Ok I've only been processing a few minutes… but Kill Bill at number 7? Seriously? Really?
I expected RotK or FotR but not Two Towers. I kinda like it though.
My thoughts…
I largely find this a fine and respectable list. But I do have a few quibbles with it here and there.
I can name a ton of Robin Williams films that are not only tolerable, but actually quite good. Dead Poet's Society, Good Morning Vietnam, Jumanji (seriously, it's good), Good Will Hunting, Death to Smoothy, One Hour Photo… But his crappy movies seriously negate anything positive he's ever done.
I'd rather let lobsters claw my ears for an hour than listen to an Aerosmith album, particularly if its from the "Cryin'" era of Aerosmith "music."
Thank God…
…that Old Dogs bombed. It looked absolutely atrocious. Let's just hope it dies a quick death in theaters, is quietly released onto dvd with little fanfare, and then quickly forgotten about. Remember when Travolta and Williams used to make good, watchable films? What the fuck happened?
Apparently Michael Oher is really disappointed with the actor portraying him in the film. Most of the Ravens team as well as its owner haven't even seen the movie yet.
I recently heard the next installment is coming in *JUNE* too… that's like 7 months from now. So expect the madness to continue for at least the better part of a year.
Thank you…
…for including New Frontier. It was indeed quite excellent. It's unfortunate that the average reader needs a Ph.D. in DC Comics to enjoy it to its fullest though. Still, despite the flaws it's one of the most engaging and satisfying comics I've ever read.
Blindside is also based on a true story. Take that for what it's worth.
It's ten dollars in Naperville (i.e. Richpeople-land), IL. Where my parents live, it's about $6.75.
I don't know. It's troubling that Half-Life 2 isn't on this list at all. That game is revoluationary. Portal, Team Fortress 2, Left For dead… these games wouldn't exist without the revolutionary Source engine introduced in Half-Life 2.
Saying one FF game has a better story than another is like saying losing your leg is preferable to losing your arm. Neither situation is ideal in the long run. FF "stories" have been atrocious since FFIX.
NFL 2k1 was a phenomenal sports game. One of the best sports games I've ever played.
If there's no way they should have done it, then they just shouldn't have done it. I feel like I could write up an article on the 15 best video games of the decade and it would not only be more accurate, but also more professional.
No time to read through this…
…but Half-Life 2 not making this list? For shame, AV Club.
The problem I have with "racism" is that it's SO easy to label someone a racist, and so hard to take away that stigma once you put it on a person. It's akin to calling someone a Nazi or a child-molester. It's almost a defacto argument anymore. "Oh yeah, well you're a RACIST!" It's supposed to be a powerful word that…
Fair enough.
I love this movie
But I love Evil Dead II, especially the ending, a whole lot more. Still though, this is a fun movie. I've watched this with my brothers a thousand times. it's definitely a great "let's waste an hour and a half" type of movie.
