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

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?

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

― 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.

wait did wall-e place or something? i quickly scanned 100-85 but don't remember seeing it

Didn't Cameron Crowe say something like: "if you have a problem with Almost Famous, you have a problem with my life"?

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

me too - the whole ranking/scoring thing is kinda too much of a hassle for me

Many, many xposts later.

Yeah, but it treats (most of) the male characters as autonomous beings, whereas the women are entirely avatars/puppets - man is subject, woman object. Just because it happens to play to the old trick of idolising those zombies it doesn't mean that it gives them any agency.

fish is about to eat 'unkrich'

I avoided Nemo until last year, thinking it was the most kid-friendly hence unbearable of the Pixars; it's much better than that, thankfully.

i either saw 'finding nemo' or... was there another cartoon abt fish?

Jaws?

"I give up, surrendering to you is less labor-intensive than looking for someone better."

I think the full notion is more like "... looking for someone better as I continue to get worse."

People like the first 30 minutes of Wall-E & the first ten minutes of Up. Can't wait to see the first three minutes of their next movie.

It's weird to say that Almost Famous "gets music wrong" when in actuality it is a fairly autobiographical account of Crowe's experiences.

But emil.y, it's from the male POV. Hornby is like the emo Peckinpah.

Nemo admittedly looks rabishing

iirc there is no actual Zeppelin in AF

― The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis (Shakey Mo Collier)

only saw this once (in the theater) and iirc "going to california" was used, making this (again iirc) only the 2nd film ever* to have LZ in it (both Crowe pix: fast times and almost famous).

*aside from the song remains the same.

He got his life wrong.

Prefer Nemo to most other Pixar movies

"emo Peckinpah" sounds like my Platonic Worst Director.

hahahaha

actually, maybe it was "bron-yr-aur"? whatever it was, a pretty acoustic number....

xxxxxp

"Tangerine," Steve Shasta.

shark tale!

more like shart fail

Re other fish film: Shark Tale? I saw Nemo on TV, and it was... okay. Mostly 'meh, it's a kid's film'.

xpost yeah, I appreciate that, but it honestly is from a sexist male's point of view. I'd be pretty fucked off if I thought my male friends/exes saw me as hollowly as that. And, you know, not everyone is a solipsist.

I think that's a valid point. I also think it was an intentional viewpoint decision made in order to display the mindset of Cusack's character to the viewer; like I said, most of my memory of the film can be summed up as "WAU LISA B IS PURTY" but from what I remember, didn't the spark of agency in the female characters quickly lead to them dumping him and moving as far out of his life as possible?

my pixar 00s preference: ratatouille > up > wall-e > incredibles > nemo > monsters inc >> cars

Shark Tale is the one w/Scorsese, right?

almost famous is a blandly ok movie, cant really hate on it, also cant really give a fuck about it

gonna be way too many "little cartoon shows" (resp to Letterman) in this poll.

it is a fairly autobiographical account of Crowe's experiences.

hahahaha... plz see biopic within Zelig. They all end up fantasies.

omg at shart fail

Glad to see Nemo in there. Usually underrated next to the more grown-up aspirations of Ratatouille, Wall-E and the Incredibles but stands up to repeat viewings better than any of them - more charm and better storytelling. Plus it's my daughter's favourite film.

It's pretty obvious that the joke is on HiFi's male characters, which is why it's better than the damn nove.

huge difference between a sexist movie and a movie from the POV of a sexist
