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

wait, you thought this movie captured PKD's essence more than a PKD book?

the original movie and the book are irrelevant to how bad BR 2049 was

but since you brought it up it fundamentally *misses* PKD's essence imo, which is that humanity is defined by empathy (and not by, like, whether your memories are real or who your daddy was)

No, the first movie and other adaptations. I liked it a lot more than the book, though.

movies shouldn't really bother being re-tellings of books tbf

not as good as total recall imo

11. The Lost City of Z

i was also sorta bored by this, but not in an aggressively unpleasant way, since i still realy liked it. struck me as appropriate to the whole sober approach of the movie to never really allow the Ravel piece that pops up a few times to really take up all the space on the soundtrack--it always seems rather muted.

i promised myself i was never gonna fuck with BR 2000 but if i keep hearing how pretty and boring and vapid it is i'll probably end up seeing it eventually, plus Jared Leto has somehow become a guilty pleasure of mine

it's extremely pretty and boring and vapid, nood xp

a very unconventional "man's adventure" period piece, still need a second viewing. had it #10

plz switch to discussing Lost City

Didn’t see it, carry on

The Lost City of Z felt, to me, like the kind of movie that might have been a major Hollywood release in decades past, but is treated as arthouse fare these days. I liked it.

the first of 2 Robert Pattinson appearances in countdown

Not much in the scores between #11 and #10.

10. A Quiet Passion
w/d: Terence Davies

too low, beautiful film

my #1 and #2

respectively

there's a hallucinatory clarity to Gray's film that has nothing to do with Boorman or Herzog; he's one of a kind among American directors.

agreed

finally, would make out with Charlie Hunnam in the tall grass

Lost City was really pretty, especially in some of the final shots.

For some reason I completely slept on both of those. Might watch one tonight

hadn't heard of the Gray film, sounds p interesting. will put it on my list

the first of 2 Robert Pattinson appearances in countdown

I had completely forgotten about that! (/repressed)

hey we liked the other one!

Quote for A Quiet Passion:

Sigh. I was the lone voter for more than half my ballot, including my #1. Fucking release dates...

second view of AQP: future Governor Nixon still excellent, as is Ehle, but some real problems in the script and supporting cast. Knocked it to my second ten.

sic stick to the open-mike nights

I really should want to see A Quiet Passion, huh?

yes you should

Halfway through. This should take us to the bittersweet end.

what's up 18 hour movievision show

Welp, guess Get Out takes it then.

something has either been miscounted or my #s 1 and 2 completely went OFF amongst the lurkers

Some films still to place that I would never have expected to get this high...

A Quiet Passion made me think of mortal fragility and aching sadness and there were some tremendous performances. my no.1 and I watched it 4 times.

we're dickinson fans so completely unaccountable that we didn't see it. must correct

Twin Peaks voters = don't know what longform TV is
Get Out voters = don't know what a TV sketch is

Did not vote but happy that I am the quote for Lost City of Z, as it would have been my #1. Obsessed with it. Wonderful movie.

there were some beautiful sequences in AQP but i was disappointed. one character whose witticisms were meant to delight dickinson was partic painful

Uh! Must be something wrong with the ㄣ

let's see

Twin peaks amazing but should really be on next year’s list
