Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Thursday, 15 December 2005 06:02 (eighteen years ago) link

This is a good place to remind everyone that Songs from the Second Floor is the best film of the last 5 years. Everyone should see it.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 08:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, fifteen votes seems kinda low. That'll only give me the chance to vote for the ten films I nominated plus five more.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 08:18 (eighteen years ago) link

And why do the worst films have to be from the same list of nominees? I doubt anyone deliberately nommed some shitty flicks.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 08:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Ah, forget that last comment, I see that there are enough bad films (Dancer in the Dark, Grouching Tiger, Ichi the Killer, Million Dollar Hotel, The Pledge, etc) on the nominations list already.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 08:27 (eighteen years ago) link

(xpost) That makes it more interesting, though. I was pleased to list three films I think are overrated garbage.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 15 December 2005 08:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Somehow I feel some films, like Irreversible, Dancer in the Dark or Grouching Tiger, have a good chance of ending on both lists.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 08:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, at least I can on some level understand why someone might've liked those three films, but why would anyone even nominate Ichi the Killer remains a total mystery to me.

the part where it's a le pen wetdream

j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:18 (eighteen years ago) link

???

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:21 (eighteen years ago) link

i mean obv you don't have to agree with a film's politix to enjoy it or admire it but the whole 'it's morning in france' whitewash (literally) rightwing jizzing and such really got under my skin. plus that fucking gnome - guhhhhh.

j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:22 (eighteen years ago) link

tuomas have you actually seen amelie? or just screencaps of tatou's nipslip?

j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I have seen it, but it's been a few years, and I have little idea what you're talking about. Would you care to elaborate a bit more?

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:26 (eighteen years ago) link

the movie's racist and rightwing as fuck, almost definitely the most conservative flick on the nod list (including the incredibles!), there's no mystery, it's sorta well known.

j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:29 (eighteen years ago) link

If you're going to just repeat saying it's racist without explaining why there's little point in this discussion.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:32 (eighteen years ago) link

tuomas do a nexis search, 'amelie's racist' vs. 'no no it's just conservative' composed like 80% of the discussion of it at the time, it's maybe why it was rejected from cannes, i'm not gonna rehash every hackneyed thinkpiece about that fascist fluff from 2001 for you, esp if you're too fucking dense or racist to figure out on yr own.

j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:38 (eighteen years ago) link

i can't remember anything racist about Amelie - unless it's the 'no dark-skinned people in Paris at all' thing, uh. must rewatch.

Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:40 (eighteen years ago) link

i mean hey if you want to get off on a whites-only vision of france and rightwing wetdream that's fine, maybe sarkozy needs volunteers, it takes all kinds, but don't use faux-naivete and 'o gee, i never noticed and point it out all you like i'm not gonna notice kthxbye' as a lifevest, at least gear's upfront about his filmkinks.

j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:45 (eighteen years ago) link

i guess if there was no racist (sub)text to assume about anything you would surely cease to exist with immediate effect.

Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Thursday, 15 December 2005 10:52 (eighteen years ago) link

(i'm not necessarily saying you're wrong here, but i'm not saying Jeunet is An Racist Lucifer either)

First of all, Amelie has at least one North African character (Lucien), though I guess race plays no part in his role - which can be seen as a good or bad thing, depending on your view. Secondly, if lack of non-white characters is a sign of racism, then there are quite a lot of racist films in the world (possibly including your top two films, Blount). Thirdly, somehow I doubt Mathieu Kassovitz would've agreed to star in the film if he'd seen it or it's director as racist. Woody Allen always faces the charges that he doesn't include black characters in his films, but his answer is that he writes about the world he knows (the world of middle-class Jewish people, that is). I know exclusion is a big problem, but you also have to accept that not every movie can or needs to be about race.

Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Thursday, 15 December 2005 11:13 (eighteen years ago) link

ok the voice ran two pieces on amelie in 01, film comment one, all addressing in passing or in depth the le pen buzz. 'the adorable lil' racist confection hit from across the ocean' is practically how the film was marketed.

I'm pretty sure I saw The Apple in 1998. Or is that your point?

Oh sorry Caitlin, that was meant for jed, not you: I was trying to figure out whether he meant it was ineligible because no one nominated it, or because it wasn't actually from this decade.

haha, go ahead and submit away. I promise to count these soon, but the beginning of baseball season and trying to figure out my taxes have taken precedence.

WTF was I thinking? And my list would be completely different if we redid this as I've now seen twice as many 2000-2004 films as I had when we did this. So, what's going on with this?
