Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

The ONLY vaporwave movie is American Psycho

No

Crusade.

Fuck you Verhoeven

Videodrome

hi i am drive

Miami Blues

My best vaporware movies are the sequel to Buckaroo Banzai vs The World Crime League, Jodorowsky's version of Dune and Lucas's version of the episodes 7-9 trilogy.

...

Jan De Bont's Godzilla is a superior vaporware movie compared to any of those.

This is now a vaporware movie thread

...

Tired = vaporwave
Wired = vaporware

vaporwave is a submornic subgenre for tweens with shit tastes and adults with shittier aesthetic sensibilities. the simple fact that vaporwave has yet to produce a single product, whether music, film, novels, or paintings of any artistic merit suggests not only are hacks with zero talent drawn to it, that it will also be aborted from history soon enough. good riddance, i say. vaporwave goes hand in hand with alt-lit, by far the worst subgenre of literature ever.

Man I'd probably watch Lenny Bruce doing The Comedian.

I'd actually never even seen this trailer before. I'm surprised 1985 people's heads didn't literally explode from this shit.

this is kino as fuck

Drive is synthwave, dumbass

Kung Fury

>nostalgic, almost satiric use of 80s aesthetics
It's full vaporwave, pleb.

babby William DeFoe?

vaporwave is like weird al: music for people who don't like music

it's synthwave you fucking retard

We're talking about the movie not the soundtrack, negrobrains.

I agree with the other guy. Synthwave. Calling it outrun or vaporwave is stupid. Other than the opening credits, it really doesn't have "satiric" use of 80s aesthetics.

The way you reduce it in your greentext makes me wonder if you're a highschool retard or if you haven't seen the movie.

That is one heck of a hectic trailer.
I need to watch this movie now.

Decent. Somewhat incoherent, but definitely has the nostalgic vapourwave feel.

>it really doesn't have "satiric" use of 80s aesthetics.
I don't think you can be an intelligent adult and not see how certain otherwise serious scenes in Drive are designed to elicit laughter from the over the top retro aesthetics. But I guess you fell for the autism meme and can't process the movie beyond that.

Chris Marker invented vaporware

...

...

One of the best motion pictures of the 1980s, hands down.

KINO

Some people don't like the Wang Chung soundtrack, but I think it's killer. Perfect for its time.

Yes

The soundtrack was the best part

Tron

How are these vaporwave if they're from the 1980s?

Sonatine?

...

>anthony perkins as Rorschach
That is the worst casting I've ever seen in my life

I've noticed a lot of films aren't vaporwave but some have some vapor scenes or sets.

Am I missing something? How are these vaporware?

Friedkin ALWAYS delivers Kino. Watching this right now.

This is a good answer if we're going by the original concept behind vaporwave, that is, mocking the corporate and uber-consumerist 80s.
I'd also say Wall Street

This is the only true vaporwave.

what does vaporware mean exactly anyway? from my understanding vaporware are just things made to pad something to make it good - sorry i'm getting my definition from ps1 having lots of vaporware titles

The two Ranma 1/2 movies.
The Utena Movie.
Blade Runner.
Altered States.
Soul Train reruns.

How is Blade Runner vaporwave?

*vaporwaVe is a genre of sample-based music
VaporwaRe is a hyped conceptual product that is never released. Like HL3 or the Phantom system
The music and corporate/commercial chic

...

I hate vaporwave as a meme because it's generally indulged by goofy white hipsters with bad taste in everything but I found this image and could think of no better title

thanks now i feel stupid lol

jfc it hurts it hurts ;_;

How about Wild Palms?

I just looked up alt-lit and still have no idea what the fuck it is. From what I gathered it's fiction that's self published and circle jerked into a small audience's mouth via social media platforms. That about sum it up?

Lawnmower man

nah
alt-lit is complying your gmail chats, tweets and facebook updates into a book and then self publishing it

corporate/commercial chic
Bladerunner is cyberpunk, which happens to share that element with vaporwave.

>designed to elicit laughter
Refn is an auteur in regards to this film. I honestly can't see Refn designing scenes to make some high school intellectual laugh.
>unironically not getting the film
leave

I'm serious by the way, watch the intro:
youtu.be/GObEXwnOgCo

Also there are frequent advertisements.

See I read that in the definition and thought it was too stupid to make sense, so I made it make more sense by saying it how I did. God the Internet needs to be restricted to professional use. The world's gone retarded beyond repair

youtube.com/watch?v=bSFDRhFReRk

you should watch alt-lit movies also
youtube.com/watch?v=Mcj0wrLBDoE

This is a really good movie.

The Greasy Strangler is pure post-vape kino

youtube.com/watch?v=K4xweNlOxps

Didn't mean to post the trailer, don't watch it. It doesn't represent it.

Refn has always described Drive as a being basically a fairy tale. There's clearly a subversion going on that you obviously didn't pick up on.

Blade Runner is the Vaporwave film par exellence.

Vaporwave (together with very closely related variants such as future funk/sailorwave/etc, which may as well all be rolled into the same umbrella of "Vaporwave" for any meaningful discussion) is a genre of music and visual art (often in the form of virtual album covers or youtube videos which crib old anime/1980s/90s movies as visual counterpoint to the music) which heavily samples 70s and 80s music, cheery j-pop, etc, mashing them together into a postmodern milleu. The conventions of the genre are fairly tight:

-actual existence as a musical genre which is almost totally derivative of earlier music
-emphasis on sampled melodic vamps which can create either a gloomy or a cheery delerium
-appearing to be "modern", or "approximating the old ideas of the future" from the 1980s, in an ironically quaint fashion.

