I think if anything sinks it it will be the fact that Elgort is the lead, I don't think there's much recognition or affinity for the guy.

Man, I'm really looking forward to this movie but I hate the title so much that I disassociate the movie from it every time. Just saw Jon Hamm introduce his new movie, Baby Driver, at the beginning of trailers yesterday and thought it was some new dumb comedy he was in.

To be fair I felt the same way about Hot Fuzz before I saw it

I like that he doesn't know the right way to pronounce T-Rex.

That read as "I've never spoken to anyone about this but I've read the word a thousand times" which is a fun bit of character development

So was the guy who interfered with the robbery just a 'good guy with a gun'?

The foreshadowing in the bank parking lot made me think it was a deliberate attempt to break up the robbery, but nothing else came of it.

I think so, with the implication that he was ex-military?

The first 3/4 of HF feel stronger to me because they parody British murder mysteries, which take themselves very seriously, whereas the last parodies American action films, which don't.
Still find it very funny though.

I like Baby Driver and I'm sure when I watch it again I'll notice lots of things I missed on the first viewing. Was a bit bummed out by the ending. Hoped he'd escape.

It seems more fitting in retrospect, because he got what he really wanted: He finally isn't a criminal.

Fangz posted:

Thinking back I thought the action sequences in previous Edgar Wright movies were mostly kinda bad, especially if they go on for too long, which makes it impressive how they totally work in this one.

The World's End had some great fights imo

Another fun bit: in he script, immediately after the line "If you never see me again, it means I'm dead," the stage directions read 'We never ever see him again.'

I love it. Is the full script available anywhere?

This clearly isn't the shooting script, as it's still set in LA, so a lot of stuff is different here.

What's interesting to me is how different the tone of the ending is here. For one thing, in this version, Debora isn't there for the final clash, and it's made clear that Buddy's parting shots leave Baby completely and permanently deaf, or at least much worse than he seems in the movie. Baby goes and gets Debora after Buddy dies and it's played almost like he's abducting her without realizing it. When they confront the police blockade, he gets ready to speed off, but realizes that she's scared, has an "oh god what the gently caress am I doing, who even am I anymore" moment, and surrenders instead. It's also clear in this version that his happy ending with Debora is a fantasy that he's coming up with based on a postcard she sent him, and it's left up to the audience as to whether or not he really gets any kind of happy ending. All-in-all, much more of a downer. :smith:

Thanks!

Saw this again just now, it's even better the second time IMO.

Not particularly, just combinatorics. He uses Baby as his only driver, so even if you have, say, a pool of 20 people people to fit into the other three car seats (because everyone refuses to sit in the middle back) you can still manage 1140 heists.

You forgot to account for Darling and Buddy, I don't think they heist without each other.

Neither of those surprise me. Robin Williams named his daughter after the Legend of Zelda.

That actually makes my earlier statement really hilarious, because Jon Bernthal basically reusing his Daredevil performance would be one thing, but Jon Hamm giving an incredibly similar performance in a movie where the actor he's seemingly riffing on appears is some next-level poo poo.

I haven't watched the show so I was so confused when you said that, like I thought they made Daredevil a violent lech.

I watched most of the movie for a third time today and while I'm certainly no expert on accents, I always feel like the first scene in the diner ends with the two of them both slipping into their british accents after Baby sings the little bit of the Trex song. He obviously sings the song in a british accent (because T. Rex is british af) and then never quite gets back to Southern. That's the only part I notice it slip, though.

Ansel Elgort isn't British?

For me, the scenes with deaf foster dad could have been extended into a full movie. Peanut butter all the way to the edges. That assisted living home scene made me tear up.

Yeah, their dynamic was really sweet. When he serves him lunch with the little towel on his arm :3:

Also for any newfound Elgort fans, I'd strongly recommend The Fault In Our Stars. It's kinda sadness porn but Ansel genuinely shines in it.

Plus, Buddy was probably pretty sure that he was about to kill him. It's almost like he saw it fitting that Baby would at least die deaf.

At the beginning Baby wears Wayfarers like the criminals in Reservoir Dogs. When he betrays the gang he's wearing Clubmasters like Mr Orange. Is this something? Am I reaching?

With any other director, I'd say yes, but this is Edgar "made the lights in the window of a moving bus heart-shaped" Wright
