ALL HAIL FORKY!!!! 

 

I like the the concept of the movie and still think the Bo Peep stuff will be in there, but thankfully not the overall main story thread. 

 

Not going to watch any trailers for this, so this will be all I will see until it comes out.

1st - Inside Out: 33 Votes, 4 First, 9 top 5, 5 top 10  1005 points

 

Previous List - 1st

 

 

The film that brought Pixar back to its best. 

 

And I really love this film. I considered it top 3 Pixar when it first came out and I think it is still 4th at worst in my personal opinion. It is another film in the Coco, Incredibles Line that does not have a trough moment. It is consistent from start to finish and it also opens up a world of possibilities to maybe one day return to this concept. 

 

If I find myself doing this list for yet a 3rd time in 2020 (I've yet to actually ever initiate the poll ), I wonder if it will threepeat.

Yes! The greatest animated movie of all-time was rightfully #1!

Yeah Moana is far superior to Zootopia. The wrong movie won all the awards that year.

Life is way more important. I really enjoyed this. You did a great job. At least now I won’t have to be the next one eliminated.

72nd - Finding Dory: 15 Votes,  198 points

 

Previous List - 58th 

 

 

I'm not sure if I am more happy about this dropping 20 places, or disappointed it is still in the top 100.

 

Dory is for me one of the most annoying characters created by animation, let alone by Pixar. I just find her so grating to listen to and this film has its fair share of annoying stupidity that was pretty hard to bare. The speaking whale stuff is nothing short of horrible in my opinion and it is the weakest Pixar sequel from the entire filmography in my opinion. (Although there are 2 Pixar originals/first films worse than it is, one of which is still to come)

 

This film does have some positive points, I kind of liked the octopus for example. But overall, I feel like this is one Pixar film too far on this list (something that others can fairly/unfairly say about Disney, Dreamworks, Ghibli and a couple of other houses tbh).

ASIB should do over 50M.

38th - Ian Malcolm - JEff Goldblum - Jurassic Park

 

We were so concerned about whether he could make the list, we never considered whether he should.

 

 

One of cinema's best and highest grossing horror film's iconic characters. There was a glorious time when Jeff Goldblum walked the Earth and stood supreme above all he surveyed. The character of Ian Malcolm has almost all the good lines in Jurassic Park and he adds an extra level of charm to a film that was already overflowing with quality in ever corner. 

 

Alan Grant finished 180th with the T-Rex herself in 488th. 

 

Ian Malcolm was my #1. Absolutely love him as a character! He is great in JP & LW!

More fun with SotM's. SotM 7 looks like there's a real chance of fiddly numbers changing, so I'm skipping it for now and moving onto...

 

SotM 6 - A tale of 4 blockbusters

 

4 movies: Avengers:IW, Deadpool 2, Solo, and JW:FK.

 

6 numbers: 200m, 150m, 100m, 75m, 50m 25m.

 

You were supposed to pick which movies would have *a* weekend (didn't have to be OW) that was closest to each individual number. The movies were ranked on closeness to each number, so each movie was ranked 1st through 4th for each number. The closer your pick for each number was to being 1st, the more points you got. The farther away, the more points you lost. Big drops between OW and 2nd week resulted in some weird placements.

 

Abstaining was worth 3k, and wasn't a bad choice this time around. Spoiler alert: Solo, on the other hand, was almost always a bad choice, as it was 4th for 3 of the 6 numbers, plus 3rd for another. Also, the fairly popular 75m - DP2, 50m - Solo, 25M - A:IW sequence was pretty damaging, as all 3 of those picks came in 4th.

 

Here are the scores:

That One Guy - 55k (I did this one first, and was like "Wow, I shouldn't have abstained." Turns out, that was the top score)

Empire - 45k

Infernus - 22k
