  1. @TashaRobinson Don't misunderstand me. I like the movie quite a bit. (And the ending us genius.) But it's not gonna crack the Top 10.
  2. @gemko See, DOGTOOTH would probably be my #1 or #2 had Kino released it in '09 as originally planned. Alas not.
  3. @NoelMu Consensus going to be a problem, clearly. Saw A SERIOUS MAN again, assuming less sleepy viewing would put it over the top. Not quite
  4. @NoelMu How is it not Top 10 material? Father-daughter scenes, Tindersticks score, perfect ending, "Night Shift." #1 in a walk.
  5. @bwolowitz For a critic, they kinda do, because it can be hard to stray from an opinion that exists in the public record.
  6. @gemko Goodness no. We're far too enamored of empty stylistic flourishes in support of thin sociopolitical metaphor around these parts.
  7. @bwolowitz But to extend that further: Shouldn't reviews be postponed, too? I consider both to be records of the time, not set in stone.
  8. And to not be annoyingly coy about it: That film is 25th HOUR.
  9. Proof that items may shift during flight: My favorite film of the oughts only made my honorable mention list the year it came out.
  10. @mattsinger I'm thinking specifically about DDL's "I've abandoned my child" and Big Stein raving about calzones.
  11. It's the performance of the decade, yes, but anyone else listen to Daniel Day-Lewis in TWBB and think Larry David as Steinbrenner?
  12. @seanoneal Yeah, we didn't even get the "also has the usual arts and entertainment listings" treatment. Maybe in 15 years.
  13. @seanoneal What's weird too is Nightline is 14 years late in introducing The Onion to ppl. Story should be about beloved comedy institution.
  14. @Randazzoj Nicely done. (But who's calling The Onion "inane"? Is there a source on that or does Nightline just assume it to be true?)
  15. @paperlung Can't blame Benioff (who's a fine fiction writer). Screenwriters aren't responsible for turgid. That's the director's job.
  16. ZOMG. Our pal Rob Siegel won himself a Gotham award. (To be placed with pride next to his wife's Chicken Bowl award, no doubt.)
  17. @crsryan I know. I had a place all dusted off for it when it looked like Kino was releasing it late '09, but alas no.
  18. Had to look up a review to remind myself I'd seen Suzanne Bier's original BROTHERS. To my surprise, turns out *I'm* the one who reviewed it
  19. @NoelMu Well, I guess if you're Tiger Woods, you're not legally required to do anything. Others might owe the police an explanation, no?
  20. Agreed. This is brilliant. RT @williamfleitch: Seriously, Sally Jenkins is freaking awesome. http://tiny.cc/SNVhB (via @PeteAbe) #tigerwoods
