what, seriously? that's an obvious reference?

my guess would be that ilx can be effortly summarized as a place where people list & rate arbitrary & tenuously related collections of film & music

that's the internet
also college

i could be wrong & suspect nakhchivans reasoning is more oblique ?

studio apartment, somewhere new

i thought maybe the joke was that they all received average to poor ratings, effortlessly summarizing the spirit of ILX, which is sometimes "i hate everything". but then, a few of the grades were B+, which is pretty good, so i don't know.

Yeah, how 2/5 stars equals a D- is beyond me.

a true enigma

5/5 = A range
4/4 = B range
3/5 = C range
2/5 = D range
1/5 = F

I like grades better than numbers, but numbers seem to be the preferred system of the thread, so I thought I'd include both (your WELCOME). A D- is a bad movie and best avoided, but still has something that keeps it being a complete one-star/grade F failure. A D- isnt a failure, but no one wants D's so these films should try harder.

(this post, btw, can also double as another entry in the thread)

I'm not gonna write 5 paragraphs on my phone but you are wrong

if only we'd listened

I feel like anyone who hasn't experienced the frustration of participating in a clusterfuck via smartphone has not really 'experienced' this era of ilx

the next era will be defined by arguing while using google glasses

Look on the bright side, at least you havent been tagged with the "fucking prostitutes" thing for five years. So you have that going for you.

ahahahahaha

When I can wirelessly connect to ILX clusterfucks directly with my brain, I'll know that the singularity has arrived.

the interplay of our brains makes the clusterfuck emerge and become visible, but truthfully, the entirety of the clusterfuck is immanent inside the smallest neuron of your brain

it's clusterfucks alllll the way down.

clusterfuck studies

inside each clusterfuck is a smaller clusterfuck, clusterfucks proceedingly infinitely in nested shells. the circumference of the biggest clusterfuck is infinity and the center of the clusterfuck is everywhere

Crisis On Infinite Clusterfucks

hahahahahahaha

you should cafepress ilx and call it that

just a bit of a crisis, let's be cool

Be the clusterfuck you want to see in the world

You know how decades end not on Jan. 1 of the first year but when events mark a transition--e.g., Clinton election, Nirvana et al as the beginning of the 1990s, not whatever happened on Jan. 1, 1990?

Somehow, this feels like the end of the 2000s. The Dark Knight (and maybe the other two--I haven't seen them) was all about releasing tension from the collective waiting-for-the-other-shoe-to-drop post-9/11 anxiety. Somehow the shift back from the simulacrum to real tragedy marks the end of the effectiveness of this particular post-9/11/massacre/helplessness as entertainment. Not saying we won't have more big-terrorism thrillers or nihilistic villains, but in the way that the hitman movies of the 90s now feel dated instead of feeding into the present current of our dreamlife, something about what's happened hear may end the particular current this trilogy fed into.

that's a good post

lol

i dunno i thought it was :/

punditry is hard

this is like a concept coming from historiography & hobsbawn etc but then we go from 'the long nineteenth century' bookended by the revolution and 1914 to the 'long 2000s' bookended by the benevolent happenstance that some wasteman chose to shoot up a cinema rather than a chicken feed store

I think that was an attempt at a decade bookend, not a century one

well ultimately who gives a fuck i dunno i liked reading it
