I was on Facebook (yes I use it. No you cannot add me) earlier and I noticed that alot of my friends had been doing these "Top 5 movies/albums/novels/video games/TV shows" lists and posting them for all to see. They all have awful taste, unanimously (disregarding my friend Alfie who has impeccable film taste).
Now this got me thinking, undoubtadely a stupid idea at this time(1:30 AM, and I was up all last night). and ultimately led me to the conclusion that it could be my taste that's bad not theirs. Let's take a look and compare.
My "Top 5 films":
- The Godfather - General Consensus: The greatest or second greatest film of all time.
- The Dark Knight - General Consensus: A great blockbuster film with a lot of depth given it's genre.
- The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford - General Consensus: A sublime retelling of the infamous outlaws life with stunning performances from Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck.
- Apocalypse Now - General Consensus: One of the most powerful war films of all time.
- WATCHMEN - General Consensus: Muddled at best (consensus not film)
Oh and before I forget. How insensitive is this? Do people honestly think it's funny to mock a woman who died of cancer and left behind a family? I know she was a racist bitch, but it's still barbaric to mock the woman.
