Re: The KJ snob/elitist club Price should get in IMO
Gump aside, he's clearly watched like more movies than anyone (considering his screenshot game ownage), including lots of obscure ones. There's the Sergio love and everything

Re: The KJ snob/elitist club JURiNG wrote: Well, fuckit!! Top 10 Films Of 20081. Man On Wire (James Marsh) 2. The Edge of Heaven (Fatih Akin) 3. Young@Heart (Stephen Walker) 4.

Paul Thomas Anderson 3. Apichatpong Weerasethakul The rest is between - Fatih Akin / Nuri Bilge Ceylan / Lars von Trier / Alfonso Cuarón / Brad Bird Top 4 Films of All Time 1. The Hours (Stephen Daldry) 2. Once Upon a Time.. This Morning (Bhandit Rittakol) 3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Michel Gondry) 4. Spirited Away (Hayao Miyazaki) 5. Dancer in the Dark (Lars von Trier) Yes yes.. I know.. No Classic(s) (haven't seen many, actually).. I'm trying to watch more.. In order to avoid a potential riot, we'll continue with the applications. I like your top ten for the most part, JURiNG. Obviously the inclusion of both Overrated Summer Blockbuster A and B is disheartening, but at least their placements aren't ludicrously high. Both of your top fives are interesting and unpredictable, and this proves to be both good and bad. I'm not the biggest Von Trier fan, but I guess if you're gonna go with one, go with Dancer in the Dark. I'll be honest, I haven't even heard of three of the directors you listed, which makes me wonder if you simply made them up. Either way, this is most impressive. I haven't seen either of your top two movies, so I'm pretty much clueless there, too. I have no idea where to go with this. Co-chairman, society members... you know what to do.

Re: The KJ snob/elitist club Apichatpong Weerasethakul pretty much automatically puts JURiNG into this club, I think.

Re: The KJ snob/elitist club Also, Fatih Akin is one of the best directors of this decade.
Although apparently he started directing in the 90s :O

Re: The KJ snob/elitist club JURiNG hasn't seen much, but I can't imagine Egypt is the easiest place to find snobby/elitist films. The Hours pick is questionable, but a number 1 film should be given some leeway as it tends to involve a certain amount of nostalgia/irrationality.
I would recommend admission.

Re: The KJ snob/elitist club I'm tempted to approve JURiNG based on the society's reaction thus far, but I think it's appropriate to at least wait for trixster.

Re: The KJ snob/elitist club Just to recap, we are waiting on information from be.redy and Price (and will go from there), and JURiNG is waiting on trixster.
Good job, trixster.
