Hey all, Sorry I haven't been here in the past few days; busy busy BUSY at work. I'm transferring jobs next week, so it's a lot of paperwork and meetings, not to mention viewings of December releases, before I head away for Xmas vacation and get to work on my Best of 2004 piece. First...
I understand your intentions, but most lists on all previous film lists have sections for first-time viewings, festivals, shorts, etc to go along with that year's titles. I really don't see the use of having a completely alternate thread. In fact, with the upcoming 2005 list I am hoping to do...
I'm slowly coming back down to earth from the behemoth known as the Vancouver International Film Festival. In the course of around 19 days (15 during the fest and four of press screenings) I somehow managed to survive 74 films, which is not counting the 15 or so "other" films ("I [Heart]...
There are about 50 or so HTF members that have their X-Men DVD's signed by Bryan Singer. :) Mine is signed by Singer and Stan Lee. The only other autographed disc I have is of Julia Stiles, who signed my Save The Last Dance DVD when I interviewed her two years ago. I've met many celebs...

Jason's Films of 2003 Report!
Top 10:
#1: The Lord of the Rings: The Return Of The King
(United States & New Zealand, 2.39:1, 201 min., dir. Peter Jackson)
I was certainly a fan of the first two “Lord Of The Rings” films, but I had no idea that the final instalment would break past every...

I'll be starting up the official "The Best Films of 2003: Time To Throw Down" thread in the next day or so. I was originally going to start up the thread today like I always do, but my holiday vacation got in the way a bit. heh.
Thanks NickNC for the heads up. :)

I'm glad others have noticed this scream. I noticed it in ROTK as well. The foley that REALLY bugs me, however, is the "kids laughing" sound that I first heard in the english dub for Jackie Chan's "Rumble In The Bronx", and has been in over a dozen films since. (The kids around Anakin's pod...
That could have been a mistimed automation cue that caused the projector and sound to shut off at the "lights up" cue rather than at the tail of the credits. I've seen this happen a few times before. Jason
I certainly can't wait to see this film, but I did see Nick Broomfield's documentary about Aileen Wouronus entitled "Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer" at this year's Vancouver Film Festival, and while it wasn't my favorite documentary from there, it did have one of the most memorable...
As someone who has attended five films in one day at this year's Vancouver Film Festival, and who normally sees 2-4 films during the weekend, mostly just on Saturday, Trilogy Tuesday will NOT be a problem whatsoever. Just remember to go to the bathroom between shows, get up and chat with your...
Here are some dots and explanation on the two CAP (CRAP) code formats out today, with an explanation of each below: This above image is taken from a 35mm scope 2.39 print of Once Upon A Time in Mexico, with my own personal marking pointing straight to the offending code. This coding...
"No, both Nowhere In Africa and City Of God are considered 2003 films for the list (right, other Jason?)"
Yeah, both films are on my list too, it works for me. :) "Spider" I saw at VIFF 2002 and it opened in a few theaters in Canada in December, then opened again in major cities this March...
"It is my understanding that Seattle's Cinerama is a digital theater." They have DLP installation but Master and Commander and the Lord of the Rings releases there are 35mm. Jason
Phil, The dots you saw in Last Samurai were printed by Technicolor's CAP code system, which are less intrusive than the code that's being printed by Deluxe these days. Some recent Deluxe-printed films that have had noticeable, ya-cant-miss-it CAP code printed throughout one reel: -Elf -...
Interesting primer for our year end thread on the best films of 2003...here's my "so far" list, and I should have another 100 or so films fighting for this Top 10 by the end of December: 01. Kill Bill Vol. 1 (USA, d. Quentin Tarantino) - The most creative and visionary piece of filmmaking...
