Because The Wolf of Wall Street hasn't been released yet.

 

I haven't seen 12 Years a Slave or Justin Bieber: Believe yet. This list is far from final.

 

have you actually seen it in 2d? i did the first time i watched it and it felt like something was missing the whole time. watched in 3d a few days later and it really did make a world of difference.

 

Huh. I haven't, actually. I'll probably watch it again soon on a non-3D medium, so I guess I'll see then. I can't imagine feeling like the 3D was "missing" for most of the movie, though. The opening sequence and the later shrapnel scenes were enhanced by it, but there's a lot more to the movie than the action scenes.

 

best stuff i saw:

like someone in love
upstream colors
mud
only god forgives
prisoners (even though some of it was dopey)
place beyond the pines

meh stuff i saw:

catching fire
the world's end
iron man 3
to the wonder

bad stuff i saw:

frances ha
side effects
the gatekeepers

stuff i missed, but wanted to see:

museum hours
no
gravity
captain phillips
machete kills
12 years a slave
the immigrant
spring breakers
ain't them bodies saints
don jon
all is lost

stuff i will try to see:

smaugs
american hustle
the unknown known
wolf on wall street

 

The World's End is the greatest comedy, at least, of the year.

 

probably true. it's just that i was looking at pegg and saying why are you playing the goof and looking at frost and saying why are you playing the straight guy? i appreciate that they are trying to change it up but i just didn't buy it.

 

Really? I bought it just fine.

 

Because he's the king.

 

well that's fantastic, adams of nocturne!

 

maybe "the whole time" was a slight exaggeration but it definitely wasn't just the action scenes. i think the scene with ryan's tears is probably the most glaring example, but there were plenty of other quiet moments that were clearly intended to be in 3d, such as the part where ryan is floating through the space station and various objects are floating through the frame. maybe if i didn't know the movie was shot in 3d it wouldn't have been distracting, but at times it really was. i imagine it will be less so on a small screen though.

 

Fans of The World's End should read this

 

The Wolverine
Catching Fire
Man of Steel
Thor: The Dark World
Monsters University
This is the End
The Conjuring

Probably some others that I have forgotten

Hobbit Part 2 will be on my list after next week

 

It actually wasn't. Which makes all the post-production hackjobs that rolled out in the wake of Avatar somehow much worse.

 

Maybe Adam of Neptune bought it for more than you?

 

In no particular order of relevance, films I enjoyed immensely:

Olympus Has Fallen
This Is The End
The World's End
The Wolverine
Fast & Furious 6
Pain & Gain
The Iceman
Pacific Rim
42
Red 2
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Oldboy
Homefront
Bad Grandpa
Thor: The Dark World
The Hangover III



The "meh"/disappointing category:

Elysium
Man of Steel
The Identity Thief
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
Oz the Great and Powerful
World War Z
Star Trek: Into Darkness



Why the **** did I have any expectations for this turd?:

The Internship



Films that I'll have to drink massive amounts of liquor to forget that I saw them:

Scary Movie V
Only God Forgives

 

i would buy that for a dollar, ender of naptime!

 

I would think you'd need massive amounts of liquor--or at least some other form of brain trauma--to forget any movie you saw this year.

 

In theory, if I were to concentrate hard enough, even when plastered beyond the buzzed stage, I think I could forget about those truly terrible pieces of cinematic garbage without sacrificing the good memories.

 

What if you only want to forget part of a movie?

Movie, you know who you are.

 

whoaaa, I had assumed Gravity was shot in 3D, too. that's really surprising, the 3D was really good.

 

1. Man of Steel - 11/10
2. Thor: The Dark World - 10/10
3. Star Trek: Into Darkness - 10/10
4. Pacific Rim - 9/10
5. World War Z - 9/10
6. 42 - 9/10
7. Olympus Has Fallen - 8/10
8. Iron Man 3 - 7/10
9. A Haunted House - 4/10
10. The Conjuring - 2/10

Still waiting to see The Desolation of Smaug.

 

I'm still yet to be convinced the Desecration of Smog will be any damned good.

 

I have hope that these subplots they've developed will help it support its otherwise undeserved runtime, unlike AUJ which was just thirty minutes too long thanks to needlessly long action/exposition sequences and a fifteen minute prologue.
