re Drive...

I actually appreciated that they didn't try to dumb it down with a bunch of cool looking action chase scenes. All the driving was pretty realistic and it was enough. I don't give a shit about action scenes, sometimes I even fast forward through long action scenes.

I'm not saying they had to go all Hollywood with it, but there were only two scenes in the whole movie that really illustrated what he was--a highly skilled driver--and in my opinion only the one at the beginning of the movie really pulled me in.

I don't know what "beta" means. I have IE9, I think more than 6 people are using it.

[Luke]

No.

Yeah, I was glad to see it like that. I would have been bored with a bunch of chase scenes. I thought the scene of him driving was plenty to let us know, okay he is a driver. I do wonder about his backstory though, how did he get so badass? I am sure there is some signifigance to his scorpion jacket and his scorpion and frong story, but I don't know what it is.

Well I would've liked some more cool Get Away scenes.

Anyway, yeah. Awesome movie. I kind of wanted to be like the Driver after I saw it. Mysterious ass motherfucker.

I honestly don't know what "beta" means. I could google it and know before I finished thispost... but that is how little I care. I turn my computer on, it works, great. I don't give a shit about firefox and betas and browsers and shit.

^^ That actually says a lot about his character and one the themes in the movie. He wears that scorpion jacket all the time... he is what he is.

I am flip flopping now that I have had a minute to digest that movie. I am giving it my full on seal of approval of greatness.

Interesting. I have heard variations of that tale, but not with a frog. I didn't make the connection to the dude's jacket, though.

I am talking about Rambo racing against Sunshine in cart cars (beta version). WHat are you talking about?

[Luke]

I was talking about how I like my rabbit cooked

Well, I didn't make the connection, because I wasn't familiar with the fable. But now that I know it, I think the writer is commenting on the bleakness of human nature. We do what we do... in particular the driver, he is wrecking ball of destruction... trying to fight his nature, but it just keeps rearing its head. I don't know, I like movies that try to say something about the human condition, but do it with some style (preferably involving violence and/or nudity).
