jjjusten would have boosted by death race 2000 vote, but I wonder, would DJP have helped me push Pirates of the Caribbean over the top?

Okay ams. Go ahead. Poll it again. Poll it again. You're the ace film man, poll it again. It's a simple list, just poll it again. Poll what you say! Poll it again! Poll it again!! Two polls, ballots come through here, polls cancel other out. Oh my? Where'd you learn that?

NZA needs to come back and explain his damn self.

so peter weller is a doctoral candidate in renaissance art at ucla now apparently. someone i was talking to went to a lecture there on the homoerotics of michelangelo without looking at the name of who was speaking and was kind of surprised to walk in and the guy who is speaking is robocop

"There is no director living except maybe Kurosawa, Bergman, or Antonioni that I would fall down and do anything for. I met Antonioni three years ago in Taormina at a film festival. I introduced myself and told him that I adored his movies, his contributions to film, because he was the first guy who really started making films about the reality of the vacuity between people, the difficulty in traversing this space between lovers in modern day... and he never gives you an answer, Antonioni – that's the beautiful thing."[3]

ha, i don't have any good explanation, i just like destroyer better, i like grace jones, and the knifey guy

Weller showed up in one of my favorite episodes of Fringe I think last season or the season before...dude is still awesome.

I liked Inception. I don't understand the vitrol.

it sucks, if that helps

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:13 (twelve years ago) link

Oh that's why!

Jeff, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:14 (twelve years ago) link

it's a very easy movie for people to feel superior about because all movies that have anything to do with dreams must be surreal freakouts even though most people's dreams aren't like that

(thinks and smiles) (DJP), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:15 (twelve years ago) link

peter weller's in a bunch of history channel THE ANCIENT WORLD documentaries too

Most of my dreams end up with Neil Diamond or Robert Smith singing beeping alarm clock songs.

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link

no no no, it's easy to feel superior cos it's a v. mediocre action flick with nerd accessories to make it seem deep, man

it's a very easy movie for people to feel superior about because all movies that have anything to do with dreams must be surreal freakouts even though most people's dreams aren't like that

most people's dreams ARE like action movies with huge explosions, car chases, and guys in uniforms with guns tho

erotic war comedy pollster (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:16 (twelve years ago) link

i find that it's easy to feel superior abt inception mostly because it sucks

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:17 (twelve years ago) link

also cos Chris Nolan is a tool

contreatable logorrhea (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:17 (twelve years ago) link

I don't "feel superior" about bad movies, mostly I just get irritated about sitting through them

xp

erotic war comedy pollster (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:17 (twelve years ago) link

kinda how i feel about ilx

"renegade" gnome (remy bean), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link

I mostly laughed my way through Inception tbh - any time Lenny tried to "emote" with his doughface or someone launched into exposition about how dreams "work" in particulr

erotic war comedy pollster (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link

i like Inception OK, but omar's fake-out of it getting the #3 spot was jarring (and classic!)

Jurgis Rudkus // Dick Butkus (Pillbox), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link

it is pretty dreamlike in the way all the characters are cardboard finger puppets

contreatable logorrhea (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:21 (twelve years ago) link

there we go

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link

ironically, i liked inception more than shutter island because, as far as movies about sweaty bigface missing his dead wife go, inception was more of a surreal freakout.

da croupier, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link

lol @ "sweaty bigface"

erotic war comedy pollster (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link

first read that as "sweaty meatface" - worked okay

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link

inception was more of a surreal freakout.

yr doing it wrong

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:24 (twelve years ago) link

you guys got the memo that 'inception' didn't actually place in the top 75, right, just checking. i could do a florida recount if it would please you, though.

omar little, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:27 (twelve years ago) link

any time Lenny tried to "emote" with his doughface

Chris S, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:27 (twelve years ago) link

actually according to the recap, every movie that placed was Inception
