Thank you for backing me up on this one. It's good to see people giving other evidence as to why my taste in film is superior to most

You're evil.

[Empire]

Those space assholes set the corn on fire!

Exactly

 

When I look at a film and judge it I am judging on a plain most of y'all never even knew existed. Beyond such mortal and insignifant concepts like quality and substance.

Depends on how many films you've seen in the year. 30 is probably a majority so it's not awful. Besides, many people think Godzilla is a decent film (imo it's certainly not terrible).

 

And NATM3 is good. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Transcendence is in my top 30 ....

( I only saw 26 films)

This movie came out of nowhere for me, I had really wanted to see it, but I did not expect to absolutely love it so stinkin much, it was also ironically the last film I watched before starting my countdown (though I did see the Guest after and squeezed it in)  this movie is nothing short of a masterpiece, in every sense of the word. the direction is just unbelievably good, and knows what runs the movie and his name is Jake Gyllenhaal, he gave what I feel is the best performance of his career here, and of the year. he is terrifying and as a psychopathic L.A. crime journalist. who is creepy, funny, and insanely clever. He goes to any length necessary to get what he wants. Nightcrawlr is just a wonder to behold, to see Jakes performance was just amazingly good.  The cinematography is incredible, the sets, the score, everything about this movie is astounding, I was so into it, by the time the movie was over with, I realized I was shaking. If you haven't seen this movie yet do yourself a favor and watch this gift to mankind. 

 

My Grade: A+
Favorite Character: Louis Bloom
Favorite performance: Jake Gyllenhaal
Favorite part: like everything..

true. I guess it depends on how many films you see and which ones (I must confess I haven't seen NATM 3  .. but I wasn't insanely found of the others, they are B movies)

So just wondering, if I did my top 50 films of the decade would anyone be interested in reading it?  now that I did this? I still really want to. but I don't wanna overdo it, I could always hold off on it, maybe till summer. any thoughts?
