More (1969). Barbet Shcroeder's first film.

German guy hitchhikes to Paris. Finds hot American girl. Goes to Ibiza. Gets addicted to heroin. All to an early, spacey Pink Floyd score.

:cool:

Could it be any more late 60s new wave? :unsure:

Westworld

That was amazing.

[spoiler]Even in his seeming heroics he still gets to fuck over his enemies. Although what's his grand plan? Murder bring sentience? Then again made it was a Hannibal bot.

Also, I'm kind of happy William found his answer. He looked so pleased. [/spoiler]
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

It was. Will need to rewatch series though, to wrap my head around some things.

Iron Man II (2010)

So there's  a world pavilion brought to us by a weapons manufacturer?  That didn't strike anyone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a bad idea?  (Old people driving slow on the interstate?  Not a problem they'll get out of your way in a second thanks to your very own cruise missile !  It will all be yours in THE WORLD OF TOMORROW.)

(Actually maybe they're on to something.  If I recall correctly the John Woo film "A Better Tomorrow" involved a lot of ordnance.)

In any event the film was a good deal of fun; not as much fun as the first, but still good.  Senator Gary Shandling was an inspired choice; the other antagonists were a little one dimensional (and had nearly identical motives to Jeff Bridges in the original film.) 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
