I was sick of boring clubs, and I thought exclusion and bitter attitudes could spice up the "club scene" here on cB. So, I decided to make a club for Film Snobs. This is a place for cinephilia, in the best and worst ways. If you like movies, and you think you like good movies, you may want to apply here. But, I'm not going to be easy on you guys, I hate most of your taste. Give me crap, and I'll give it right back. Those of you who don't completely suck will be accepted into our cute little bullshit corner and will then become judge and jury in deciding whether or not future applicants should be allowed into our little circle. So, here is all you have to do, post a Top 20 list. Twenty movies that you think reflect your distinct taste and interest in cinema. If I like it, you're in. If I'm not sure, I may ask you a few questions. If I hate it, I'll ignore you or throw up.
As a club, we will discuss film, recommend work, and pretend we have status when we truly do not. Knowledge is power, f**kers. Exclusive clubs rule. No Nates. [New new new list v.8] 1. Blair Witch Project, The (Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sanchez, 1999) 2. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (David Lynch, 1992) 3. Possession (Andrzej Zulawski, 1981) 4. Videodrome (David Cronenberg, 1983) 5. Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One (William Greaves, 1968) 6. Blue Velvet (David Lynch, 1986) 7. Week End (Jean-Luc Godard, 1967) 8. Hour of the Wolf, The (Ingmar Bergman, 1968) 9. Juliet of the Spirits (Federico Fellini, 1965) 10. Thin Blue Line, The (Errol Morris, 1988) 11. Iron Rose, The (Jean Rollin, 1973) 12. Lickerish Quartet, The (Radley Metzger, 1970) 13. Stalker (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1979) 14. Gummo (Harmony Korine, 1997) 15. Straw Dogs (Sam Peckinpah, 1971) 16. Two-Lane Blacktop (Monte Hellman, 1971) 17. A Nightmare on Elm Street (Wes Craven, 1984) 18. F for Fake (Orson Welles, 1974) 19. Beyond The Valley of the Dolls (Russ Meyer, 1970) 20. Magnifique, Le (Philippe de Broca, 1973) So, who wants to join? Let's see those Top 20 lists! [members] 1. Nate. (NoSex) 2. Rebecca. (Superstitious) 3. Amanda. (Athorpedo) 4. Spencer. (BeCoolHoneyBunny) 5. Winston. (ThunderEvermore) 6. Matt (Djlunatix) |

It took me possibly an hour to gather a list of movies. -_- I guess I'll never be a movie snob. This list is atrocious. Nothing here shows a particular knowledge of cinema let alone a love, interest, or passion in it. When the best thing on your list is The Rocky Horror Picture Show, you know you've done something wrong. Rush Hour 2 over Rush Hour, you can't be serious?! No. So, i posted my list, can i be a member now? You have like four "auto-no's" in this list. This is worse than the previous application. Disgustingly bad. Donnie Darko should never, ever, ever, grace the pages of a Film Snob Club, unless of course it is being belittled as fluffy simpleton tripe masked as sci-fi genius. You have to be pretty gullible, pretty stupid, or pretty ignorant to not realize that Donnie Darko is nothing exceptional. I, personally, don't think it's awful - in fact, I like the movie. However, there are damn good reasons why Donnie Darko shouldn't even find its way into a Top 100 list, let alone a Top 20. Beyond that embarrassment you have X2, The Butterfly Effect, and The Simpsons Movie. Oh my f**king god. Stop watching movies. It's your movie ticket sales that have damned American mainstream cinema to the fields of mediocrity and shit stains (not even good enough to be just plain shit, it has to be the stains, yeah). Hell no. |
