Wow.

I finished The New World about an hour ago. There are moments in the film that are painfully, beautifully, stunningly brilliant and poignant and heartbreaking. Words can't describe. I'll have more later after it all sinks in.

And oh my god, that score.

First BE and now New World! God, you have such great taste!

I am so relieved, actually, that you liked it. I think I would have been crushed if you'd returned with some comment about walking out an hour into the voyage.

*passes out some more of that New World Kool-Aid*

Drink up visitors .

LOL pure underground movement

The gushing comments are starting to get pretty darn creepy in this thread...

we truly have started something.

Recommend The New World to everyone you know.

Maybe if we all rank it number 1 in our WOKF ballots it can go somewhere

It's a cult.

Yikes.

You're all cult members.

Malick is hypnotizing everyone into joining a far away planet (i.e. new world) ruled by Pocahontas and Native Americans and colonists and ahhhh.

You mean Rebecca.

Come join us Libs.

If you can't beat us...join us!

I'll wait till March 2nd, that's when it's out here.

That's what I did. Mostly because I know my other pics will go through anyways, and I want to give it some more time so more people get to see it. :-)

I meant WOKJ :$ But yes rank it number 1 :D

I'll be placing it number 1 in every applicable category if only to raise awareness for it.

Downfall should have been at #1! : )

Well, if its the last thing I do, I'm getting it to win best import of the year. ;-) But to answer your question, Downfall wasn't my number five on the passion ranking either.



Got me a brand spankin' new pair of shiny black reeboks and a purple blankie on the way home from work today.

I am wondering what cut of The New World is coming to Germany actually...

It's the a-couple-people-smarter-than-me-loved-this-movie-so-i-have-to-love-it-too effect.

Munich, Million Dollar Baby, and now The New World. Maybe it isn't so strange that the ten or so people here who have seen it have all loved it, but I'm suspicious because the general audience response isn't good. At all.

I might be assuming this, but I'm thinking some of you are afraid to explain yourself to dolce when she asks you why you gave The New World a D+. You know she knows more about cinema than you, and you don't want to be owned. So, you force yourself into liking a movie. I did it with Million Dollar Baby. I'll admit it.

So, maybe I'm wrong in this case, and I'm jumping to some unfair conclusions, in which case - I'm glad you all loved The New World! But if I'm right, try judging future movies individually, without giving in to Sir Mehnert or Queen Galia.

Well said.

Ummm, I doubt that. And when you'll see my grade you'll know quite for sure. The past have shown very obviously that I am not shy about disagreeing with Dolce, hehe.

All I gotta say: bullshit.

So be it if I like movies like Bad Education, Blue, and now The New World. It's got nothing to do with appeasing "queen galia". The only thing she did was encourage me to try something new.

Considering everyone who has seen this movie so far all seem to have different tastes in movie and are NOT clueless about film, I think you can shove your theory elsewhere.

And if you don't mean to be as obnoxious and presumptuous as you sound, sorry...?

Edit- sorry if I come off as too defensive. I just happen to really, really disagree with you

I'm a Sir, YIPPEE!

Oh, and while we're at it- I hate the Crying Game and I'm just trying to suck up to you, mr. owner, since its on your top 100 list!!111

Uh. I'm the only one to date, in this thread, whose consistently voiced opposition to some of the content. Maybe the few people who have seen it so far have actually liked it? I probably gave it the lowest grade (B+) out of everyone here!

I think anyone who said they liked it did, and that probably everyone else just hasn't bothered watching it, since they might have been turned off from the onset. When 50 people watch it (please watch this weekend, thanks) then I think we'll see a few more people like Zingy and Animosity Reigns that didn't like the movie.

You have to realize there's only about 8 people in this thread, two of which I didn't even know enough to coerce, and the other four who have very similar tastes and whom went on recommendations because they have similar tastes. As for Loyal, I have no idea why he liked it, as we actually don't agree on films all that much, and I know after our last scuffle that he's certainly not intimidated by me.

Now, don't listen to Torri, people who saw this movie judged it on their own grounds, and you can too. Preferably this weekend, so that it stays in theatres a li'l bit longer. :-)


If there's one person here who I'm positive judges movies on his own, its you, mister 40YOV and Crash get 5 out of 5. And didn't you respond warmly to New World as well?
