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

What did you find good about Jake in that film? I thought he was thoroughly unconvincing and I generally like the guy.

- his horndog eagerness when Heath tells him he's leaving his wife
- the pained expression on his aged & mustachio-ed face when they're washing dishes in the river
- his exchanges with Ann Hathaway (who is a terrible actress btw, wtf was she doing in this)

I agree w/Morbius that the shouty monologue at the end was too over-the-top tho.

ILX Top Films of 2000-04 RESULTS (yes, really)

lmao that 70's one is only 333 messages... what a different ILX we live in from just 5 years ago

Can't remember which one of those reveal threads it was that I would've come close to getting SB'd off ILX if SBs existed then.

when did enter the void come out? best film of the last 10 years imo.

oh wtf, I just watched that last night. synchronicity.

I disagree strongly that it's the best film of the last ten years, but it definitely has some merits. And demerits.

definitely, but the merits are so strong i didnt care about the demerits (it could do with some editing near the end for one thing, but i like the way it makes you endure it). i think when i watched it i was just in awe for most of it. maybe the last new film i saw when i left the cinema thinking 'fuck how brilliant was that'.

Some amazing visual techniques and great special effects in service of a bad story, horrible characters, and a really base level of entertainment. It's a Michael Bay movie.

for a michael bay film, its pretty entrancing

vile.

never understood when ppl say they dont like a film as the characters were unlikeable. that doesnt mean its a bad film! everyone in the last fast and furious was more worthy of contempt than this lot. and in a mainstream film i expect them, in fact i think they SHOULD be likeable, in a film like enter the void, its a bit more permissable for them to be morally questionable

It's not that they're unlikeable or morally questionable. It's that they're boring clichés that have no resonance whatsoever.

It doesn't help when he's having sex with his friend's mom and then it cuts to him as a kid in the bath with his own mom and it's all DO U SEE

lol

i am prepared to take a loss in characterisation for interesting visuals and general mood/ambience etc

but then i liked mary antoinette

that was a better movie!

But yeah, all the characters are pretty much cutouts and the absence of actual connection between the actors is substituted with repetition to make you "get" the themes

All of which I would have been much more forgiving towards if it had been 80 minutes or so. The length was punishing and for every fantastic visual there'd be some dialogue that came along and ruined it. Like a Michael Bay film.

I liked Marie Antoinette! And I think it had a lot more interesting characters.

things I liked about the film:
- general premise, the exploration of dying through this particular character
- most of the visuals
- the first person nature
- some of the speculative narrative bits, including remembrances in different contexts

things I disliked:
- overused flyover ambiance that I thought would play better when I saw a HD version but still looked fuzzy and indistinct
- flat characters
- overstylizing in supposedly unstyled scenes. understylizing in scenes that were supposed to be highly stylized
- repetition of themes as DO YOU SEE-style revelations. if he said to his sister one more time that he'd never leave her, or if that truck ran into a car one more time...
- crazy sex, death, and birth themes just to make a point that this movie is about ~life~

Meh. I was told the credit sequence and wasn't really impressed by THOSE...

I don't have time to make it thru the whole thread right now; did Mysterious Skin make it?

No, unless I scrolled past it in the screencaps thread.

It's a shame. Damn shame.

I still liked this list though.

Xxp LOL my above post was supposed to read "...the credit sequnce was the best part and wasn't really etc etc"

Hype Williams would disagree with you there.

whoa, dont drag fast five into this. those were some cool lovable bros and broettes

i know no one likes the cinema vs dvd argument (or do they?) but ETV really is a film i think that works so much better in the cinema than at home. i cant imagine watching it at home actually and dont want to in case it spoils my memory of it. and the length is a bit much, but its part of the appeal for me, making it purposely difficult/annoying.

worst film of the 00s is miranda julys me you and everyone we know.

too bad Midnight in Paris couldn't qualify for worst.

i like MIP

its bad woody allen, but even bad woody allen is still woody allen so...

Bad Woody is unwatchable!

you ppl need to see some actual BAD fucking movies

even uninspired, autopilot woody allen isnt actually that bad. plus owen wilson is actually the perfect actor for his films. they should def work together more.

you ppl need to see some actual BAD fucking movies

― Dr Morbois de Bologne (Dr Morbius),

I watch almost as many as you do, old man.

i wonder what al thinks of midnight in paris

This, to my knowledge, is the worst film of the 2000s:

http://slantmagazine.com/film/review/tony-n-tinas-wedding/3256

lol They made that into a movie? With Joey McIntyre? HA!

ahahaha

Upon its release, Slant Magazine gave the film ("no stars"), calling it a "relentlessly unfunny detonation" of the play, and a "tin-eared disaster" featuring "profanity delivered at a Mamet-like rate."[9]

Despite the eventual appearance of fire, the fatal car accident from Robert Altman's A Wedding is regrettably not expanded into a 20-car pileup here.

Much less amusing than any wedding, bris, or autopsy you've ever attended

couldnt have been that bad, if you had this much fun panning it

Yes, I had all the fun after.

loool Morbs OTM

Think this is the worst movie I saw in the 00s.
