When 4 aka. Chetyre and Inland Empire make someone's Top 10 all I have to say is:
Fuck them.
I never really visit Slant, but they strike me as the Pitchfork of film. While those lists are good, they strike me as too hard trying to be edgy. Hey, if they wanted to entitle it the "Top Ten Best Films You Missed" or the "Top Ten Non-Mainstream Films," I wouldn't mind, but if you don't live in NYC, it's impossible for you to have seen 1/2 of those films (I’m also counting the honorable mentions). Weak.
