Oh baby- "Baby Driver" movie with a Twin sighting!

[stevesnj]

Can't stop watching this movie!! Few movies are theater worthy these days. But this is one is very worthy. #3 viewing complete. My eyes hurt now.

It is.

But it's a film/music nerds movie, not a car nerd or action nerd.

Shit tons of thematic framing, homages to French New Wave and Hollywood Silver Age. Stuff regular people don't notice but that gives critics hard ons, which I think might hurt it as regular people go "it was pretty good but not that good".

It's a fun movie with believable action, practical effects, cool driving. I will definitely buy it on Blu Ray, maybe I'll see it in theater's again if the occasion arises.

Excuse the double post, but this was Edgar Wright's first attempt at the concept, if you've got sharp eyes it's in the movie. If you enjoy this you'll enjoy the movie and the car stuff will just be a bonus.

Sharp eyes? It IS the movie. Brilliant. This, for me, just became more about discovering Edgar Wright than it was about the movie itself.

That's actually playing on the TV in Baby and Joe's apartment in one scene

Like Steve says, it's on the TV for a moment in a scene about 1/4 of the way in as baby flips through the channels. A little repeat of what was done in Shaun of the Dead (mentioned in the video below).

Watch the Cornetto trilogy and Spaced and you'll be on tenterhooks waiting for Wright's next project like the rest of us. Scott Pilgrim is pretty great too.

I thought you were only discussing details about his direction. Mrs. U. already wants to go back and see it again because she enjoyed it as much as I did.

I've seen Scott Pilgrim but didn't make the connection until last night with all my youtubing. We will definitely check out the Cornetto trilogy and Spaced. Instant fans of his work.

This is sitting on my shelf right now, I've been meaning to watch the director's commentary of Hot Fuzz with Tarantino and Wright, I think this afternoon is the perfect opportunity as I've just finished watching the Austrian GP.

Keep an eye out after the opening heist when baby goes for coffee and the song "Harlem Shuffle" is playing, the lyrics to the song are written on the buildings as he struts on the street, brilliant!!

Can confirm, pretty good movie. Very different from the norm. GF liked it too.
