I feel like this being a movie would make it a little bit more tolerable, just showing all of the little 80's references as sort of easter eggs as opposed to the book's method of "I own a DeLorean which was a car made into a time travelling machine in the popular film series Back to the Future which starred Michael J.

I looked into it after it got recommended to me a few times, but from what I've seen it reads less like a story and more like a written account of someone roughly elbowing your ribs going "REMEMBER [THING]? [THING] IS GREAT ISNT IT?" with a lot of glorious Nippon worship and women existing purely to fall for the nice

I'm partial to the Joe Kelly run, which has a great balance of pathos and genuinely funny writing. It sort of sets up the comedy aspect, before it went completely sideways.

I think pin-up tattoos are as played as the next person but the pictures of Denise and Lucy are ridiculously tempting.

I don't mean Boyhood in of itself, the general tone for the movies chosen just seems to universally be "slow, contemplative and personal." I'm genuinely curious as to whether a movie can overdo those qualities to the point that it becomes worse for it.

I avoided watching GotG until long after it had been released to second run theaters, and I was determined to hate it after the massive amount of fanboy spasming I'd heard, but I still enjoyed it. I don't know if it would make my own personal favorite list, but I get it.

The most depressing part of this list is that most of us are probably going to end up agreeing with more of the Oscar wins. That shouldn't happen.

There's an interesting discussion to be made here about when something crosses the line from being artistically significant into being self-indulgent and boring. Nothing I've read about Boyhood makes it sound appealing.
