2004's Best Movies: 20 Years Later

I need to rewatch Kung Fu Hustle now that I've seen a fair amount of the films it's riffing on.

There was a list online (probably still is?) that detailed every reference in both Kill Bills and it wasn't a half bad guide for me getting into world genre cinema.

Does anyone still believe in objective quality?

A visitor to the Louvre in Paris viewed the renowned Mona Lisa and stated loudly, “That painting is nothing special. I am unimpressed.” A curator who was standing nearby said, “That painting is not on trial; you are on trial.”

“This novel is boring; it contains too many details about whale hunting,” insisted a student. The teacher replied, “Hermann Melville and his tour de force are not on trial. You students are on trial.”

This attitude doesn't serve to elucidate or educate, it's just a reinforcement of the snobbery of the so-called judge.

We are all on trial, and of course we're guilty as hell.

Does anyone still believe in objective quality?

No, but in a miraculous coincidence my personal tastes match the standards of objective quality perfectly
