Going to see this later, admittedly somewhat against my will. I'm expecting it to be pretty poo poo judging from the trailers, the only thing I'm interested in is Batou's car which is a futuristic modified Lotus Esprit from the 80s...

FilthyImp posted:I know it's not a popular opinion, but I love the gently caress out of those angular 80s cars. Especially the ones with pop-up headlights. Wedge car trend started in 1968 with the Alfa Romeo Carabo (which is glorious) and carried on well into the 80s. My car is from 1988 and has pop up headlights, they're the coolest thing. I pulled up to park on a street and a little lad was staring at the car, I flicked the headlights up and he lost his poo poo, jaw dropped, hands on head...  Wedge cars and pop ups are forever cool.

I like how there's so much back and forth about whitewashing when the real discussion should be about how loving boring and grey this movie is. Even the intro scene is less impressive than the animated version from 1995 and it never gets any better. I also love how the paid for the license to use the animated version's theme aaaaaaaaand then just played it in the credits.

This version of the movie takes place in Hong Kong evidenced by the skyline featuring actual buildings located in Hong Kong in a long shot and the vertical graveyard which has featured in a whole bunch of HK movies over the years.

Alan_Shore posted:It doesn't say that. I assume they just based it on HK because the original did and they followed the aesthetics. But if it IS HK does that make more sense that she's white now? In this new movie it's Hong Kong because there are several buildings in the skyline in the bay shot which exist in HK today. The vast majority of the movie was created in CGI anyway so why leave those particular building in if it's not HK? It has this iconic building in the movie, it's the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong.

I want to see where Tricky went to from the trailer. He was in Fifth Element as the slightly bumbling Zorg gangster that tries to get on the ship to Phloston Paradise as Korben Dallas. Ghost  Fifth  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blzmPZ7ZNJc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricky_(musician)

Bugblatter posted:Going back a little, but regarded where GitS17 is located: I've never even been to HK and yet it looked distinctly HK, the skyline and in particular the graveyard I've seen in various movies or TV over the years and the whole thing just screamed "THIS IS HONG KONG".

I need to watch that again, some of the deaths in the beach scene were pretty funny.

Donnerberg posted:I should see Speedracer since people talk warmly about it in this thread, but I've wanted a Hollywood version of Redline for a while now. I assume I'll be disappointed that Speedracer is not that. ...and I'm pretty sure if I wait a couple more years, Fast and Furious will be cars in space. Speed Racer is a 'big screen, big sound' experience. It's eye-bleedingly colourful and some of the sound work in the races is pretty fantastic. It's also funny, has heart and an amusing business lecture towards the end... I watched Redline and was very impressed by the animation but I don't recall much of the story, I've now overwritten it in my mind with an episode of Space Dandy which was basically the same thing (the title character Dandy even looks like the guy from Redline).

It's true and I go back to read Film Crit Hulk's view of it every now and again simply because they're basically a love story to the movie http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/03/27/film-crit-hulk-smash-speed-racer-as-artist http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2013/11/20/hulks-favorite-movies-speed-racer-2008

IMO the action scenes in the anime were better done, particularly the chase with the guy on foot and the fight with him in the water amongst ratty old buildings. It was far more stylish in the animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkvRVkaE6y4 vs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90OX7x7KeVE
