Fancyarcher Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Lisa's trying way too hard to be as non-mainstream as possible with her list. Edited January 30, 2015 by Fancyarcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 it's funny, because i put some of those shorts on here out of pure enjoyment. isn't that how people rate transformers or whatever as well? entertainment? i was entertained by those shorts. if you don't like them, go eat a fucking sandwich or something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) We're just kidding Lisa. It's your list, do whatever the hell you want with it, putting some shorts on it is fine. It doesn't affect me. Edited January 31, 2015 by Fancyarcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 yeah, i like sandwiches about as much as a person who likes sandwiches, but i like CRAZY CLOWN TIME about as much as a person who prefers CRAZY CLOWN TIME to sandwiches, so i prefer CRAZY CLOWN TIME to sandwiches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmmi Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Cheesburgers are fine too. A cheeseburger is just a subgroup of the sandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 This particular cheeseburger has a quarter of half a bun, uses shredded broiled yak meat for the burger, and has a dollop of pesto-goat cheese aioli instead of cheese. But it's definitely on the Best Cheeseburgers of the half decade. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 There's a 6 minute video of a man staring at a wall. He never moves, nor does the camera. It's in black and white and has no sound. His back is to the camera. It made me feel invigorated. Top 20 for sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 34. CHRONICLE 2012 JOSH TRANK recent rewatch: another 2012 film that explores the alpha-beta dynamic of male socialisation. the sci-fi aspects are suitably kept in the background, the CGI is economical, and many of the main trio's conversations and mannerisms are greatly reminiscent of the nerdboy 'friends' i used to circle with. not great though: some of the 'thematic' dialogue is a bit obvious, and the found footage aesthetic will always have pros and cons. 65 points 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 33. VOLCANO 2011 RÚNAR RÚNARSSON quiet and downbeat story of mortality that has clear parallels to AMOUR. in fact, even though this sort of concept doesn't require an awful lot of imagination, it would seem enormously surprising that there wasn't some correspondence between the two filmmakers given how similar in close details at least two key scenes are. a very sad film, but i suppose some familiarity with that film, released only one year later, somewhat lessens the emotional impact. 65 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Well, the list did start at 5.8 out of 10, and that's basically only "slightly above mediocre". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
