Pic of the Day: ♫ “You / Doing that thing you do / Breakin’ my heart into a million pieces / Like you always do / And you / Don’t mean to be cruel / You never even knew, about the heartache / I’ve been going through / When I’m trying and try to forget you girl / But it’s just so hard to do / Every time you do that thing you do.” ♫ (25th Anniversary)
Mike’s Top Ten of 2019
So these recent years are difficult to talk about because — I just talked about them. I only posted the original Top Ten list for this year last year. Only a year has passed and usually that’s not a whole lot of time to see how your opinion changes. Usually it’s only enough to see where you overreacted to certain films or maybe undervalued others. But I’m happy to say — I think I got this one right. At least for now. We’ll see what happens in 3-5 years, but at the moment, aside from some minor number shifting (which is meaningless anyway), I’m very happy with the films I chose to be on this list.
That’s the one thing I’m seeing as we move further from this year — it was an incredible year of film. I knew at the time the top ten list was strong, but I didn’t realize just how strong. I’m only liking these movies more as time goes on. And all up and down the line, there’s some fantastic and memorable stuff. It’s gonna hold up. Which is good, since the year after this is perennially gonna be a giant shit show, so at least we’ve got this one. (more…)
