Paid Members chokeout Posted July 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 What did Human Traffic Remix do differently? Â Edited in some new scenes, change the graphics and updated the soundtrack (which ruined the film) There was a big thing at the time with the cast and Director disowning it as it was recut by the producer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Green Posted July 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) What happened to Denzel anyway? Training Day was like 11 years ago and the only thing he's done of remote interest since then was that runaway train movie...the one that wasn't a remake... Â Off the top of my head American Gangster, Man On Fire & Inside Man all came out after Training Day and all were awesome. I tried to get through American Gangster but I found it very bland. Probably wont attempt sitting through it for a while after Ridley Scott's recent attempt at destroying his legacy as a film-maker. Man On Fire, admittedly, I'd forgotten about and it was decent. Inside Man is ridiculously awful though. Edited July 30, 2012 by Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 This is the most pretentious film review of all time. It's about Drive. See how far you can get:- Â It is a one way street and there, Walter Benjamin says: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 What a shocking load of wank. And this is from someone who liked Drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Got to the second line of the second paragraph. Â Marko Bauer is a publicist, a failed copywriter and an even more failed writer, a horoscope author that does not believe in astrology and a renowned translator of jokes and inventor of headlines. He lives in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Â Surely he works in the media department of a university as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra1000 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The message is an endless proliferation, reproduction, a reflection of a reflection of a reflection  2nd line.  Though I returned to it and forced myself to read it all. I have a sore head now.  I usually like reading a lot of stuff posted on Senses of Cinema, but this, no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 See, now, Casino Royale is a good film. But it's not a good Bond film. In fact, it's not really a Bond film at all. Â It is overrated, but I enjoyed it. Eva Green is a fantastic actress, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You probably won't like Quantum of Solace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheman Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 nobody likes quantum do they? Â was a big letdown after a good start for Craig. Skyfalls looks like a good mix though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 It's a mess, but I enjoyed its short length and Mathieu Almaric's hysterical fighting style at the end of the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 1, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2012 I didn't think Mads Mikkelsen was all that great. I think I was distracted by how much he looked like Andrew Marr as well. But Isaach De Bankole was ace. He really should have been in it more.

Loki Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 As much as I enjoyed the Moore-era Bonds, you couldn't make them now, it'd be ridiculous. Casino Royale was a return to the darker style of the first few Connery movies, so to that extent it's "authentic". Â I really love Casino Royale. It was a huge, huge quality leap up from the miserable Brosnan films, ranking up there with my favourite ever Bonds. Quantum of Solace dropped the ball a bit, but it was still a decent watch. Â One thing they're doing differently is having Bond as a character develop and change over the series of films, whereas previously he essentially reset at the start of every movie. His relationship with M is particularly good, and it looks like this film will develop that a lot more. Â In my weird headspace, the name "Bond" is basically something that comes with the 007 position. Each Bond is a new person that's taking over the mantle of 007, and therefore taking on the Bond name. So this chap is very much a 21st century Bond.

Vamp Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The thing that worries me about the next Craig film is that yes, Casino Royale was pretty good, but I think that has a lot to do with sticking so closely to the original novel (or at least the last half of the film did). They then had a chance to make their own plot and it was a mess. You could tell whoever scripted QoS had no confidence whatsoever. Â The other issue is that they sold Casino Royale as a true depiction of Bond, which isn't really true. Even if you ignore the films, the Casino Royale novel is quite different to some of the ones that followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
