tokyo drift features one of the worst lead performances i’ve ever seen in a motion picture, and the best character from it shows up in a major role in fast five, so go for fast five imo

One thing about Kevin Spacey is that at least I discovered Difficult People because of the reel of all the Spacey insults.

I watched Wonder Woman, Atomic Blonde, Baby Driver and the beginning of Snatched on the plane on Friday? Disclaimer: I took a xanax and had drunk a lot of wine (activation) because I hate flying so much. I got weepy during WW, fell asleep during the middle of Atomic Blonde and loved Baby Driver. Maybe I do need to rewatch to make sure it was as surprisingly awesome as I remember.

Yeah, I was confused when I woke up but people looked attractively put together.

I would avoid the boring cut of Atomic Blonde, the one I saw was pretty great.

I thought this was really bad, but it kind of made me appreciate how good/charismatic Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx are in that it's still just about watchable when they're on screen. Jon Hamm is pretty good, but not good enough to ever momentarily fool you into thinking you're watching a movie that isn't bad.
Sometimes I feel I can only really calibrate how good an actor is when they're in something terrible, I thought the same thing about Tom Hanks in Turner & Hooch.
― Platinum Penguin Pavilion (soref), Sunday, 19 May 2024 11:14 (four months ago) link
you are dead wrong about hamm and merely 98% wrong about spacey tbh
― close encounters of the third knid (darraghmac), Sunday, 19 May 2024 12:14 (four months ago) link
Kevin Spacey is not charismatic unless you are super into Kevin Spacey.
He is the actor equivalent of turning over a log in the woods and realizing there is some sort of horrible growth underneath.

Spacey was perfect in Glengarry Glen Ross, bitchy in The Ref, outstanding in L.A. Confidential, and perfectly cast here. His last Oscar win kicked off one of the most doleful run of films I've ever seen.

Edgar Wright is very good at moving the camera. But I always come away from his movies thinking that "I figured out a cool way to move the camera" was the sum total of his emotional investment in the project.

I realise now that I've been mentally conflating this film and Drive into one not very good movie, maybe because I saw them both on planes. Also because they're both shite.

Baby Driver was a fine holiday weekend watch seven years ago, had no need to watch it again except for the opening scene, which I teach as an example of modern sound design + editing. Nothing loathsome about it except for the chicken hawk + twink subtext.

A marginally less shitty version of this movie is where that guy was working for another criminal organization who were laundering money at that bank and Spacey & Crew have to survive pissing off Los Zetas or something.
