It's discussions like this that make me a bit sad I'm not some deep thinker that sees the underlying meaning of a film. I mean that post on Inglorious Bastards kind of blew my mind. It's discussions like this that also make me glad I'm not some deep thinker that sees underlying meanings of a film because I can just enjoy them for entertainment. I was entertained by Hateful 8. It will not be one of my favorite movies but it was ok.

Well, for what it's worth, I get giddy like a child talking about Star Wars when I talk about Inglourious Basterds, so I'm not sitting in an overstuffed armchair in a tweed blazer, exactly.

But you do have a globe bar.

I think IB and Drive are my favorite movies of the last decade or so. And that's despite the fact that 40% of Basterds misses for me (pts 3,5). The basement and the farmhouse have to be two of the tightest, suspenseful dialogue scenes of all time. The highs in Tarantino films are as good as it gets.

I just watched The Martian. I hate disco like everyone else (Waterloo is great), but it worked so well against that backdrop. And kudos for playing Starman instead of Life on Mars.

It was a little disappointing that Donald Glover came up with the Apollo 13 move after all of that.
It's probably in the source material, but I was really hoping that wouldn't be the big idea.

These plus Spring Breakers and Under the Skin for me. There Will Be Blood and The Tree of Life right up there as well.

I re-watched Tree of Life the other day, distraction-free and stuff. For some reason it didn't click the first time. Between that and The Fountain... more metaphysical dramas, please.

Fury Road, Drive, Pineapple Express, Trolljegeren, and Black Dynamite are my top 5 of the last 10 years. But have particular tastes. So my 'favorites' I certainly wouldn't consider the best movies made by any means. I could watch any of those movies at any time, to show a friend, etc, and be completely fine re-watching any number of times.

Oh and my runner-up is Tron Legacy, because [expletive] you that movie is a [expletive] fantastic early 80s movie with a 180 million dollar budget.
