octoberist]

Has anyone seen the ugly US box art for the DVD and Blu-ray?

 

[RKO]

Sadly yes. If it was just the pink cursive letters on a black background, would be miles ahead of what we got.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

My jacket came in the mail hahahaha

 

[Project862006]

did you get the mask!!

 

[Poetic Chaos]

No, but all of my brothers bought the jacket and one of them even got the replica gloves. No word on a replica hammer being released.

I wonder just how many critics will name Drive as their no.1 flick of 2011 t:

 

[Project862006]

one scene still bugs me

the scene where gosling attacks the dude with the hammer in the changing room of the strip club

not 1 stripper flinches or even move when a man attacks a guy with a hammer and was seconds away from hammering a bullet into his head

they should be screaming,crying,running off

but no they just sit there emotionless with there boobs hanging out

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I can only try to imagine what routinely goes down in that club.

 

[The Morningstar]

Why should they be running and screaming? Because they are women?

I thought that showed that they were used to this kind of thing. A guy coming in and threatening to kill their boss isn't shocking to them because they've seen it all before.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

Or, their boss is a sleaze and they couldn't give a damn what happens to him.

 

[The Morningstar]

That too. Maybe they wanted to watch him get murdered.

 

[Master Chief]

lol I liked it, the whole movie is very surreal and that scene was no exception.

 

[Project862006]

a mad man comes with a hammer swinging and you sit their with your **** out sorry

just a silly scene

still like the film but far from fav film of the year like everyone else is doing on literally every site

probably 7/10 from me

 

[The Morningstar]

Mad man? Didn't seem mad to me. Seemed pretty laid back and cold. Until he got on the phone to Nino and started to vibrate with anger lol.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Bingo.

 

[Project862006]

meh i just dont see what everyone sees in this film i feel it is quite overrated

when i see sites saying

10/10
flawless
best film of the year

then i watch it and have this thats what they were raving about reaction

was'nt bad film far from it but far from best of the year

to me this is a 7-7.5/10 at best

was'nt emotionally engaging or connected to any character

this movie excels at style more than substance

80's sound track
dark moody atmosphere
great cinematography - very Michael Mann influence i felt

all great things and solid acting even tho hendricks,muligan and isaacs were wasted

also had a very cliche and predictable plot(something people rag on warrior about)

i was more emotionally connected and affected by films like warrior or even rise of the apes

 

[The Morningstar]

Awww you're just jealous and bitter that this is getting more love than Warrior aren't you?
