Had this down as a 2019 film, otherwise would have thrown it a vote.

Honestly, I judge the date of a film by what Wikipedia lists as the Release Date for wide U.S. release. Dunno if the yearly disconnect is UK/Canada posters or if its just "I go to film festivals" flexing or something else

For a fun and kind of schlocky B-movie aesthetic, Color Out of Space managed to be a deeply affecting meditation on almost unthinkable grief. I guess that's the source material too, but it was portrayed well. It's also camp and spectacular.

I sorted my icheckmovies list by release date and it’s down as 2019 there. I guess I could have looked more closely but just tossed off a ballot.
― Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 15 December 2021 18:46 (two years ago) link
Saw it at the start of 2020 with imago and one of his friends and we emerged kind of shellshocked, I thought!

It had a one-night-only US national cinema release in January 2020

It was not one-night-only

Either way, it would have more of a claim to being a 2020 movie than Minari which was on VOD for a week in December before opening nationally on February 2021

I tried to be as rigorous as possible with release dates for my ballot but it’s always gonna be nebulous - anyway saw this during 2020 as part of regular lockdown movie night with my covid bubble & had a blast (bubblemate thought it was dumb)

COOS opened in more limited locations the following weekend iirc. They'd done one-night-only in Australia the first week of Jan, seemed to be a SpectreVision-level move to maximise the horror audience.
It's good that someone has taken on Morbs' mantle of screaming at people in the poll results that they voted wrong because they live in a different city.

and now for a double feature of films named for community architecture, and how bureaucracy can grind against the interests of that community

I love that Wiseman's slot has been creeping up steadily with each successive year (it feels like, don't check my work).

It's the last film in the three-vote zone; one hopes at least that many people will watch it as a result of this placing.

i didn't like it? Felt hokey and unengaged.

I agree. I was excited by the concept but didn't feel it came off organically.

Aargh--I'm always going on about Wiseman on ILX, and this one (highest-placing film on a year-end?) I haven't seen. (Well, I started it and just got sidetracked for various reasons.)

city hall is great! wish i could've seen it in theaters though. Hard to appreciate a wiseman from home.
I though Invisible Man was kinda lame; tapped out when they kept twiddling their thumbs waiting to get to the part when the invisible man shows up. Oooh, there's breath behind her but no one's there! What could it mean? Could it be... THE INVISIBLE MAN?!?!?!? well fucking of course it is, check the title
