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

win / place / show only refers to horse racing, so we can see how the good Doctor likes to think of art

What was the 2018 film that had the same title as a 2015 film?

Tag (USA 2018) or Tag (Japan 2015).

Let’s discuss a film’s placement in 12th place on the countdown without using the word place from now on pls

[sniffily] you can bet each way on greyhound racing, actually!

Considering changing my dn to “places”

Different places.

just ftr here, there are 2 types of each way multiple bets which might vary from bookie to bookie or be subject to you stating your own preference. Win to win - place to place and All each way - equally divided.

American track betting is pretty different i think tho calz

the independent bookies I used to work for didn't have a branch there, scuse the ignorance. I presume they something similar to the French Parimutuel thingy.

Faces Places Places, Voter Unlaces

Two films based on comics by British writers received votes, and three adapting works by French cartoonists.

What were these?

Atomic Blonde, Kingsman 2, Mutafukaz, Zombilennium and The Death Of Stalin.

golf clap

Thanks sic.

Behind the scenes secret! I preferred this Phantom Thread still, but couldn't pass up the duelling grimaces of Root and Manville in one post.

this is such a trite morbsian false dichotomy, but even so, to engage it as if it were in fact the thrust of the matter: the disregard for whether a movie was a well or badly executed effort of or against its obvious genre classification in order to lobby for the right *type* of movie is a large element of these results

tactical voting is of course the other disgrace. amazing thing for an adult to be doing in ths context.

for an ILE poll on ILF subject matter, its all very ILM

uh talk about windbags

"One other person would have had to put my #1 as their #15 or higher for it to place."

sic, what was your #1? don't remember seeing it in the results thread. (and thank you so much for doing this!)

xp 😘

wow no one else voted for Wonderstruck?

I was put off by the reviews!

I did

I think I have loved every Todd Haynes film! I was disappointed he didn't make it on the 101 directors poll list

i did not love Carol, and i unloved Wonderstruck even more (the b&w silent scenes with the girl mostly excepted_

I loved Carol, easily one of my favorite movies of the decade so far. Wonderstruck was slight in comparison, but that final sequence with the stop motion animation and the model of NYC was really beautiful. I think it was my #24.

I thought Carol was great too, for me it was right up there with Velvet Goldmine and Safe

Safe > Superstar > Poison >>> Carol > Mildred Pierce > Velvet Goldmine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Far From Heaven

closer to backwards than not...

I’ve been finally watching Twin Peaks: The Return and have been reading the excellent spoiler thread along the way. I haven’t seen the whole thing yet but I’m pretty sure if I had seen it in time I would have included it on my list of favorite 2017 films! I’m glad I rewatched S1/2 and Fire Walk With Me before seeing this, it made it that much more of a thing to enjoy obsessing over

sic, what was your #1? don't remember seeing it in the results thread. (and thank you so much for doing this!)

Colossal, by Nacho Vigalondo. I was startled that this completely disappeared from cultural conversation, especially for the world of 2017. A film about medium-town America values, and a feeling of helplessness in the face of personal and world events, and especially about man-to-woman emotional manipulation and gaslighting, that also has big special effects and things being smashed. All built on a very tenuous metaphor that is nevertheless kept simple and unadorned enough to support the weight laden on it.

I had the fortune of going in knowing almost nothing about it, which really helped.

(You're welcome, Dan, and everyone else. It probably wasn't really worth staying up til 4am a couple of nights preparing, but the rollout was lots of fun, and I've got a bunch of new films to maybe watch on a television screen one day.)

Just saw Raw and The Levelling because of this thread. Loved both, especially the latter!

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?
