  1. @AndrewDignan It's 3/day so I do one when I wake up, one right before I go to sleep and the thjird usually around dinnertime.
  2. #88: 3-iron (2004, Kim Ki-duk). Begins as a beguiling enough tale told with superb visual economy, turns into something truly bizarre.
  3. @ballywick As an actress, very much so. As a singer, not so much, no.
  4. Not that anyone cares, but I just realized I screwed up my list. Overlooked Volver (2006, Pedro Almodóvar). Insert at #97. Sorry CHOPPER.
  5. I think I need to generate one of these TweetClouds just to see how big "retarded" turns out to be.
  6. Imagine this approach taken to, say, PJ Harvey. As is, it's a bit like watching a gorgeous doc of Ludacris preparing for 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS.
  7. Ne change rien ('09 Costa): 63. I absolutely LOVE the idea of this film, but can't for the life of me understand why Balibar is its subject.
  8. #89: BirdWatchers (2008, Marco Bechis). Probably the least-seen film on my list. Remarkably non-patronizing depiction of an "alien" culture.
  9. Although I was listening to it in a small CD store. (Quake literally knocked me to ground.) Maybe they had an advance copy 4 listening only.
  10. Hmm. 1989 Loma Prieta quake was on 17 Oct. Wiki says STORM FRONT released 31 Oct 89. Yet I'm 100% sure I was listening to it when quake hit.
  11. @rcjohnso I don't remember any awesomeness in STORM FRONT. And I'm a completely unapologetic Billy Joel fan for the most part.
  12. #90: Eureka (2000, Shinji Aoyama). Visually spectacular, awesomely disorienting portrait of collective catharsis. What happened to this guy?
  13. I remember OPEN HEARTS because of the always-awesome Paprika Steen and I remember AFTER THE WEDDING because ugh, but BROTHERS went poof.
  14. Surprised—nay, shocked—to discover that not only did I see the original Danish version of BROTHERS, I almost kinda sorta liked it. (57)
  15. @vjmorton Here in America we call that film HATE, Frenchie.
  16. #91: Road to Perdition (2002, Sam Mendes). The closest M. has come to (cine-)excellence, precisely because it's just an exercise in style.
  17. @bentclouds Even if it were, who's overrating that other than me?
  18. Considering rewatching my #91 film just to make sure I really still like it that much. It'll be the first one to make most people say WTF?
  19. @AlejandroAdams Sure. I just didn't care for his choice to revert to tactile abstraction and turn that long conversation into a fulcrum.
  20. @AlejandroAdams I didn't especially like HUNGER, though I plan to watch it again. Third "act" (the actual hunger strike) killed it for me.
