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.

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.

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.

I did see and like In Another Country the other night, prob not Top 10 material for me tho
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 25 November 2012 04:08 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Sunday, 25 November 2012 05:04 (eleven years ago) link
the lack of a Cosmopolis R1 release is strange.
― Gukbe, Sunday, 25 November 2012 05:05 (eleven years ago) link
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."

I've decided to see Silver Linings. Maybe this week. Maybe Life of Pi as well.

Really would like to see Life of Pi stoned, as Dana Stevens recommends.

Marion Cottilard in Rust and Bone.
although i've seen about 5 new movies this year so whatevs.
― jed_, Sunday, 25 November 2012 17:44 (eleven years ago) link
Don't see a thread for it here, but dear god is Compliance the single biggest missed opportunity of the year. It could've been one of the great real-life horror movies ever had they not made the decision to cut away to the smirking, pervert prank caller halfway through. Totally undermines the microscopic study of people fundamentally ignorant of their rights bending under presumed authority and instead turns it into a pretentious Phone Booth. (Am now seeing that a number of other reviewers have basically made that same argument.)
That said, Ann Dowd definitely gets swapped into Gerwig/Meryl's slot. The moment when she takes the employee's clothes out to her car without a qualm but pauses to make sure that she cleans up the fast food bags from the floor of the vehicle is just perfect.

Also, it was already an episode of SVU.

Unless Robin Williams was playing the prank caller in Mrs. Doubtfire getup, I'm not sure I want to watch.
― Bobby Ken Doll (Eric H.), Monday, 26 November 2012 04:19 (eleven years ago) link
It's certainly one of the drippier episodes in that it quite resembled a Robin Williams movie.
