Can't wait till Thanksgiving.

we should just do a worst film of the decade poll - i think it would actually be interesting.

Fuck you, karl! Fuck you, Lamp!

What Sara said.

hel

Let's do a Worst Contributor to the ILX Film Poll.

sarahel = first name + middle initial + last initial

then everyone would have a chance to talk about how great some movies were

I don't really have any issues with any of the ones I've seen (33 of them), but I'd say that the Apatow flicks are the more head-scratchy ones in the top 50. And I thought Superbad had a bigger hype-to-quality schism than 40 Y.O. Virgin. So Superbad, even though I really don't think it's super bad. Or even bad at all, really.

of the ones on here i've seen, i'm gonna go with "battle royale"

i know ive already got a certain doctors vote wrapped up ;)

Let's do a Worst Contributor to the ILX Film Poll.

Will there be screencaps?

wdtwctilxfpll

Yes!

Ones I've seen and am not thrilled with or just don't really agree are among the 50 best movies of the decade:

The 40 Year-Old Virgin
Best In Show
Superbad
Donnie Darko
Memento
Ghost World
City of God

tie for me between pan's labyrinth and inglourious basterds

I didn't think anyone on that thread was totally insufferable - there was a lot of good discussion, though I could have done without so much fantasy football "what will place" "how many things on my ballot got in" type of posts, but that seems to be unavoidable with big ilx poll threads.

realistically this p obv o brother w/e

final boss^

fantasy football stuff is the best part imo

but I really like fantasy football

i prefer Juggalo jokes to fantasy football.

you can get both at once if you think up a good team name

georgia bulljuggalos

wow so many choices. initial instinct is oldboy.

i like Big Black and Shellac and a lot of other bands he recorded, i guess he doesn't like to say 'produced.' read quite a few interviews with him and he always came off as wicked smart but really hostile.

pretty much the impression I always got too

Donnie Darko is clearly the Moon & Antarctica of movies

This thread is very ( )

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

pfft

1. Mulholland Drive (2000 points, 63 votes, 17 first place) 10
13. Inland Empire (696 points, 25 votes, 1 first place) 3

I know this is a case of which one more people have seen. And I actually think I sort of prefer IE to MD. But ... what.

i think it being voted #1 had a lot to do with that

26. American Psycho (473 points, 21 votes) 0

Okay, you're all mad.

How ironic, considering Mulholland Dr. is much better than INLAND EMPIRE. As mentioned above, perhaps more people have seen MD and then gave up on Lynch.

it's clearly A History of Violence. overrrrrrrrrrrated sledgehammer-esque movie.

ilxors in having shitty taste shocker

i mean, y'all voted in fucking NAPOLEON DYNAMITE

wtf is The New World doing on that list, too....

After all vetoes and holds have been applied, I believe Grizzly Man now becomes the ILX Attrition Consensus Best Film of the 00s.

hahaha if warner herzog was to direct a film bout a toys 'r us employee who has lactose intolerance half the ppl here would be like OMG MOVIE OF THE DECADE

OMG MOVIE OF THE DECADE

OMG MOVIE OF THE DECADE EXCLUDING MONTHS APRIL-DECEMBER IN NONCONSECUTIVE YEARS

lol i knew my favorite film of decade would top this list.

yea wtf lost in translation was awesome

toys 'r us employee who has lactose intolerance is a deleted scene from ^^

oh whatevs man warner herzog gets free passes from everyone!!1!

want my pizza. now.

I would just invoke radio legend Tom Scharpling's quote that QT now makes hommages "to the terrible movies he likes."

Um, but Tom actually dug Inglourious Basterds a lot, so it's kinda disingenuous to use him in this context. You being aware of anything he's said, though, leads me to believe that you must be Spike, and I claim my $5.

For the record, I voted Mulholland as my top film of the decade, and I love it unreservedly, but I can wholly and completely understand why a person might hate it. It's a batshit movie with lots of scenes that go nowhere, plus lots of the usual goofball Lynchian tropes, and it was cobbled together from a television pilot. There are lots of valid arguments against it, but I still think it's brilliant and works beautifully nonetheless.

yea but the arguments often deevolve into "it dint make sense" too quickly with that one. i just hate that it's all on one track on the dvd. i mean i respect u mr. lynch on how you want people to watch teh whole movie without skipping scenes but that also means when yer goddamn cat steps on the remote and turns off the dvd player, YOU HAVE TO FAST FORWARD FOR A GODDAMN HOUR TO GET BACK

wants to skip to lezzing^

has no cat

I agree w/ the results of this poll way more than the real poll

I mean...assuming that someone held (f'rinstance) Kubrick up as a sort of paragon of filmmaking, someone whose work functions like an efficient, well-oiled, logical machine with no wasted parts, I can see that person being absolutely twitterpated by the unwieldy, gut-level mess that is Lynch at even his most reigned-in. Lynch is all instinct, and I understand why that might be a turn-off to someone who values intellect more.

I still don't know how to ffwd DVDs

i don't like either lynch (ya heard) or kubrick (much - i respect the craft a hell of a lot, but as a matter of personal taste no, except 'dr strangelove' which rules). they seem more alike than not to me. extremely controlling.

that's a bizarre criticism to make of a filmmaker.

i like plenty of 'unwieldy, gut-level mess' type films, i think i just don't find lynch's artistic fixations that interesting. his later films just feel like he's repeating the same tropes from his earlier films (all that roy orbison scene in 'MD' did was remind me of the much better one in 'blue velvet') without improving on them.

on the other hand, it's way easy to caricature/overstate kubrick's 'logical' side. 'the shining' is, in a lot of ways, a far more inexplicable and extravagantly bizarre film than 'MD', but one that engages and interests me a hell of a lot more.

that's a bizarre criticism to make of a filmmaker.

would you prefer i made a mundane criticism? which kind would be appropriate? please advise

19. Adaptation (545.5 points, 27 votes) 1

fuiud

calling a director extremely controlling is surely a bit of a tautology? iunno, don't have any time for kubrick myself tho hi5

16. Lost in Translation (597.5 points, 28 votes) 13
1. Mulholland Drive (2000 points, 63 votes, 17 first place) 10

fuck that!

ILXors taste of music >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> their taste of film.

it's clearly A History of Violence. overrrrrrrrrrrated sledgehammer-esque movie.

― Ballistic, Thursday, February 18, 2010 12:41 AM (12 hours ago) Bookmark

if only it were more like sledge hammer!

ilx's taste in hating stuff >>> ilx's taste in liking stuff

Which is why I wonder why Hitchens isn't respected more.

Wouldn't that fuck with ILX's poor record in liking stuff?

yes! good results (except that no one voted for History of Violence) (and instead voted for Anchorman).

what is ilx's taste in being ambivalent about stuff?

only alright

Self-important pricks standing around in their berets and jodhpurs, barking orders into megaphones. There should be a word for such people.
