Booing is exaggerated. I was at Shield of Straw and it had a handful but some press claimed it was a riot

Posted by: numbersix_99 on May 22, 11:18 in response to lobogotti's post sad to read that Only God Forgives had a bad reception...

The film is definitely divided. The Guadrian, for example gave it 5/5. Others liked it but not loved it, while some despised it.

sad to read that Only God Forgives had a bad reception coming out of Cannes... lobogotti May 22, 10:59

that actually explains why TWC-Radius is handling it... Oleg Max May 22, 11:06

radius always had it. they prebought it years ago before the film was complete. Tom Quinn handled several Refn films in the past Moviesnob May 22, 11:21

hmm. i thought Radius was created just about a year ago... {nm} Oleg Max May 22, 11:23

to handle sub-prime TWC flicks {nm} Oleg Max May 22, 11:23

company formed right before toronto in 2011, this was literally their first acquistion {nm} Moviesnob May 22, 11:26

they do their own movies. they are/have released some TWC films/dumps, but thats not the norm. {nm} Moviesnob May 22, 11:28

i see. thx for the info {nm} Oleg Max May 22, 11:36

Yeah I was thinking the same absolutley loved DRIVE.... also greatly dissapointed with the Hangover 3 reviews wich I was also gogreenytd May 22, 11:06

ouch, just read this one.. "The good news is that "The Hangover Part III" isn't a rerun like the second episode. The bad news is everything lobogotti May 22, 11:11

No wonder TWC is releasing it through Radius simultaneously with VOD. {nm} Antibody May 22, 11:07

yep, will be happy to watch it at home that much quicker. I hope it's not horrible though {nm} lobogotti May 22, 11:11

did you see it and if so, your thoughts? lobogotti May 22, 11:22

I saw it. Its not Drive, but its not bad either. Its got great moments, but the story isnt strong enough to match the style {nm} Moviesnob May 22, 11:30

I read the screenplay and thought it was certainly interesting. sad it's not Drive, but that's a lot to live up to. lobogotti May 22, 11:36

btw, your opinion on best out of Cannes thus far? {nm} lobogotti May 22, 11:42

I closed on Nothing Bad Can Happen today. That and Borgman have been my favorites. Its been a pretty good year between the market and the Moviesnob May 22, 11:44

congrats, sounds awesome (Nothing Bad)... lobogotti May 22, 11:46

Borgman looks great too... lobogotti May 22, 11:48

Drive was my favorite film of 2011 but I HATED Valhalla Rising MiyazakiFan May 22, 11:59

yeah, Rising was not too good IMO {nm} lobogotti May 22, 12:23

i think its more in common with Bronson than VR (which I loved loved loved), but its pretty different from everything hes done {nm} Moviesnob May 22, 14:20

Well deserved after that Drive nonsense {nm} thatpj May 22, 19:44
