Can't remember which one of those reveal threads it was that I would've come close to getting SB'd off ILX if SBs existed then.

when did enter the void come out? best film of the last 10 years imo.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
oh wtf, I just watched that last night. synchronicity.
I disagree strongly that it's the best film of the last ten years, but it definitely has some merits. And demerits.
― mh, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
definitely, but the merits are so strong i didnt care about the demerits (it could do with some editing near the end for one thing, but i like the way it makes you endure it). i think when i watched it i was just in awe for most of it. maybe the last new film i saw when i left the cinema thinking 'fuck how brilliant was that'.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:57 (twelve years ago) link
Some amazing visual techniques and great special effects in service of a bad story, horrible characters, and a really base level of entertainment. It's a Michael Bay movie.
― encarta it (Gukbe), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
for a michael bay film, its pretty entrancing

never understood when ppl say they dont like a film as the characters were unlikeable. that doesnt mean its a bad film! everyone in the last fast and furious was more worthy of contempt than this lot. and in a mainstream film i expect them, in fact i think they SHOULD be likeable, in a film like enter the void, its a bit more permissable for them to be morally questionable
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
It's not that they're unlikeable or morally questionable. It's that they're boring clichés that have no resonance whatsoever.

It doesn't help when he's having sex with his friend's mom and then it cuts to him as a kid in the bath with his own mom and it's all DO U SEE
lol
i am prepared to take a loss in characterisation for interesting visuals and general mood/ambience etc
but then i liked mary antoinette
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:40 (twelve years ago) link
that was a better movie!
But yeah, all the characters are pretty much cutouts and the absence of actual connection between the actors is substituted with repetition to make you "get" the themes
― mh, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
All of which I would have been much more forgiving towards if it had been 80 minutes or so. The length was punishing and for every fantastic visual there'd be some dialogue that came along and ruined it. Like a Michael Bay film.
― encarta it (Gukbe), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
I liked Marie Antoinette! And I think it had a lot more interesting characters.
things I liked about the film: - general premise, the exploration of dying through this particular character - most of the visuals - the first person nature - some of the speculative narrative bits, including remembrances in different contexts
things I disliked: - overused flyover ambiance that I thought would play better when I saw a HD version but still looked fuzzy and indistinct - flat characters - overstylizing in supposedly unstyled scenes. understylizing in scenes that were supposed to be highly stylized - repetition of themes as DO YOU SEE-style revelations. if he said to his sister one more time that he'd never leave her, or if that truck ran into a car one more time... - crazy sex, death, and birth themes just to make a point that this movie is about ~life~

i know no one likes the cinema vs dvd argument (or do they?) but ETV really is a film i think that works so much better in the cinema than at home. i cant imagine watching it at home actually and dont want to in case it spoils my memory of it. and the length is a bit much, but its part of the appeal for me, making it purposely difficult/annoying.

Upon its release, Slant Magazine gave the film ("no stars"), calling it a "relentlessly unfunny detonation" of the play, and a "tin-eared disaster" featuring "profanity delivered at a Mamet-like rate."[9]

Despite the eventual appearance of fire, the fatal car accident from Robert Altman's A Wedding is regrettably not expanded into a 20-car pileup here.
Much less amusing than any wedding, bris, or autopsy you've ever attended
couldnt have been that bad, if you had this much fun panning it

after the shattering, unprecedented success of two previous polls i ran (this one and Movies That Were Probably Made By a Spasm of Six Year-Olds on Acid: The Top 75 Action Films Poll Results Thread) i was thinking (maybe) of running a 2011-2015 poll, maybe in a couple of months when folks have had a chance to catch up on tail-end 2015 films. and also for the dust to settle and the survivors to recover from the ILM 2015 tracks and albums poll.
also, i would demand the return of s1ocki, cankles, & eric h to at least submit a ballot.
only if there's enough interest from potential voters.
