Another matchup that physically pains me. Having revisited Inside Llewyn Davis more recently than La La Land, I can't believe I'm voting against it. But, Chazelle's musical has been so maligned in the wake of its infamous Best Picture loss that it might actually be starting to be underrated in cinephile circles. Chazelle is one of "my guys," and because I won't have the opportunity to champion Babylon in this tourney (one day!), I had to give him my vote here.

Trashing La La Land is so hacky. Voted for ILD because it’s my favorite Coens but La La Land fucks 4ever.

Oh, great. Another movie about starry-eyed dreamers chasing fame in a world that’s just so gosh-darn magical. Let me guess—their struggles are endearing, their setbacks temporary, and even when they fail, they do it beautifully under the glow of some vintage streetlamp. How inspiring.
Here’s the thing: life isn’t a Technicolor dance number, and talent doesn’t always come with a happy ending. Sometimes you play your heart out in a half-empty dive bar while some guy in the back asks if you “do requests.” Sometimes you wake up on someone’s couch with nothing but your guitar and the creeping realization that maybe you’re not special.
But sure, let’s watch two perfectly coiffed pretty people twirl through their sanitized struggles and call it art. I’ll be over here, playing a song no one wants to hear.

This is an insult of a matchup. Inside Llewyn Davis all day against La La Land (insert vomit emoji)

"What is the best film of the 21st Century?" is the wrong question. The correct question(s) is, "What is the best film of the 21st Century, and why is it 'Inside Llewyn Davis'?"

La la land I really adore. But unfortunately Llewyn is an awesome film that I feel more Filmspotters will vote for...
This game is not about voting for your favourite but voting for what the majority will do...

Please Mr. Kennedy, uh oh, I don't want to go...-the last words of La La Land as it catches fire.
