Vote for any and all movies you would be interested in seeing for the next week (~Mar. 26th, NA). The movie with the most overall votes wins. You may rank your votes from most preferred to least (do not rank movies you would not vote for) so I don't have to @ you back in case of a tie. If you do not intend to vote and are fine with whatever wins, please reply with "No Vote" so there is as little of a waiting period as possible. If you list multiple movies in your vote but you are not ranking them, please include "Not Ranked" along with your vote (I will assume they are ranked otherwise). Please vote by Friday, Mar. 26th, 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PM PST

Murder by Death - 5/10
You know, I was expecting a lot worse but outside of the obvious I didn't think it was all that bad. Not sure if being unfamiliar with the detectives in the movie for the most part, beyond recognizing their names, made for a better movie or a worse one. --- Huh? Finger!? What the hell? ...

When the Wind Blows (1986)
Horus, Prince of the Sun (1968) It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012) Perfect Blue (1997) I've seen Perfect Blue, think I gave it a 9/10 on MAL, but that was only a year or so ago so I'll go ahead and put it on the bottom of the list. I really like it but would prefer something new to me. Waking Life, or at least the trailer I watched on youtube, was really fucking with my eyes. Flashing lights have kind of bothered me for a few years now, haven't seen an optometrist in years so not sure if there's something going on or it's just "You're getting older and you stare at screens all day long". --- Huh?

question for everyone: do you have any examples of movies you significantly changed your mind about after revisiting them after a long time? i think the usual question is something like "what's a movie you loved in your childhood but hated as an adult?" but that drastic of a change is hard for me to imagine (although do share if you have something that fits!)
i just looked over the list of movies i've seen and pretty much every movie i really liked as a kid, i pretty much still like now (The Lion King, Toy Story, MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS) biggest change of mind i've had about a movie is probably still Jennifer's Body but that's still only like a 2 point change ...

I loved horror movies growing up, but watching a lot of the older Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street movies these days feels like a chore. The same goes for a lot of the old Giant Bug/Creature genre of movies because the monsters are so hilariously fake I can't enjoy them. I used to watch them with my Dad growing up and I can even remember back then him laughing about how bad they looked. I've avoided rewatching Jason and the Argonauts for this very reason, it was one of my favorite movies as a kid but I'm certain I won't feel the same now so I don't want to bother screwing up a good thing.
Really struggling with the opposite, can't think of any movies I disliked at first but ended up enjoying after watching again later, mostly because if I don't like something the first time around it's probably going to be a very rare exception that I bother watching it a second time. --- Huh?

Can't think of any other examples similar to this. i had a similar reaction to Burn After Reading but i didn't include it because the difference between watches wasn't as huge for me. i was never actually into Pocahontas as a kid though so it doesn't really apply for me. i think my Disney rotation was really just Lion King - Robin Hood - Winnie the Pooh Snake5555555555 posted...

Oh I knew about the comparisons but had no idea Aronofsky had actually bought the rights. you know what, i'm actually going to have to take that back and add "allegedly" for now because while i have heard that bit before, i just tried to find a source for that claim and could not find anything besides the imdb trivia (which is not sourced, how the fuck is that allowed). every article/page that talks about it does not source the claim that he actually bought the rights and it just leads back to the same unsourced claims. now i wonder if this is another case like The Lion King and Kimba where unsubstantiated claims just get repeated throughout the internet and everyone just takes it as fact. so after a little more searching this is what i found: http://konstone.s-kon.net/modules/notebook/archives/60 Kon's blog where he mentions meeting Aronofsky. if i google translate the page, there's a section where it says Kon "heard Aronofsky bought the rights" for a potential live-action remake. If that's what it actually says and there's no denial, i guess that's the source? but no mention of the $59,000 figure that's thrown around as the amount for what the rights cost. one person on the wiki editing page says this: "I think I discovered the source of the frequently repeated but miscited meme about Aronofsky paying to use a Perfect Blue scene in Requiem for a Dream. In Perfect Blue director Satoshi Kon's blog cited above, he notes that the budget of Aronofsky's Pi was at an independent-film level of about 6 million yen. Someone seems to have badly misinterpreted Kon's words to mean that Aronofsky paid US$59,000 (roughly Pi's budget) to use a Perfect Blue scene in Requiem for a Dream." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3ABlack_Swan_(film) putting aside whether Aronofsky actually bought the rights for $59,000 or not, denying Perfect Blue as an inspiration is still a little eyebrow-raising. like, okay even if you weren't directly thinking about the movie when writing yours, not even acknowledging a possible unconscious inspiration? when the Requiem i care a lot about accuracy so i'm not going to say definitively. even the link i originally posted notes that the original article for the Q&A is gone so the writer had to repost the relevant part. when talking about the Stalker cancer thing, i specifically worded it that "the sound designer believes the set directly contributed to the medical issues" rather than like a fact that had been medically verified as that was the only source i could find at the time. ...
