In case you haven’t heard, here’s a reminder that Baby Driver has been added to the list of required viewing for all oppos. If the threat of loosing your license to shitpost on the worlds finest automotive subblog isn’t enough to convince you to get your ass out of your chair, and plonk down 15 bucks to sit in a movie theater’s chair instead, here’s a little tidbit to prove that director/writer/creator Edgar Wright may well be more jalop that any of us.
Obviously if you were already planning on going, just go enjoy it. Get out of here or you’ll see the mild spoiler below the buffer image and you might decide to say horrible things about my mother in the comments even though I warned you! But for those on the fence....
Sooo the movie relies heavily on music, and on the idea of picking the perfect song for an occasion. Obviously since it’s a movie about a wheel man, one of the occasions the movie suggest perfect songs for is driving fast. And at one point in the movie, Baby chooses Radar Love to accompany him as he runs from the rozzers.
I refuse to accept that there is any explanation for this other than that Wright watched, and remembers(!), the early seasons of old new Top Gear. He’s one of us. As a British motoring journalistit might say, it was as if someone had reached inside my brain and pulled out a movie.

$15 for a movie ticket?! That’s just a few bucks short of the damn Blu-Ray when it comes out. Around here I can’t say I’ve seen more than $11-12 at most unless it’s the “4-D” chair with movement and headrest speakers and stuff.

I love how he just continued where he left off years ago. He directed a music video for mint Royale with the same premise. There actually is a small snippet of it in the movie.

Depends where you live. A regular show around here (not IMAX, 3D, or both) is $10 after 5. But down in Houston it’s closer to $15 for the same show.

On Tuesdays there’s a theater by me that has $5 matinee showings of all movies. While I COULD have seen Baby Driver, we had the kids and saw Despicable Me 3 instead. Plus that was the movie showing in the Dream Lounger theater, with the reclining heated leather seats.
Not bad for $5 each.
Now the $50+ we spent on snacks and drinks however....
