You know what the problem with Hollywood is? They make shit. Unbelievable, unremarkable shit. Now, I'm not some grungy wannabe filmmaker that's searching for existentialism through a haze of bong smoke or something. It’s easy to pick apart bad acting, short-sighted directing, and a purely moronic stringing together of words than many of studios term as prose. I'm talking about the lack of realism—not a pervasive element in today's modern American cinematic vision. Take 'Dog Day Afternoon' for example. Arguably Pacino's best work, short of 'Scarface' and 'Godfather' Part One of course. Masterpiece of directing, easily Lumet's best. The cinematography, the acting, the screenplay, all top notch.But they didn't push the envelope. Now, what if in 'Dog Day,' Sonny really wanted to get away with it? What if he started killing hostages right away? No mercy, no quarter. "Meet our demands or the pretty blond in the bellbottoms gets it in the back of the head." Bam, splat! "What, still no bus?" Come on—how many innocent victims splattered across the window would it take to have the city to reverse its policy on hostage situations? And this is 1976, there's no CNN, there's no CNBC, there's no Internet! Now, fast-forward to today. Present time, same situation. How quickly would the modern media make a frenzy over this? In a matter of hours, it would be the biggest story from Boston to Budapest. Ten hostages die. Twenty. Thirty. Relentless—bam, bam! One after another. All caught in hi-def, computer-enhanced, color-corrected—you can practically taste the brain-matter. All for what, a bus? A plane? A couple of million dollars that's federally insured? I don't think so…just a thought. I mean, it's not within the realm of conventional cinema. But what if?
>>220382134Get the fuck out of my brain. I was thinking about this movie a few hours ago and I never see it discussed here.

Great soundtrack; listened to it for years when I had it.
Halle Berry's titties, explosion at the beginning with ball bearings, blowjob while hacking, Travolta being an asshole, getaway vehicle lifted up by a cable and a helicopter.
>>220382134Do you not understand that Hollywood exists as a institution solely to provide the tasteless masses easily consumable garbage?How are you going to sell a realistic, dark movie to theaters, knowing that only one of every thousand people might be interested?All the movies that are made through the lens of Hollywood exist to make money.Also if you want some realistic bank robber kino check out Dragged Across Concrete.Didn't do well at the box office, because the plebeians don't want that, they want faggots in latex suits shooting webs from their eyeballs.
>>220382245>blowjob while hackingits a kino idea, but executed in a mediocre way
>>220382300he's posted this stupid quote dozens of times
>>220382134I hate reading faggy shit like this and not being sure which one of us is the cocksucking retard.Either way I have no idea wtf you're trying to say.
i hope hacking culture comes back
>>220382727there will never be a film about cool AI bots doing all the hacking now that humans are obsolete.
>>220382795the hackers in the future will are the luddites/anti ai people of today
>>220382134i never noticed how close together john travolta's eyes are

>>220382727Think the last major things hacker culture wise were Mr Robot and to an extent Halt and Catch Fire?
