Intermittent Denial of Service attack is causing downtime. Looks like a kiddie 5 min rental. Looking into some solutions.
I hope it's good. Lock Stock was great, Snatch was great, and Rock n Rolla was forgettable. I didn't pay attention after that. Has he done anything else?
I've never even heard of the third one.
It came out well after Snatch and long after his hype had died down. I watch it drunk in the barracks one night. You didn't miss anything.
I feel the exact same way about those 3. "Rocknrolla" had its moments but it didn't really make it.
I guess marrying to Madonna did a number on him. To me, he is the Brit equivalent of Tarantino, but much much funnier. "Lock, Stock..." and "Snatch" are ones of my all-time favorite movies, I hope he bounces back.
Is there three (four??) Matthew Mcconaughey's on that poster or just two?
Being that we're on KF I'm not sure if you're shitposting or a faceblind autist. You could easily be both.
Good God. There is playing into the troubled artist stereotype and then there's being a straight masochist.
I can't imagine

His later stuff was more standard Hollywood fare: The RDJ Sherlock Holmes movies, a King Arthur movie, and last year's Aladdin film. The kinda stuff you make when you're a decent enough "name" director, but don't have the clout to get your own projects off the ground. I guess he did enough dues-paying to get someone to fund his own shit, so he got to make this.
Edit: Oh right, and there was also that awful remake of Swept Away starring Madonna, which is best left forgotten.
Wow, I didn't realize he went full shill. I hope this is worth it.
I liked it but I prefer lock stock and two smoking barrels becuse it was a geniuely funnier movie. In all truth and honestly though if you were to call a movie the "gentlemen" you really can't avoid the the most supreme amougst us all
I really loved the King Arthur movie up until he pulled the sword from the stone, that 2nd half felt like watching a youtube summary of a King Arthur series, before that it was like Lock, Stock.... In The Middle Ages. The Gentlemen was ok, the weed angle was silly, and its really fucking obvious that Hugh Grant's role was added in reshoots as a narrative thread. Not as fun as Snatch or Stock either.
Saw it over a month ago. It was awesome. I had never seen a Guy Richie movie before, but I loved it. Great cast, excellent script.
What makes it funny is that the chinese guy is a virgin with rage
Watched it the other day. Doesn't have the same bite as "Snatch" or "Lock, Stock...", but it was really good. McCounaghey can do no wrong, the chemistry between Grant and Hunnam was amusing.
In the meantime, the top minds over at Letterboxd have this to say:

Is it pizza because he thinks Italians are all crimelords ergo a Guy Ritchie film? Wow.
