‘The Neon Demon’ International Trailer: You? You’re Going To Be Great
I have no fucking idea what to make of this movie. From any of the promotional materials. From any of the trailers. I just know that Refn is an auteur I keep an eye on, even if he is infuriating me. Even if it’s making me roll my eyes. ‘Cause the dude is doing interesting stuff, or trying to, or accomplishing it, or somewhere in-betweening it.

‘John Wick: Chapter 2′ Official Synopsis: International Assassins Guild Is In Trouble
John Wick Too Far Away, am I right? I can’t wait for this fucking movie, that I can’t believe is even happening. Well done, public. Well done, seeing the original movie. Let’s get this sequel DONE.
‘John Wick 2’ begins filming this Fall
Jesus Christ, John Wick 2 is really happening. And it begins filming this Fall!
John Wick is getting a VR first-person shooter
John Wick is getting a fucking VR first-person shooters. I don’t think I’ll ever play this game. But I love the news. Fucking *love* it. You see, I had my doubts anyone would even give a fuck about the wonderful movie. Now it’s getting a goddamn sequel. And a fucking VR game.
Fuck yes: ‘John Wick 2’ officially happening. Original directors returning, too.
John Wick seemed destined to be one of those movies like Dredd where we contemplated and heard murmurings of a sequel for years. To no avail. But it seems unlike Dredd, the Gods are smiling on this particular project.
F**K YES: ‘John Wick’ sequel in the works
Did you see John Wick? Yes? You fucking rule. Best action movie (maybe) of 2014. Did you not? FIX THIS SHIT. It’s out on digital video disc, ephemeral intangible files, and Bluest-of-Ray. View it. And prepare yourself for a potential sequel.
Video: Keanue Reeves’ ‘MAN OF TAI CHI’ Proof Of Concept Is Actually…Awesome
Keanu Reeves is directing a flick. I didn’t know that. Where in the Seven Hells have I been? Duder has dropped a proof of concept video detailing the sort of filming he wants to use, and the whole thing seems pretty goddamn awesome. Weird, right?
Strange Moments in Solid Movies: Prefaced Insanity and Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman Make Beautiful Music Together in Dangerous Liaisons
First things first: a self-indulgent, rambling preface.
I love movies, especially good, solid movies that work cohesively. I watch movies a lot, hoping that they will all accomplish what they set out to do (or, rather, what I think each is trying to do). Of course, every movie cannot be all-time success, because for there to be a good, there has to be a bad, and vice versa; it’s just how it works out. But when I see a solid movie, I take particular pleasure in not just how it works overall–in a well-made, impressive fashion–but how each part adds up to its collective impressive functionality. And when you watch movies a lot, you tend to become more aware of how specific moments, scenes, even sequences function within the stories being told. Ostensibly, these moments are all included in the final work for a reason–and I don’t think that it’s a stretch to say that the inclusions were made in an attempt to better it in an overall way, be they by simple character clarifications or complex expansions of the story’s universe.
