I’m mildly terrified about becoming the 201X equiv of the bozos who lobbed style-over-substance tomatoes at idk Bladerunner in its day, is all
the blood is the life ;___;
I can see why people wouldn’t have liked only god forgives but I can’t for the life of me see why that was some big divisive thing then just a little later the insufferable pile of bullshit that was jarmuschs only lovers left alive was loved by just about everyone
I think maybe it’s the dialogue. they’ll take a bunch of insufferable whining about the normals not appreciating tesla and genius etc, over you just sitting there saying nothing, then they shift around uncomfortably and think their being insulted.

This was very weird! And very gross! A few people left the theater! I hadn’t seen that since Antichrist!
It sure is the Neo Refn / Glamorama / Black Swan thing you are expecting.
There is one particularly ingenious thing I really loved about this. I won’t talk about it because the movie won’t be out in the US in a while and I don’t know how to spoiler-text anyway.
the fun thing about only lovers left alive is watching it in close proximity to what we do in the shadows and then getting scenes mixed up between them
would be an ace crossover imo
also o.l.l.a. has a boss soundtrack
substance is for the birds
Well sure but his styles are pretty damn naff too, that’s my confusion

Anyway, Refn isn’t humorless, unless you were asleep for the duration of Bronson?

christ every tarantino/nolan/refn/etc thread. why for these directors college kids like do we got to have these debates on how edgy or intelligent they think they are versus how actually scientifically provable intelligent they actually are. okay, you don’t want to be caught liking things dumb college people like. who cares. live now. life is short. time is luck.

NEON DEMON is the perfect refn because it’s a love letter to narcissism in which the lead literally kisses her own image but unfortunately when you embrace your own beauty too much the world kills and eats you WHAT A FUCKED UP PLACE!!! #hottake
There were four people in my showing, and one walk-out. He made it through the graphic necrophilia only to leave when someone gets pushed into a pool?!
Extraordinarily dumb if you pay too much attention to the words. Look forward to seeing it again.