So Vaporwave represents the 2010s nostalgically aping/invoking the 1980s, and a quasi-ironic effort to play at being "modern, ultra-hip" music by invoking the old forms. This is also why the statue of the Macintosh Plus album and its quaint CGI checkerboard-floor find equivalent expression in similar aesthetic forms, throughout the rest of the visual aspect of the medium. We are to be faced with the old ideas of what the State of the Art looked like, and by finding this quaint, we also read in a certain irony into the project.

You are all familiar with images of Arizona Iced Tea in this milleu. Simply insert Coca-Cola, to perform the same function. The ultra-modern cityscape of Blade Runner, later occupied by a geisha, is the visual aesthetic manifesto of Vaporwave itself. Just compare this image with the 2814 album cover. Consider also that Blade Runner was released in 1982 and is fictionally set in 2019; its dates are thus a perfect inversion of the nostalgia of Vaporwave itself.

The Blade Runner cityscape, that one shot (in its iterations) is the very apotheosis of the Vaporwave aesthetic.

stupid fucking post

KUNG FURY!

really makes you think

You're a fool and probably baiting but I'll bite. The movie is dead serious from start to finish. It can have an exaggerated aesthetic and still take itself seriously. If you laughed at any of the dramatic scenes then you just didn't appreciate what the movie was trying to accomplish and thought it was cheesy, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Crayon Shin-chan, prove me wrong

Vaporwave isn't dystopian, it's nostalgic and pensive. You're thinking of synthwave, which draws heavily from cyberpunk.

SEL

So synthwave is nostalgic? Thats more my bag

vaporwave also has 90s influence you faggot fucking NIGGER

No, synthwave is more dark and cyberpunk-y.
Vaporwave is all about nostalgia for the 80's-90's.
Of course synthwave also has nostalgia for the 80's, but its not as overt as vaporwave.

Is DJT the ultimate vaporwave president?

And future funk is what?

I love me some Aloe Island Posse.

Yes
youtube.com/watch?v=LXx8-iEX7cs

Did I even read your post? That was dumb to ask.

The dystopic aspects of Blade Runner do not at all impeach its role as a cultural aesthetic antecedent of vaporwave; to suppose that they do is reductionist to the point of absurdity and missing the point.

And what is that point? It's this: internet kids have nostalgia for (above all) the 80s, but also the 90s and even the 70s as other anons have correctly pointed out. So they express that nostalgia in a very particular way of cribbing visual and musical cues from the mass market art of the period of about, say, 1977-1997.

Vaporwave is a nostalgic, ironic, new iteration of postmodernism. It's post-postmodernism. And since Blade Runner is itself a film which has been closely related with the old popular discussion of postmodernism itself (ooh, globalization, coca-cola! new technology is coming (the internet)!), my central aesthetic argument about the importance of Blade Runner to all this is quite correct.

This is a good question. Donald Trump's celebrity and presidency itself suggests the consumerism and corporatism of 1980s Reagan America. It's a further example of Americans electing a celebrity president that people a generation earlier would never have believed could have been elected president. To keep the discussion firmly in the aesthetic, just watch one of the Back to the Future movies where Doc scoffs that Reagan could possibly be elected president in the future.

The point here being that the teens again express a cultural nostalgia for the 80s in the sense of electing a celebrity meme who adopts republican clothing. A generational throwback, like vaporwave.

just hammering the point home...

Notice how each visual composition is vertical slabs of city with Japanese connotation (one way or the other), with diagonal lines focusing attention toward the center of frame.

Can't believe no one's mentioned AKIRA yet

youtube.com/watch?v=qcOiJnWniWg

because there's nothing vaporwave about it?

remixes of weebshit from the 90's with a funky beat
youtube.com/watch?v=fSU92keEMAc

This is objectively false. Akira fits line-by-line most of the things that I have said about Blade Runner above (especially its 1980s release, its 2019 setting (it is very portentious that Blade Runner and Akira the films both share the same future year setting), and has the added advantage of being a classic, well-known anime. If you think that vaporwave is "only" this-or-that, and fail to understand the importance of old meme-anime to its aesthetic then, well...

Do you even understand what you are talking about?

This guy gets it.

But whether he understands that future funk is the single best genre of music to happen in about twenty years remains to be seen.

vaporwave is fucking GAY

youtube.com/watch?v=cZEiuK_jEBc

I don't need future funk
You're taste stinks already

where's the ironic hyper commercialisation aspect of AKIRA?

The prequels

this is the most retarded thread in the catalogue right now

VaporWave will never be taken seriously because of this kind of cringe shit you autismos do on the site

it's like you guys don't even know what VaporWave is

the only VaporWave kino there is are the fan made videos for the music itself

labeling a movie cyberpunk movie VaporWave for whatever reason is fucking retarded
if anything it is more akin to synthwave

take note, this is VaporWave kino
m.youtube.com/watch?v=Um7hzMXvRc8

Sans Soleil by Chris Marker is very vapory. Just play Macintosh Plus while you watch it, I guess.
