Anonymous strikes again! The Master is superb but Katie's list isn't half bad.

Don't feel bad for disliking The Master. It has a hollow core of nothing. Its stupid.

I found most of your list quite interesting and helpful in drawing attention to a number of worthy films that may have been overlooked. In talking with some friends last evening, we had agreed that it had been a pretty good year for films with multiple possibilities for inclusion in a best films list for 2012. "The Master" was unsatisfying, but according to your logic expressed in regard to "Holy Motors" such a shortcoming should not be an impediment to being on your list in that you do ascribe to it "technical perfection." To me it seemed that "The Master" felt like a part of a larger story though I am not aware that Paul Thomas Anderson has indicated any intention to expand on this story either earlier or after the time-period depicted. I was particularly intrigued by your inclusion of "Holy Motors" on your list. I appreciate your honesty in admitting that you were baffled and befuddled by it. I am sure that this was precisely the reaction from the vast majority of filmgoers who went to see it which certainly would explain why you were watching it in an empty theater on a Friday night. However, I am not persuaded by what you have written that a film that leaves its audiences totally confused–including film academics who should be the best prepared to deal with its continual referencing of prior films–and assaulted by a variety of visual grotesqueries warrants inclusion on a list of 10 Best Films. It seems to me that many film critics have fallen in love with this totally unique film and that others have included it on their lists just to avoid expulsion from the fraternity. Your rationale for including it when you still aren't sure what to make of it and can't even say you enjoyed the journey when you watched it suggests you are following the herd and listing it because so many other critics are.
