The A/V Club — Best of the Decade: Films
My pops said this was stupid. I disagree with the top choice. "The Dark Knight" gets the nod, but was outranked by "The Prestige." There are already dozens of these comes coming out, and I'm working on my own top 25, to then hopefully change it by 2020. This list also kinda reflects of our (Eric, Linz, Sofia, Beef) generation. No? Ch-ch-check it out:
1) Collaboration: With only one author, you close off opportunities to expand on ideas and perspectives. With multiple authors, you open the door to for more content, conversation, points of view, and creativity. The more contributors, the better.
2) Conversation: Everyone deserves a platform to intelligently discuss issues and ideas and engage in thoughtful, informative conversation. Oh yeah, and links to the newest, hilarious video clip. This is that platform.
3) Challenge: Life without challenge, especially mental challenge, is empty. Take the time to read ideas from important thinkers, investigate opposing or alternative rationale, and send your brain to the 'gym'. Just because school's out doesn't mean we have to stop challenging our brains.
