I was going to watch this but my GF stopped me. She said that she watched it already and it was shit.
>>215291071Your "GF" is a fucking dingus then. It was one of the best movies that year. It's a classic. The one that finally broke Crowe and Pearce in the US.
>>215291091>PearceWho?
>>215291071She was probably on her phone half the time which led to her being confused in regards to the twisty turny plot. It's one of the better movies in that genre
>>215291071oh no, she's retarded
>>215291071How's that 'tard sex OP?
>>215291071Your tulpa has better taste than the majority of /tv/. Good job lad.
beat up your girlfriend boyo
Hollywood should be legally forbidden to make movies set in LA. That sheen of romanticism they always have is so nauseating - an entire industry wanking itself off and expecting you to watch.
>>215291071It's a bit disappointing after the first watch. It's just fine tbqhwyf
>>215291324You're right, movies should be set in the middle of Iowa, where nothing has ever, and never will happen. It'll make for riveting films! And it's conveniently located hours away from where all the actors, production teams, and supporting industry are based, so they can all ship into Iowa for a few months to start filming their interesting movies!
>>215291071Your girlfriend is a hooker and she probably doesn’t even look like Lana Turner
>>215291324>didn't watch the filmThe entire movie is taking the piss about the glitz and glamour of L.A. it looks like heaven (because it's set in the 50s before the enshittification of the west coast had happened) but is actually hell.
>>215291071Why would you listen to a woman’s opinion about movies?
Second best neo-noir after Chinatown. Damn fine move.>have you a valediction, boyo
>>215291324But the opposite is literally the point of the movie, retard....
>>215291381>Iowa, where nothing has ever, and never will happenFucking retard, cedar rapids is in Iowa.
>>215291453>NYC and Boston are better cities to set movies inNo, they are not. If you had just said NYC you might have slipped by, but the fact that you said Boston exposed you as a Boondock Saints, Departed brained idiot
>>215291071She's not wrong. Read the book instead, it's great.
>>215291520It's an almost completely different story.
>>215291071That’s because she knows it’s not as good as the book
>>215291520>>215291530>>215291533ok do go on
>>215291440You don't need to whitewash a setting completely in order to romanticize it. That might be one approach, but it's pretty shallow and obvious. But to imbue even the sleaze and crime with this aura of great significance, that's worse - because the people doing it really think they're being genuine.If it were truly scathing, maybe not every single critic and Academy Member would have liked it?
>>215291647The book uses the same names and it's in LA but it takes place over ten years and there's not really a dramatic climax like in the movie, it just kinda ends.
>>215291071It's one of the greatest movies of all time. At least top 20. Not exaggerating.
>>215291533>>215291533Go fuck yourselves. This isn't /lit/. Film is its own medium.
Your girlfriend doesn't exist but if she did domestic violence would be warranted in this situation
>>215291071I think the "hush hush" shit is cringy, but all and all its a pretty good movie. All the black characters are portrayed as violent retarded sissy rapists.
>>215291900>black characters are portrayed as violent retarded sissy rapists.Which was proven to not be true like in real life where timmies are mostly the rapist incels
>>215291942Based.
>>215291942You're not even black. They don't some faggot or pajeet to fight for them.
>>215292102>They don't someGood morning saar
>>215291942giga chad
only bad part about the movie was the devito voice over. the rest is fine
I was bored and decided to watch this because it had a decent rating and I had nothing better to watchI was blown away and thought it was a solid 8.5/10 filmJust a complete masterpiece of entertainment which gripped my attention within 5 minutes and kept on escalating the excitement until i was sadly a bit disappointed by the ending but whateverAs an Australian it was extra awesome to have two Australian leadsI loved this movie, thanks for reading my blogpost
>>215292762Devito and spacey where the low points of the movie. They couldve removed them and the story is just fine
Spacey raped guys asshole. Fact
Try Babys Day Out. Bitches love babys
>>215291474The Crazies (2010) too, it takes place on a town next to Cedar Rapids
>>215292798Meh shill
>>215291520She is very wrong. your milage may vary but its either a very good film or a great film depending on your tastes
>>215291751Really? I havent read L.A Confidential but i heard its not his best, i found American Tabloid complete book excellent. The others in the trilogy are great but they arent as interesting but maybe ill change my mind later.
>>215291071well i guess it's harry potter then
>>215291071it's pure kino
the the usual suspects and this is a great double feature.
>>215291117The GUY (hint) in the movie right there with the shotgun.
>>215294988A nobody. Probably a faggot irl
>>215291071It also broke back Pearce and Spacy
>>215291071if women hate a movie that usually means its good
WHO LAUGHED!!!
>>215295602Incel detected
LA Confidential is what I thought Chinatown was going to be. Chinatown is fucking dogshit.
>>215291520>>215291530>>215291647Isn't Elroy a hack and a poor man's Elmore Leonard though?
>>215291071If you had a gf and this had really happened, you should have ignored her. This is possibly my favourite film - certainly top five. (The book is even better, though, and it could have been adapted into an even better series in the before-times.)
>>215291071I loved this movie. It's kind of perfect.
>>215294701Oddly, I got bored with his Underworld USA trilogy and didn't finish them. But I recently burned through Perfidia and This Storm (haven't yet finished The Enchanters), so maybe I should give them another go sometime. I'd say it's best to treat the LA Quartet as one giant book and read them in order. The "my case is your case, and also your case" scene in LA Confidential is especially awesome.

>>215296896>le samourai>no weebs clashing katanasLame
>>215291071Your gf is a fucking retard. I'd roundhouse kick her in the head were she in the room with me at this moment.
>>215295900You are dogshit if you can't appreciate both.
>>215296926
>>215291071Your gf sounds based. All noir films suck.
>>215291071Shit woman, shit taste Watched this with my gf and she thought it was based, correctlyShotgun Ed scene is still exciting
the ending is pretty bad but it's a comfy watch overall, nails the atmosphere
>>215291071https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32M2N3zD-Tk
>>215291723You sound like you're just seething that they made an entertaining movie instead of some boring communist piece of shit
>>215291071Your GF is Rollo Tomassi.
>>215297605>the ending is pretty badWhy?
>>215298465the whole ambush scene is retarded, but that's probably the single really bad thing about the film
>>215291285Irish people don't talk like this
