A24 4,345 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Insider who viewed PTA's Inherent Vice watched the movie and spills the beans:Mix together The Big Lebowski and [Robert] Altman's The Long Goodbye and turn it into a two-and-a-half hour PT Anderson epic and you're getting close to the awesome experience of Inherent Vice. Even Joaquin Phoenix's performance has echoes of '70s Elliott Gould with a touch of The Dude. But don't get me wrong, the film is its own animal. A drug-fueled detective story filled with great psychedelic music and beautiful, grainy cinematography. It's both hilarious and confounding at times. But Anderson does an incredible job of making the incredibly complex plot both comprehensible and entertaining. Even though he's apparently said he's still tinkering, it felt like a finished film and will definitely go down as one of my favorites of his.I have a bad feeling about this one: Muad'Dib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah, just saw it. Doesnt look good, now does it.To be honest, my favorite movie with an intelligent ape in Congo. And that film knew it was a little ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Where do you see greatness, Koray? I heard or saw nothing noteworthy. In fact, I was already bored during the trailer. Are you just happy to see apes? What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,018 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The original 1968 film was really cool because it was so heavy on satire. You know, it almost didn't have work an a literal level. Those new movies try to treat is as a more serious s-f with compelling drama. And that's where they are asking for trouble.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,345 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yes, but the first film of the reboot had something atmospheric and some kind of depth to it. It's only towards the end that it became dull. The sequel seems to spread out that ending over two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you just happy to see apes? What is it? I've been a Planet Of The Apes fan ever since I saw the original as a kid. If they can find a way to keep making them I'll be happy, though it seems they're trying to make these recent ones lead into the first film, which gives them a finite amount of storytelling options. Simply looks like good action to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 OK, finally watched the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes trailer. I think it looks really silly. Seems like the kind of movie if I saw in the theater, I'd get restless halfway through and wish I was somewhere else. Might check it out at home, maybe. I don't think it will be a big hit.Special effects look good though, and I'm very curious to hear the score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,372 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Finally saw this. I'm glad Fincher has a new movie coming out.... but this looks kinda boring and cliched/predictable. I would have much much MUCH preferred Fincher was able to continue the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, cause I loved that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,345 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was pretty lightweight and safe too. I mean, you see it and you immediately move on. It quickly vaporizes into thin air. But yeah, this Gone Girl is quite bewildering. I prefer it when Fincher is a little more provocative and risqué. We don't need another Ron Howard.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I saw the Swedish version first and it made an immediate impression on me. After I saw the Fincher version I certainly thought it was a good film, but it soon decayed somewhere in the back of my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Never seen the originals. Figured I'd check them out after Fincher finished his trilogy, but I guess that dream is fully dead by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 If you've seen Verhoeven's Flesh + Blood then you've technically seen a Dutch film. But it's English language though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
