The Wee Democracy

Top Ten

My Top Ten films of 2003 are:

10: Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - Give them credit for staying strong throughout the trilogy. And for Miranda Otto.

9: Bad Santa - "Hey Opal, c'mere!"
"Nuh uh, Willie! Last time i didn't shit right for a week!"

8: Lost in Translation - opening shot

7: American Splendor - "Where the hell are my keys?"

6: Dirty Pretty Things - "i bit!"

5: Raising Victor Vargas - i lick my lips, too

4: 28 days later... - "see, this is a really shit idea. you know why? cause it's really obviously a shit idea."

3: Lilja 4-Ever - saddest movie ever. EVER

2: Kill Bill, Vol. 1 - "NOW IF ANY OF YOU SONSABITCHES HAS ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY, NOW'S THE FUCKING TIME!"

1: Owning Mahowny - "you're charged with suspicion of theft of over two hundred dollars"


concordantly, my much shorter list of the worst films of 2003 is as follows:

4: a view from the top - i wanted to walk out
3: open range - i wanted to throw shit at the screen. actual shit.
2: how to lose a guy in ten days - i wanted to stab myself in the eyes with a straw. i tried. twice.
1: Mystic River - not so much bad as perhaps the most overrated movie...ever.



feeling: superior, and a little weak
thinking of: corinna, who totally hoodwinked me
song of the day: all mixed up - red house painters

she's always out taking pictures. she's always out making scenes. she's always out the window when it comes to making dreams.
