Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown

I'm not a fan of the movie, but the Avatar ride at Disney World is incredibly fun.

All I remember about The Road is that afterward I ended up next to Viggo Mortensen (he was there for a Q&A) at the urinals. You know how like 50% of men wash their hands after? Let's just say we kept...

Apparently Laura Harring is an honest-to-goodness countess by (brief) marriage. She was married for two years in the late '80s to the great-great grandson of Otto von Bismarck.

The Dark Knight as a film is kind of a mess and overstuffed. I also think Christopher Nolan is one of the worst action directors around. I still put it on my list at #24 because Heath Ledger's...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown

In the Mood for Love is very good, but not on my list. Like others have said/implied, Memento (my #8) was about where Nolan peaked--I'd like to see him to do more scaled-down films again.

Requiem for a Dream and City of God are two more good films that I did not vote for. I'm not a big fan of Donnie Darko--it felt like a convoluted shaggy dog (or shaggy rabbit) story. Ratatouille was...

Cool, Memories of Murder was my #16. It actually took me a while to warm up to Bong--I was mixed on Snowpiercer and The Host--but Parasite won me over so I was primed for MoM when I watched it last...

Takoma's post on these last two could have been mine. Up is ... fine. But I just don't love it. And Tarantino, like Wes Anderson, started out doing something interesting but gradually fell into...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown

The Incredibles was I think one of my last cuts but I only kept one Pixar on my list. Brad Bird was one of the more entertaining Q&As I've been to--someone asked him to do Edna Mode and he went right...

No votes from me on this pair.

I like Casino Royale. I've never been much of a Bond fan, though, so there's kind of a ceiling there.

I feel like one of Nolan's weaknesses is his tendency to...

Sam Rockwell’s offputtingness (a real word, for sure) is kind of perfect for his role in GalaxyQuest, which yes, I have seen, and of course I love because I am not a monster.
