Quote from: flieger on June 09, 2010, 05:24:08 AMThis Gun For Hire (Frank Tuttle, 1942)Without this film we wouldn't have many of the iconic moments from Le Samourai - Jef's room, the railway bridge - so that's good enough for me. Without Alan Ladd's angel-of-death performance as Raven we wouldn't have the studied coolness of Delon. Again, good enough for me. The dialogue is great, "You're trying to make me go soft. Well can save your oil I don't go soft for anybody." Or: "How do you feel when you're doing it?" "I feel fine." The set-pieces and outdoor locations are fantastic. The killings are brutal. What more do you want from noir?How about Veronica Lake?

You think you are in for something pleasant and fun, but it has different plans for you altogether. Have you seen his short "Harvie Krumpet"? This guy specializes in gallows comedy that is surprisingly poignant. I'm really looking forward to "Mary And Max".I have not but I will find it. He is definitely another animator to watch in the future, along with many other new and talented animators. I believe animation has been undergoing a renaissance in the last 25 years, it has slowly been transforming from entertainment for children into a full fledged artform (something Fantasia and Prince Achmed tried to do but were about half a century ahead of their time).Quote from: Beavermoose on June 09, 2010, 12:47:30 PMI definitely wouldn't give a vagina with teeth 10/10Mary and Max however is an amazing film. 10/10Agreed, Mary and Max is amazing.

Is Pixar releasing a movie this year? If so there is no point nominating other animated films for Filmspots.
Pixar lost last year.
