Last year, I didn't even crack 300. We'll do better this year, promise.
Slashes, of course, mean repeat viewings. But hey! Backwards slashes mean a re-viewing of a film previously left uncompleted due to walkout, sleep, etc. So that's new!
O NO you 'idn't... give a higher letter grade to Dominik's Ass. than Clair's Liberte!
Hey, Dominik has a nice Ass., what can I say.
Actually, it took a bit for the Clair to win me over -- the first twenty minutes or so seemed cut from the same cloth as Le Million, a film a disliked intensely. Jesse James pretty much had me from the get-go.
Re: the White Elephant Blogathon... wait until you see what I got. I'll say no more.
Synecdoche, New York (2008, Charlie Kaufman) [A-]
I despise almost everything Charlie Kaufman's made so far, so when people are saying this movie is him being "indulgent" I not only wince but shudder at the thought.
I'm predicting a D/D+ for me. We'll see.
I'm predicting D-, mainly because part of me thinks the film might be nothing more than self-absorbed wankery. The rest of me thinks it's an ambitious, dizzying near-masterpiece wrapped in self-absorbed wankery.
And the final answer is...B-.
