Roy if I wait and watch it at the house, will it take away from the film? [/quote]
No. It only needs to be watched on the big screen to send a message that we don’t need or want the the same tired formula.[/quote]
I understand, but the way my life has been the past few months I dont have time to Buffalo Wild wings to watch a football game and get some chicken wings, much less go watch a movie. [/quote]
Cool. It’s not one of those movies you absolutely have to watch in the theater. That’s the point. I don’t think it was built that way; it doesn’t really belong there - which is why I think it should be watched in the theater ;)…
Gosling, Winding-Refn & co have already accomplished what they set out to do whether you watch it on DVD or not.

I agree. A statement needs to be made here, with the movie-going dollar.
If this film is allowed to be a “cult” film with a strong DVD market it’s not going to change the modern cinema landscape. If we pay to see this type of movie in the theater, and films like it, maybe they won’t try to force shit movies down our throat. Occupy Edwards/Regal/AMC!!!

Exactly. We live in a world where Drive is sued for not being an action movie, but no legal action is taken against Twilight for totally taking the piss out of the horror genre. [/quote]
“This is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the movie The Neverending Story.”
There a scene that sticks to my mind is when he went to the titty bar and started bashing that guy;none of the strippers looked shocked at all. Like they see it before. Very Surreal
Also,when he made the metaphor about the Frog and the Scorpion about him and Nino,I felt like he was also talking about himself. Like the frog would be how he acted around Irene and her son but his scorpion came out when the shit hit the fan.
This might be my most favorite movie of all time. I cant stop thinking about it.

I just watched it on Netflix. Great fucking movie, definitely one of my favorites.
What I really like is how Gosling is initially portrayed as a kind of shy, soft spoken person - his acting in this is brilliant, he just gives off that “good guy” vibe - and then it later shows what a complete fucking badass he is. I seriously fucking love this movie.

YES
Drive is one of those ‘feel’ movies you just can’t quite put a finger on.

Did the driver has Aspergers?[/quote]
Maybe. He definitely had a kind of aloof/driven (pardon pun) personality.
BUT my cousin has diagnosed aspergers and is not at all as Alpha Male/hardman/cool as this guy. He is just obese and anti-social, basically lol[/quote]
