dan-likes-trees Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Saw this today. Gosling and Carey Mullighan (plus briefly Christina Hendricks). Bit style over substance I found. like, completely. But it was very stylish. Also it has the main bloke from Breaking Bad! Took me a while to realize. He's good too. /Can't be bothered to writer very much.
Paj! Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Oh I meant to make a thread. I was stunned. UGH @ 'style over substance'. Please, this isn't Sucker Punch. I can imagine @Daft would like this though, the aesthetic is so tasty. I loved. The font/colour of the font used/music/VISUALS (mm) were e'erthing.
Beast Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I would like to see this. Might watch it next week.
Cube Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I was very disappointed this thread wasn't about:

I can imagine @Daft would like this though, the aesthetic is so tasty. I loved. The font/colour of the font used/music/VISUALS (mm) were e'erthing. UGH is a bit harsh - it's a pretty valid point - none of the characters were at all fleshed out, and the plot was pretty basic. Arguably there's quite alot of substance to be found the style itself though, which differenciates it from (I would assume, though have not seen) Sucker Punch and such films. To say a film is style over substance isn't necessarily damning, so long as there's weight behind the style. I agree with your last line, will be getting my hands on the soundtrack, and the opening titles were pretty great. Interesting the general quietness of the film in general, seems to be a trend among films lately, Tinker Tailor, Animal Kingdom (which had similar ambient soundtrack for much of it) from the last year.. Sold. Alas, she's barely in it.. boo
Coolness Bears Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I NEED TO SEE THIS. I WAS FULLY ON BOARD MONTHS AGO. stupid cinema near me not showing it. I'm actually melting. I've been dying of the horror all day and then what is worse is that my friend who is in London has seen it and says its a necessary watch. FML.
