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

also I barely remember any of Sft2F.

...

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET OLD

I'm a little shocked to realize that I saw over half of the movies on my ballot in the theater, given the fact that it feels like I hardly ever see movies in the theater anymore (;_;).

does anyone have omar little's #, can u just call him and wake him up and we can move on to the next 15

I see almost all movies at home via netflix. Theaters are great experiences, but holy crap the audience usually sucks. Talking, kicking my seat, babies crying. It's horrible.

25/40 in the theater, luv going to the movies

Damn, why did I not vote? I'd forgotten that I spent five years going to the cinema loads, I could easily have compiled a decent ballot.

too busy organising the book poll in fairness to you

s1ocki has omar's number, from before

i think he blocked me :(

I think the sub-100 list will be more entertaining, we'll see juxtapositions like this:

The Wind Will Carry Us
Pootie Tang
Decasia
Blades of Glory

Omar!!

I hardly ever have this experience. Maybe it's the kind of movies and theaters I go to, though.

I rarely go at night anymore. As friends become domesticated, they lose interest in movies, so I end up going alone on Saturday mornings.

I have a cinema card that allows me to see as many films for a set monthly price. The downside it is a multiplex (though it does get films like A Prophet, etc...). My rule of thumb is to never go on a Friday night or a Saturday or Sunday (save for the occasional one-off revival film on a Sunday afternoon). This usually works pretty well.

he was saying that's what happened at his house - joeks

hiyo!

There was a bad theater behavior thread where some of you revealed you have friends who badly need gagging.

I generally go to movies alone; it's too hard to coordinate w/ my few cineaste friends' schedules.

i enjoy going to teh movez alone and with others

I saw Citizen Ruth in the theater! its a great, weird movie. Election is a bit stronger tho, imho. Would easily be in my best of the 90s list

So any guesses on where Step Brothers is going to place

wheres omar, this productivity at work is exhausting

down in san juan, eating his honey nut cheerios

ha ha, love that i've rankled the Wall-E fans, but realize that it is your fandom that makes me never want to see the film.

i've seen five films in theaters in the past year.
1) Rembrandt's J'accuse
2) some movie in Ohio that i was blacked-out drunk for, sorry.
3) District 9
4) 2012
5) The White Ribbon

all were enjoyable experiences. only recently, when i came into some more disposable $, have i been goin to the movies again. i forgot how much i like it!!

realize that it is your fandom that makes me never want to see the film

Oh no. I really should temper my enthusiasm.

lol ppl liking things

jokes on u

hey table have you seen the wire coz it's amazing like you'll never watch anything the same way again

lolololol

judging by the results, others are blacked-out drunk at the movies amirite

Hey, table, have you seen the films of Ewe Boll? People don't have many good things to say about them, so they might be up your alley...

if you havent seen the disneys and pixars u are not a human being imho

(My brain is still seizing up at the thought of actively avoiding stuff because people like it have said that it's good.)

Probably. If I go to a theater, most likely it is to see a major studio blockbuster where I think the special effects will be worth it on the big screen. Of course these are most likely to have the seat kicking masses in them. Also I'm extremely sensitive to this type of behavior.

NONE OF YOU HAVE EVER LIVED WITH A 23 YEAR OLD WHO QUOTES EXTENSIVELY FROM DISNEY AND PIXAR MOVIES AND GOES TO DISNEYLAND FOR HER BIRTHDAY EVERY YEAR SO YOU CAN SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP.

lol I feel you table

I love Pixar but I don't think I wd ever go see one of their movies without taking the kids.

Ha ha. Well, thank you for providing context.

if you havent seen the disneys and pixars u are not a human being imho

WALL-E was the first one I'd seen since Toy Story 2. Am I a cyborg?

nah but you missed the best ones

tabes did you quote Fassbinder back at her?

It's a whole new world.

no, i just sort of looked at her with sad, hungover eyes, and went back to posting on ilx.

tombstone material

Don't you dare close your eyes.

disney nerds are one of my favo weird subsets of humanity which i have never actually encountered irl. like pin collectors, club 33 visitors and shit

plus there was the time i applauded at the end of ratatouille????

hahaha, this thread finally got good

ABC-- they can be perfectly nice and otherwise awesome people— i mean, girl was fluent in ASL, hella queer, and read interesting books....but she also just would not STFU about disney and pixar movies. it was like her 'childhood happy space,' whereas mine is masturbating to stills of John Stamos.
