No for me. It's fine but nothing about it strikes me as all that exceptional. I agree with Amy, it's worth watching but it's not a must-watch.
-
not trying to sound like an ass, but wouldn't you get all the information you're looking for by just reading the voting thread?
-
I've somehow never heard of this movie, but I do love me some noir. Looking forward to watching this
-
Honestly it's kind of impossible for me to separate the individual parts of the trilogy from the whole. I'm just going to vote for Return of the King and will just pretend that the whole trilogy is in whichever one wins

We could vote on all the Hamlets!
The Lion King FTW

(I know, I know, it's not a direct adaptation, whatever)

Is anyone going to watch both of these before the next podcast? The idea alone is giving me anxiety. I like the trilogy fine, but I haven't revisited it since I watched RotK in theaters (skipped The Hobbit ones altogether).
Not going to have time this week but, every year around Christmas I watch the entire extended version of the trilogy in one day. It's one of my favorite Christmas traditions

This makes no sense as a VS, as LotR is really one movie divided into three parts. Unlike other film series/franchises, the individual films don't really stand on their own.

Could anyone who's seen Sign O The Times let me know if it's worth trying to track it down when I'm 98% sure I'm going to vote for Stop Making Sense anyways?

Agreed

It is interesting, but I'm not sure the comparison is apt since, unlike Rhodes, Trump makes no attempt to hide his contempt for anyone. A few years ago, I can remember thinking Sarah Palin was a good modern-day analogue, though she's (thankfully) no longer a force in American politics.
It's not a perfect 1:1 comparison but I think there are parallels that are hard to ignore

So after our screening tonight there was a post-film discussion with a local TV news reporter and the editor of a local newspaper. One of the few Trump supporters in the audience got super offended after they started comparing Lonesome Rhodes to Trump and walked out so that was interesting
-
Solid no for me. It's not a bad movie, it's fine and I'm glad I saw it, but I don't see anything that elevates it to Canon status
-
I think I would be more interested in a 3 way VS episode with this, Friday the 13th and Halloween. The three big iconic slasher franchises going at it for one spot in the Canon
-
Coincidentally, my local arthouse theater is screening this tonight as part of a series of films concerning the American electoral process. Great timing!

Haven't seen this in forever but I remember loving it at the time. I'm not sure if I would vote it in the canon but I'd love to hear the discussion

Is there a master list of what's in and out? Polls here were adopted a little while after the transition from Wolfpop, so the forums here are missing a lot.

I think the obvious choices are:
Re-Animator
Working Girl
Pennies From Heaven
Cannibal Holocaust

I'm a big Scorsese stan and would vote yes for any of his films, but it's crazy to me how this one gets so overlooked
-
I've been holding off on watching this all summer because I felt like it would be coming. Can't wait to finally watch it
-
Ratatouille or Toy Story 3

Btw, I was wondering if anyone is here is familiar with PNW history and can answer why the accents seemed to lean pretty hard in the New York/Boston realm? John Cusack was also a Yankee fan, apparently, which seemed odd to me but I guess front runners gonna front run?Not sure about the accents but the film is set a year before the Dodgers moved to LA and 2 years before the Giants moved to San Francisco and 13 years before there's an MLB team in Seattle, so him being a Yankee's fan seems to make as much sense as anything else.
