RIPPA Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 1 hour ago, S.K.o.S. said: Without seeing the numbers, you're probably right. I have a special attachment to it because I saw it when it premiered at the Toronto film festival, when Villeneuve was much, much less of a name. I checked it out because I saw someone online (don't even remember if it was a professional reviewer) who said something like "Well, I haven't seen this movie, but I've seen the play it's based on, and if the movie is anywhere near as good as the play, it'll be amazing." Yeah I figured since you had it #12 on the all time poll, it would at least be a Top 10 on your ballot So just being conservative and tossing 90 points onto it would have gotten it into the mid-30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 I am gonna try and get us to the Top 50 today The next batch of 10 is another one of those fun ones where it is all over the fucking place in terms of type of movies. Plus - a movie that people have been waiting to see where it drops... drops Anyway - let me churn through this work that just got dropped in my lap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 1 hour ago, jaedmc said: I thought it was hilarious. I think both of that dude's movies (Midsommar/Hereditary) are comedies that instead of "jokes" he just decapitates something or bashes in a skull. And I feel like I'm actually enjoying them, not in an ironic "it's so laughably bad it's entertaining" kind of way. Whoever wrote in the horror thread that Hereditary was a parody of Baumbachesque indie movies about rich families with problems was dead on.

Curt McGirt Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I got more than a few laughs out of the pure schadenfreude of Midsommar, but feel no need to watch it again. Call it an arthouse version of a slasher where everyone's an asshole and you watch just to see them knocked off I guess. And I STILL never finished watching Hereditary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuarón's camerawork isn't as showy as in Children of Men, but it's equally impressive. The camera just lingers in a way. He uses light in such a unique way. Definitely recommend it. Also, I went down a Wikipedia rabbit hole to learn more about that Mexico City riot in '71. Wild. CIA involvement, trained killers, officials resigning etc, etc. http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7429-movies-december-2018-discussion/&do=findComment&comment=815029 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to tie this up @caley wrote "I'm pretty high on most of Villeneuve's stuff ('Sicario' and, especially, 'Arrival', as well as 'Prisoners') so this seems like something I should really get around to seeing. " Looking at the list of voters, I see he did. Also - @The Zwas one of the two voters of it the last time I do NOT remember voting for this. I mean, I'm sure I did and it's good, it's just not something I remember having in the mix for my Top 100. It is a very good movie but heavy, HEAVY subject matter. The reason I put this off so long is that, even though I took 13 years of French Immersion, I still find it really hard to watch a French movie without English subtitles (Plus my French is WAY out of practice, a French-Canadian reporter thanked me on Twitter a few weeks ago and I actually had to Google how to say "You're welcome" in French (It's "de rien", if you're interested, even if that's not a literal translation, but more like "It was nothing!")) and for the longest time Canadian Netflix only had this with French Audio and French subtitles, which didn't work for me. I think I finally DVRed it off a cable channel finally with proper subtitles. 6 hours ago, RIPPA said: Reveal hidden contents 65) THE IRISHMAN (2019) Director: Martin Scorsese 328 Points (6 Votes + 1 HM) - HIGH VOTE: BP (#17) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: The Z, Bill S Preston, Octopus, EVA, KLOS - HONORABLE MENTION: Caley IMDB : ROTTEN TOMATOES (96%/86%) : METACRITIC (94/8.1) @caleywrote @Andy in Kansas wrote NOTE FROM RIPPA - The post before Caley's is from Curt reviewing Irishman in which he says its good but then just shits on the de-aging technology the entire time. In general, this movie has a lot of easily findable reviews on both sides of the fence (probably the combo being recent and on Netflix) I actually rewatched it this summer and I feel like most of what I said stands. A lot of people described this as Scorsese atoning for and analyzing his role in profiting/tradng in violent cinema over the years, but I feel like that's an extra level of metaphor that isn't actually there, mainly because at no point do I feel like Frank is atoning or analyzing anything he's done. He seems pretty proud of it, right up until the end. 5 hours ago, RIPPA said: Reveal hidden contents 63) HEREDITARY (2018) Director: Ari Aster 335 Points (7 Votes) - HIGH VOTE: BP (#9) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: Bill S Preston, Caley, KLOS, Control, New Blood, Execproducer IMDB : ROTTEN TOMATOES (89%/67%) : METACRITIC (87/7.2) @Ultimo Necroreview from Halloween Havoc 2018 I gotta say I did not find 'Hereditary' hilarious or a satire of anything. I thought it chillingly dark and upseting Spoiler That scene where the kid's head gets knocked off is one of the most shocking "Did that really happen? Maybe it was just a dream." and then you see the kid's head on the ground covered in ants! And it dawns on you that it really happened. 5 hours ago, RIPPA said: Reveal hidden contents 61) LADY BIRD (2017) Director: Greta Gerwig 340 Points (5 Votes + 1 HM) - HIGH VOTE: Sublime (#17) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: Execproducer, Jae, BP, Bill S Preston - HONORABLE MENTION: Caley IMDB : ROTTEN TOMATOES (99%/79%) : METACRITIC (94/7.6) I had this way high, like Top 30/40 on my list and when I started thinking about it, I couldn't remember almost anything about the movie. And I started to rewatch it, got bored and turned it off. I figured that was a pretty solid reason to knock it off my list and replace it with something that I enjoyed more but also remembered and had a bigger impact on me. 10 minutes ago, RIPPA said: Reveal hidden contents 60) TAKE SHELTER (20110 Director: Jeff Nichols 341 Points (6 Votes) - HIGH VOTE: Execproducer (#15) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: Jae, Bill S Preston, Caley, Control, New Blood IMDB : ROTTEN TOMATOES (92%/81%) : METACRITIC (85/7.8) I haven't watched this in years and always want to revisit it, but Michael Shannon's performance is so good, that it's almost physically painful to watch his life kind of unravel. 3 minutes ago, RIPPA said: Reveal hidden contents 60) JOKER (2019) Director: Todd Phillips 351 Points (5 Votes) - HIGH VOTE: Hobo Joe (#1) - ADDITIONAL VOTES: Natural, The Z, Octopus, New Blood IMDB : ROTTEN TOMATOES (68%/88%) : METACRITIC (59/9.0) I finally got around to seeing Joker this past summer. It's perfectly fine. It's pretty much a one performance movie and super heavy-handed. I never bought into all the incel talk, to be honest, felt like that was people projecting stuff onto the movie that it was really putting out there. It was just a sad-sack leading a shitty life until he's pushed to the brink and goes over the edge. It did not need to be over two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
