the prettiest piece of stupid shit you'll ever see.

NYMPHOMANIAC and SHOWGIRLS had self-awareness. i sincerely doubt 50 SHADES OF GREY will be anything more than rape fantasy.

i do very much want to watch ROBOCOP and BASIC INSTINCT.

frank miller is a fascist.

29. HOLY MOTORS 2012 LEOS CARAX [synecdoche new york] is clearly present in this film about the artifice of reality, and its transparent visual, aural and emotional manipulations are highly reminiscent of both david lynch and lars von trier. nevertheless, leos carax is unable to sustain either the consistent aesthetic or the philosophical coherence of his influences. anyhow, this was a very weird movie that had the positive quality of being very much not boring, and i enjoyed it on a surface level. it just didn't hit me. 65 points

30. UPSTREAM COLOR 2013 SHANE CARRUTH an audacious and highly abstract experiment that attempts to represent human lives, or life itself, or even the entirety of the material universe as some interconnected conglomerate pulsating with emotion and desire. well, yeah. i dunno how successful it is, or whether its elusive goal even makes sense, as the characters seemed to be one step away from spitting phrases such as 'life force', 'chakra', and 'zero point energy'. whatever the case, it's nice to see something original. hypnotic too. 65 points

31. FINDING VIVIAN MAIER 2013 JOHN MALOOF, CHARLIE SISKEL the most interesting aspect was how the stories of people who knew this photographically prolific recluse were matched with her celluloid on screen. i do wonder though, if our lives were to be barely recorded, and then dug up by some nosy archaeologist, whether a collage of our most 'interesting' aspects would too make us look crazy. john maloof was not a very good narrator. 65 points

32. MOONRISE KINGDOM 2012 WES ANDERSON light-hearted with a soft bite. undoubtedly extremely well compiled and its explorations of youth is interesting; nevertheless, something about it prevented it from really affecting me. perhaps it's the quirkiness that never felt entirely natural, a bit forced, not helped by the two leads whose effort was admirable but suffered the usual issues of young actors. 65 points

okay. feel free to add yourself to what i'm sure will be a massive list. cameron haterrzzzz lisa

yes, they are. (ok maybe i was exaggerating, but seeing this and THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING close together makes my statement very understandable)

can we please just ban the academy from nominating biopics? every single fucking one of them is the same. D

blah.

i've already seen it, and yes i do.

well i have only seen 158 films in the decade so far, 115 which are features.
