Cap

I am locking this for like an hour for everyone to cool off. ETA: And we are back

@titanic2187 The Matrix series is directed by two women (with Lana just back for the forth). Full stop. Discussion over. Thank you. And if you continue this discussion, I’m going to give you two warning points for derailing the thread.

It’s actually interesting timing that you just said that. Because I was talking with @Plain Old Tele about the lack of older films making the list, and how once Chas finishes his Best Foreign Film list (and If not one else is in the list queue), I should run a: Top 50 Pre-Star Wars Movies BOT Wants You To Watch NOW. So instead of “ranking” these are the best movies, it’d be framing it as a community recommendation list. Maybe you think people should watch it because it is influential/culturally significant? Maybe it has the best acting performance of all time? Maybe Do you wanna rec an international film that isn’t directed by Kurosawa? Hell, maybe it’s Plan 9 From Outer Space and you should watch the “worse film of all time”? Maybe it’s just cause Gene Kelly’s ass was amazing and you should stare at it for two hours? (That was my thought on Sunday night as I was watching an American in Paris and thinking to myself this is just not my favorite of his, but got look at him moooooove.) And pre-Star Wars do you ask, Because that was really a monumental shift between classic/studio system moviemaking, and modern filmmaking of what we have today. Plus the movies from the 1980s and 1990s tend to always have a good representation on any of the list that we tend do.

oh I’m shameless I’ll go. My experience with two towers is that I remember my friend and I went to see it on opening weekend. Or maybe we went like during the week. All I know is that she worked at the movie theater so I think we got in for like a discount. And I remember thinking to myself this is actually really good. The pace is much better than the first one. I’m very excited. This is really great. So I leaned over to her, And I was like hey how much longer do we have? And she just blinked at me about two times, before saying: Cap, It’s only been 45 minutes. And I think I sulked for the rest of the movie. Moral of the story, the Lord of the rings are fine, but god they’re so fucking long.

I thought the entire fourth movie recontextualized Trinity‘s importance in the first three films, and gave her more agency and more weight. So while it might not have been the lightning in the bottle of the first movie, I think the fourth one is a solid addition to the series. And it’s not exactly like part two and part three are as perfect as the first one

Jack and Rose won our “69 Greatest Ships of All Time” List back in February!! And I think this is a good time to alert folks that we just created a Sub Forum for Archive lists. I’m slowly putting all of the list we’ve done over the years into that forum! So hopefully it will make it easier to find stuff later on.

Grease this, Grease that. Who cares. May you stay forever Magic my Xanadu Queen:

If it makes you feel any better he cut the first half of my BATB review about how "this movie has nothing to do with Stockholm Syndrome" after posting a critics review about how "this movie is Stockholm Syndrome" Panda gonna Panda.

This group is a rollcoaster of emotions.

I assume the video instantly ended because the person filming just evaporated into dust

The Apartment jumping from 78 to 23 is proof we need to NOT go to the old scoring system.

It’s like 90° up here, and it feels like 100, and that actually might be the best reason for me to go see it. I’ll gladly take 2 1/2 hours with air-conditioning. 😂 Although I do really agree with you. I was pretty excited to take my mom to see it, and then Numbers was like it’s just OK. And now I’m like Tuesday discount? Let’s go on Tuesday discount day!!

Time to out yourself Ehrlich:

No complaints here!

lololol i hope it’s Paul Dini.

Twitter is living right now:

The big Lebowski always missing feels like tradition at this point. Princess bride though? Inconceivable.

I will gladly accept this ranking/position. Everyone knows that 42 is the answer to the universe. So I guess the question was, “where does the greatest movie of all time rank on BOT’s 2022 top 100 list?”

Jokes on you. I can do this all day. Although I shouldn’t. I probably should take a gummy and go to bed. I got to be up at like 9 o’clock in the morning 🤔😂

Too logical!

The Last Jedi jumping from 99 to 43 is proof we need to go back to the old scoring system.

@Porthos is quoting Scott M. WBD truly has fucked up. We're ALL clearly losing it.

Considering the reports about Zaslav I believe it!!!!! 😡😡😡😡

Someone should tell them that Captain America is already on screen. May 3, 2024 to quote Dr Strangelove:

did he actually say this?!?
