Same. Those exaggerated moments really drive home the stylistic superhero themed neo-noirish feeling of the film.

Watching the Basketball Diaries and noticed that the opening fonts are the same, or pretty damn close. Thought that was pretty cool.

That's a bingo. As for the elevator scene: I believe the purpose was to conceal his identity for a short while while he composed himself: as well as wanting to kiss her, knowing he might not have another opportunity.

I'm not sure if it's just me or if over time people started disliking it more and more. When it first came out in theaters, everybody seemed to love it (me included). Now that it's been out for a while, a lot of people are saying it wasn't very good (some of the same people who were raving about it before). Time didn't affect me, I still think this is an incredible film.

Sony Pictures might have made a piece of crap cover, but the PQ and AQ are outstanding.

Time has nothing to do with it. Something gets too popular people want to come out and hate it. Happens all the time. Could be a I'm trying to be cool thing or overhype could be affecting their judgement. I speak in general though. Of course some people won't like it, but something that is loved doesn't just become universally hated a few months later.

True, some people may not like it. I'm thinking like you said, a lot of people though are just thinking they're 'too cool' for all the hype about it. It's ridiculous that people allow other's opinions to override how they feel about a movie. I saw it the day it came out and loved it. Saw it again when it came out on Blu-ray and still loved it.

Time or no time, hype or no hype, it's still an average movie.

In your opinion. I think it's much better than average, personally.

As do I. I think it's half beautiful, half darkly disturbing. You which halves are which.

Just heard and saw THE FROG AND THE SCORPION fable used in the new STARZ Original Series, MAGIC CITY. I wonder if they wrote it into their script after hearing it used in DRIVE?
