Yay, thank you! I'm up to G, so should be sendable within the next couple of hours.

Well that was optimistic. Most brutal ballot yet! So many arbitrary and/or ruthless decisions!
Looking forward to The Hobbit getting the recognition it deserves through the write-in vote.

having just seen it, i would now like to go back and add Jacques Tati's PlayTime to my list because wowowowowowowowowowowowow
― davey, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 10:58 (two years ago) link
Yes! Funny and poignant and perfect. It's in my top 10.
― Cherish, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 12:31 (two years ago) link
Top 5 over here. Been fortunate to see it in the theater a couple of times.
― Chris L, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 13:12 (two years ago) link
At TIFF, I saw a special screening of Playtime that was moved to another venue so they could show a 70mm print.
― Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 13:29 (two years ago) link
Using a VPN, I managed to get myself a free trial for Criterion Channel and watched Playtime. I found it very funny in places and enjoyed it but I think I'd need to see it a few more times and preferably in a cinema to truly get it.
― Pfunkboy AKA (Oor Neechy), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 14:38 (two years ago) link
i'm glad that dunkey introduced so many people to playtime

Tati intended for it to be shown on a loop, so people could come in and out and rewatch any amount of it at random.
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 19:44 (two years ago) link
i could ramble on and on about how beautifully that movie uses glass as a motif. very neat that it was intended as a loop.
i am reminded that i'd like to read this book, "Shard Cinema" by Evan Calder Williams, which muses extensively on things (like glass) shattering and fragmenting on screen.

Playtime was a really memorable film, was in my favorite 25
recently watched Jeanne-Pierre Melville's Army of Shadows for the first time and thought it was fantastic! If I were voting again I think I would put into my ballot in place of Le SamouraĂŻ
― Dan S, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 01:59 (two years ago) link
Sorry, everyone: Playtime topped my "Geez, I hope this doesn't win" list. If it does, fine.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 02:03 (two years ago) link
I really like the earlier Tati films, especially Mon Oncle; found Playtime hit the same note over and over again. It's not really funny, either, which I'm sure some people think is the point (or beside the point).
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 02:08 (two years ago) link
I don't have a "hope this doesn't win" list, I should put some thought into that.
― Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 02:09 (two years ago) link
I liked PlayTime a lot more once I decided that it was okay that I didn't think it was actually that funny.
― edited for dog profanity (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 23 June 2021 02:14 (two years ago) link
Mon Oncle was good too
feel pretty sure whatever wins will be fine
― Dan S, Wednesday, 23 June 2021 02:16 (two years ago) link
I don't know if I've ever had such a viscerally negative reaction to a revered film. Reverence that seems relatively recent--I found a site with a detailed breakdown of the 2002 S&S vote, and if that's accurate, it got 2 votes. What exactly happened after that?

The only time I faced a full-scale riot in my film class happened while showing Playtime.
They calmed down when I explained it's a dud as a comedy but a solid example of visual and sound design, use of long shot, of showing how America looked like in a post-World's Fair climate, etc.

but, clem, correct me if I'm wrong, you're not much of a fan of the sort of leisurely film that Pauline Kael made few exceptions for, right?
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 23 June 2021 02:23 (two years ago) link
I don't know: I think I like/love lots of films that amble along (The Straight Story and Comfort and Joy immediately come to mind). You're probably onto something with "dud as a comedy but a solid example of visual and sound design"--I think I expected something funny, not painfully and skull-crushingly whimsical. The sound design drove me up the wall, mind you.

Having read lots about the '64 World's Fair, though, there might be something there for me.

i mean, that scene where he crawls through a 100 yards of shit and climbs out on the other end a free man and raises his arms to the pouring rainstorm - that was dogshit
its actually a deeply illuminating metaphor but i am not going to tell you what it means due to my cruelty

is it intended to depict America?
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Wednesday, 23 June 2021 02:52 (two years ago) link
just industrial society, I thought. I wouldn't compare The Straight Story, to me Lynch's least interesting film, to Playtime
