(spoilers, of course) My basic framework for understanding the complexities of Inland Empire boils down to "actress performs three-level inception to solve the problem of original sin." One of the great things about this origami of a movie is the way you can fold it in different ways and i...

I think we'll get something tonally between the Lynch directed season 2 episodes, with lots of humor and lighthearted character work that nonetheless has a tension (Andy taping the poster up is my mental prototype), and an upgrade on the sheer volume of the sublime material (I would prefer it go alm...

Pretty sure this is what Michael Cera was cast for. Imagine him delivering "I have the fury of my own momentum? I guess?"

Now that you mention it, it is only Fenn interviews (I've seen at least three) where the LFB-threw-a-hissy explanation comes up, but I somehow swallowed it uncritically. I always imagined that the unfortunate sequence of events (beginning with making her a high school student which became a liabilit...

Opening shot (well, first post pillow shot) is similar (although Daytime)

I disagree that Westworld is nothing like Twin Peaks - there were broad and minute things that kept evoking TP to me. Light spoilers (maybe) for anyone not caught up. There is a search for a Native American old place where one crosses into another realm where you are tested. The specific language &q...

I think this is very much a format thing. The experience reminds me of "This is Water," the David Foster Wallace book that is (in essence) an attempt to monetize a commencement speech that he had given at Kenyon Collage, transcripts of which on the Internet had hit many (myself included) l...
