CollectionsAbout me
I'm 32. I'm a dude as opposed to a dudette. I live in Wisconsin and am basically medium in appearance in most respects. I like film and music and sports quite a bit and generally suspect anyone who doesn't may be a robot. I have two little girls who are ridiculously smart and cute. I've got a great family and a great life. I'm grateful.Lists

Famous people with synesthesia Off the Grid: Outsider Societies in Film (15 movies items)"@ the giraffe I haven't seen the original Wicker Man. Normally, I don't rent older horror but maybe I need to expand my horror horizons. Thanks for the suggestion!"

Best Post-Apocalyptic or Dystopian Films (37 movies items)"@schwarzerabt Glad you liked the collection. And, yep. I'll have to add 12 monkeys. Just forgot about it. Brazil I haven't seen yet, but it's probably time from what I do know about it. "
Top Horror Movies of the 2000's (75 movies items)"@ the giraffe May and Hatchet are both totally on my to see list. The Host looked a little cheesy with the monster (I'm not a huge creature-feature guy), but I keep hearing good things about it so"

A Year of Horror - 2000 - Update V.3 (36 movies items)"I'd highly recommend Shadow of the Vampire as well. I left American Pyscho off a recent list of horror I did as I couldn't decide if it fit the genre description enough, but it's definitely a gre"

Thanks for the vote on the best of list. Hope you have a great weekend!
I'll be posting the A.V. Club's 15 best films of 2010 tonight, so keep an eye out for that.
Hahaha pretty much!
Exactly. Of the films he's made that I've seen, Rushmore is definitely my favorite, probably because it's the easiest to relate to/identify with. We've all wanted someone we couldn't have and had it take some effort before we could accept it as fact. And Schwartzman & Murray are just so awesome throughout the entire film. As for most of the rest, the characters seem sedated, almost lifeless at times, and I guess I just can't connect with them. He definitely has his own unique style, I guess it's just one I can't get into for the most part.
Thanks for the comment on my directors list. It's still a work in progress really, so the ones on the list are the directors whose work I've enjoyed the majority of & that come to mind first. I've enjoyed films from the others you mentioned, but I can tell you Wes Anderson probably won't end up on my list since I've only enjoyed 2 of the 6 films of his I've seen (Rushmore & Fantastic Mr. Fox). I do like Soderbergh as a director, but he's done several movies I think are well-directed but not enjoyable if that makes sense.
As for your lists I thought they were very well done & was happy to vote for them. Looking forward to seeing more soon.
Now off to check out some of your other lists...
Ah... Matthew Barney films really are more art works and some of the Cremaster series was part of an installation work. So, you would be in a gallery with the movie playing and his various sculpture works would be on display. It was part of my effort to see more experimental films. Found some good things and other things that just bored me to tears. Still, always good to branch out occasionally :)
Hum, so... it says that you have 4 lists but I only see three. I swear you had another list that I voted on. Is it set private or something funky?
