Election (Johnnie To, 2005)

Sexy Beast

can't tell if you're joking or not but i have no problem with him liking it, i just don't see the point in nominating an undistributed short documentary that played two minneapolis festivals in 2003

how many festivals should a film be seen at in order to get nominated and what population should the city (in which these festivals take place) have in order for the screenings to matter. also, what if the filmmakers were googleproofing their film's name in order to avoid being found.

the point is he liked it and wants to vote for it iirc

googled: "red barn" minneapolis film festival

on first page of results summeries: "The eight-minute film "Red Barn" by Al Milgrom will be shown prior to the ...."

I couldn't find anything when I hit the link though. city pages must be the only people to put it on the web, and have taken it off since 2003.

then if you google: "Al Milgrom" "red barn," you'll hit the motherload.

red barn owns, you goddamn philistines.

Milgrom temporarily left Marvel in 2000 after insulting just-departed editor-in-chief Bob Harras with a phrase hidden in a comic he inked.[4][5]

Al Milgrom is better known in the Twin Cities as the program director of MSP Int'l Film Festival. Haven't seen the doc, but strongly suspect a vote for it is a vote for the man behind it.

it's a conspiracy

Xpost Eric: Ha, I don't know about that, just kidding, and (x-xpost) yeah, not the Marvel guy.

Tape Store, I love lists and use lists all the time, and I often go back to these ILX nominations lists later for reference, sometimes for rental ideas, sometimes to check off things I've seen, sometimes to track down things I haven't. On the off chance there is anybody else who uses these nominations lists in a similar way, I offered up a list of the films I remember liking and still do. I organized them by themes (which you'll notice tell a kind of story, from love to death) and ranked them within themes.

These categories helped me think about the films in a fresh way, and I shared it on the off chance it would help others do the same, even if they disagree with the specific choices. On the all-time list I have at home, yeah, I include TV and music videos, though I haven't seen any Youtube-only work that would rank. I'm not hung up on length or medium.

If you view the nominations list as a checklist of what everyone should watch (of what they haven't seen) before voting time, and I'm sorry if I messed with this scheme, but I still think none of these is a waste of time.

Me Without You - slept on Michelle Williams movie

Trailer made me remember Wendy and Lucy, which I see you also nominated: Definitely on my ballot now.

Shattered Glass

...it's already on

Trouble Every Day (Claire Denis)
Three Times (Hou Hsiao-Hsien)

The Woods

The Woods has been nommed. Quite rightly. Not a bad film, that.

Pete I thought you lists were cool, although honestly with the amount of effort you put into them you might as well have made them their own thread, since they obviously kinda stand out in a way that irritates people in this thread.

Three Times (Hou Hsiao-Hsien)

Adored the 'silent' segment of this, the rest not much.

Brand Upon The Brain

AND!!

Apocalypto

Black Balled 5

Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple (2006)
No Direction Home (2005)

i've decided that in the end i won't force people to vote for only nominated films, though i assume anyone who is voting will end up nominating something they wish to vote for. but i still suggest mentioning the films here, because i will post a list of the nominees on the poll thread starting next month (polls will be open til around groundhog day)

Groundhog Day is an annual holiday celebrated on February 2[1] in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end. If on the other hand, the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks.[2] The holiday, which began as a Pennsylvania German custom in southeastern and central Pennsylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries, has its origins in ancient European weather lore, wherein a badger or sacred bear is the prognosticator as opposed to a groundhog.[1] The holiday also bears some similarities to the medieval Catholic holiday of Candlemas[3] It also bears similarities to the Pagan festival of Imbolc, the seasonal turning point of the Celtic calendar, which is celebrated on February 1 and also involves weather prognostication.[4]

xxp saw that Jonestown doc a few wks back, its pretty great...the footage nbc, i think?, got the night before everything went down is phenomenal

groundhog day came out in 1993, u might want to take it off the list

given the likely results I'd go for April Fools Day

i'd go for valentine's day because i assume it will be ilx's love letter to cinema

i'd go for labor day because tallying the results will be a heckuva lotta work!

Yeah, I remember tuning into that Jonestown doc kind of randomly when it aired on PBS and just becoming more and more uneasily fascinated as it went on and ended up watching the whole thing.

i'd go for 4th of july because there's sure to be fireworks!

ID GO FOR ARBOR DAY CAUSE IM SPORTIN WOOD

La Captive
The Custodian
Beaufort
(500)Days of Summer
Kept and Dreamless
24-Hour Party People
Chicken Run

ctrl-f

voting to start this week

btw are you going by iMdB years (which are oft meaningless for non-US films' seeability in America)?

I can't see how I missed La Captive, Sylvie Testud is in it.

i'm just gonna trust folks' judgment of release dates but if anyone can catch any flicks from '99 or whatever slipping in go ahead and let me know and they will be taken out.

They should be slipped in if no one could see em in '99.

Hope it's not too late, forgot about
Raising Victor Vargas
In the City of Sylvia
Wisconsin Death Trip

oh, and fuck:
Ballast

Carnages

ctrl-f

lol otm.

Chicken Run being mentioned three times gives me faith in humanity, tho.

so are we ready for this shit to get rolling or what?
