Does anyone know where I could find a proper sized print of this? I'm trying to find a No Country poster and this is by far the best one.

I feel like Time Crimes gets a good rap because it's one of the only* time travel movies that doesn't really break it's own established rules so is technically well made from a "nerds can't nitpick the science plotholes" standpoint, but it actually isn't very good, and that bothers me because I really wanted to like it. Maybe it gets a pass for being kinda boring and joyless because it's a foreign film so Americans expect it? *The only other ones I can think of are the first Terminator and Primer.

For an image devoid any actual real content, that's the most 90's image I've seen in a while.

It covers a lot of the same ground as Primer (time travel is a thing that should not be and the only winning movie is not to play) but in one of these films a guy wearing a black trenchcoat and bloody bandages on his face terrorizes women with scissors and in the other one some nerds piss each other off.

Timecrimes is also a lot easier to understand. Apparently Tom Cruise's company owns the rights to an American remake, which I can see happening- but don't expect it to be as good. And if you say you understood the last act of Primer on the first viewing- you're a loving liar.

Jim Carrey will never be as good of a fake Criss Angel as David Tennant was in Fright Night, and the filmmakers know it. So they added some David Blaine in there to even it out. This is what I choose to believe.

Everything about Burt Wonderstone seems great except Steve Carell, I just can't get excited about any he's done: he even dragged down Anchorman. And he's the title character in this.

I really liked the film (best of that year I thought) and I'd want the whole set if I got any of those posters. Only want the one though and it's gotta be that Japanese print, but I can only find it in 11x17.

They make great teasers, almost the antithesis to the character face poster. Shame I could never find them for sale anywhere though.

Eh, it felt like it couldn't decide between grim drama and jokes aplenty, so it was tonally off. Primer was pure hard-science serious, Time Crimes gravitated between the two and not successfully, I felt. I really wanted to like it, too.

Lance Streetman posted:Please tell us more, Mr. Mechagodzilla. It's pretty simple. There are three Hectors. The first (ego) goes about his day-to-day life before being lured into the woods by the second (id), who acts as a slasher villain. It's very important that ego-Hector is unconscious of id-Hector's manipulations. The third (superego) plays the moralistic role, trying to subdue id-Hector with guilt, preserve his marriage and let the police sort things out. Obviously there's more nuance to their interactions than that, but that's the gist.

Throw in American Psycho. Half of the book and movie's comedic elements are based on how lame, pathetic and monsterous Bateman really is, but you get A LOT of young males going "Dude! I am Patrick Bateman!" No you're not. You're some lovely college kid with bad anger management skills. Well actually, I guess you are Pat, just not in the way you think.

You can add in Taxi Driver, Scarface, Wall Street... Teenage boys especially are dumb as gently caress when it comes to gangster films, you could survey an entire high school and get a solid consensus that the message of Scarface, Goodfellas and the Godfather is "being a gangster is badass". e: who am I loving kidding this is the opinion of the average 20 something male too

Scarface and Taxi Driver are particularly good examples. I love Scarface because it doesn't show a flawed anti-hero, but because it shows a horrible human being that has to lye in the bed that he's made. Yep, he's charming and hilarious, but the same qualities that make him those things are what lead to the monster you end up with. Tony Montana is captivating and pathetic all at once.
