If it had more of a bite I'd like it less. Its a kids horror movie and I love that. It's not like some bullshit like One Missed Call or loving Stay Alive where it's a pandering kids horror movie which also tries to feel like a "big boy horror" movie. Like you could show Krampus to a 10 year old and they'll love it and all the monsters and the weird poo poo. IThere's not enough family horror films out there these days. If done right, they can be pretty unique in my opinion.

Yeah, I'd put Krampus in the same genre as like, Home Alone, and The Santa Clause. But like, with a horror twist. It's "Babby's first horror movie" in a good way. Like, kids who watch Krampus are primed for Hellraiser. That's a good thing. Also, I like Krampus.

I made my main tiebreaker how many times I've seen something, because I can't figure out any other tiebreaker that works between Face/Off and The End of Evangelion: 1991: Barton Fink 1992: Glengarry Glenn Ross 1993: Three Colors: Blue 1994: Chungking Express 1995: Friday 1996: Scream 1997: Face/Off 1998: Rushmore 1999: Magnolia 2000: Best in Show 2001: Mulholland Drive 2002: Kung Pow: Enter the Fist 2003: Kill Bill: Volume 1 2004: I Heart Huckabees 2005: Grizzly Man 2006: Paprika 2007: Zodiac 2008: Doubt 2009: A Serious Man 2010: Four Lions 2011: Take Shelter 2012: Killer Joe 2013: Frances Ha 2014: Nightcrawler 2015: Mad Max: Fury Road 2016: Nocturnal Animals Also doing the list made me realize the only two 2017 movies I've seen so far are Split and John Wick: Chapter 2. Get Out's probably taking pole position there tomorrow night thought.

So I finished Timecrimes. Honestly, it was pretty decent. But, let's get this out of the way: This movie has been been on lists forever. It came out in 2007. Which isn't a mark against it. What I mean to say is, this movie has been on "top scifi movies", "top thrillers", "top time travel movies" for like a decade. So I went into it knowing that. And honestly, that wasn't my problem with it. My only problem with it is the dumbest thing. LIke, it's so dumb. I'm just gonna put the whole dumb part in spoiler tags, because, well, it's easier for me. So here's the deal: 80% of this movie is a perfectly passable time-travel thriller with no bullshit conceits. However, the first third of the film revolves around the idea that the protagonist is being chased by a bad guy with pink bandages. Okay. So a guy has pink bandages. That's not crazy. Bandages can be any color. And this is a random stranger. So in this genre, sometimes details just exist to help give the villain form. Here's the part the blows my mind: There is a whole sequence showing that when regular bandages get soaked with blood, they turn pink. Let's look at this again: The main villain is a guy with pink bandages. No one ever suggests that these are bloodsoaked bandages. It doesn't come up. Pink Bandages. So, when a main character is bleeding from his head, and starts to bandage it, they make a big deal that his bleeding headwound is turning the bandages pink. Holy poo poo. So at this point, I was ready to call the movie crap. Like, it doesn't even make any sense. But I looked at the clock and I was only 1/3 of the way through the movie! So it turns out, that this stupid-as-gently caress conceit that doesn't make any sense, where "pink bandages" are a plot point, is actually not relevant to anything. So ignore all of that, read some subtitles, and enjoy a decent movie. Almost as good as Krampus.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Man on Fire is so fearlessly experimental for a relatively mainstream action movie. Love that movie. Tony Scott gets way too much hate. In addition to all the bold risks the film takes stylistically, I'm admittedly a total sap for the surrogate father-daughter relationship between Denzel and Dakota. That poo poo plain rends my heartstrings. Uncle Boogeyman posted:The first several I saw on twitter took the enlightened way out of this dilemma and went with Zodiac. I'd at least put it right up next to those two and I'm fond of telling people that fall into the usual debate of NCFOM vs TWBB that Zodiac is secretly the best film of that year. I'm so excited to see it in theaters next Saturday. I actually passed on it in high school so I'm rectifying an old wrong. As far as other close calls, 1997 was as mentioned a crazy strong year. Couldn't give Titanic, Face/Off or The Sweet Hereafter any props. 2011, which I gave to Drive, left The Tree of Life and A Separation hanging as well. I'll always be particularly fond of that year. It was my first year out of college and I spent most of the summer still working part time as a waiter while I consumed insane amounts of music and film. If you check my last.fm, I think I had double the scrobbles that year than any other year; R.E.M. in particular went from a band I knew of to possibly my all-time favorite. And Drive itself introduced me to Chromatics and the Italians Do It Better record label. Criminal Minded fucked around with this message at 10:09 on Mar 17, 2017 |

At that point he is a panicked dude thinking he's followed by a slasher movie villain, I don't think such a man would look closely at the nature of his follower's head-wrappings.

Caught up on the last two episodes of Dark Archie, I think the talent show is my fav. so far, Archie is a dweeb that doesn't know Bob Dylan.Jenny Angel posted:Like, look at this poo poo, it plain rules that that these creatures' first act upon entering the house is to make themselves more difficult and less rewarding to look at.

I think it's the film that cemented Gilliam was a difficult director that went over budget. I saw both it and Brazil on hbo as a kid, and wasn't entirely sure if they were real or not until "discovering" Gilliam in highschool.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:So... it's the original theatrical cut, not the uncut version. Okay, weird but I guess for the truly uncut version to get put up anywhere, there's someone at WB who's gotta die first, since someone there has a really loving weird hate-boner for The Devils. I don't think the theatrical cut was ever shown in the US, so in that sense, it is the uncut version. Just not the fully restored one. Lurdiak posted:Seriously, look at this poo poo.

I always forget just how good 2012 was. That was easily the hardest year for me and there's like 10+ I'd have been happy saying were the best of the year. Hell, I could make a top 50 of that year without dipping into bad movies.

Spike Jonze probably got the silver in four different years for me and if you swap that, Being John Malkovich, or maybe even Her with Synecdoche, NY I think they'd have taken 2008 hands down. I think that was my weakest non-2017 year.

K. Waste posted:Woe be unto thee who speaks ill of 2014. Yeah, looking through the past few years that one stuck out. A handful of classics; a solid bench from directors like Fincher, Anderson, Jonze, the Coens, Scorsese, Linklater, the Dardennes, Nolan; genre standouts like Edge of Tomorrow, The Babbadook, Blue Ruin, The Raid 2; excellent documentaries like CitizenFour and The Look Of Silence. Even the popcorn stuff was better than average with Godzilla, the Apes movie, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
