has no one said they hate eternal sunshine????
― harbl, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:21 (sixteen years ago)
i dont hate it but dont love it
― ryan, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:22 (sixteen years ago)
i didn't like eternal sunshine at the time but i will freely admit i saw it the same night i got dumped by someone so it might have cut a little too close to the bone. i wanna rescreen it someday.
― snoocki (s1ocki), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:23 (sixteen years ago)
im not mad at it placing cuz, you know... people seemed to really like it
yeah i don't hate it either but i am shocked at the lack of hate. i don't think it's that great. it's ok. that's all i have to say lol
― harbl, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:24 (sixteen years ago)
i mean shocked because all the other films have been hated by *someone*
i think it suffers from the same suffocating solipsism of SNY, basically
― ryan, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:25 (sixteen years ago)
nobody hated spirited away

looks like only 19/40 of mine will make it, including only three of my top five!

it's a little sentimental compared to Kaufman's other films, I think, but still amazing.
― Mordy, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:25 (sixteen years ago)
i know it's only ~7 years, but it's really stood up well
― caek, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:25 (sixteen years ago)
I think this is subverted by the more or less happy ending and the fact that Winslet actually is a well-developed character - its as much about her as it is about Carey

"nobody hated spirited away"
well that one guys said it looked like dog shit.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:26 (sixteen years ago)
i think you're right on that probably--maybe more the force of her performance than what the script/direction allowed her tho.
― ryan, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:26 (sixteen years ago)
haha seriously NOBODY hates spirited away. it's kind of eerie.

i'm sorry about the spirited away comment btw. my one moment of shakeyness. i'mma watch it for you guys.
― caek, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:28 (sixteen years ago)
does the fact that nobody hated ESotSM make it the ultimate "middle" film?
― snoocki (s1ocki), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:28 (sixteen years ago)
i have never seen eternal sunshine but i bet i'd haaaaaaaaaate it.
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:29 (sixteen years ago)
hahaha
― caek, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:29 (sixteen years ago)
we'll take it!
― birdman mumia (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:29 (sixteen years ago)
it seems calculated to make me hate it, almost.
oh i think there'd have been hate for a 'middle film'
― quiz show flat-track bully (darraghmac), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:30 (sixteen years ago)
i will say one thing - it's definitely one of jim carrey's top 10 movies, easy
― snoocki (s1ocki), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:31 (sixteen years ago)
Some accomplishment.
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:31 (sixteen years ago)
EASY.
it is the only film Jim Carey has been in that is remotely watchable

i swear there was a contrarian review of spirited away on salon at one point but can't find it.
― bnw, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:32 (sixteen years ago)
kinda amazing that he was cast in it at all tbh
xp
― Wrinkles, I'll see you on the other side (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:32 (sixteen years ago)
there is something hateable about it (kirsten dunst is reciting john donne, do i have that right?) but the whole thing is just damn impressive
― goole, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:32 (sixteen years ago)
Number 23 is really underrated.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:32 (sixteen years ago)
spirited away was my number one but i still think stuff he did in the '80s/'90s > anything he's done in the '00s
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:33 (sixteen years ago)
no "pope alexander" xxp
― harbl, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:33 (sixteen years ago)
(kirsten dunst is reciting john donne, do i have that right?)
but this is totally done in the context of her character - ie an obnoxious, naive-yet-overly-serious student acolyte type who longs to be seen as mature and sharp

I only yawned because LJ spent far too long singing its praises during his regular "hey can you post this for me" messages.

time out a second, how in the hell did this relationship get started anyway?
sorry guys, i know, but the thread is already a billion msgs long?

uh, this is a thread about the movie poll, not my personal life.

Can anyone who has seen this compare w/ eternal sunshine?http://www.bestweekever.tv/bwe/images/2009/06/AFTER%20LAST%20SEASON%20POSTER.JPG

Philip that is one of the worst movie posters I have ever seen

we need an "Alternate Reality" ILX top 100 films thread curated by Alex in SF
― Mr. Que, Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:46 (sixteen years ago)
okay, i believe that Carey is unimpeachable in "The Cable Guy." i might be the only one who still loves that movie, but i think it is fucking awesome, and about a million times better than his performance in Eternal Sunshine...
