So, apparently Baby Driver is actually kino. I'm trying to not be too hype for it so I'm not let down, but it's difficult when you see shit like this.
It's not like James Cameron saying "Genisys is going to be the best Terminator ever", I can actually believe this is an unpaid statement.
Friedkin wrote a piece last year on how great La La Land was also if that means anything to you.

God damn it. Don't do this, William. You've been one of my favourite filmmakers for fucking DECADES. Don't endorse this ADHD megatard shit.

yeesh
also I want to like this movie, and the reviews are all glowing. But holy shit the trailer is dog shit

You do know that Friedkin directed The French Connection, don't you?

I mean I'm looking forward to Baby Driver but why would Friedkin's opinion mean much to me? It's really odd how many directors are actually pretty gigantic plebs. A lot of directors, even the good ones, aren't huge cinephiles at all.
>I’ve seen the future of American Cinema and his name is Damien Chazelle. At the age of 31 and on the basis of his last two feature films, he’s a master storyteller in total command of his craft and with an uncanny ability to surprise an audience, with each gesture, each moment, each frame.
>In an industry dominated by CGI, his films have a handmade quality and are not only unique as technical achievements with stunning visuals, but moving as an emotional experience as well. That’s a rare combination today.
>His direction of actors is so skilled it’s invisible, as his actors seem inseparable from their roles.
“Whiplash” is a drama with music and “La La Land,” while it reminds us of the classic musicals of the past, is a totally original and relevant work for our time. By the way, and most important, these movies are filled with fun and joy. He’s been compared to Jacques Demy and Vincente Minnelli, two brilliant filmmakers to be compared to, but to me, his films are incomparable.
>He’s not simply a brilliant filmmaker, he happens to be a warm, modest, and engaging person with genuine humility. I mention this because these are rare traits among genius.
Whatever the future of American cinema, whatever forms it takes, Damien Chazelle will be a major force in shaping it.

Absolutely fucking disgusting. Just as bad as when Michael Mann hyped The Revenant.

Fair point. Maybe this isn't something I should give a shit about then and should continue my denial

I just saw a commercial for this. I had to make sure it's real.
