It's kind of amazing how so many of the laughs are achieved, or at least enhanced, through editing.

Yes, I love this about Edgar Wright's work. This video is a nice layout of what he does.

Dang, I never added my rating for Hot Fuzz. Would've made my list.

Good movie, late cut for me.

Michael Clayton is one that really snuck up on me. Expected it to be standard mediocre Oscar-bait, and then was surprised to find it a terrific film, period.

Haven't seen it again since that first viewing, so not sure how it holds up.

Surprised Clayton was that high. I really liked it, again probably underrated it.

Sorry, I'm the curmudgeon this time around. :D

I am forever grateful for Michael Clayton because Tilda Swinton won her Oscar, but I found it to be a mediocre film that reminded me of some of those procedurals I watch when I can't sleep. Diving Bell was a masterpiece.

YMMV. IMHO. Or maybe as my husband said, I'm just a hater. :) I've told y'all my feelings about George Clooney before. :)

Guy, Jiggy & Cassius each had the top 3 films in their own top 3, but each had it in a different order.

Home of the Weiners. Envy of all.
Prediction: My No. 1 will be the No. 3; my No. 2 will be No.1; and my No. 3 will be the No. 2. On a different day, I would have probably ordered them all differently - all are very close calls for me.

Two straight polls where I am the sheep, which feels odd. Having been both sheep and goat, I think I prefer being a sheep.

For a different thread and because I rarely have time to come around here anymore: True Detective stinks, for all of the excellent reasons identified in the TD thread. My only possible contribution to that thread is that I find it funny that Colin Farrell is worried that the red-headed kid might have been fathered by the Mexican guy (and that this is the lynch pin for everything). Stupid Irishman.

^^^ the above spoilers are a public service. Just reinforces that I made the right decision saying goodbye to that crapfest.

My fondest George Clooney moment is when South Park made fun of his Oscar speech, and coincidentally enough, I am going to use that speech in a podcast.
