I'm Canadian but that's a really shitty prestige crop to have to pick from. Haggis, Mehta, Jewison and Egoyan are all basically hacks at this point and James Cameron spends too much time underwater to be considered a citizen of anywhere.

That shit is so ten minutes ago.

I'm sure someday he'll win critical acclaim for a performance as Judge Holden, he certainly looks the part.

Tarkovsky is one of my favorite filmmakers but this is the only one of his I'll concede to feeling interminable.

Damn, first Ebert goes and now this column ends. Those were my two favorite sources of reading about film online. I don't believe in nothing no more, I'm going to law school.

Actually he was the grown up Lord Bullingdon in Barry Lyndon.

AVC needs advertising hits.

Those HAVE NOT been in asses!

Well they pretty much recycled his role from that film, might as well just recycle his awards speech.

I can dance to Autechre, that's almost the same.

Good thing that was the last time a mediocre film spawned a relentless slew of copycats.

They sort of do this, it's the time movies from the previous year get an extended push following awards season.

They work in the field but actual cinematographers and production designers are outnumbered by aged hacks. Welcome to hollywood.

I was really expecting either the first or second movie to end with the maniac sewing himself to the tail end of the centipede.

Hopefully Gus Van Sant will decide to make something good after this. I know he does a little bit of everything but he's due for one of his left field great films by now.

This list lacks Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice.

I don't know if that would work, Malick is pretty huge on voice over and McCarthy doesn't expand upon his characters' internal processes at all, they would be somewhat antithetical in their approach.
