I was asking Casey (AlpineValley804) if he intentionally left Aronofsky off his list.

    Yea, not this generation, but they will continue making great films for another 20 years. At least the men will. Unfortunately, girls have a short shelf-life in the biz.

    lol, I didn't realize. Casey is still a very good actor and director.
    See "Ain't Them Boys Saints" and "The Assassination of Jesse James", et. al.

    Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992)

    Revisited the Burton Batman films for the first time in years and I think it's interesting the different things you notice when you watch something at different ages. It's been 5-6 years since I screen Batman '89 and much longer for BR.

    I'll continue to regard Batman '89 as one of the best big-screen offerings in the franchise. It was one of the those films I watched over and over as a kid, so I thought I knew it well, but with age and maturity, I made connections I never have before. It's story is clear and the characters motivations are understandable. I like that it basically posits The Joker and Batman as two people shaped by the same moment and that you're seeing sort of the climax of them being on a collision course over the course of their lives. We're steeped in the mythology of the Wayne parental murder as the jumping off point for Bruce now, but discovering it the way Vicki does in the film is a good choice. It's almost an origin story.

    The age and maturity gave me a little different perspective on BR, which I'd remembered as being on par with the first one. I think there's a lot of things it does well, but I'm unclear what Bruce/Batman's story is in the film. With the Joker dead, he's on call to help Gotham, so I guess that's his motivation, but the film doesn't really address that. (The best theme I've got is that he doesn't have to be someone else to find love.) His motivations are much less clear than Batman '89, when it was resolution with The Joker. Here, he's the fourth-most interesting character after Catwoman, Penguin and Max Schreck. He's decided to keep being the Bat, but that's taken as read and makes this feel like it's The Penguin's show. Much more time feels like it's spent on DeVito's character and his development/deviousness than whatever Wayne is thinking/feeling in this film other than "Durr I'm Batman! Gots ta catch the bad guise!" Ultimately, I think that hurts the story because while a good villain makes a lot of difference, it is ultimately Wayne/Batman's story, not the villains.

    Also, I never noticed it before, but Penguin's one liners approach Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze territory in terms of how unrelenting they are. Lastly, I feel like the film became the template for the big screen tendency of having multiple villains in a single superhero film.

Requiem is definitely good, but I have no desire to watch it again, and Pi just wasn't my cup of tea at all. Noah and The Fountain I haven't yet seen.

    To the others, on the topic of Ben Affleck, that comment was actually a reference to Mr. Show and was in jest. I like him just fine as an actor (not an absolute fave, but I have never really been on the Affleck hate train either).

    Pi is so awesome.


    Noah... idk. I need to watch it again. Felt like a swing and a miss though.


    Aronofsky and PT are 1 and 2 for me, and both let me down with their latest.


    Hopefully Inherent Vice gets PT back on track.

    I probably really should give Pi another go. It is in my DVD collection, it was given to me as a gift without I ever seeing it.

    I'm also hoping Inherent Vice is awesome. The Master really left me cold.

    First time I saw Pi was like 2001. It was in an English class called Computers and Writing. Just took it because my degree plan required two "substantial writing component" classes. This is before I realized that every single upper division philosophy class would have a substantial writing component. Anyway. Cool class, and the prof showed it one day. Had no idea who Aronofsky was but I did hear someone mention that Pi was by the guy who did Requiem.

    As an aside, The Coen Brothers as an overall entity would be one of my favorite of current working directors when weighing in their entire body of work, but don't make this list based on their recent output. Llewyn Davis was such a pointless turd, IMO and I felt like that was the icing on the cake of their recent at-best mediocrity.

    Man, has there been a fall like the Coen Brothers in movie history?


    They are so bad now. It's unbelievable.

    Since O Brother, which was 2000, they haven't made a single GREAT movie. But they've made 4 BAD movies. Then there's just the pile of mediocrity that is the rest.

    both NCFOM and True Grit were pretty damn good. i guess you could make the case that they weren't GREAT, but surely neither was bad nor mediocre.
