I saw Claire's Camera in time to add it to my ballot but my first response was "what is this bullshit" and I didn't trust that, so I didn't include it on the main ballot or the worst-film side poll. I need to see it again.

you need to look at it again very slowly

straw poll: top 13 tomorrow, or just keep pushing today?

I watched BlacKkKlansman again before voting. A second viewing doesn't reveal anything other than that, for whatever else it is, it is just a super entertaining film.
― Herman Woke (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 26 June 2019 21:04 (four years ago) link
keep pushing i say
i know getting worked up about the logic of films is pointless but that there was no good reason for ron to still be making the calls was really distracting.

aside from the dance number, i was not hugely entertained

the Auf Wiedersehen, Pet of German cinema finally arrives and it is good! (unlike most of German cinema these days)
― calzino, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 21:40 (four years ago) link
I was continually thinking there was going to be extreme violence and thought it was interesting that the film kept subverting expectations
― Dan S, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 21:50 (four years ago) link
i was sort of expecting it to do that, but it did it in a way i wasn't expecting - if this nonsense makes any sense!
― calzino, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 21:53 (four years ago) link
also read that Grisebach worked as a script consultant on Toni Erdmann, can see that she might have been influenced by that film
― Dan S, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 21:56 (four years ago) link
does a fine job of engaging with the cinematic and political connotations of the title without ever feeling like one

Happy as Lazzaro worthy of its Film Comment cover, and ekes into my top 10 of '18. Candide + magical realism + scabrous satire of modern Italy.― Dr Morbius, Friday, December 28, 2018

thought this was great, and it is another subtle film that requires more than one viewing
also recommend The Wonders, her previous which I think I may love even more than this
― Dan S, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 22:21 (four years ago) link
lost me a bit in it's second act but that stretch before the 'jump' is superlative
― devvvine, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 22:24 (four years ago) link
I like how surreal the shift was
― Dan S, Wednesday, 26 June 2019 22:28 (four years ago) link
*did like
Yeah, I think I might prefer The Wonders, but it's a superlative work. She's my favorite Italian director at the moment.

BlacKkKlansman the mainstream Hollywood movie of the year and it’s not particularly close.

21 for me, but only bcz of hopeful, tactical voting for some things that ended up receiving 0 other votes. Might have been top ten if I'd seen it in a cinema, instead of spread over three gym visits.
― quelle sprocket damage (sic), Wednesday, 26 June 2019 23:31 (four years ago) link
Don't use a calculator to give yourself spoilers, but Free Solo received 6x as many votes as Solo.
On a quick skim, 23 votes were cast for Marvel movies [and 1 for a DC movie (the latter by me, and shockingly not by Will M.)]

It won't be as good as BlacKkKlansman tho.

prefer First Man easily
