Re: David Lynch: Ranking His Movies From Worst To Best

Oh, I definitely agree that Zabriskie Point is quite flawed -- but I think these flaws are exclusively in the screenplay and the two leads acting (plus that atrociously out-of-place Orbison song that MGM put in at the very end behind Antonioni's back). The explosion scene is indeed absolutely stunni...

Re: Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces - analysis/thoughts etc

I love the idea of the Missing Pieces as a bridge between TP and FWWM; it certainly feels that way, tonally and formally, in all the ways that have been already pointed out. I loved a lot of scenes in the MP -- Nance and Chen's scene with the old banker, Lynchian absurdist comedy at its finest; the ...

Re: Part 2 of Journey Through Twin Peaks: The Center Cannot

Great stuff. I'm very excited for your piece on the remaining episodes, which -- although full of flaws -- are (precisely for that reason) just as interesting/entertaining to critique and discuss as the show at its best. I too have some problems with Episode 16 although I think it's fairly competent...

Re: David Lynch: Ranking His Movies From Worst To Best

10. Wild at Heart - Weak, Tarantino-before-Tarantino antics dominate this messy and ugly film which only has a few genuinely great scenes. Not a fan -- it almost feels a bit un-Lynchian in how aggressive and nihilist and "trendy" it's trying to be. Out of all ten features, it's only this a...
