    Oh yeah, and since I'm in mad rant mode I may as well pour scorn over a few other traits that are shit.
    First and foremost I want to give a HUGE fuck you to Dickhead 777 for being such an unmitigating cunt.
    Secondly I'm sick of the sychophantic brown-nosing retorick that populates this fucking board.
    If you don't agree then argue your case, do NOT infract me like a lowly spastic.
    In summary - I love everyone so all you infraction happy tossers can suck my fat one.
    Here's looking at you kid (DM).

    Dude you are a fucking loser. My god, everything that comes out of your mouth is about me. Grow the hell up. Can we perma-ban this asshole now? I didn't even read what you said, just saw "huge fuck you to dmhead777". Shit is getting annoying. No one agrees with you about anything on this board. Please kill yourself. It's the fucking internet, if what I say bothers you that much then please log out and never log back on again because you're a fool. I'm going to keep giving infractions you until you are perma-banned completely. Can't deal with you and your constant negativity towards me. All you do is cut down other members and say the most random and non-useful shit on here. Deal with it.

    As for Drive, i fucking loved it. Thank God Fulcento has a shitty taste in movies.

    The other thing with the mood and retro feel that wouldn't be as obvious to folks who don't/haven't lived in LA is, while achieving a retro-80s feel the director also made a pretty faithfully contemporary picture about parts of LA culture. The whole hipster scene (which he's placing the film smack in the middle of using Echo Park) is steeped in 80s culture, especially when it comes to music. There's tons of little indie bands and French Pop cranking out that sound. It's part of the irony that permeates certain parts of the city.

    Before moving back to Texas I lived in downtown LA for a couple years after being engaged to a girl that was from this scene. She'd take me to these little underground clubs and stuff. It was entertaining on extra levels for me, since I'd actually grown up in the 80s and it was funny to see all these kids running around in non-prescription, black rim glasses thinking they were so cutting edge, LOL.

    It was a masterfully stylistic film, with some pretty sweet gore. But beyond that, it really lacked substance. Ryan Gosling could have done a lot better (or maybe that's just what the script called for, in which case the script was weak). It's not too difficult to stare off into the distance for 30 seconds and not say anything. I honestly think that little kid had more lines that Gosling. And while it was nice to see Albert Brooks playing a role outside of his typical comedic ones, he still didn't really make the role his own. Just about any actor could have done what he did.

    All said, it's still a nice watch because of all of the amazing visuals, but there's not much to analyze after that. You won't find yourself having any drawn-out, multi-layered Bladerunner or Inception discussions with your friends.

    Why compare it to an epic with complex themes? It's a well made, pulp crime drama with believable, human characters, ala Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, etc. with classic Western themes too. It does explore themes of honor and the difference between amoral villains and folks who could still be objectively viewed as "bad people". In a very real way, Ryan Gosling's character is an anti-hero akin to The Man With No Name (he is known as The Driver after all).

    I've never heard Fist Full of Dollars criticized for not being more like Apocalypse Now...just sayin'.

    One of my top films of last year. Although it is based on a novel it does share many characteristic traits with the brilliant Walter Hill movie 'The Driver'. This leads me to believe that the book is inspired by the Hill feature. 'Drive' also reminds a lot of my personal favourite Michael Mann movie 'Thief'.
