"I've Watched A LOT of MOVIES, Paul!" - The ILX 2013 Film Poll Voting and Discussion Thread -Closes Feb. 28th, Midnight EST

have you seen 2 Guns, Eric? I notice White House Down creeping onto your list there and I think it easily outdoes that in the absurd throwback action stakes

I did. I also saw Olympus Has Fallen (which a much snobbier friend of mine championed). What can I say? Our guilty pleasures choose us, and they all probably suck.

there seems to a surprisingly clear divide between defenders of the two stupid White House under attack movies (I went with WHD as well)

I also voted for Lone Survivor which, despite its many dodgy aspects, does contain possibly the best shootout in American cinema since Heat

Missing Picture got some festival play plus a week-long thing in LA ( and maybe NY?) just for Oscar eligibility. I think it comes out properly (though dubbed in English) this month or the next.

xposts

Also, Cherish, there are ~~ways~~ to see Last Time I Saw Macao

no, NY was only the Festival. LA shouldn't count.

so clemenza is the one non-millionaire in the Western world who liked the Bergdorf Goodman documentary? I saw the trailer and wanted to call in an Al Qaeda operation.

i kinda hated it tbh and i only got through the first half hour

caught up on a few things

Kings of Summer - this was really great, slot it in @ 5 or so

Fruitvale Station - not bad, obv going for more weight but is a few
magnitudes less good than 'gimme the loot'
