Yeah, In Rainbows is easily my favorite of all their material. "All I Need," "Weird Fishes," "Bodysnatchers," "Jigsaw Falling Into Place," all great. It's one of the best SOUNDING albums of all time, too.

More specifically, Patrick Stewart makes an appearance in which all of his blood flies out of his face and materializes into a gooey red naked vampire lady.

Lifeforce is legitimately awesome. There are several showstopping scenes in there that you will never forget. I rank it very highly among my favorite horror/sci-fi movies just cause it's so much fun.

I don't remember anyone thinking it would be a success, I just remember tons of laughing at the stupid blue people in the trailers and thinking it looked like a big-budget version of Delgo.

I'm guessing that "Obi Wan dies" could have been unexpected cause he's a major character? I guess that's not a plot twist either and fit with everything the film was drawing from, though.

I did enjoy the ending as an example of exactly what you describe, although it was all undermined by the fact there wasn't a single actual female in the film, and thus it might have been simply saying "robots that resemble beautiful women could really easily exploit male human sexuality."

Probably those critics that jizzed all over it forgot about it by this point in the year cause it came out at the beginning, and everyone knows all the important pictures come out at the end of the year :D Mad Max and Inside Out are exceptions cause they were big event movies and thus everyone still talks about them.

What are some examples of GOOD children's movies, in your opinion? I'm sure this isn't what you actually mean, but your posts here kind of read like "anything with any complexity to it makes for bad children's entertainment since all they really want to see are cute characters and slapstick, and thus the Ice Age…

That's exactly how I feel, I don't get it. If he was doing huge vistas ala Lawrence of Arabia I'd understand, but why waste it on what's apparently mostly just a gray, dreary one-set film?! I like the idea of reviving 70mm, but I don't see how it's going to catch on if it's not used on spectacle (like the original…

I can see all that in The Exorcist, but I guess I don't equate any of that with scariness. I find it horrific, but none of it scares me, it's just a heightened portrayal of emotions that you'd often find in a serious drama explored in a way that can only be done through the fantastic.

Yeah, I wanted to see someone take that GIF of Rocky grabbing Drago's picture off the mirror and silently crumpling it up while staring fiercely into the mirror and photoshop a picture of this reviewer over the photo of Drago.

Insightful!

It shuts you off to many of the best examples of horror films, so, yeah. :/ I guess it also shuts you off to the gigantic subgenre of ones that are simply supposed to be disgusting, though, so that's a positive. You can't really equate different genre's intents in that way - do you expect sci-fi films to be…

Glad to see Clouds of Sils Maria on the overrated list. I liked it more than that little review, but I find the epilogue virtually indefensible. The film should have ended in the mountains, and everything after felt completely pointless and dragged the film down severely. And yes, that movie-within-a-movie was a…

I am somewhat confused by dismissal of horror films because they're not scary. Is that really the metric people use to judge the quality of them? Most of my favorites aren't even remotely scary, and that's not a problem in any way since it wasn't the intention (Let the Right One In, The Fly '86, The Exorcist, Ginger…

Direction is the one I think that it deserves the most, but I bet it's going to be another case where a static drama with far less directional skill necessary will win that award.

If Avatar and Inception did, I don't see it as unlikely at all. Especially when the lists the last couple years seem to be just padding out the numbers in some cases (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, anyone?).

I was completely unimpressed by the Babadook and loved It Follows. I don't understand any of the love for the former, the only scary thing about the movie to me was the idea of having a child that acted like that. I guess people that haven't played Warcraft 2 won't be taken out of it by the recycled dragon sound…

I think seeing it with extremely loud sound is a big part of its effectiveness. In the theater my hair was raised by the score in a few key scenes, and I came out thinking it was possibly the most effective horror soundtrack I'd ever heard since Halloween '78. It was used as horrific tone instead of the standard…

I was very disappointed with Blunt getting so sidelined in the last 1/3 of the film, but it seems like most of the positive reviews (this list included) view that as a strength. It didn't really work for me dramatically, but that traffic jam scene was a stunner. I'll have to rewatch it when it comes out on DVD to…
