Re: Vote on the next countdown (Oct. 2023)

I can get the poll up if we get something a little closer to a consensus. This is all pretty freeform right now. It would help if everybody could list their top 3-4 poll options (things you think...

This may be a crucial part of the disagreement one or both of us should've noted earlier. :laugh:

Re: ‘Ideal’ movie running time is 92 minutes, poll claims

For my part, I don't think I've used the term "self-indulgent" much before. Maybe not ever in the context of film criticism, though I'm not sure. But if I were to use it, what I would mean by it is a...

I'd say there's no universal "ought" here. But I would say that a lot of films are obviously made for some intended audience, and it's fine to factor that in. I think film criticism is generally...

I'm not talking about taste. There's a difference between saying you don't like something and saying it's lazy or obnoxious. There's a lot of humor that isn't for me, but which involves evident skill...

No, and often, they don't. There are lots of very clever, well-written jokes. Sometimes based on deep watching of the film itself, which also kind of contradicts some of the criticisms here.

Re: ‘Ideal’ movie running time is 92 minutes, poll claims

Re: self-indulgence and its definition.

First, as was noted, self-indulgence is excessive by definition. But that also means it would be a useless term to use literally. If excess is part of the...

I think we're probably talking past each other. I'm saying that a criticism of self-indulgence is more a commentary on the personality of the creator than the work itself, which seems to be more or...

Re: The Naked Gun remake

Huston's perfect for this.

I've gotten more optimistic with pretty much every bit of casting news.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball - 2024 Season

It's possible within the next month I'll get Yelich, Suzuki, Woo, Musgrove, and Senga off the IL. That's like an entire core of a decent roto team all by itself. Here's hoping.

The former is based on an undefined term ("unseen") which may have many different possible definitions. The latter is a simple factual question: was it on a previous list, yes or no?

Re: Vote on the next countdown (Oct. 2023)

Musicals tied for second last time, so it might not need any intervention. Noir had a lot of pent-up demand, I think.

Heck I'm pretty sure I could have it disallow films automatically, the same way we're able to disallow them on the ballot tool itself for decade lists.
