Man, I hated Juno so bad.

And here I was feeling so inferior to your cinematic palette for a moment.

Juno's amazing, and what really blows me away is it doesn't present itself as such.

It's not supposed to be some high arty film.

It took a very tired genre and just tried to make a decent go at it.

Which I think is even harder to do than when you start with something "compelling."

The dialogue is so much better than films like it.

It reminded me of the forst time I watched Daria on MTV.

I was like "THIS is on MTV??"

Anyhoo, Blade Runner's awesome.

All 50 versions of it.

And you can make a case for every one.

The Harrison Ford narration adds a great dimension to it,

but who could believe a directors cut that's actually shorter than the original??

And maybe we didn't need narration in the first place.

Was he a replicant or not?

Does it really matter?

Do I need to stop before I become the uber-geek I always make fun of.

I think, yes, yes, I do.

BTW, slight threadjack, what did you BR fans think of Dark city and Strange Days??

Just curious.

A guy who had my father for film class wrote Dark City... and Strange Days, Kathryn Bigalow... I love what she does.

Even though i watch a shitload of movies I'm totally indifferent to what year they came out so i had to research this one out. I'm just as good with watching a 2007 movie as 1937 movie and I'll interprete "Best" for me to mean "most meaningful" as there are endless streams of dancing bears that were worth sitting through, but i wouldn't suggest them to anyone really.

Most significant films of 2007 that i actually watched:

In The Shadow Of The Moon:

Persepolis:

Although it premiered at Cannes in 2006, it wasn't released nationwide in the USA until Jan of 2007, so I'm picking Pans Labyrinth as the best movie I saw in 2007.

I didn't see very many movies in 2007.

I saw Sweeney Todd, which I thought was an amazing movie. Yes, it had lots of gore, but it had beautiful music, good singers, a great story line, and awesome actors.

I saw it on Christmas Day. Probably not the best day to see it, but whatever.

I wanted to see Juno. Just haven't yet. I have heard wonderful things about it though.

Nobody's inferior or superior in the land of opinions, but my personal opinion about Juno was that it was a good story with great actors and HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, pretentious, awful dialogue that tried way, WAY too hard to be quirky. There were just too many groan-inducing lines for my taste.

I thoroughly enjoyed "No Country For Old Men". I loved "Ex-Drummer" a bit better though.
