 You're damn right. I'm sorry, ma'am. Oh, Edgar Wright, one of my best favorite directors in the world, and how did he do on Baby Driver? Let's get into it. My name is Brennan Keith-Avery, and this is just my opinion. This movie right here, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, was written and directed by Edgar Wright, and seriously, seriously to this day, this is still one of the best comic book movies of all time. Easily in my top 10, this movie is freaking fantastic. The only thing that makes me not get this movie a perfect 10 is because I hate opening credits that don't serve a purpose. And what's crazy is, Edgar Wright decided to do Baby Driver when things unfortunately did not work out with Marvel Studios a few years ago. He was supposed to direct that movie Ant-Man. He was actually supposed to direct that movie before Iron Man came out in 2008, but things just kept getting pushed off, and as the Marvel Cinematic Universe just came into development where more and more people found it popular around the world, this penny-pinching, money-saving executive dictator over at Marvel decided, like, no, I don't think what you have will fit within our MCU anymore, so Edgar Wright decided to chunk the deuces, like, hey, I'm out. I know what I'm doing. Y'all don't have faith in me. I'm gonna go over here and make Baby Driver and leave y'all to Ant-Man. Ant-Man turned out to be pretty good, and unfortunately, that penny-pinching executive that I was talking about is, his name was Ike Pearlmutter. He was the guy that was standing over Kevin, not Kevin, let's say, Kevin Spacey. Kevin Spacey is in this movie I'm about to talk about, Kevin Feige. But you know, Kevin Feige was about to quit, so I'm like, hey, I can't report to this Pearlmutter guy no more. He is messing up the creative juices in this MCU. I'm out. And Bob Iger or Alan Horne, whichever one of those are higher than the other one that we're at Disney, was like, okay, you can just come over to us, and they found somebody for Ant-Man, and unfortunately, it was not Edgar Wright that did Ant-Man, but Edgar Wright decided to do Baby Driver, and I'm very glad he did because this movie is something that I've never seen before. Now, other films that Edgar Wright has directed, like I just said, Scott Pilgrim vs. the other one, he's also in charge of the Cornetto trilogy with Shana of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and World's End, and I do love all of those movies, they're very funny. Those particular movies are not for everyone, they're for people like me and my particular taste, you know, but if you're curious, you know, look them up somewhere and I think you will have a great time. But what I do like about Edgar Wright and his directing style is he really is an art tour inform, I mean, when he has his stamp on a movie, you really can't tell because he just tells his stories in ways that no other writer or director can. And that just goes with just the way, what he does with a lot of behind the scenes that a normal director wouldn't, you know, even look at. Every director has a score or a soundtrack in his movie, but Edgar Wright is actually a person that can actually make the music in his movie a character and be the most prominent character overtop the live action people, whether this Angor, Jamie Foxx, John Hamm, or John Berntaw, anybody. I mean, the music in this film speaks volumes in more ways than one. And that's also what makes the main character, Baby, you know, so fascinating and I even just like that. His name is Baby. I mean, you know, anywhere you go, if you tell someone your name is Baby, they're going to kind of give you that double tick like what, Baby, B-A-B-Y, and he just runs with it. And like he's just so smooth with it. And what I love about his character is he's so confident, but he's not cocky. What I like about him is he just has his own like set of rules that he abides by. It can't be shaking no matter what comes into his path. I mean, and he's in all the Divergent movies, the Divergent, Insurgent and whatever else kind of detergents there are. And those films are not bad, but they're not good either. He was also in Paper Towns and I never really, you know, paid attention to him before, but when I was watching his movie, I was like, there's just something about him that just seems so familiar to me. And when you're talking to him, he's just a genuine guy that just, you know, just happens to be in this predicament and he just wants to get out of it. And that's the gist of this film is he has to work for this crime boss for reasons where you have to find out when you have to, you know, see the movie for yourself. But there's just something about him. I mean, he had an accident when he was younger while he had headphones in his ears and that created some humming. So he really can't go throughout his day to day unless you have some type of headphones in his ear. And I like how the movie took that device and actually used it for the soundtrack of the movie. And I just like how he I could just tell he was having fun in an editing room in the mixing board, you know, mixing all the sounds because it just really does bring the scene to life, you know, in ways that you can't even imagine the ways that you've never even seen before. And when baby is driving his car, he is driving the shit out of this car, like a true professional. I mean, like, oh, my gosh, it's just crazy how skillful he is in this car. He I mean, he is just so calculated and focused on every square inch of the car and making sure that it does exactly what it's supposed to be. And what the film really is about is just baby, he is a driver for these jobs with holding up people, robbing people, just trying to rob a bank, rob this place, you know, just doing bad jobs with dirty money, working for a crime boss. And he really doesn't want to do