The movie's like 4 months old ffs.

1997....19...97...
This makes me mad, like, serious, red-faced, ranting mad. Do you realize just how lazy this is? This is a franchise that fucking prides itself on how unoriginal and campy it is. They could have taken the plot from the film, gave it a new name and NO ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WISER. At most, people would've thought, "Huh, this seems familiar." and OF COURSE IT DOES! Because I Know What You Did Last Summer is one of the most generic teen slasher films of all time. That's what's so fun about it. It doesn't even try. You can just sit back, relax, and turn that shit on and know that you aren't going to see anything good or original...just some good, ole fashioned jump scares and boogeymen.
This is just cheap and it pisses me off...sooooooo much.
It's... not really all that like Persona at all.
Reverse Shot is doing a "symposium" of Scorsese's entire filmography:
Symposiums - Reverse Shot
Hopefully Lance will read these and see the error of his ways, stop praying to false deities like De Palma.

Lance is letting you know you're a moron with the "It's...". An "It's" without the ellipses means you have a valid fear but it's unfounded.
Happy to help out here.

Having seen Scarface, The Untouchables and Carrie...well...assuming those are among his best films, I'm not sure what the big deal is about the guy. All decent films, sure, but his style just doesn't move me at all. And I haven't even watched any of his films that get heavily criticized.
I will give Carlito's Way a fair shot though, that one sounds promising.
Blow Out, Phantom of the Paradise, Carlito's Way, Raising Cain, Hi Mom!, Sisters, Body Double, Dressed to Kill... they're all works of a master with a singular, absurdist point of view.
And Femme Fatale, Casualties of War, Snake Eyes, the unfairly maligned Mission to Mars. Not to mention Mission: Impossible is just about a perfect Hollywood blockbuster model. Anyway, don't like arguing about this stuff, but citing one blatant homage in his least interesting film and saying that he rips off Hitchcock is missing the mark. It only even applies to one subset of De Palma's films, but even then he does to Hitchcock what a master hip hop artist does to their samples.
Also I quite like Scorsese, just not so much the holy trinity of Goodfellas, Raging Bull and Taxi Driver aka the boring ones.
OMG that walking robot thing
