It is also in Time's Square, isn't it? There's a police station there, and I'd guess that there's usually a TV crew of some sort there.

I hate how in Rocky, after going out their way to do the middle rounds as a montage, they supposedly show the final round in real time yet that poo poo is over in something like a minute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5-s4abeoak It's still one of my all time favorite films but, gently caress. If you're going break away from the montage and do a dramatic three minute final round, at least make it last 3 actual minutes.

Is it irrational to be annoyed that he gets away with some rapey poo poo? Even as a child who had not even heard about social justice warriors I never liked that first "date" she's forced to endure, Rocky just getting way up in her space just keeps pressing on until she gives in. It's pretty lovely. Disclaimer in case some cannot understand that a person can like a film and still disagree with given characters and how their scenes play out.

Of course like all women who want to be put in her place, she falls in love with him at the end. It may not be right but before the 80s and even during the 80s women were not really seen as people in a lot of cinema, or real world. Go back and watch some of the older movies and you'll see a lot more of "women being put in their place."

Though at least with High Plains Drifter, I don't think that we're really supposed to see The Man With No Name as a hero the way that we're supposed to with Rocky.

Also, maybe I'm remembering wrong, but didn't she, along with the rest of the town leave him to die in the street? That doesn't make him right, but it's a bit worse than "being rude". of course, he was not meant to be a righteous hero, the movie was pretty explicit in saying that Clint Eastwood's character was an rear end trying to get revenge on the town for leaving him to die in the street.

I couldn't remember if he slept with her or not, but yes it was definitely rape. I just mean I don't think the film intended us to see Deckard as a rapist. I think they were trying to show that he was helping her make her own decisions (or trying to) but they hosed it up very badly.

Half of all films more than like 10 years old has the hero grab a girl and kiss her while she struggles to get away, then melts into his arms realising she wanted it all along, and it's creepy as hell every time.

Yep. Three Days of the Condor is pretty bad too, our hero kidnaps a chick and at best Stockholm-syndromes her into sex.

They were trying for this: "Jabootu.net posted:The core of the film, however, is Rocky’s pursuit of Adrian, the painfully shy sister of his mean and nearly retarded-seeming friend Paulie. It’s this relationship that really buoys the film and makes it work. Living a grim existence built around a crappy job and a home life that solely involves taking care of her brutish and verbally abusive brother, Adrian reacts to Rocky’s halting attentions with something approaching panic, so unused is she to simple affection and respect.

The whole movie is about him doing heinous poo poo to non-persons and then the bits at the end with Roy saving him for no reason except human mercy and the origami unicorn show that they're actually at least as "real" as him. The sexy Vangelis saxophone kind of threw me for a loop there though

What I'm complaining about isn't a bad thing at all. I have no problem with filming done in my province but man, it's hilarious when a movie is supposed to take place in America but there's Canadian landmarks all over the place. The Fantastic Four sequel is set in New York but oh look, there's the Lion's Gate bridge and an anchor from Global BC. The X-Men sequels are also set in New York but I immediately recognized the X-Mansion as being Hatley Castle.

The first Kick-rear end had a scene where the characters kept repeatedly driving by the old Sam the Record Man store on Yonge St. in Toronto - the one with the two neon flashing records on top. Also in the Robocop reboot, I kept seeing street signs for Jarvis st., Church st., etc.

Up until the mid to late 90s it was considered romantic for a guy to keep pushing and pushing until a girl gave in because it meant he really loved her. It's really unsettling and creepy to watch in a modern context though.

It's like nobody bothered to even try to cover up the landmarks in downtown Toronto.

My husband loves all those stupid comedies which basically amounts to a schlub man child gradually winning over a chilly love interest by constantly waging some sort of charm offensive against her. The love interest also seems to undergo some sort of transformation from glasses wearing frigid professional with her hair in a bun to fun loving warm hearted girl who turns against her job, starts wearing make up and lets her hair down. gently caress those movies, all of them.

The Highlander TV series went in the opposite direction with this. They wanted the bit that wasn't set in Paris to be set in the Northwest US, but they were obviously filming in Vancouver - sometimes directly in front of major landmarks. To get around this they created the fictional city of Seacouver, which was identical to Vancouver but had the geographical location of Seattle - hence the name.

Rachel is almost completely alone in the world, really knowing only her creators, who have done nothing but lie to her for all of her artificially short life and see her as a piece of equipment, and Deckard is well aware of this when she shows up at his apartment for lack of anyone else to turn to. Naturally, the romantic thing to do is to violently force himself on her when she's got literally nowhere else to go. Good job, Deckard, you washed-up alcoholic grump--you're a true gentleman. edit: grammar GOTTA STAY FAI has a new favorite as of 13:08 on Aug 12, 2014 |

I always thought Blade Runner wanted to have a protagonist who was absolutely not a hero. Superficially he looks like a hero, shoots at bad guys like a hero, gets the girl like a hero and wins in the end like a hero. But each of those action movie characteristics end up ringing hollow with anything further than a superficial glance and you realize that Deckard is just a facsimile of a good guy, going through the motions because that's all he can do.