it. He has to do it. And he's just trying to get out of the situation that he's in. And he's just like almost there. But, you know, you have Kevin Spacey coming in, talking about, no, you know, one more job. That means we're straight. That does not mean we're done. And for Kevin Spacey to be the bad guy in this movie, and there are multiple bad guys, he really is a good one without even being that threatening. I mean, he's not real strong and muscular. He's not, you know, he doesn't have an entourage of big, you know, swole guys that'll, you know, break your legs. He doesn't care around knobs, guns, whatever. He's just some regular guy in a suit. But it's just something about his character to where you like, okay, you don't, it's just something about him to where, when he says something one time, you know to believe him. You know that he's just not messing around. He never raises his voice. He's just something that's really, really, really scary about his cool and calm nature about the way he gives instructions to a world like, man, you know, if I cross this guy, not only will he hurt me, he will hurt me, everybody that I care about and all the people that those people care about and will also make sure that your grandchildren feel it too. And that's just kind of scary. But then again, you have Jamie Foxx over here who is an asshole, a bad guy. But then again, you have John Burntall over here who's a different type of bad guy. And then you have John Ham over here with his girlfriend. There's a completely different type of bad guy. You don't know who is better than the other person. You're like, man, you know, I hope they all get along because if the crap hits the fan, there's gonna be a lot of blood everywhere and a bunch of bad guys dead and, you know, nobody's gonna know what's going on. But, you know, that confusion on screen just kind of makes you just that much more exciting. And when you think the film comes up to a halt, it doesn't. I mean, it just turns around as a 180, like he baby does in his car all the time and the plot just gets thicker and thicker and thicker. So I'm like, wow, I thought I knew how this is gonna play out, but nope, I was wrong. Or where are they gonna go with this one right here? And the whole film from beginning to end is just so unconventional. Like, seriously, this is not a normal three-act story. This movie has a great ending, but that isn't necessarily me. And it's a happy ending too. It's an ending that I slept and watched and I was like, okay, wow, you know, I can accept this. You know, this is somewhat realistic. And going back to baby's character, who I love, I mean, he's just so peculiar in everything that he does. I mean, he just does these little minute things that just would not matter to anybody else but means the world to him. I mean, I really do respect the chores and the hobbies that he puts himself through just to get him through his day. What puts a smile on his face to where it may seem like the stupidest thing to you, the most petty thing in the world. I mean, it gets him off and it gets him through his day and I like that and what just makes his character that much more different than anything I've ever seen before and just makes him stand out. And so where I want to see this movie again I normally don't even see movies twice in the theater but it was just something about his character that really intrigued me to where I just want to know more and more about him. I wouldn't mind just like really sitting down and having a sandwich with this guy just to see what events led him to where he is today in his life. And this movie has been marketed as an action crime musical. It does have the action. It does have the crime element and it does have a number of great musical numbers that I'm sure everyone will appreciate. Now the ending did get a little, you know, a hunky dory crazy to me. You know, when the good guy is facing the bad guy I don't like a ton of monologuing. If you have an opportunity to take out your phone do it right there. Don't talk crap for five minutes. Like, oh, you finally beat me but you thought you beat me and I'm right here and you made me lose somebody but now you have to lose somebody yourself. I mean that whole time you could have shot the guy or, you know, shot this other person or whatever but you just sit there monologuing and it just kind of gets, you know, like Looney Tunes cartoony or whatever and I'm just really not a fan of that. I really did like this movie. I do like this movie better than The World's End but it doesn't come anywhere close to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead. If I had to rate Baby Driver out of a one out of 10 I would give it an 8.5 out of 10. Yes, an 8.5 out of 10. And this movie ends and like, there's just some stuff towards the end where I'm like, oh snap. I did not think they were bold enough to go there and to be honest with you, with Edgar Wright in this film, this way I can somewhat understand why Marvel was a little hesitant to have him on as a director but at the same time, we do need to mix up things and Edgar Wright is the perfect person to do that. So I gave it an 8.5 out of 10 but guys, that's just my opinion. Have you seen Baby Driver yet? Do you want to see it? How about Turn G1? How about Turn G1 Off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me? Let me know in the comment section below. Let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing. And guys, I really need your help. I cannot wait for Black Panther to come out next year, February 16th of 2018. I will do anything, nearly anything to go to the red carpet premiere. I want to go so bad. I love comic books. I love Marvel. I love Black Panther. I'm a black guy if you haven't noticed and that film is being released in Black History Month so that would just be like the biggest epic dream come true for me.
