Grease 2 (Patricia Birch, 1982)

Conforme esto avanza en el tiempo, no sé si soy yo o son ellos quienes están perdiendo la cabeza. Yo votando por "Oro, plata, mata", "Tian yun shan chuan qi" o "Pale Rider" y ellos por lo que veis ahí. Confirmo que "Grease 2" no es una errata... y que no he sido uno de sus votantes.

[professor keller]

Es realmente curiosa la lista, porque guarda poca coherencia incluso entre películas de un mismo director. Si suponemos, por ejemplo, que la gente que vota a Woody Alen gusta de Woody Allen, es bastante incomprensible que The Purple Rose of Cairo esté casi cincuenta puestos arriba que Hanna and her Sisters.

¿Cuál es la mecánica de la lsta? ¿Lo que está debajo del 100 recibe menos de cuantos votos?

[PREACHER]

Cada uno vota 50 películas en orden de preferencia. 50 puntos para la primera, 49 para la segunda, etc. Lo que está debajo del top 100 son todos los títulos con al menos 2 votantes. No tiene una gran participación: 34 en esta década. Y es que el foro tiene fama de algo cerrado, como nuestros amigos de AllZine.

Desde luego el Allen que yo voté fue "Hannah y sus hermanas", pero ya digo que no estoy en la onda.

[professor keller]

Y es que el foro tiene fama de algo cerrado, como nuestros amigos de AllZine.

Pero Allzine de cerrado no tiene nada, a lo sumo es específico. Eso sí.

[beaumont]

Con mucho retraso me llevo el enorme listado de títulos de los 80, que se me había pasado, muchas gracias por ir trayéndolos, PREACHER.

No lo he mirado aún, pero tal vez en esa década influye que bastante más gente ya la haya vivido como espectador cinematográfico en tiempo presente, y hay un componente más sentimental que específicamente valorativo de cualidades cinematográficas. El mes pasado andaba en una cena con gente que se dedica a esto del cine, y surgió el tema de las películas ochenteras de y para jóvenes, y se notaba eso. Hasta me salió de repente un breve afán defensor de Regreso al futuro que me sorprendió hasta a mí, jaja, pero es que ni tanto ni tan calvo, ni todo es maravilloso porque lo viéramos de críos en el cine o en la tele y nos dejara buen recuerdo, ni ahora todo el cine ochentero está sobrevalorado, que es lo que vino alguien a decir y me sacó a mí lo de que la de Zemeckis, dentro del tipo de cine que es, está muy bien.

[PREACHER]

Es que es muy importante en que circunstancias viste una película, a que edad, si fue en pantalla grande, con que prejuicios y/o expectativas, etc. Por eso también las revisiones/reevaluaciones son una necesidad.

"Regreso al futuro" a mí me parece perfectamente defendible. Además es muy fácil, sólo hay que compararla con las secuelas.

[beaumont]

Sí, era un intento de justificar algunas inclusiones que me parecen un poco injustificables. Grease 2 no la he visto, pero vamos, que no la veo a priori como para poder codearse con las que sí he visto de las que están ahí.
Lo de ver las cosas con más años a veces te hace llevarte chascos, y otras te sientes la mar de bien pensando en el buen gusto que tenías ya tan joven

Las 3 de Regreso al futuro las vi de muy joven en el cine, y hace no demasiados años en la tele. Desde luego la 1ª me parece la mejor, pero comparo la trilogía con cosas que hacen ahora para el público joven y hasta los momentos más tontorrones al menos no se basaban solo en efectos especiales, explosiones y montaje de mil planos de pocos segundos, y tenían algunos personajes que te podían llegar a importar mínimamente. Que sea cine de puro entretenimiento no tiene por qué implicar que se tome por poco inteligente al espectador.

[Alex DeLarge]

Es que es muy importante en que circunstancias viste una película, a que edad, si fue en pantalla grande

Yo las que bajo de internet las proyecto en una televisión de 80 pulgadas para que se parezca lo máximo posible al cine. Cierro persianas y apago todas las luces. Y pongo el volumen a todo trapo. Nunca he visto una película en el PC.
