As Annie and I were discussing, I was able to find my 2002 top ten list from this past February (when I'd seen only one 2002 film and I hadn't liked it):
a) I've seen two of those top ten films (Human Nature and Full Fronta, and neither is gonna make it. Dang.
b) I don't have any clue why I forgot to list P.T. Anderson's Punch-Drunk Love, which I'd stick at...well, actually, why don't I try redoing the list, yes? And put in the current U.S. release dates so I can get all excited, yes?
1) ALL OR NOTHING (Mike Leigh) [October 25th]
2) THE SON (Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne) [No U.S. release date]
3) WATERBOYS (Shinobu Yaguchi) [No U.S. release date, but ordered on VCD!]
4) PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE (P.T. Anderson) [October 11th]
5) ADAPTATION (Spike Jonze) [December 6th]
6) TIME OUT (Laurent Cantet) [already released]
7) LATE MARRIAGE (Dover Koshashvili) [already released]
8) AFGHAN ALPHABET (Mohsen Makhmalbaf) [seen!]
9) SOLARIS (Steven Soderbergh) [November 27th]
10) SIGNS (M. Night Shyamalan) [seen!]
Arafat and The Lady and the Duke haven't been reviewed too well, and...I don't know, that Gangs of New York trailer is horrible. (The Punch-Drunk Love trailer moved it up a couple notches, though, mostly because Adam Sandler didn't seem all that bad.)

i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
