same re. soundtrack

cat_race | 4 Mar '13, 15:17 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I like the soundtrack
  
  lots of people appear to, I remember seeing lots of sad faces who couldn't get in the venue when College played the Great Escape.
  
  I wasn't a sad face, I was a drunk one

    - TBF I only had one throbber at the time

- Speaking of the soundtrack, it has 19 songs
  
  I only really listen to about 4 of them. Is anyone really thinking of the Cliff Martinez tracks when praising it?

Hated that film

  i thought it was pretty much universally loved for some batshit reason that i couldn't understand.

It's good but you can tell it's not great and that there's something missing

bit like Nandos

  or have i misread it completely? and people weren't?

I found it quite hypnotic and dream-like.

always get double throbbers for those kind of films.

Yeah? Well I'd like to see YOU make a film.

Agreeing with cat_race shocker

Drive is an exercise in style over substance - some great sequences, top soundtrack. Dull characterisation and plot

Gringo | 4 Mar '13, 15:25 | X | ^ This | Reply
- been a while since i cared less about a protagonist
  
  agree totally. fine, couple of cool bits. bloke out of breaking bad turning up in everything shocker continues. hot babe. feel like i'm watching lost in translation
  
  cat_race @Gringo | 4 Mar '13, 15:27 | X | ^ This | Reply
- But in Drive, style *is* substance
  
  As with many other similar films. If you still wanna separate the two, then why should a film be substance over style and not the other way round?

glad you decided to start a thread about it

the boards are really lacking discussion about this film

- i don't check
  
  cat_race @japes | 4 Mar '13, 15:27 | X | ^ This | Reply
I watched it last night actually

Thought it was really slow to get started but I guess that made the violence more shocking when it kicked in. It felt like it wasn't sure what it wanted to be though, like a cross between Taxi Driver and Death Proof

I like the term double throbber

Gorkys_Forever | 4 Mar '13, 15:42 | X | ^ This | Reply
- i'm glad
  
  that's what this thread is about (non-sarcastic)
  
  cat_race @Gorkys_Forever | 4 Mar '13, 15:45 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - follow-up query:
    
    is it pulsing twice as fast? or twice as large?
    
    Gorkys_Forever @cat_race | 4 Mar '13, 15:54 | X | ^ This | Reply
    - it doubles back on itself
      
      first a throb outwards, then a throb back

        i'm trying to think of something with a similar motion
        
        you know in cartoons when there is a fire hose and the hose has like bulbous bits travelling down it where the water is supposed to be?
        
        like that, but then back again. and sort of unfolding at the end

I like Drive purely because it is style over substance

I've seen and been disappointed by too many films that are meant to have a juggernaut of meaning behind them. Give me pretty and hollow anyday and I'll read a book if I want something more.

It's fucking ace

Most people like shit films. They need to get better taste and stop watchign fucking super hero films.

I haven't see many people work up a double throbber over it.

Just lots of people agreeing that it was a very good film, which it is. Thanks, pal.
