TBH wasn't huge on Citizen Kane myself ... like I think I don't have near that many problems as Jack, I can recognize how good it was at the time, and the historical value, but I just didn't love it. Liked it, but not love.

Things I LIKE about Citizen Kane:
It's well directed, and the cinematography is very well done. I also enjoy the idea and themes of the film, even if it isn't half as original as people seem to think it is, considering F. Scott Fitzgerald was writing about pretty much the exact same thing almost two decades prior.

Things I do NOT like about Citizen Kane:
It's dull. The pacing is awful. I mean, even for films of that era it was poorly paced. It's just dull as shit - and this is coming from a guy whose favourite parts of Space Odyssey are the prolonged shots of space and the desert.

It very often breaks the great "show, don't tell" rule of filmmaking and resorts to needlessly long and unimportant exposition a lot of the time.

Film actors in the 30's and 40's sucked. Yeah, that's right, I said it. I think Keanu Reeves is a better actor than Humphrey Bogart, by far - and the same goes for any of the actors in this film. Just... bland acting, lacking any of the subtleties or flavour that actors since then have brought to screen. It's like this lot was culled straight out of the nearest community theater - and, of course, this is half true; most of the "good" actors during this early period were first and foremost stage actors who didn't regard film as a serious medium.

Oh? So it utilized various innovative technical breakthroughs? I don't care. So did "The Phantom Menace", and that movie sucked ass. Tech means nothing to me. Not to mention, over seventy years after the fact, the technology of "Citizen Kane" really doesn't hit me the way it probably did to the audiences of 1941.

THE DIALOGUE. IS. HORRIBLE. It's unbelievably awful. It's also just plain unbelievable. None of the conversations seem real - the film has a way of removing me from the experience with it, keeping me from becoming immersed. Casablanca certainly didn't have this problem, and it came out within a year after "Kane" was released.

Many of the things Citizen Kane did well have been done MUCH better by films that came out later. Sure, some may say that's unfair to say since Citizen Kane did these things FIRST, but, well, to me that just doesn't matter. If I don't like the film the way it is appears to me NOW in the year 2012, then I shouldn't be expected to make special consideration for Citizen Kane like everyone else seems to do and regard it solely from the perspective of a person living in 1941. Bullshit Hollywood nostalgia can kiss my ass. I don't like Citizen Kane.

And I'll submit this for your consideration:

Animal-based products are in pretty much everything - including pretty much all instruments and computers, so, you know, tekin, you should probably both stop listening to music in general and stop posting in forums. You should also cripple the fuck out of your own legs, cause polio vaccine? That shit came about thanks to monkey experimentation. How about smallpox? Anthrax? Tetanus? We have vaccines for all of them thanks to animal experimentation. A great deal of our advancement as a species owes to using animals for our own gains. And why shouldn't we? Quick answer, you unwashed hippy: we should.

Animals understand death and companionship and love and et cetera, but they still eat each other. Ever seen how affectionate dogs can be? Ever seen those teeth they got on them? Ever see a coyote tear into another animals throat? Here you go:

Also, we're biologically equipped to be omnivores. Our stomachs produce hydrochloric acid, something herbivores don't. Plus they usually have multi-compartmental stomachs like cows, deer, sheep, etc... So eating animals is in our nature. It's in our biology. We are the dominant species on this planet and we can and will use it's resources to better serve us. If they coyotes had thumbs and improved cognitive functions they'd be farming and eating us. And why shouldn't they.

P.S. This isn't directed at any users in particular, but hey, if any of you want to bitch that's cool #yolo

Voting Jack. He's the single user who's affected BEA the most, for better or worse. This would be a completely different (definitely lamer) website without him.

For the consideration of the BEUT voting committee I would like to submit the following:

"extreme left" seems to classify me best but more in the line of thought that flows from Bataille to Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. i would sometimes classify as an accelerationist I GUESS, but i also believe in social justice and think that even though the economic ideologies we (as the west and increasingly the globalized planet) possess are corrosive and dangerous, using tools with which capitalism is equipped (birth control in all its forms, welfare systems to an extent, etc.) to help the day-to-day lives of people in the Keynesian sense (in the long run we're all dead) isn't completely abhorrent to me. like, i'd vote Democrat or whatever so people don't have to starve and not have medicine and things like that, even if i think that ideological compromise should gradually be eradicated. these band-aids on bullet holes are net negatives in my mind, as they sedate the populace, so i'm much more of a "talk about the bullet holes and promote forced access to flows (of information, material, communication, etc.)" than "bail out everyone and let the state reap the rewards" type.

tl;dr: i don't like capitalism at all but i don't advocate unified Marxist revolution and think philosophers since him have had good ideas about how capitalism should be dismantled, with the continental ideas being my favorites

Well personally I'm of the opinion that Proudhon Kierkegaard Burke Kropotkin Paine Schopenhauer Carabellese Vaneigem Habermas Baudrillard Debord. That being said, I can certainly see why some may say Malthus Socrates Veblen Madison Bentham Locke Bernstein Hausmann Heraclitus Krassner Huelsenbeck. Now, when you say Bataille Foucalt Derrida Deleuze are you suggesting that Klossowski Habermas Lyotard Guattari because I hardly think that Marx Engels Yeats Hemmingway Meyer Brown Black Grey White Smith Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Doe Logan Rogen Hogan Fumanchu Batman Spiderman Superman Popeye-The-Sailor.

tl;dr: mother fucking Yoda.
