they saw it in their vision, they were doing what the vision showed them.

well they're not the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, they were trying to stop it, hence the change in roles.

it's another example for eric NOT to believe them.

it's not pre-recorded, it's just re-airing. Like all cable news channel, they loop breaking news. Like eric said, those stuff happened hours/days before (another example for eric NOT to believe them), but Leonard knew when they would re-air it from his visions. Hence his ability to repeat it.

Not ever having visited Chicago, I always found the suburban aesthetics as depicted by John Hughes appealing.

This movie is incredible, every times he fights the cops it's poetry in motion.

The answer to 1, 3, and 4 are all that they're elements to make you unsure if what they're saying is true or if they're crazy. It just isn't done to great effect.

Tron Legacy. I'm not a fan of the movie itself, but the soundtrack is amazing.
Mad Max Fury Road. Brothers in Arms is incredible.
Oblivion. Similar to Tron. Better film, but the music still rocks.

Thom Andersen's Los Angeles Plays Itself is L.A. cannon.
Chantal Akerman's News From Home is maybe the best look at New York in the '70s that you can find.

I'm not thinking of a specific scene but "Nightcrawler" starring Jake Gyllenhaal could be right up your alley

I wish I had the 5 minutes back that I just wasted reading this post hoping to get to the part where OP realizes he’s wrong and backs down. Geeeez!

You can definitely make a case for it being the best Bond film to date.

As an 11 year old the Fast and the Furious soundtrack was amazing. As a 17 year old the Transformers soundtrack was also amazing.

Reply to comment by ScientificAnarchist in Add realism by dialing back on attractive actors, give them bad teeth and hair, and have them not so eloquently well spoken. by BlessThisDay
I agree. However, I feel a new paradigm is in play, and the formula isn’t as standard as implied. Just comparing movies over the decades along with technological advances (accessible computer f/x, low cost high quality video equipment), cyclical cultural evolution, and access (movie theater prices, video rental, pirating, streaming) is chipping away at the stranglehold the financially risk averse have on the commoditization art. Marvel and big tent pole movies are narrowing the options for casual consumers. The original question dared to ask if we are watching movies or really long commercials for toothpaste and hair products?

Reply to comment by notoliberals in Is it just be that found the trailer for "In Bruges" to be deceitful? by notoliberals
Dude. All dark comedy comes off as “depressing” for some people. It’s dark. Snatch isn’t at all dark, so stop externalizing your idiotic mistake. Go watch Bullet Train and google genres.
Most dark comedies CANT really show what they’re doing in the trailer. It’s partly a marketing thing, and partly your duty to know what you’re watching

In Where the Crawdads Sing, the main character who lives out in the marsh is treated by the townsfolk like this freak that shouldnt be trusted, but she looks like this very attractive young woman who seems like she just stepped out of a salon everyday.
