The nice guys owns. I watched it on an airplane, and the dubbed over censored cuss words really add Something, recommended experience

Itās on my list to watch. I might actually watch it tonight.
More importantly Roger Deakins is the cinematographer, so I know Iāll watch this just for that alone.
Thereās really not enough going on in this trailer to sell me one way or another, itās not blowing me away. All I could think of seeing Ryan Gosling walk slowly down a moody corridor is how good Only God Forgives is.
Good news, the filmmakers feel the same way, which makes one wonder why theyād bother in the first place but here we are.

The Nice Guys is a fun, decent movie. It is one of the few new movies Iāve watched in 2016. I saw it during a matinee, which I believe is the best way to watch a movie if you can do it. Lower cost, big screen, lots of other unemployable weirdos. Definitely the way to go. The foul-mouthed kid on the bike was a highlight, and he was funny.
Blade Runner is maybe the only movie Iāve enjoyed more and more every time Iāve watched it.
I think Harrison Fordās greatest talent is his ability to show ass. I do not think thereās been a leading man whoās done a better job of getting his ass kicked on screen. He is a total jabroni throughout Blade Runner. He may as well spend the whole movie in the fetal position crying. It is beautiful. I am convinced it is the big reason why he is one of the top movie stars.
I think Crumbās PK Dick comic is maybe a top 10 comic of all times. It is freely available online, but all of the scans Iāve found are substandard reading on a modern computer screen. Here is a link anyway: http://www.ohio.edu/people/hartleyg/authors/dick/Religious-Experience-of-Philip-K-Dick-by-Robert-Crumb.pdf
Nowadays I think I would rather watch a movie about PKD than an adaptation of any of his works.

Having seen Arrival, Iām now a bit more optimistic about the Blade Runner sequel actually being good, before that all I had seen of his movies was Sicario. Sicario was good but seemed a little bit too ā¦ angsty? or something? But even though I have some issues with the concepts in Arrival (being kind of time travel adjacent, and time travel never ever making any sense to me whatsoever as a plot device for a narrative, for which the occurrence of events and their consequences in sequences is a pretty fundamental building block. I mean, I get that this is the sort of thing that storytellers will frequently want to challenge and subvert, but it almost never works out in any kind of satisfying way) itās pretty fantastically executed for what it is
nice guys was okay at best
i mean i was pretty hammered having drunk like 7 mimosas at brunch shortly before* but the movie made no god damn sense
*most insufferable DC person phrase ever
as a counterpoint nice guys was pretty funny to a completely sober me

What didnāt make sense to you? I thought it was pretty straight forward. Not worth a rewatch like Big Lebowski or Inherent Vice.
I just donāt think ryan goslingās coat is working out like deckards was.
Too orange and teal

I recommend final cut generally but the ācolor correctedā look is the weakest part

really wish this trailer didnāt lean so hard into the āmaybe the replicant killing protagonist is also a replicantā angle that will inevitably be a part of this movie
Wouldnāt the idea that the guy whose job it is to kill runaway slaves is just a regular part of the slaver class be a more daring subtext in 2017

In the world of Blade Runner the only people who arenāt replicants are the people who run the companies that make replicants.
But damn this movie looks beautiful.
