I'm guessing it's gone in lower than you'd hoped it would.



I can't get the film out of my head. The more I think about it, the higher I'm thinking it should be.



Finding out McDonagh once told Connery to fuck off is earning it points as well.

I was saying to Rick I think, that's how I felt afterwards as well - it was the one that I ended up wanting to revisit most urgently because the layers started getting clearer.

 Yeah, I think on rewatch it's going to shoot up. Like I say, I wasn't exactly disappointed in it to begin with, but things keep coming back to me. It's a real shame nobody from the film made the Oscar list.

McDonagh for the screenplay for a start. From the cast, Walken, if only for the delivery of "They don't like to be called fags anymore, I think they prefer homos"or the foul-mouthed, uncouth scumbag. Rockwell wouldn't have been a bad call either.

I agree with all three. Some really impressive performances in the film. I'm hoping to see Late Quartet next month, but it's been rare recently for directors to remember to treat Walken like the very good actor he is.

 Guys and few ladies, sorry for joining late and I haven't seen the rest of the thread, but is it a problem if I put some 2011 films due to release dates and dvd releases? I've also got the problem that some 2012 films got the release here, well, yesterday (like The Master).

It's UK dates I'm afraid Dev. You can use films that haven't been out in the UK as there's some leeway there (it's the same with PA) - but if it was a 2011 UK release it's not eligible.

Which kind of sucks for Malta (soz)

But a list of what fits would be very welcome. You can eg include The Master since it was 2012 for UK even though it wasn't that for you

 OH GOD

Give me some time and I'll compile a list of 20. The 2011 being left out thing better not be a piece of rawlinson-pettiness to exclude A Separation.

Nope, just the normal rules for this poll. We need a time benchmark and that's what we use. But as I said - if something came out where you are that hadn't reached here, often that could be included, and PA's included a few films that haven't had UK releases.

I'm nothing to do with this poll. And I'd be happier excluding The Dark Knight Rises, more people would cry that way.

Elab put this on the first page, might help, it has a list of all the films released in the UK in 2012.

 If it makes you feel better, John Cater and Mirror Mirror have a better chance of being on my list then The Dark Knight Rises.

I did according to my list for 2012. I thought I'd scored it 4 stars but apparently I gave it 4.5 (it's the last 4.5 in the list with MMMM being the first of the 4 star films). I'm probably going to reshuffle the list by the deadline though because I watched both Brave and Martha Marcy... today and, well, there's no way in hell Brave is a better film than MMMM.

That being said though it would only drop one position anyway. I think it's a cracking film. Not up there with Pixar's best but it's easily 2nd tier, putting it alongside the likes of Ratatouille and Monsters Inc for me.

 I quite like Brave, but yeah, no way above MMMM. Although I do hate calling it MMMM, always makes me start singing the Crash Test Dummies.

 I posted before I saw your edit, it's interesting the way the tiers work differently with Pixar for everyone. Monsters would be top tier for me, just below Wall-E and Up. Sign of a strong studio, I think.

Indeed. For me they've got three tiers with the third containing The Incredibles and Cars 2. I think top tier would have Wall-E, the three Toy Story's, Finding Nemo and probably Up. Everything else goes into the 2nd tier. There's not another studio that comes to my mind that has a 2nd tier of work that strong (I really like Cars and A Bug's Life).

I'd say Ghibli, but everything is top tier with them.

I didn't like it that much, particularly Wilson whose sole joke was I'm FAT!!!!!! and then some kind of singing that was more a shouty thing and very unimpressive. But then, fat is the go-to joke nowadays I suppose.

It's what it felt like. Look - fat girl in pool with blokes. Look - fat girl throws herself about to look ridiculous BUT it's cool because she's the one doing it. Look - fat girls calls herself names and references others wrt to that. She kind of made me cringe - one of those fat kids at school that gets desperately funny because they feel it's how to join in. Very sad.

'course if that had been part of the narrative it might have been interesting.


I finally watched the film, and I'd have to disagree completely with that. The defining character trait isn't that she's fat, it's that she's completely unrestrained, the character who says what she thinks others will be thinking. I didn't see many jokes at all based about her weight, just her willingness to be outspoken. Even calling herself Fat Amy isn't making a joke based on her weight, it's based on her acknowledgement that there will be people (Especially in that environment) who will think of her only in that sense. I mean the fat girl in pool thing, that's not even a joke in the film. It's a quick shot of what she's doing when the band is put back together. You're not meant to laugh at her then, it's just her being comfortable with herself, there's not even an attempt at a joke in that scene. If she had been turned into a crying on the inside character I think it would have been awful, a complete betrayal of the character.

The most objectionable part of Pitch Perfect was the high regard it held for the fucking Breakfast Club.
