Second dead mans chest

by **Buscemi** Fri Dec 19, 2008 4:53 am

Second Clerks II.

I nominate Quinceanera, The Descent, The Protector and The Illusionist (the good version of The Prestige).

by **geezer9687** Fri Dec 19, 2008 5:00 am

I love the debate of The Illusionist vs. The Prestige. Everyone always compares them and they always love one and hate the other. Its just fascinating. Two films, same general topic, but they must be made so differently that they get such strong reactions towards them. I have not personally seen the Illusionist, partly because of this. I absolutely loved the Prestige, and most people who did love it, have hated the Illusionist, and vice versa. I can't come up with any other film pairing where this exact scenario exists. Its crazy.

I am your odd man then Geez. I liked both films although I think The Prestige was the better of the two. It would be hard to top since I thought Prestige was f'n brilliant. Bowie as Tesla = perfection.

Nominate;
Edmond
Little Miss Sunshine
Idiocracy
The Science of Sleep

Second
The Descent
The Illusionist

I haven't seen the Illusionist or the Prestige...but I think I have a copy of one around here somewhere that I borrowed. The one with Christian Bale. I think it's the Prestige.

Are you regretting your nomination of 'Tideland' yet?

by **silversurfer19** Sat Jan 03, 2009 12:14 am

Although I prefer Volver, I definitely recognise Tideland as a very good movie. It took a couple of watches to truly get it, but it is very fascinating. And evne then, I don't regret nominating it, rather, I regret that no-one saw fit to second Volver.... Crying or Very sad
