RIPPA Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I should note - to go back to some discussion from the previous pages - that we are in the area that I have started calling (to myself) the "the Hope Spot" section. I wouldn't immediately rule out anything - especially if you look at some of the recent reveals There are still like 7 movies to drop that only received 2 votes. After we clear the 2 vote movies, then maybe start to despair. God the 10 I am hoping to post today are all over the fucking place.

I still liked it, for those very reasons... but it was still suffering from those reasons as well. It also kind of fizzled at the end and felt like much ado about nothing.

Octopus Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I am really excited to eventually watch Shoplifters. It’s a buddy of mine’s favorite and we were gonna watch it together. Maybe we should work something out where we’re on the phone while watching and play it at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Execproducer Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Definitely expected Shoplifters to get more love than that. Probably doesn't bode well for any more Koreeda showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Okay I need to explain. Yes - Batman: The Dark Knight is technically two movies. Both voters submitted ballots where it was listed as one. I originally asked each to submit corrected ballots but editing both ballots ended up being a detriment to both this AND all the other movies they voted for. So I decided it to include it all as one because you can find a version where it is all released together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Spoiler 156) EDGE OF TOMORROW (2014) Director: Doug Liman 170 Points (3 Votes) - HIGH VOTE: RIPPA (#19) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: Control, The Z IMDB : ROTTEN TOMATOES (91%/90%) : METACRITIC (71/8.7) My review from when I watched it which also pretty much sums up what the board discussion centered on Quote Watched Edge of Tomorrow/Live Die Repeat (which I really really enjoyed) I don't know which I am more frustrated by: People saying it wasn't a success because it "only" made $100 million domestically (it made $269 worldwide) or the fucking name change for the DVD release because people are stupid or something. Also - are there people who are still all "I won't see a Tom Cruise movie because he is bat shit insane"? http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3504-april-2015-movie-thread/&do=findComment&comment=357207 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 WTF I left Edge of Tomorrow off my ballot???! Gross oversight on my part, especially since it came out in 2014, which I’ve long considered the GOAT year for big-budget genre films when you look at everything that came out that year.

I was really hesitated in how they could hold the premise for the 2 hour run time. Totally worth the watch, thou. The biggest surprise was how believable everything was: from how they handled the zombies to various reactions from people who's lizard brain took over. I'm looking forward to the sequel, hopefully they do better than 28 Weeks Later. http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6678-2018-horror-movie-thread/&do=findComment&comment=734790 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just about the perfect way to watch it. If you like Primer, or sci-fi in general, or xkcd, you pretty much need to see that movie. I'm surprised I'm not hearing more about it. http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1245-2014-movie-omnibus-thread/&do=findComment&comment=236509 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Okay - of the 10 movies I have posted today, @Execproducer was the high vote on four of them.

Leonidas Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Man, both Hard To Be A God and Coherence look so much up my alley, I am so out of the loop on movies. Working hard on a project at the moment, but should have most of December free, going to spend it binging movies and grinding Cyberpunk I think.
