  1. Yeah I was astonished solely on the look. This feels like they're pushing the limits of computer animation to a whole other level. Says a lot considering how incredible the first movie was in visuals and art style and animation and stuff.
  2. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
  3. Yeah I changed it because of The Way of Water coming out this week. Wanted to do Quaritch, because Stephen Lang's arms are 😍, but I thought being an ass and choosing the other Avatar was funnier lol
  4. In one hour, our lives will change forever...because of the Spider-Verse trailer, but also the reviews for this movie I guess.
  5. #5 Garfield: The Movie 171 points, 26 lists "If I didn't have a box over my head, I'd be humiliated." #1 placements: 2 #3 placements: 2 Top 5 placements: 10 Box Office: $75.4M DOM, $203.2M WW Rotten Tomatoes: 14% Metacritic: 27 Awards: N/A Its Legacy: Brought the popular comic strip to the mainstream. Showed the world the importance of keeping your pets spayed and neuteured. Made people aware about the good tastiness of Wendy's via subtle product placement. Boosted sales of lasagna ten-fold. Garnered a sequel and a reboot with Christ Pratt. Gave Stephen Tobolowsky a paycheck. Commentary: Did you guys know that this is a Coen brothers movie? Joel Coen himself wrote the screenplay and I guess directed it under the pseudonym Peter Hewitt? Odd choice, but I respect that. Anyways, while Garfield was slammed by critics, there’s a lot to like just on the concept alone. Garfield has always been a fascinating character who embraces sloth and gluttony, making him a morally complex figure that audiences are still oddly supportive of. A perfect Coens figure right alongside Anton Chigurh. And with Bill Murray expertly delivering the voice to this character laden with nuance and sarcasm, we have a comedy that features tons of charm, a thrilling story, plenty of laughs and a weirdly high level of Wendy’s product placement. And it seems people here really wanted to stick it to the critics, because of just how high it placed. So good on you guys for voting against the grain and supporting a movie from the heart. It's clear, since almost everybody voted for this seemingly slight and drab kids movie that this is a real, true classic to so many of you. Now if you excuse me, I’m going to go get a Baconator. And maybe some lasagna too while I’m at it.
  6. #6 Inside Llewyn Davis 144 points, 21 lists "Folk singer with a cat. You queer?" #1 placements: 1 #2 placements: 2 #3 placements: 2 Top 5 placements: 8 Box Office: $13.2M DOM, $33M WW Rotten Tomatoes: 92% Metacritic: 93 Awards: Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, 2 Academy Award nominations, 3 BAFTA Award nominations, 4 Critics Choice Award nominations, 3 Golden Globe Award nominations, 3 Independent Spirit Award nominations Its Legacy: Appeared in AFI's and NBR's Top 10 Films of the Year. #11 on NYT's "Best Movies of the 21st Century So Far". #14 on Rolling Stone's "50 Best Movies of the 2010s". Brought to light the life of Dave Van Ronk. Brought the Cones back with T Bone Burnett post-O Brother. Joined the Criterion Collection in 2016. Was criticized by some folk music circles. Gave Justin Timberlake a paycheck. Commentary: Yeah this movie’s also funny and the folk music is wonderful. Kind of surprised the soundtrack didn’t take off like O Brother’s did if I’m being honest. But its main storyline is a brutal one. Llewyn Davis’ quest, really, is finding purpose. He’s a man who is passionate about his art, but nobody wants to listen to him or give him even the most basic of courtesy. It only shuts him down and makes him more isolated from the world and feel as if the universe is out to get him. It’s an oddly relatable feeling. While Davis is not the kindest person out there, the feeling that there’s nobody who understands what you are going through...that’s relatable. A little too relatable in some cases. But that’s what film is all about. Places where we discover ourselves and find new truths.
  7. #7 Raising Arizona 137 points, 20 lists "Edwina's insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase." #2 placements: 3 #3 placements: 1 Top 5 placements: 11 Box Office: $22.8M DOM, $29.2M WW Rotten Tomatoes: 90% Metacritic: 69 Awards: N/A Its Legacy: Ranked #31 in AFI's Top 100 Comedies and #45 on Bravo's 100 Funniest Movies. Reportedly the last movie the Coens "made that made any significant amount of money". An all-time favorite for Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, and Spike Lee. Gave Randall "Tex" Cobb a paycheck. Commentary: And speaking of Looney Tunes, Raising Arizona is perhaps the silliest, the weirdest, the downright goofiest film ever made by Joel and Ethan. The premise is already a strange one, as two infertile hillbillies kidnap a baby. And it leads to one of the most insane films ever made. The comedy and humor is turned up to 11 with classic bits of mugging, hilarious bits of visual humor, and a universe full of crazy, offbeat characters. This is all capped off with some of the best directed comedy scenes ever and a car chase that is absolutely golden, with joke after joke after joke, all hitting like bullseyes. It’s incredible to think this was only their second movie. The Coens designed this film to be a complete departure from everything Blood Simple was, which is absolutely brilliant. It not only allowed the filmmakers to get out of their comfort zone, but show the world they are more than just one thing. They have the power to make movies that aren’t just the dark comedy crime thrillers that their first film presented. And while the latter is what people know them best for, Raising Arizona still shows there is more under the hood. That they have a movie for everybody. And that’s more important than anything else, really. BTW Nicolas Cage is sooooooooo sexy in this movie. That moustache is just oml 😍

  11. Straight Story's score still hits me emotionally even just thinking about it. Devastating loss.
