I know the food metaphor's been used before in the beginning of the thread, but imagine getting a totally rubbish dish and then some wise guy starts asking you "has it occured to you this dish is a parody? the dish is rubbish on purpose! don't judge the dish until you've had the desert!! french...

mlsstwrt wrote:Introducing Green Glove Boy with 4 more episodes to go and so many unresolved plot threads.... I mean, utter genius. How could we possibly question Lynch's powers at this stage? This whole thing is an abomination.

The more I think about it, the madder I get!!!

For a movie about this, I can't recommend 'Welt am Draht' (Fassbinder 1973) enough!

Re: the dreaminess of it all, one thing I liked about 'Inland Empire' was this idea of a bottomless dream, which btw I also agree with on a philosophical level, and to me the succesful thing about that experiment was exactly that it didn't make a lot of sense, every scene just followed the other wit...

Very few things bring me as much joy as the Smiths at their most empathetic and joyous. That will never change. Morrissey, however, has transformed from a hero into loathsome self-regarding bigot, revelling in his own myth and firing out dog-whistle screeds denigrating sundry non-white people aroun...

Haaaaa judasbooth, as a long time Morrissey follower i made that parallel with Lynch in my mind a lot these last couple months also! The success & wealth allowing them to isolate themselves from any criticism or outside influence, the total unwillingness to even consider their peak is in the pas...

Are you guys gonna discuss Jean-Luc Picard for pages on end again?

Let me give you my take on it, I'm a 41 year old man. When prior to The Return i rewatched the original series again (after seeing them when they aired and couple times after) I again had months of nightmares, was scared to brush my teeth, almost didn't dare get up from bed to pee etc. This is the o...

But all the promise it started building just completely disappeared when we got to Sarah Palmer in the bar. I'm trying to think of some more sophisticated way to put it than what a load of crap, appalling, awful, terrible, ridiculous, unbelievable, stupid, jarring....the list goes on. In my opinion...

According to Schopenhauer's theory, as paraphrased by my limited understanding, a person is primarily blind will (which is inherited from the father's side) but also reason/intelligence (which is inherited from the mother's side), and only reason can shine enough light on the blind will to make it r...

To me this thread is a lot more interesting than the main one for epi 13 anyway where i swear they've been discussing a digital glitch that you can't even see for like the last 10 pages or more! A lot of that kind of speculation reminds me of the iamaphoney phenomenon from around 2006 or so where th...

Other: Big Ed can't bear it any longer, finally goes psycho and shoots up the RR Diner. Bobby happens to be nearby and manages to take him out with a clean headshot, but not before Ed kills Norma, Shelly, Heidi and four of the customers; cut to Julee Cruise lipsyncing "Falling" over at th...

To be fair, I'm not that disappointed with The Return anymore. I certainly don't think it's an unquestionable masterpiece either (yet) but i enjoy watching it and am intrigued by it. My main gripe with it was (and still is) that to me it's not actually a reboot of Twin Peaks, more like a sort of spi...

Best Donna is Laura Flynn Boyle!!!
