45. Ingrid Goes West
d: Matt Spicer w: Matt Spicer & David Branson Smith
45 points, 3 votes

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.

42= The Disaster Artist
d: James Franco w: Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber
46 points, 3 votes

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?!

this has got to get better soon

"Disaster" indeed

Voting for that next year.

great film, didn't vote for it this year

First of my votes to place :)

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 was curious about that one but at the same time I felt like I'd seen the entire thing in the trailer

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.

i have no idea if a good social-media monster movie has been made. trying Unfriended next maybe.

I was curious about that one but at the same time I felt like I'd seen the entire thing in the trailer

Western is currently #1 on my 2018 ballot

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

Also, it's a debut feature that's actually good, which is always exciting

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.

40= Detroit
d: Kathryn Bigelow w: Mark Boal
49 points, 3 votes

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

I forgot that movie existed.

enjoying these pull quotes sic

Well made, not that well thought out.

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

40= Toni Erdmann
w/d: Maren Ade
49 points, 2 votes 1 #1

Placed at #1 in 2016, with 18 votes, 475 points, and 2 #1 votes.

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.

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

It is probably some posters I like who has voted for Erdmann again, but don't do this ffs!

well not again, but for a previous winner.

^ bad opinion

maybe the best film of the decade so i won't begrudge it

p sure unfriended was in my top-5 last yr

Unfriended was 2014 festivals, theatrical 2015. the Channel 4 all-takes-place-in-laptops film Cyberbully w/ Maisie Williams off of the telly was also 2015.

I hope there’s a Fred B quote for every movie.

Some good ones so far

you've been pulled for one placing tomorrow

Back in the PST morning / NYC afternoon / Britishes evening for #39-20 or so.

sure you guys like anybody who doesnt know what year it is

Glad I was able to sneak a quote into this poll in lieu of not submitting a ballot. Tried to compile one but The Last Jedi made my top ten and I realized I saw way too many good-not-great movies

sure you guys like anybody who doesnt know what year it is

^ not going to vote for the bear film until a 2018 poll

voting for bear film again next year. and year after that. we all need a bit of bear film to lighten up our lifes.

Can't vote again for Bear film if the world ends this year.
