It has riff-raff in it doing the riff-raff voice. The movie is flawless.

For a high concept mid-late 90's movie it isn't bad - the psychic fighting was dumb, though - the same goofy thing 'Scanners' did but without the excuse of a low budget.

 It’s no secret that Roger Ebert loved big breasts. Just goddamned loved them. America’s most iconic film critic had plenty of endearing quirks, but this is the one that made him seem most down-to-earth. It was the promise of seeing some big-screen cleavage that led Ebert to the Biograph Theater one fateful day in 1965, to a screening of Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, directed by boob aficionado Russ Meyer. As Ebert would later write: “I was struck by one powerfully-edited sequence where [Tura Satana’s] character, Varla, attempts to crush a muscular but dim-witted hero against the side of a barn with a Porsche. Meyer intercuts his bulging muscles, holding back the car, with her spike-heeled foot pushing down the accelerator, and the tires digging into the dust.” Hoping to see some busty women in action, he had instead discovered an auteur.

In 2014, an experiment to counteract global warming causes an ice age that kills nearly all life on Earth. The only survivors are the inhabitants of the Snowpiercer, a massive train, powered by a perpetual-motion engine, that travels on a globe-spanning track.

...of SCIENCE! posted:I haven't even seen Snowpiercer and I already love it just for the sheer amount of spergy outrage it has generated from people who still haven't figured out that movies are not in fact real life n 2014, an experiment to counteract global warming causes an ice age that kills nearly all life on Earth. The only survivors are the inhabitants of the Snowpiercer, a massive train, powered by a perpetual-motion engine, that travels on a globe-spanning track. A class system is installed, with the elites inhabiting the front of the train and poor inhabiting the tail. In 2031, the tail inhabitants prepare for the latest in a series of rebellions. Guards arrive periodically to deliver protein blocks for food, and take some of the children. During the guards’ next visit, Curtis leads the tail inhabitants in revolt, forcing their way through several train cars to the prison section. There, they release prisoner Namgoong Minsu, the man who built the doors dividing each car, and his daughter Yona. They offer him Kronol, an addictive drug, as payment for unlocking the remaining doors. One of the cars is filled with armed men. Under the orders of Minister Mason, the men battle Curtis' forces; Curtis' sides prevails, and he captures Mason, but he is forced to sacrifice his second-in-command, Edgar, to do so. Mason agrees to lead the group through the high-class cars in exchange for her life. In the school car, the teacher and a henchman draw machine guns, slaughtering many of Curtis' followers, and executing his mentor Gilliam; Curtis kills Mason for revenge. Curtis, his few remaining followers, and Namgoong and Yona continue through the train, discovering the extravagance in which the elites have been living while the poor wallowed in squalor. One of Mason's henchmen, Franco the Elder, kills the rest of Curtis' followers before the henchman is himself seemingly killed. Curtis resolves to complete his mission, accompanied by Namgoong and Yona. The trio moves through the remaining cars where the elite indulge in food, partying and Kronol; Namgoong steals much of this Kronol from the inebriated revellers. As they arrive at the Engine door, Namgoong suggests they use the collected Kronol, made from explosive chemical waste, to blow open the side of the train, and escape into the outside; Namgoong explains that every year, the train has passed a crashed plane buried in snow, which has become less buried with each passing year, suggesting that Earth is warming, and that survival outside is now possible. Curtis explains why he must confront Wilford, creator of the train and its hierarchy. When the tail dwellers first boarded the train, they were deprived of food, water, or supplies, in crowded conditions, forcing them to turn to cannibalism. Before the introduction of the protein blocks, Curtis had kidnapped an infant Edgar to eat him, and killed his mother, before Gilliam cut his own arm off and offered it in Edgar's place. Namgoong resolves to use the explosive, but the engine door opens and Namgoong is shot and wounded by Wilford's assistant Claude, who forces Curtis inside. Wilford explains that the revolution was orchestrated between himself and Gilliam as a means of population control, necessary to maintaining balance aboard the train for supplies, but Curtis was too successful and Wilford's own losses too great, so he executed Gilliam as punishment. The aging Wilford says that he wants Curtis to replace him as the train's overseer, while in the tail, Wilford's henchmen execute all but 18% of inhabitants. Meanwhile, Yona and the recovered Namgoong fight off the irate partiers and Mason's returned henchman. Yona knocks Claude unconscious, gets inside the engine room and pulls up the floor to reveal that Wilford is using the tail children as slave labor, to replace the train's failing components. Outraged, Curtis sacrifices his arm to block the train gears, freeing one of the children, Timmy. Yona recovers the explosive from Claude and ignites it, before retreating into the engine with Namgoong. The damaged engine door fails to close, and Namgoong and Curtis sacrifice themselves to shield Yona and Timmy from the resulting explosive fire. The explosion sound wave causes an avalanche in the surrounding mountains that strikes and derails the train, destroying many of the cars and possibly killing everyone inside of them. In the aftermath, Yona and Timmy step outside into the snow. In the distance Yona spots a polar bear, revealing that life exists outside the train.

Dark City is fine by me, whaddya want? It's a noir sci fi 25 cents comic book story with a twilighty zone thing going on with some jazz and The Dude and Sutherland and moving buildings squashing people. BTW a lot of people look good on screen but I can confirm that Rufus Sewell is bastardly handsome in real life, I saw him once in London and just gurned at him as he walked by (a little more hurriedly). ...of SCIENCE! posted:I still can't believe that the dude who made The Crow and I, Robot actually made a legit good movie at one point The Crow and I sounds wicked

Does anyone else feel like Brandon Lee's performance in The Crow is kinda similar to Heath Ledger's in The Dark Knight? The mannerisms and cadence in the voice is what does it for me, but I also watched The Crow while absurdly high on cough syrup because I was desperately trying to force the flu out of me and also I was retarded and 16.

In college I took a mythology class taught by a very goony lady. Instead of learning about actual mythology, we just watched poo poo like Memento and Dark City and wrote long rear end papers over how similar the movies were to well-known Greek myths. Dark City was apparently like the myth of the minotaur and the labyrinth? I dunno. It was stupid but Dark City is still an okay movie in my book, not the greatest thing ever though.
