Heat

Just because it was the decade of the fox body doesn't mean they're all hideous

Cars today look like soap with gigantic wheels and high hoods and tiny windows and fucktons of flame surfacing and inoperable vents either because of or in an effort to disguise the regulatory compliance. It is illegal to sell a new production car that is not FMVSS compliant in the united states (unless you agree to not drive it on the road).
The 41 page document I linked above is a
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
to the enormous and bullshit laws governing U.S. cars. Europe has EuroNCAP which is also shitty and sometimes worse.
It is illegal to make a good looking car today that doesnt have massive skeuomorphism.

stop writing like a nigger

I enjoyed it less when someone pointed something out that I will have a hard time explaining here. I wish I could find the passage but it's up and vanished. I'll try to hit the key points here and add some other observations I had:

Heat is sort of an unromantic rewriting of the bank robber in the modern age. The anti-hero Robin Hood figure of old is dead. The crux of the movie is "don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." Characters on both sides of the law are atomized and disillusioned. They are separated from family and community, and any attempt to root themselves only ends in failure or betrayal.

The opening heist being done for bearer bonds sort of sets the table for the rest of the movie. The robberies themselves feel hollow. Their work is purely professional, done with all the enthusiasm of a 9-to-5. The gang rarely show emotion other than anxiety or panic. Waingro is the only person to let his feelings affect his decision making during a heist, and for this he is excommunicated. The gun fights are brutish and without honor. Nobody gets a heroic last stand; most die instantly after being shot, leaving not even a word before expiring.

m8, you clearly have shit taste, the 80s was the era of god tier sports cars and god tier racing.

I sure do like watching them NASCARs go faster than my automobile'll ever be allowed to by the federal government! Go FOPA!

Ach, the 80s. The good old days when you did not need a computer to get your car up and running. Also those cars were sexy af.

Its like you want me to laugh at you.
