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

Wag the Dog is a three-star movie.

pretty sure this one broke Oscar-nominated screenplay profanity record.

three stars embarrassing themselves

xp

LOL i liked wag the dog

Today's films are mostly three-star movies, an improvement over yesterday

sorry, it gave me hives

if I need a benchmark for bad 90s filmmaking, I'm like "wag the dog!"

xp - isn't that missing a star?

I thought the joke was that you think he's going to say "F star star K."

im completely amazed how ignant you all are about the oscar-nominated 'in the loop'

you eff, star, star CUNTS etc

srsly I totally forgot that movie even existed

lets all go back and watch wag the dog. i think we'll be pleasantly surprised!

bowled over by its facile political satire and mugging

wag the dog is funny at parts but in the loop is better, and theyre not really anything alike except for being about 'manufacturing a war'

Wag the Dog is typical Old Man Mamet smuggery. At least there was none of his insane Zionist bullshit in it tho.

Wag the Dog has Pops Staples and Willie Nelson playing together so it is not all bad

the chick from 'my girl' is funny in ITL.

there are also lots of funny british people.

it's the funniest film of last year n e way.

his wife isn't named "insane zionist bullshit" morbs

I felt similarly to Wag the Dog as I did to Idiocracy - they think they are more insightful, scathing, and clever than they actually are, but there are some parts that are hilarious.

Simon Foster: Hi, Jamie, this is Toby.
Toby Wright: Oh, um... Toby Rice, I'm Simon's aide.
Jamie MacDonald: Hi, Toby, Toby. Very pleased to meet you. Please sit down. Now, right, that's enough of all the fucking Oxbridge pleasantries.
Toby Wright: What's Oxbridge about saying hello?
Jamie MacDonald: Shut it, Love Actually! Do you want me to hole punch your face?
Malcolm Tucker: Right, I'm off to deal with the fate of the planet. Be gentle with them.
Jamie MacDonald: Oh, you know me, Malc. Kid gloves... but made from real kids. Right, Butch and Gaydance, this wall story is playing badly. There's a cartoon of you in here as a walrus.
Simon Foster: A walrus? I'm not fat, I don't even have a moustache. Fuck, they've given me tusks.
Jamie MacDonald: Wal-rus. You get it? Wal-rus, wal-rus.
Toby Wright: We called some builders. They didn't turn up when they said they would.
Jamie MacDonald: What did you expect? They're builders! Have you ever seen a film where the hero is a builder? No, no, because they never fucking turn up in the nick of time. Bat-builder? Spider-builder? Huh? That's why you never see a superhero with a hod!

I felt similarly to Wag the Dog as I did to Idiocracy - they think they are more insightful, scathing, and clever than they actually are, but there are some parts that are hilarious.

I must've missed the part where De Niro got kicked in the nuts...

GO AWAY IM BAITIN

There's an ITR thread with 15,000 posts on it

ITR?

"Does that not fit within your purview, Marie Antoinette? Why don't you just scuttle off back to fucking Cranford and play around with your tea and your cakes and your fucking horse cocks. Let them eat cock!"

congrats caek for yr film for making it! oh wait

stop talking about wag the dog, fools. ITL is easy to love&my second pick to place, the uninitiated should definitely get on board.

Late to echo the sentiment, Omar, but these graphics are really cool, especially (for some reason) on the ones I haven't seen.

yay! the squid and the whale was my no.1 pick.

I think Glenn probably preferred Wolverine.

28DL was a watershed moment in the evolution of zombie cinema in that it freed zombies from their characteristic rigor mortis stumblewalk & allowed them to run at their opponents, thus making them a much more formidable (& scary!) threat.

it is mostly in-jokey nonsense

man, I've lost all respect for glenn danzig

of the handful of things on the list so far that i haven't seen, memories of murder and in the loop are the two i most want to.

also lots of shitty lame movies but nothing so far is worse than dogville - truly monstrous if u liked that movie u r a terrible person
― Lamp

... and dogville still the only one on the list i voted for!

-- signed, a terrible person

I didn't vote for Dogville, but voted for Manderlay instead - does that make me an even more terrible person?

thought we established the only halfway decent vt film ws five obstructions

(tho I secretly think idiots is p good)

user lamp is my hero on this thread <3 can't believe I ever had him killfiled

I didn't vote for Dogville, but voted for Manderlay instead - does that make me an even more terrible person?

Mike White love seconded. altho his first movie is very... confusing

also, I'm sure that Mike White's least interesting project of the decade, School of Rock, will be coming up shortly.

Mike White is probably the best new (darkly) comedic American screenwriter of the decade.

i like him and that might be true, but it's also a pretty small pool you're picking from there. who are the other new darkly comedic american screenwriters of the decade?

Actor John C Reilly has reportedly quit Lars Von Trier's Manderlay in protest over the killing of a donkey. Entertainment Weekly reports that the Chicago star walked off the film's set in Trollhatten, Sweden last month. He has since been replaced by Slovenian actor Zelijko Ivanek.

trollhatten!

thanks hi dere. itr=in the room?
