[FLABREZU]

i will engage anyone in chessboxing at any time

also i gave MULTIPLE fassbinder movies 0.5 and also multiple 4.5 so do NOT attempt to give me your pauline at the beach thesis

[greennui]

I think I've only seen a handful films in the last few years that I'd give a 1 star rating or lower. A film has to do a lot for me to genuinely hate it, I guess.

Oh no, I missed some rows at the bottom. It's towards the bottom, but there are a few that rank worse. Let me fix this...

Great to feature on both extremes. I'm also a Green Ray 5 star-er but I guess I haven't rated it on LB.
Umbugbene, that Wake in Fright rating is wack. Is it because of the kangaroo hunt?

and i wonder if i've seen this...

[Umbugbene]

Umbugbene, that Wake in Fright rating is wack. Is it because of the kangaroo hunt?

Yes. And the octopus scene is why I gave Oldboy 0.5. I wasn't crazy about either film to begin with, but the brutal kangaroo slaughter and the octopus torture knocked them to zero.

A couple of my favorite films (Andrei Rublev and Weekend) are marred by animal killings, and I wish they weren't. Tarkovsky used a horse that was already condemned to death in a factory, but that's no excuse.

[Umbugbene]

One stat I've always been interested in is the widest spread anyone gives to a single director. How often does a particular "champ" give 5.0 and 0.5 to different films by the same director? I suppose people could answer that for themselves without Kanafani running a complicated query. For me the widest spread is Michael Curtiz, from Casablanca (5.0) to White Christmas (0.5). Maybe worth opening a new thread?

[Curtis, baby]

I got three such folks

Godard
5=contempt, vivre sa vie, origins of the 21st century
0.5=every man for himself

Akerman
5=Jeanne dielman, news from home
0.5=hotel Monterey

Kren
5=31/75 Asylum
0.5=16/67 September 20th

Considering I've barely given over 100 movies 5/5, this seems like a lot...


Miike: The Bird People in China (5/5) and Audition (0.5/5)
Herzog: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (5/5) and Fata Morgana (0.5/5)
Hellman: Two-Lane Blacktop (5/5) and Road to Nowhere (0.5/5)
Ōshima: A Treatise on Japanese Bawdy Songs (5/5) and In the Realm of the Senses (0.5/5)
Jakubisko: The Drummer for the Red Cross (5/5) and Birdies, Orphans, and Fools (0.5/5)

I just double checked this... gotta be a mistake on my end. I don't particularly care for Monsieur Verdoux... but I can't imagine earnestly giving it a half star.
