Ah, OK. I have a similar problem with Gremlins. Not a bad film at all but for some reason it always sends me to sleep. |

![]() McQueen another of those biopics that shows too much of the tragedy in a persons life and not enough of the artistry. Soundtrack pretty iffy, too, for instance, single piano notes every 2 seconds at a volume similar to or above the person being interviewed. On the plus side, good bio information and a LOT of stunning models |

Blue Velvet is one of the greatest films ever made. It’s both terrifying and laughably ridiculous. Also beautifully filmed. Closest Lynch ever came to replicating the vibe of Twin Peaks in feature film format (aside from the feature film sequel to Twin Peaks, of course). |

i’ve been talking about ERASERHEAD all along. ERASERHEAD. (also, blue velvet was made years before twin peaks, so the replication runs the other way. but yeah it’s also about a small town with a hidden dark side. both great no doubt, both highly watchable) anyway it’s eraserhead that put me to sleep. eraserhead !!! ![]() |

After finishing reading Jurassic Park last night, I figured I'd make tonight a Jurassic World(s) night.

From what I've heard Jurassic World is pretty good (can testify), but the one after it isn't. My dad argues that no movie based on a book has ever disappointed him as much as Jurassic Park 2.

Honestly, Spielberg took quite a lot of creative liberty with the original movie, given how different it is from the book. I prefer movie Lexi over book Lexi, who is just annoying in text.

I didn't hate Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. That was the new one for me.

françois truffaut’s DAY FOR NIGHT (la nuite americaine), 1973
i saw this ages ago but remembered little this was i realize now on rewatch his 81/2, and a love letter to filmmaking—which is so crazy and so much work but appears here as a glorious thing with the help of what sounds like scarlatti. this movie is of course much more interesting and entertaining once you’ve watched a few of his movies and can pick up references and allusions and jokes, and understand who is who a little bit. jacqueline bisset was so beautiful in this it can blind one like staring at the sun ![]() |

I KNEW THAT! I should have said closest he came to “doing whatever he did with Twin Peaks in a feature film except for that Twin Peaks feature film.” I know Blue Velvet was pre-TP. Goddammit. But nobody would have any reason to believe me. FUCKAAAH Eraserhead is certainly not the kind of movie I want to watch all the time. Hell no. Once a decade maybe. Yeah it drags. But the end gets seriously fucking weird and many different kinds of crazy. There’s a payoff. It’s suoer disturbing too. |

And it’s damn good. Super Coeny. I hesitated before flipping it on, because I feel like they’ve gone a bit far with the westerns, but it’s BEAUTIFUL, and even though it’s segmented into six stories, you get fully sucked into each one. They run the gamut — from absurdist and cerebral comedy to tragedy to Barton Fink-esque heaven and hell allegory to straight-forward stories of love and loss and shit. Honestly the only part I found wanting was the introduction, which feels a bit like an intro to a TV show or 1950s movie, but maybe that’s on purpose? Anyway, makes for a very enjoyable experience. And Tom Waits is fucking in it, so... yah. |

Better Off Dead. Regardless of first time posting this one or not, forever an underrated classic.
It's my understanding that John Cusack doesn't think the highest of it, which is a damn shame.
