this is most certainly in my top 10 scenes (which i can act out verbatim,just give me a few beers) but i am pretty sure this is already sifted,because i was going to sift this myself years ago.

i say let this garner a few votes and introduce those who may be unaware of this stellar movie a small glimpse into celluloid perfection.

Haven't watched the video yet, but... Have you ever watched contemporary Canadian films? You know, ones based in modern times?

We seem to produce two types of films. Excellent, factual, and interesting documentaries...

and semi-intellectual fap fuel that blurs the line between edgy art house celluloid and hardcore porn.

So... the whole "thinking about sex" thing?

@EvilDeathBee Gotz my X-Large Mocha sipping away... less than half the price of the new MacD's Cafe crap, don't want to say HOW much less than Starbucks...

I find Hi-Def to be jarring when watching old beloved films. It loses that dreamy painted quality and looks more like closed circuit television. Filmmakers put a lot of effort into creating a beautiful celluloid pallor, which HD Blu-Ray usually just rudely brushes aside. I have a sneaking suspicion that QT feels the same way, because he is a student of classic cinema. I'll be curious to see if QT finds a way to keep the old school warmth. Either way, this looks awesome. Take my money, please.


Are you sure you don't have some kind of motion smoothing on, or some similar effect? Because it sure sounds like it. A good Blu-ray transfer of a classic film looks far, far more film-like than any DVD is able to muster. Modern TVs default to the closed circuit television, or soap opera look, which absolutely baffles me.

I read an article that said that a good rule of thumb is that any video setting that can be turned off on a TV should be turned off. Modern TVs look like garbage by default. Though I suspect that you know how to calibrate your TV, and in that case I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Blu-rays are awesome.

I could not disagree with you more sir after watching Blade Runner on Blu Ray on a large screen. It was like watching it at the movies.

That was a great interview. Drive was a great movie and now that I have seen that these two are capable of such off-the-cuff witty banter (like @MilkmanDan says, random stuff and subject matter) it comes to no surprise as to why that was so.
The opening chase scene in Drive will forever be one of the best cop/robber chases on film. Pure gold on celluloid (or 1s and 0s)...


They DO make a really cute couple.

I'll take this over the celluloid diarrhea that Hollywood has been pumping out for the last two decades. Yes, occasionally there is a golden nugget of corn, but that's been the exception, not the rule.

This was better when Roddy Piper did it with sunglasses. And you got to see one of the best fist fights ever captured on celluloid, to boot.

Yeah, that had to be the biggest steaming pile of celluloid I've seen in awhile. I could actually hear the pitchmen in the board room with Lucas: "Yeah....and then...uh....yeah! We'll have a guy get carried off by a bunch of ants!!"
Lucas: "Ants? Yeah! I totally like ants!"
Pitchmen: "..and, uh...this is going to sound crazy, ok? But what if we drop a nuke on Indy?"
Lucas: "Nuclear explosions?? Yeah! Yeah! Those are big and sparkly! Let's put those in!"

awesome!
that's Harold Lloyd in "Speedy" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0019412/ ), not Keaton...although in the old celluloids they all look the same if you're not a silent film nerd.


Which I am not...but I wish I had the time to be one, thanks for the research, I fixed the tags.

Dear Science,

Please accept this generous donation of my right testicle in exchange for this fine example of celluloid genius.

Yours truly,
