The Semen Demon

Is Refn an intellectual counterfeit? A one hit wonder?

What did you think?

Personally all I liked about it were maybe a handful of shots. The characters and story was shit. Except for that bitch with the crazy eyes.

Fuck me, don't tell me this shit was a flop. I loved Drive but Only God Forgives was terrible. I mainly like his movies because of the high contrast shots.

>Ja she is mortician and also makeup artist for the models. Is same job :-p

Eat a dick

>Can't understand symbolism and basic narration
>Thinks his opinion is worth sharing

The imdb message boards. That's where you belong.

>A one hit wonder?
Literally all of his movies are at least "good." Only plebs didnt like OGF or Valhalla Rising.

you're a tool

>thinks bashing audience over the head with rehashed themes about 'the industry' is symbolism

you need to upgrade to watching films and not flicks, kid

Read a book.

>Implying it was about "the industry" and not about beauty and feminity in a broad sense and how they are defined in our post-modern world

You didn't even understand it. You only saw the surface.

only saw drive and I kind of liked it but that asshole better not fuck up the incal

No it was about the industry. This was its throughline in visual language and dialogue. You're not fooling anyone with your pseudointellectual imaginations of what you wish this complexity-of-a-harry-potter book was about.

>Broad Green’s release of Amazon’s Neon Demon at 783 theaters drew $589K which isn’t a great opening for a film of this magnitude. The hope here was that Neon Demon would open to at least $2M-$3M.

flopped hard but it's a pretty cheap movie so maybe it'll make it back with international sales rights and VOD

Valhalla Rising is one of my favorite movies of all time. Watching it was like getting lost in a book.

Are there any public rips out? I already checked kickass and tpb. Many thanks appreciated.

There's a TS indy release on the private tracker I belong to. Do you want an invite?

t. pleb

You'll like it. It's unworthy of a financial flop, but my two closest cineplexs didn't even show it, so they aren't helping the matter

It wasn't about the industry. It took place within the industry, but definitely not ABOUT it. Maybe Zoolander 2 was more to your liking

>A one hit wonder?
Whenever someone says this I immediately trash their opinions. Drive, Bronson, Valhalla Rising and The Pusher trilogy are great.

I promise I didn't get a boner when Jenna tried to rape Ellie

There's nothing wrong with Zoolander 2. Did you actually watch it?

not seen it but I'm not surprised people are mixed on it

Worth seeing in theaters. Seeing it as big as possible with proper color and sound is important. I can't imagine seeing it any other way

Yeah i feel pretty much the same. Story was shit, visuals were awesome. I felt like i was watching a highly sophisticated L'Oréal commercial, but it felt too empty as a film.
I think he should have made it more concise, maybe just a short movie. Some scenes were unnecessary.

Are you fucking kidding me?

The quality of your opinions makes me disregard them.

Moving on

Jesus Christ, first you shit on The Neon Demon and now you're defending fucking Zoolander 2? If you aren't baiting you should kill yourself.

Thanks for the offer but I guess I'll wait until it shows up in theaters like said. Don't want to spoil my first time watching.

I'm not even that guy, if I feel sorry for you if you can't find time in your life to enjoy a stupid comedy now and then. Stop being so closed minded, there's room for both.

>beautiful but empty

like, i dunno, a superficial and moral-less model?

>A one hit wonder?
>what is Pusher Trilogy and Bronson

I liked his other more divisive movies too, but he has at least 5 movies that are agreed upon as great

Refn channeling Bava

but why did they eat her

i havent' seen neon demon yet, I'm excited to see it. I just stepped in to defend zoolander 2 and movies like zoolander 2.

Dumb comedies are good for you now and then.

The original Zoolander is a great dumb comedy, Zoolander 2 is a really bad cash grab.

>A one hit wonder?

You know Drive wasn't Refn's first film right?

>A one hit wonder?

There were three Pusher movies before he turned to shit.

>JUST TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF ITS A DUMB COMEDY XD XD XD

cancer

>cash grab

10 years later? Nah. It wasn't the best comedy I've seen by any stretch, but saying only the dumbest, lowest standard-having chumps would or should enjoy it is a bit off. It was definitely entertaining and keeps the jokes coming at a good pace.

He probably won't. If you ever check out Only God Forgives, it's just 90% Santa Sangre homage. Refn wants Jodorowsky's cock all over his autistic Danish body

yeah but that wouldn't make me like a model, so if the movie is superficial...why would i like it?
I mean, if it went on full abstract throwing away classic narration; i might have enjoyed it more.
But it started by this unoriginal description of the fashion world step by step...and then it goes into surrealism but only for a few characters? just why

Yeah, that's exactly what I said. You're pathetic, faggot. Can't turn off what you don't even fucking use, you piece of shit LMAO

Elle's ass looks better here than I remember it being on the big screen

I HAVE BEST FILM
LOOK THE MAIN CHARACTER WILL BE STEROID MAN ADOLF "BIG GUY" SCHICKELGRUBER FROM AUSTRIA
IS SYMBOLISM YOU HARD TO GET

Because models eat each other to stay on top. Refn is not one for subtlety

So what about the scenes where she sees triangles? Illuminati hommage or critique?

...

you have until Thursday to see it in theater :)

agree with the latter, but the industry is the monster, the individual models aren't to blame

they're doing another 5th element? neat.

it wasn't about the industry

I saw that in the other thread, two people said it ends thursday.

Checked here and Thursday is the last day it's playing as well.

I was planning on going again in a couple weeks but I guess Thursday it is.

never noticed the chick all the way in the back corner
