everyone is comparing this to pulp fiction but let’s be honest this is one gay couple away from being a gregg araki movie
The vibes of this movie are kinda like what would happen if you mixed fireball with caprisun
72/100
Surprised to discover that I never really wrote about this in '99, even though I saw it three times in quick succession. (Did devote a Scenic Routes column to Olyphant in the Santa hat, though.) Liman has done strong work since (notably Edge of Tomorrow), but Go looks more like editor Stephen Mirrione's* movie in hindsight, right from the moment that the Columbia logo gets usurped by ravers. His asymmetrical cutting keeps you off balance as the three-part narrative makes its unusual progression from menacing to outright goofy, like Something Wild in reverse. Still love the first and third sections—Fichtner's ulterior motive in the latter is one of the greatest shaggy-dog jokes of all time—and while I've always thought…
Deeply ashamed it took my this long to watch Go. In a year overflowing with game changing films, Go may not be the flashiest film, but it’s certainly one of the most fun.
Immediately one of my favorite Christmas adjacent movies.
SARAH POLLEY STANS!!!!!!!!!..... *Whispers*Assemble*Whispers*
Talking about a movie that has been on my radar since I was a kid. To this day, I still remember discovering the VHS tape in my video rent store. Unfortunately, I was a kid so I wasn’t able to rent it and I wasn’t really bothered about it because for 5 year old Rafa it didn’t seem as exciting as “Who Am I?” or “Dick,” none which I haven’t seen to this date.
It was only when LB buddies started to review it, including Luis, when I finally gave it a chance and let me tell you this film really does breath and die on the hill of the 90s. That might sound like a…
Oh my god, Simon the drug dealer used to be in Grange Hill*, was that why he was expelled! He should have just said NO!
Also one massive technical flaw in this, eyes are no way dilated enough at all.
This is actually the first time I have watched this since release, I have a very simple reason for that fact. At the time of release in late 90s there was an annoying "tw@t" who hung around the periphery of my then friend circle, calling himself "Money" after Swingers acting like "a made guy". "He was so Money", In fact he had tattooed the word money down his side, and would pretend to be this character, shouting catchphrases from Swingers,…
Wasn’t loving the beginning of this but as the film kept progressing I knew this was right up my alley. It’s a high energy fast paced adventure that’s full of insane hijinks and hilarious mayhem. This could easily be set in a Pulp Fiction world
Super fun movie that tells 3 stories in some sort of Pulp Fiction style almost. The first story is great and almost a hommage to xtc. The second one in Las Vegas is the most fun with some crazy dudes. The third one is my least favorite, mainly because it’s a bit too serious with not the most fun characters, although it brings the plot nicely together. Entertaining feel good watch with some vibrant (almost psychedelic) colors and a banging soundtrack.
Decided to check this out mainly because of Letterboxd's own legendary Todd Gaines. Glad I did. Go is a lot of fun, with a great cast (wasn't expecting to see Melissa McCarthy show up for about a minute there) and some pretty funny shit throughout. And, what a shocker, Timothy Olyphant - as the film-version of 'Todd Gaines' - was one of my favorite parts of the movie. Check this out for a fast-paced good time.
3rd times the charm.
Best way to watch this movie
- Do not read a thing.
- Do not pause / look at the timeline.
- Get really stoned.
The closer everyone gets to a theater experience with this, the better. The score rules but the star of the show is Stephen Mirrione. His editing is absolutely unbelievable. The rapid pace & constant excitement is so unique. It makes GO one of my favorite “what should we watch?” movies of all time. Funny, Thrilling and plenty of surprises. Ahead of its time in so many ways.
THROW THIS ON. YOU WONT REGRET IT!
