"Connor O’Malleys best work yet"
Ah that's right. Such a transgressive film. (lol)
Was the sequel any good? I like watching trash movies and getting mad at the imperialism sometimes.
I just watched the sequel the other day and it's an entirely different film from the first. It was basically going to be its own thing with a lot of the crew from the first movie, but yeah the studio interfered and wanted them to turn it into a sequel. Antonio Banderas is practically playing a different character altogether.
o word he's still in the sequel tho? I have had a crush on him for about a thousand years.
Haven't seen it myself. It has most of the same cast, but the writer said the studio butchered his script, and Villeneuve is replaced as director by a guy called Stefano Sollima. Sollima apparently directed a film called ACAB in 2012 so maybe the politics are good? I've heard there's a bunch of action schlock though so idk.
Ah word. Yeah idk either. I feel like there's a reason I gave it a miss, probably dunked on via podcast or something. Not like the original wasn't but it was pretty much zeitgeist saturation and hard to miss really.
I think I've seen ACAB but fuck if I can remember anything about it.
