This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year in Cinema" -- 2012

Less interesting than JGL? really?

separate Oscarshit read now plz

I thought that's what this thread was

It is.

there ya are

OSCARS 2013

JGL was also uninteresting, but mainly vestigial.

I changed my mind. There really can not be too many threads about year-end movie instant canonization times.

Someone start the NYFCC anticipation thread!

this is the 'long game' apprec thread for identifying current films that will be regarded as great after the fall of the American Empire.

Hah, no it's not.

There is no thread for doing that.

it will be my tireless mission to do that here

(obv joke, but I will boycott the Oscar thread)

Technically, I created "detrius" threads to talk about all the "detrius" that is meant to either inform or preemptively contradict the eventual Oscar results.

This is the thread where we discuss EW's take on Alan Arkin's Oscar hopes.

But, by all means, post Dardennes over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

Take it to the Hot Chip thread, sailor.

looks like a stroke, damn

the Oscars are no longer a climax as much as a postcoital shart

From this thread to you, Morbs:

http://mostlyfilm.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/gremlins.jpg

No real actual detrius until Nov. 27, when the Independent Spirit nominations are announced.

*backs slowly out of thread*

I really don't understand what I've done to merit Cloud Atlas in my mailbox.

s1ocki! You got my invitation! How nice of you to arrive!

How nice for s1ocki. How nice for everyone.

Honored members of ILX Detrius Society, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: What is there for me to say? Everything wise and witty has long since been said - by minds more mature and talents far greater than mine. For me to thank you as equals would be presumptuous - I am an apprentice in detrius and have much to learn from you all. I can say only that I am proud and happy and that I regard this great thread not so much as an award for what I have achieved, but as a standard to hold against what I have yet to accomplish.

I will boycott the Oscar thread

the oscar grouch

Still not 100 percent sure of what Morbs is going to use this thread for except to post a bunch of links to TL;DR articles.

for starters i'm going to google TL;DR

I wouldn't, it's really long.

Just got digital screener access for these. What's good?

How to Survive a Plague
The Loneliest Planet
Your Sister's Sister
On the Road
First Position
The Central Park Five
Sleepwalk With Me
The Flat
Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry

ai weiwei doc is only one ive seen. its pretty bleh

i liked your sister's sister

zing

oh no wait

carry on

Really want to see The Loneliest Planet. Might have to (gasp) buy a ticket!

opened here this weekend

is GGB nude in it?

Your Sister's Sister has one my very favourite scenes of the year, when Iris and Hannah are whispering to each other late at night in bed. So beautifully conceived and played.

Wasn't as enthused about the film as a whole.

Finally got my Magnolia/Magnet pack, along w/ a couple others - 28 in total, just from today (so far). Yikes.

nice to finally have a copy of Beyond the Blac Rainbow, wish I had a big ol' TV to watch it on.

Cahiers top 10:

http://www.fandor.com/blog/daily-cahiers-2012-and-sundances-2013

I missed Cosmopolis, no DVD r1 on the horizon, guess I'll have to wait til spring.

i really want to see that faust

I did see and like In Another Country the other night, prob not Top 10 material for me tho

Can't imagine Cosmopolis won't end up in my top 10 as it stands on Jan. 1, 2013. Of course, odds are I won't see most of Cahiers' top 10 list until many months later.

the lack of a Cosmopolis R1 release is strange.

also wonder what clever sods will cheat and put it and Holy Motors in the same spot on their list because they're both centred around limos and weird

Critic K3v1n B. L33 on FB sez: "As of now, both the best and worst films on my 2012 movie list are set in Iran. Both are about how filmmaking can save lives under threat of violence and oppression. Only one of them actually demonstrates exceptionally resourceful filmmaking in action. The other is just a recycling of 20th century "third world action movie" cliches, reeking of Hollywood's smugness over the power of its lies."

let me guess...
