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

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.)

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

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.

agh omar save us

haha

You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...

I used to live in an all-girls dorm at a liberal arts college so I understand how that shit can play out

ILX's A B C I have a super creepy question for you:

Are you a woman? For some reason I thought you were a guy.

Les poissons, les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop and to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out their bones
Ah mes oui, savez toujours delice

morning~

my roommate senior year was a big fan of disney and had disney stuff all over her side of the room. idk exactly what was on my wall, i think there was a nick cave poster and some stuff from touch & go records (BRAINIAC). she hated me. showed this by passive-aggressively slamming shut every drawer/door in the room when she was getting ready for class @ 8am (when i had usually just gone to bed 3 hours earlier.) it was a delight

this one is for table

We saw "Ratatouille," which was great! It pisses me off that there's no way it would even be considered for any of the serious Oscars, when it's like 9,000 times better visually than whatever shitty drama will win. Not even just the awesomeness of the technology and animation, but even things like the way the shots are "framed" and the way the "camera" moves is really exciting and innovative. I agree with the critical consensus that it's not as ambitious and wide-ranging as some of the other Pixar movies, but I think it gains something from that. It feels a little more ... adult? in a good way. More focused. It doesn't blow you away like "The Incredibles" but it's more relatable and personal.

saw it last night. it was good - this is coming from someone who suffered ho-hum reactions to toy story/nemo/cars. agree that it was oddly mature. surprised that more ilxors weren't amused by it - the villain's a CRITIC after all.

animation was fantastic - action scene with the rats in the river / sewer was breathtaking. water + grass + fur are 3 things hard to get right animation-wise.

and I don't think I've ever heard edward iv laugh as loud as he did at lifted, the opening short.

― Edward III

It's good. Technically brilliant and energetic as usual. Better than The Incredibles, if not anywhere near The Iron Giant.

Caveats: not cray about Linguini as a character (why plop in an American-seeming dork as the central human?), and...

Chef Skinner. Ulp.

Is he French-Algerian? That's some mega old-style Disney racial caricature there. Really bothered me whenever he was onscreen.

LOL

Ratatouille (the film, not the dish)

xposts yes I am a woman. I realize that in the past I have touched on levels of haunted internet weirdness usually associated with male anime pillow fetishists but I like to consider myself an envelope-pushing feminist pioneer in the mold of Aileen Wuornos

isn't this the second time in this thread the posts have foreshadowed the results?

featuring Peter O'Toole as s1ocki

At least that laborious Looney Tunes Back in Action won't show up.

suggest-ban animation.

You can always predict how a good ratatouille will taste.

Linguini is going to be the Dimitri from Anastasia for the younger sisters of a generation that sees sexual potential in Michael Cera, I don't mind predicting that right now

Peter O'Toole was much better here than in that pedo Oscar bait in which he starred the year before.

if only Carlos Reygadas had animated Japon

Ha ha! The timing!

I'm kind of fascinated (fascinated =/= enamoured, btw) with Disney on a number of levels and kinda keep up with news and trivia about the goings-on within the company...while not actually experiencing much of their product at all. I think I've only seen...four Pixar movies, maybe (Toy Story 1 & 2, Finding Nemo, and Up)? Up was the first one I saw in a theater. I've heard enough good things that I'll see the rest eventually.

suggest-ban animation.

as long as miyazaki ranks higher than any pixar i won't complain too much. not betting on that, tho. i'd guess spirited away could make top 20, but wall-e and incredibles could both be top 10.

Hey I have this theory about Ratatouille/Pixar, but to back it up, can you guys try this experiment?
without looking at them, try and draw from memory some characters from Toy Story. Then try and draw Ratatouille.

Can't do the Maxperiment here. Rat remains the only Pixar I skipped this decade, except for most of The Incredibles.

I'm fine with WALL-E and Spirited Away, othwise I think these others can't even touch the better Wallace & Gromit shorts of the '90s. And I'd forgotten all about the chef stereotype in this.
