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

Top 13 will be all Marvel and Star Wars movies I assume

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.

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
it even has the Spike touch of a guy playing Gil Scott-Heron

watched this with a friend that works in mental health and she really liked the more grown-up portrait with the caveat it probably reduced the stresses in the main relationship.― xyzzzz__, Sunday, July 29, 2018

Started watching this, got distracted and never ended up going back to it. I’m generally bored by this kind of bone-dry Amerindie thing these days anyway.

I usually hate Ben Foster's mannered twitching, but he suppressed that here.

Apart from one overly heartwarming scene of singing around the campfire near the end, I thought the script did an admirable job of addressing the problems its characters were coping with. It condensed without oversimplification, told a coherent story, and portrayed characters you could believe in. As a bonus, it was a film very much about violence, where the physical violence was both ever-present and unimaginably remote. Impressive.

idk, i still think it's a metaphor -- it was comforting to movie viewers to know [spoiler about the certain point] because it got them through the harrowing nature of the situation, but i don't think of it as "a story" as much as a distillation of the horrors of heredity, which we all grapple with to some degreei certainly felt massive lingering horror as i looked at boxes of personal/family ephemera the morning after i saw itlike A Quiet Place was family-centered horror of a narrow scope with one family and clear monsters; Hereditary seemed to be a more all-encompassing look at the horror of family and things that are hereditary...or just a witch story with bonus family horror contentwhichever you prefer― La Lechera, Sunday, 10 June 2018

this was an excellent horror movie to read the plot of on Wikipedia. A classic of the genre of someone transcribing the events of the film in such a way that they seem to succeed one another with no cause and effect whatsoever.

hereditary still pops up in my mind, particularly when i'm home alone at night and can't be bothered to turn on a light to move around the house and see out of the corner of my eye what appears to be a fat naked man smiling at me

― Οὖτις, Thursday, 27 June 2019 19:02 (four years ago) link
Morbs, that's a beautiful strawman you've constructed, but there is no Cage cult around here because Cage makes mostly hot trash, but you're doing yourself a grave disservice rn dismissing Mandy so blithely.
