pleased to have gotten Double King and Kedi into this

can't fucking stand cats, but it looks a worthwhile film.

Double King esp is some staggering animation (AND sound design) imo and fuiud. there will always be space for an animated short on my ballot as long as it isn't by that hertzfeldt dullard

Ingrid Goes West over Columbus for best first feature is some bullshit. (Not as much as magically promoting Get Out beyond the category, of course.) ― Dr Morbius, 4 March 2018

Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen gave two of my favorite performances of the year (the movie's okay to pretty good).

Ingrid Goes West wasn’t doing anything particularly unexpected, but I love it when the protagonist of a film is a genuine creep (a role Aubrey Plaza was born to play). It was much funnier than I expected too.

I thought "the disaster artist" was disappointing. Wiseau is just far too strange a dude to be portrayed as a loveable eccentric dreamer. Seems like a missed opportunity and the biggest laughs were just stuff taken from the movie itself. Although I didnt know the guy was so loaded before I saw the movie. Where did all Wiseau's money come from?! ― Michael B, 29 March 2018

I was curious about that one but at the same time I felt like I'd seen the entire thing in the trailer
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 24 July 2018 20:38 (five years ago) link
xp Although I disagree that it wasn’t doing anything unexpected - so few movies (esp. wide release comedies) feature completely insane and repulsive characters who are given no reprieve.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 24 July 2018 20:39 (five years ago) link
i have no idea if a good social-media monster movie has been made. trying Unfriended next maybe.

The Levelling was understated at the time but has grown on me in retrospect and it feels very Necessary and Of Its Time in a UK spirit-of-the-age way - it has a memorable ambience. Score another one to the imago/tt household
― imago, Tuesday, 24 July 2018 20:51 (five years ago) link
Also, it's a debut feature that's actually good, which is always exciting
― imago, Tuesday, 24 July 2018 20:52 (five years ago) link
was talking to my son and his girlfriend earlier tonight about Unfriended - they didn't think much of it and said it only made visual sense if watch it on a laptop, i'm guessing it's not for you Morbs.

We were going to see Detroit but i read a few things like this http://thegrapevine.theroot.com/i-walked-out-of-detroit-because-wtf-man-1797338083 and we decided not to and then didn't even go to the movies after all. ― El Tomboto, 18 August 2017

And yeah, the quotes are great, lol.
Detroit shook me right up. That and The Levelling the only two I've voted for so far.

Oh, and Western, of course.
what we're gonna do right here is go back

I really need to give it another shot because I do think it has enough going for it that it deserves as much but after all the rapturous acclaim, I found this movie kind of a letdown. Humor-wise, I didn't find it all that funny beside those two scenes (Whitney and nudity), but that being said, those two scenes are the funniest scenes I've seen in movies in years. ― Murgatroid, Wednesday, 4 January 2017

Just realised that all three I've voted for so far are directed by women and I would have probably voted for Toni Erdmann too if it wasn't so old.
― Alba, Tuesday, 24 July 2018 21:34 (five years ago) link
The mixed reaction to Detroit is kind of interesting.
Get Out was a horror movie about social commentary; Detroit was the inverse, a social commentary movie shot like a horror movie. I liked em both
― 5th Ward Weeaboo (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 24 July 2018 21:36 (five years ago) link
It is probably some posters I like who has voted for Erdmann again, but don't do this ffs!

Just saw Raw and The Levelling because of this thread. Loved both, especially the latter!
― Cherish, Saturday, 4 August 2018 19:51 (five years ago) link
Finally saw Wind River. I assumed it would be on here--it was either that, or post to an Olsen Twins thread. Anyway, thought it was good. I liked Jeremy Renner in American Hustle, but I think this is the best performance I've seen by him. Elizabeth Olsen has been good in all three films I've seen her in.

There was a thread recently where there was some debate over when the year-end film poll should be. I thought it would have been here, but I guess not.
Anyway, I wanted to run a political-film poll this summer. Is is possible for the year-end to be over and done with before then?
