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

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

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?

otm though

earlier part of your post was also extremely otm karl but i am a horrible cat person

wha's a cat

not much, what's a cat a you?

gonna finish this off today?

I think call me by your name will beat out twin peaks although obv I’m rooting for that not to be the case. Prob other things will too since many ppl won’t vote for it on principle

As ever I would welcome a classic ilx-style upset in the top spot as long as it isn’t star wars

I voted for a number of LGBT movies. Call Me By Your Name wasn't among them.

i think several of the queer voters value BPM higher

Call Me By Your Name was more intoxicating as a Jewish liberal arts fantasy than a romantic fantasy.

whatever floats your peach

voted for both. I was thinking Get Out would win

Lol is any of that true

Writing credits & number 1 votes I mean

Paddington 2 is wonderful down to the smallest detail. Even the "2" is introduced in a sweet, not-tacky way, on the title screen. I'd say I liked it more than the first one, but maybe I was just riding a Paddington high and ready for more.

Took a couple of kids from work to see it and laughed so hard at one scene I thought I wasn't going to stop. Stays true to the spirit of the original, too. Everybody in this is perfect.

― Noodle Vague, January 24, 2018

What a charmingly simple, innocent, calming, ridiculous movie this was. A couple of hilariously subtle jokes. My fave was when the inmates introduced themselves and one of them more or less was revealed as a politician, which earned another really subtle "no comment" callback a few beats later. Not sure I got the joke beyond the maybe obvious, but I love how Knuckles had "Knuckle's" (with the erroneous apostrophe) tattooed on his knuckles.

oh, animation.

You might think Noah Taylor was all CGI, but every frame was actually hand-painted.

This is probably less animated than the new Spielberg film

j/k, i might see this... someday

Same

wins - there was a list of ten or so writer & comedian types with "special thanks" or similar in the opening titles, and a massive list buried in the closing credits. I assume the ones at the start chipped in gags that got used, and the others didn't.

apparently it was all from reading and responding to King & Farnaby's script, not a collaborative room, or anyone else writing any drafts.

A Bear Film Wes Anderson Rip

lmao at the reveal sic

This was good and I voted for it

This means that a couple of extremely wonderful and obscure things have made the top 20, btw
