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

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 He has since been replaced by Slovenian actor Zelijko Ivanek.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?

that is all too true, tipz.

itr = in the room, just like wag the dog, not funny

White's father is the Reverend Dr. Mel White, a former speechwriter for Religious Right figures such as Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. White is openly bisexual.[1] His father, meanwhile, came out as gay in 1994.

oh wait it gets better

According to the swirl of rumours emanating from the shoot, 38 year-old Reilly was outraged over a scene that involved the slaughter of a donkey for food. But executive producer Peter Aalbaek Jensen insists that the donkey was old and sick and that the killing was entirely humane.

Speaking from the Zentropa production office in Denmark, Aalbaek told the Ritzau news bureau: "As it was explained to me from Sweden, everything went by the book and the entire process was monitored by a veterinarian. We were very conscientious about that, because we didn't want 70,000 American animal rights groups on our back." That said, he added wryly, "We could probably kill six children for a film without anyone raising a fuss." As yet, there are no reports of children being murdered on the set of Manderlay.

yes, perhaps Chuck & Buck is less confusing now

xp

mel white and mike white were on the amazing race together, btw.

to backtrack a little, i liked squid and the whale, but i still object to nobody recognizing a goddam pink floyd song in 1986 or whenever it was set. should've picked a nick drake song or something.

Mike White's weird, no doubt about it. wrote/directed some great Freaks & Geeks episodes, which is where I first learned of him

5 of my choices so far. including dogville.

julian schnabel is the worst

his paintings suck too

yeah this was really odd

The central story is dull as paste and has been so many times before that it just feel cliche from the get go (plus the two of the main characters--the boys--are ridiculously uninteresting--and the third--the woman--is marginalized and unexplored). That said, the vision of Mexico itself is fantastic moving from the uber-rich to the uber-poor. I wished that Mexico had been more of the movie, not the crap threesome garbage.

the sex scenes in Y Tu Mama Tambien were very good mostly for the fact that they were almost entirely in long shot and/or unbroken takes.

― ryan

For me, I suggested that my parents go to see "Y Tu Mama Tambien" after hearing glowing reviews, but before seeing it myself. I cringed in the theater when I finally saw it (takes a while for decent movies to make it to Central Florida), even though they weren't with me - they'd seen it the previous week and my mother's single comment was: "It was interesting." I probably wouldn't have felt so uncomfortable if it hadn't been for the sex being so damn arousing - I can handle the crappily acted/filmed stuff.

Well so far the list hasn't made me feel like I missed anything, which is something, I guess.

I wished that Mexico had been more of the movie, not the crap threesome garbage.

i thought the whole movie was basically a parable about mexico, wasn't it? w/her representing the fading european influence, the boys as young-mexico still enamored of the romantic old-world mythos but also aware of their separate american identity with all its complexities (economic, political, etc). or something like that, i haven't seen it in a while. don't understand the hate for it, i think it's well made.
