Lean pickings on the BBC today as they don't seem to be offering anything up for comment. They do however have an article about a poll to find the greatest film of the 21st Century (I assume so far, unless the BBC are banning all future movies
). The list is a little high brow for some....
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37164880Also which is the better film in Avatar and say Grace of Monaco? Who decides and on what grounds they are totally different. Both great films but I am surprised Avatar isn't listed, yeah it's basically cowboys and Indians in space, but what a fantastic piece of art it is and important in film making they even invented a new language.
Not saying the films I say here are best ever but none of the films mentioned were even groundbreaking! Come on no finding nemo, no lotr, no Harry Potter, no kill bill,no the Help, Borat, zombieland, black swan, shrek, monsters inc, lincoln lawyer, Dallas Buyers club and so on and so on. I doubt I would have ANY of those films in the list yet alone best of century!
Try and remember critics are more interested in trendy arty stuff than actual enjoyable films.
If ever there was proof that critics are consumed by their own self-importance, then this list is it. A bunch of pompous wasters whose only ability is to sneeringly cast judgement on others' hard work without doing any themselves. They are parasites living safely in the dark dingy shadows of those in the industry on whom they feel qualified to judge.
Mulholland Drive...no 1...REALLY !!
I guess the critics don't watch action adventure movies, or probably consider them common or something. Still you'd have to stretch the imagination a lot to believe this is a list of great films. It's more a list of films your girlfriend made you sit through.
So you've not got the money to keep the Six nations, honour the F1 contract or have any England cricket, but you've set aside funds to conduct pointless surveys which will be out of date by the turn of the year.
Bravo BBC, bravo.
Never heard of any of these films. Maybe I'm just not cultured!
