  1. Yes I propose that it is cool to like the Whedon Avengers now that we're in the frères Rousseau era.
  2. Stats after #100-61 Yearly breakdown: 2011 (3), 2012 (5), 2013 (5), 2014 (5), 2015 (5), 2016 (5), 2017 (2), 2018 (4), 2019 (6) Directors with multiple films on the list: Sam Mendes (2) Actors with multiple characters on the list: Robert De Niro (3); Brad Pitt (3); Octavia Spencer (3); Cate Blanchett (2); Emily Blunt (2); Kyle Chandler (2); Jessica Chastain (2); Jason Clarke (2); Tom Cruise (2); Idris Elba (2); Chris Evans (2); Brian Tyree Henry (2); John Hurt (2); Brie Larson (2); Jennifer Lawrence (2); Amy Ryan (2)
  3. Four of the lists I received came from people who have never posted anything, they strictly lurk. (Hey guys!) They all had Joker in their top 10. They are out there.
  4. Had a similar experience as a teen - I understood what it was going for, just found it flawed and hard to connect to - but I got a lot more out of it on rewatch a few months ago.
  5. May be premature in this case (and I hope it is) but God how I wish studios and filmmakers would get rid of the notion that "serious"/updated handling of genre material requires making it look as grey as possible.
  6. I found it mostly tepid and mediocre save for Merlant's performance and an occasional inspired image. If we're gonna compare it to Carol and CMBYN I think those are both so much richer it's not even funny.
