I feel like I wasn't paying close enough attention to Knives Out and I need to watch it again
Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I feel like I wasn't paying close enough attention to Knives Out and I need to watch it again
Note: It is in no way necessary to have seen Knives Out before watching Glass Onion.
ah good thank-you megan
Glass Onion was great. And it always makes me think of that post by an Aussie on Tumblr saying, "Whatever Texas accent Daniel Craig is doing..." and then their next post saying, "Multiple people have now explained Foghorn Leghorn to me."

Interesting. I don't know how to think about that. All those ties are making me dizzy, for one thing. And I have seen 20% of these for another.
Naturally I've already updated my spreadsheet, but, really, I need to see what the Top 250 are to do a fair comparison with 2012.
I still have to see 30 of the Top 100 (I'm watching Jeanne Dielman now AIFG) but overall I think the new inclusions (and rises) are mostly justifiable and have no real issues with films that dropped off (or, more likely, dropped down to the rest of the Top 250), even if some of them were personal faves.
The Top 250 and the personal lists will be released on the BFI website in January, apparently.
I know a few critics of whose picks none made the Top 100, so the extended lists should be really interesting.
The Top 250 and the personal lists will be released on the BFI website in January, apparently.
Thank you! I haven't been able to find this info anywhere.
fascinating! I love how international that list is
