Delayed Due To Projection Issues - the 2017 ILX Film Poll Results Thread

not hard at all, they managed it

I laughed so hard throughout Death of Stalin and also shivered and that's exactly what the film was about, in that regard it's a complete success, basically I don't agree with you guys but I love you all nonetheless.

I thought it was very funny and surprisingly moving. I'd have preferred everyone to be British, i guess, it would have made more sense and been funnier. Isaacs was the bomb but Andrea Riseborough's performance was stunning as well.

Kedi was shit

what a strong opinion for that particular film

Baby Driver would've been better if there'd been a scene of Ansel and me making out.

xyzzzz is this thread's Psikopat

i reckon if Buscemi was a bit more shortarsed he'd make a cracking Yezhov. But the only way to improve The Death of Stalin would be to ditch Ianucci and that style of unsubtle, and unrelenting hard pummelling lol-tested zings in a non-stop manner, that makes me want to give up after 10 mins these days.

of all the posters to eschew unrelenting hard pummelling calz!

I know I'm a wanker, but at least attempt to try and keep it polite!

ha im not having a dig but your style once roused is notably uh..'direct' just sayin it struck me as a contrast to yr criticism of the movie (although yeah its a fair stick to beat DoS with, i just happened to enjoy it)

I might have even liked it myself at some earlier point of my life. I find as I get older some internal switches permanently click into the off position (including the switch marked "intelligence" some might say!) and things i used to be able to watch - i just can't tolerate much anymore.

ha ha otm

i can barely even hard pummel a clove of garlic atm fwiw!

Spacey's proprietorial interest in Elgort would make Baby Driver a very difficult rewatch for me today.

Even if you give everyone an extra six months to see the films (and had a 'hype your favourite films' thread at the start of the year), you'd still need to sort out eligibility criteria - 'shown once in NYC on 31/12' would be a little silly.

the future is perpetual polls covering the trailing 12 month period

This was one of the only interesting things in the text of the film originally!


'shown once in NYC on 31/12' would be a little silly.

the rule is plainly "if Morbs went to that one screening it is eligible"

I think that’s as good a rule as any.

Not that I vote in these.

Ansel Elgort is the young Hollywood heartthrob who most makes me feel like Morbs regarding young Hollywood heartthrobs.

i.e. you can't admit in public that you'd make out with him

i.e. give me a baseball player any day of the week

GODDAMMIT if only we had strict rules that films which previously placed can't be voted for again

lol yeah that wd be a stupid rule

how many of you 8 motherfuckers who voted for that smug Baby Driver even saw Death of Louis XIV?

Oscar eligibility should be the marker

usa, usa, usa.... lol

Death of Stalin was just fine, and it's from 2018 in the good ol' USA

you can make comedy out of cancer, AIDS, nuclear war, and my dating history.

i think yer all voting for so many '18 films here so you can put the new actionporn MISSION: UNSPEAKABLE in at least 5 slots next year

lazy dialogue etc

what a strong opinion for that particular film

Thanks.

Seriously though playing up the quirkyness is the only thing ever allowed with a film abt cats.

Snakes with fur are just cruel and overrated vermin imo, but I love a good dog movie.

Bet many ppl in Istanbul hate them but its going to a Western market so we gotta respect. Call it 'magical' too and there you go.

Sorry folks, poll's on hold while I retabulate to remove xyzzz's votes. We don't tolerate hate speech in this establishment.

Chris marker is sad and disappointed

re: The Square - like it just doesn't work, not least because it will only ever play at the kind of art centres its taking the piss out of

The Square sold 100.000 + tickets in Denmark, iirc, and I suspect it did just as well in Sweden. Sometimes filmmakers make films for their own context, y'know?

Like Paddington bear?

did big numbers in Peru iirc

amazed at that Varda quote; it seems old ladies like cats!

cats are the enigmatic guards of a sacred cosmic plane of centered self-possession that humans can only reach by befriending felines. kedi was a pleasant afternoon date movie, kinda forgot about it.

i normally love getaway car heist movies, and I like Edgar Wright but my god i did not like Baby Driver at all.
Ok that’s not true. I liked the music. That’s it.
The movie felt like a cross between an Apple commercial and a car commercial. dumb, annoying, stupid. SO annoying.

Bad year for overrated British auteurs beginning with 'W'.

I'm about 90% sure this ends with Phantom Thread first and Twin Peaks second--Twin Peaks simply requires too much of a time investment for it to have been seen by enough people to finish first. 9% that it goes the other way, and 1% I'm forgetting something obvious between them.

i feel like they interviewed many ppl in istanbul? like, i watched a documentary where that happened and it was called kedi?
