This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year AND DECADE in Cinema" -- 2019

yikes, Clerks!

I sat thru #12-14, and there went many hours

At this point each year's Nat'l Film Registry list is about half eye-opening and incredibly cool-looking a-g or documentary works from the first half of the century, and half I Love the 80s/90s fodder.

Cool list

Morbs where did you watch a 13 hour movie?

It screened at some fests and rep houses, split over three nights

what does the film registry actually do with the things it preserves? Obtain celluloid prints and place them in cold storage?

I'm not part of the Ash is Purest White-Pain and Glory consensus. Need to watch Transit again; I've never been mad about Petzold.

Mildly shocked Portrait of a Lady on Fire is as low as it is.

in NYC, Lincoln Center split La Flor into 5 parts, I think. Took me 13 days, I think.

Transit would be in my top 5 fer sure

How do you split La Flor in five?

it would be hilarious to watch one "part" per night considering the wildly divergent lengths of the parts

Yeah, isn't one part like three days long?

seemed so

Vulture: https://www.vulture.com/2019/12/every-movie-of-the-2010s-ranked-sort-of.html

lmao that is one way to do it

I'm so glad I maxed out on the articles I can read there for free this month.

The one at 5,272 played in main competition at Cannes, and how the fuck hasn't that cost someone their job already?

I had no idea they even had an article limit which I guess says it all.

The only WTF I care to mention is What's Next in the Worst

you’re next is the worst movie of the decade? they need to try harder

or i guess one of the worst*

they also stuck Endgame at the very bottom for the clicks, which? fine

melancholia is #1, Avenger at #5,279 suggest this is mostly a list of movies in unranked order for clicks so wheeeeeeeeeeeee

Here are the 4,961 films that are neither the best nor the worst movies.

It's clickbait and I won't blame anyone for not peeking, but ...

The Tree of Life (#52) criminally too low

Way too many to list criminally too high

otm

Les Miserables too high in that BP ranking

also Vice

Dallas Buyers Club is in the bottom quarter and it really should be in the bottom 4 or so.

the bottom -4, you meant

NO OSCARS

the trouble with ranking them is that 30 of them should be in the bottom 3

i was surprised dallas buyers club wasn't at the very bottom

jean-marc vallée is a fucking hack

not that there was any salvaging that material anyway but ^^^^^

down in Death Vallée

this was a new one on me, giving it a look: https://www.topic.com/cutting-my-mother

may i point out that The Image Book is next to The Illusionist, which came out in 2006

Now, not featuring anyone who's in this thread! (I think.)

https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/the-25-best-films-of-2019/

Different illusionist, right? The animated one by the triplets of Belleville guy is from this decade

Malick 11th in Slant

Image Book 38th, smdh

It's like a bad dream written in a stormy night
