The (Now-Overrated) ILX Top 100 Films of the 2000s Poll Results

he's deep into his Wings phase now

So unbelievably not true.

You would have to be EVIL to dislike it.

AF is way worse a muso choice than High Fidelity

I think "Almost Famous" is a result of ILM-music-geekery seepage like "High Fidelity." Didn't like or really understand either film, both seemed pretty male-fantasy-oriented in a subtle way but strong enough to alienate me.

haven't seen it but it probably sucks.

Almost Famous is an abomination

At this point ppl who deny Spielberg's gifts -- I don't mean ppl who have reservations about them -- are like "Beatles suck" nihilists

I think this is actually a good comparison, as spielberg is gifted in the same way paul mccartney is - and equally capable of using that gift to create cheesy nonsense. (= mccartney's spotty solo career)

"High Fidelity" gave me a new self-consciousness about the rhetoric of my underwear choices, which is a trouble I didn't appreciate.

Yes. Stevie Wonder > Zeppelin

xposted but yeah, this

Watched 20 mins of AF on TV, thought "hold on that's the guy from Red House Painters wtf", turned off.

i don't think spielberg is much like the beatles guyz

yeah, a bunch of '74 rocker dudes are going to sing "Tiny Dancer" on the tourbus.

EdwIII and e.mil.y, get thee behind me.

Can we just change the poll title to Silent Majority Report?

was gonna mention almost famous as a good choice for 'most ilx bile' bait

AF gets the music scene/industry/actual music COMPLETELY WRONG its kinda mindblowing

Yes. Stevie Wonder > Zeppelin

iirc there is no actual Zeppelin in AF

oops, I meant Elton John. I always mix those two up.

Did anyone else see it thinking it wld be like "Lester Bangs: The Movie" bcz like me they are an idiot who got served some hot disappointment: y/n

yeah, a bunch of '74 rocker dudes are going to sing "Tiny Dancer" on the tourbus.

^^^exactly the kinda thing that grated on me so hard. so wrong.

almost famous >>>>>> high fidelity

hahahahahahahahaha

It's going to be such a disappointment when a movie shows up on this poll that everyone either likes or loves.

My muso choices were documentaries, for the most part. I didn't think that the main character in High Fidelity was at all believable as a music fan. And yeah, both films are fairly misogynistic, though I think HF is worse for that. After that, surprisingly, I don't really find either film repellent as simplistic entertainment.

Want to meet someone who hates 100%, every minute, of Wall-E, just kind of as a Nuatural Curiositie.

Does anyone hate Spirited Away?

im sure somebody can find something grumpy to say about it

he's deep into his Wings phase now

you can read what I have to say about Munich in a week or so (TEASE), but yeah, the greatest political film of the last decade is like Back to the Egg.

Also, I like the way you guys blithely ignore the diff btwn Spielberg films written by Tony Kushner or those written by Lucasfilm drones.

p3t3, u dope ;)

I didn't vote in this poll either but I don't really remember "Almost Famous" and I remember staring lovingly at Lisa Bonet during "High Fidelity", so at the very least I have more positive associations with HF than I do with AF.

Is it worth loading the thread to look for a list of what's placed so far?

I could see very fat people hating it

"haven't seen it but it probably sucks."

I think someone should post this after every single entry.

I don't find HiFid sexist... the Todd Louiso clerk is just about the only male who isn't sort of cretinous!

almost famous... more like ALMOST GOOD

Why didn't you vote?

he's deep into his Wings phase now

You have to lol. Is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull his Mull of Kintyre?

I don't find HiFid sexist... the Todd Louiso clerk is just about the only male who isn't sort of cretinous!

Todd Louiso is a dude?!

no, Mull of Kintyre is good

because it doesn't have any aliens in it

scorsese = john lennon
depalma = harrison
cimino = ringo

Why didn't you vote?

extreme laziness, same reason why I didn't vote in the ILM track/album polls

I'd switch DePalma's and Scorcese's matches around tbh.

i shoulda voted in this! oh well i'll follow along now

"haven't seen it but it probably sucks."

Mods pls retitle thread.

has Cameron Crowe ever made his Venus to Mars?

― PIES! PIES! PIES! PIES! PIES! (HI DERE), Thursday, February 4, 2010 6:19 PM (18 seconds ago)

yes, overall it's been fairly interesting so far

Venus AND Mars

You're right, I don't hate 100% of WALL-E. But the first third is the only part I actually like.

also HiFid's ending comes a close second to Eternal Sunshine in telling the truth about many 30ish hetero couplings. "I give up, surrendering to you is less labor-intensive than looking for someone better."

Eric: men are pigs, I hate to break it to ya.
