Absolutely amazing performance. Love how a kind of ugly character actor guy is just DOMINATING the screen. He’s utterly magnetic and frightening.

Amazing. Spectacular takedown thank you.

Really great to watch again. A movie of utterly wrenching heartache.

Deepseek may be a bombshell disrupter of the AI market, but, currently, it’s not nearly as good as ChatGPT or Claude. Hallucinates much more and much, much less “creative”.

Just try stuff. None of these guys were “the plan”, they just became the plan via opportunity. Dems won’t even attempt.

Thirsty people will drink swamp water if fresh isn’t available.

The popcorn one? How do you pick an artist?

In the future, they’ll break every actors foot on purpose during production, like a Greek sacrificing a sheep to gain Zeus’ favor.

Takes 36 states to change the constitution.

There’s that part where they discover the cave, and he starts digging like a dog at the ground. Incredible.

I don’t understand what he’s talking about at all here. What is the ancien regime? Who wants to return to the pre-internet? Why?

What is this enemy he’s discussing? Biden? Democrats? “The woke”? I simply cannot square his argument (mostly because he clearly used an LLM to write this)

In a way though…

I’m going to appropriate this bon mot at my next salon, just FYI

The Book American Kingpin was hugely damaging to the history of it. Silk Road is incredibly dangerous, but the feds were amazingly underhanded in how they prosecuted Ulbricht.
The primary DEA agents involved was sent to prison for fraud and obstruction of justice.

Those contract murder sites were almost certainly honeypots. People were charged for hiring a killer, but it’s clear that they just “hired” a police officer in disguise.

Great scene. “Now Let’s see Max von Mayerling’s card.”

Chilling.

I know people who love Lynch, but the sexual violence of Blue Velvet (deeply empathetic/necessary/compelling as it is), has been an immediate turnoff.

Astonished at the rare event we saw: TikTok decided to close up in the USA rather than sell for $150 BILLION. “Name your price” was, essentially offered, and that’s basically never turned down these days.

YouTube video by Super8HomeVideo Lumière and Company - David Lynch

This David Lynch short film, shot with a Lumiere camera, is a real favorite of mine. It is filled a near-minute of cosmic horror and twilight dread. The burning scene change is astonishing.

Goyaesque. Kafkaesque. Lynchian.

An immortal.

Strong agree here, Riley.

Mulholland Drive is probably the best movie I’ve ever seen. Transcendent. RIP David Lynch.

Is any time normal?

It was those weird, sub-penthouse mags in the 70s with names like “Cavalier” or “Rascal”

The costs for some people are astronomical. It’s not a good decision, but I can see why people make it with clear eyes on the averages.

They just don’t like fat people doing anything, full stop.

Not sure if he was a mentor, precisely, but Hyman Rickover, the father of the nuclear Navy, was a huge influence on Jimmy Carter. Love this exchange.

Always curious why horror movies are in “Period”. 1922 Nosferatu took place in “the past”, but the update takes place in the same “past”.

Even more odd with Dracula, which was a VERY modern/contemporary book. Adaptations should be contemporary, just as the book was.

Well ok.

What’s the deal with that huge Raven in It’s a Wonderful Life?
