james franco is probably already smarter than almost everyone in hollywood. he is apparently some kind of crazy hyperactive autodidactic wizard. not saying this automatically makes him some kind of genius director, but i will be interested to see what he comes up with if he ever does actually direct a movie. |
There has to be at least 5 James Francos. |

| Zack Snyder's such a compelling visionary he can credibly turn owls into human surrogates while resurrecting the moral meaning of narrative. |

Finally something Shrug and Armond can agree on. |

I would like to point out that Wild Grass is my second fave film of the year, and that Vincere is pretty good.
Doesn't change my mind that White is an insincere and immoral attention whore (aka dmx). |

I love the top ten movie lists John Waters does every year for Artforum. Here's his for 2010:
1 Domain (Patric Chiha) My favorite movie of the year. A forty-year-old alcoholic aunt (played by Béatrice Dalle—“Betty Blue” herself!) and her gayish teenage nephew form a perversely close relationship by taking walks together. Lots of walks! So many walks you’ll be left breathless by the sheer elegance of this astonishing little workout.
2 Enter the Void (Gaspar Noé) The best film ever about taking hallucinogenic drugs. Seizure-inducing title credits, cinematography that looks as if it were shot by a Gerhard Richter–influenced kamikaze pilot—even vagina cams. Gaspar, thank you. You’re my sweetheart.
3 Buried (Rodrigo Cortés) The most excruciatingly painful date movie imaginable comes complete with a very smart feel-bad ending. See it with someone you hate.
4 Ricky (François Ozon) A great special-effects movie, though there’s only one effect: a flying baby. If David Lynch and David Cronenberg had sex and one of them magically got pregnant, this film could be their offspring.
5 Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg) Talk about granting access! Are you crazy, Joan?! If Jews went to confession, this film would be a sacrament.
6 Jackass 3D (Jeff Tremaine) A scatological, gay, s/m, borderline snuff movie amazingly embraced by a wide, American blue-collar family audience. Isn’t Steve-O chugging down a glass of sweat collected from the ass-crack of an obese man and then vomiting at you in 3-D the purest moment of raw cinema anarchy this year?
7 Life During Wartime (Todd Solondz) Paul Reubens (without a trace of Pee-Wee) is a suicidal ghost who’s still miserable, and Charlotte Rampling plays a bitter, self-loathing hotel hornball. Both performances will break your heart.
8 Dogtooth (Yorgos Lanthimos) If your parents raised you into your teen years without ever once letting you out of the house and taught you that “outside” means climbing in the trunk of the family car and locking yourself in, are you in mental trouble? Hilarious, original, and very discomfiting, the way movies should be.
9 Carlos (Olivier Assayas) I loved all five-plus hours of this French hymn to celebrity revolutionary–turned-mercenary Carlos the Jackal. He’s so sexy that even militant, left-wing German feminist terrorists give him head and his own hostages ask for his autograph.
10 Mesrine (Parts 1 and 2) (Jean-François Richet) Four and a half more hours about another French criminal–folk hero–stud. Who’s badder? More butch? Cuter nude? Carlos or Jacques Mesrine? Why not a subtitled ten-hour “Freddy vs. Jason” combined sequel about both? In Sensurround, s’il vous plaît. |

Monte Hellman is one of the most under appreciated directors.
Rudolph Wurlitzer is one of the most under appreciated writers (FUN FACT: HIS UNMADE SCREENPLAY INSPIRED DEAD MAN, AND HE PUBLISHED IT INTO A NOVEL IN '08 AND IT'S THE AMERICAN NOVEL OF THE DECADE AND NO ONE GAVE A SHIT AND MONTE HELLMAN HAS MADE HIS FIRST FILM IN OVER 20 YEARS AND NO ONE IS GIVING A SHIT AND AUUHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGGHHGHGHH) |

Ten (sixteen, actually) Reasons I Love Two-Lane Blacktop
01 Because it’s the purest American road movie ever.
02 Because it’s like a drive-in movie directed by a French new wave director.
03 Because the only thing that can get between a boy and his car obsession is a girl, and Laurie Bird perfectly messes up the oneness between the Driver, the Mechanic, and their car.
04 Because Dennis Wilson gives the greatest performance ever . . . by a drummer.
05 Because James Taylor seems like a refugee from a Robert Bresson movie, and has the chiseled looks of Artaud from Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc.
06 Because there was once a god who walked the earth named Warren Oates.
07 Because there’s a continuing controversy over who is the actual lead in this movie. There are different camps. Some say it’s the ’55 Chevy, some say it’s the GTO. But I’m Goat man, I have a GTO—’68.
08 Because it has the most purely cinematic ending in film history.
09 Because it’s like a western. The guys are like old-time gunfighters, ready to outdraw the quickest gun in town. And they don’t talk about the old flames they’ve had, but rather old cars they’ve had.
10 Because Warren Oates has a different cashmere sweater for every occasion. And of course the wet bar in the trunk.
11 Because unlike other films of the era, with the designer alienation of the drug culture and the war protesters, this movie is about the alienation of everybody else, like Robert Frank’s The Americans come alive.
12 Because Warren Oates, as GTO, orders a hamburger and an Alka-Seltzer and says things like “Everything is going too fast and not fast enough.”
13 Because it’s both the last film of the sixties—even though it came out in ’71—and also the first film of the seventies. You know, that great era of “How the hell did they ever get that film made at a studio?/Hollywood would never do that today” type of films.
14 Because engines have never sounded better in a movie.
15 Because these two young men on their trip to nowhere don’t really know how to talk. The Driver doesn’t really converse when he’s behind the wheel, and the Mechanic doesn’t really talk when he’s working on the car. So this is primarily a visual, atmospheric experience. To watch this movie correctly is to become absorbed into it.
16 And, above all else, because Two-Lane Blacktop goes all the way with its idea. And that’s a rare thing in this world: a completely honest movie. |

Keira Knightley is gonna be in it (hopefully Cronenberg's female Viggo Mortensen), so me and Vision are gonna be there opening night. |

They're both in A Dangerous Method, Cronenberg's film on Freud & Jung.
Viggo is gonna retire? |
