I’m taking the easy way out twice over: a decade-end list instead of a yearly Top 10, and a Skype conversation with Scott Woods* instead of written comments. (Easy for me, that is--Scott, as always, spent endless hours editing, rearranging, and soundtracking the Skype conversation into something resembling a podcast.) To reiterate something I wrote in the decade-end film post a few weeks ago--and elaborated upon in the first audio clip below--I’m reasonably sure there won’t be a similar list in 2029; as Pazz & Jop went, so did I.
