Considering staying over with a friend, with a weird double billing of movies to bookend it.

I Saw The TV Glow, worth a watch if you like Greg Araki's film Nowhere or Twin Peaks.
It's also part of the curious modern trend of independent films directedby women where the lead characters have no (or almost no) meaningful relationships. |

This had not occurred to me but very interesting. I preferred We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, which really left me feeling fucking deeply unsettled, but TV Glow was pretty good too |

A side effect of David Lynch's death is that some of his films are available on national tv websites for several days.
I watched Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me this sunday, and again on monday. Gonna try to watch it again and again to see if it does something, whether it's getting me bored or disturb me. I would not have done it with one of his movies I enjoy more (Mulhllland Drive, Blue Velvet, Eraserhead) |

I admire David Lynch, and his uncompromising view towards his art, but man, his films are boring to me.
Beyond boring. Pointless, which is the worst thing any art can be. Mulholand Drive - could care less. horrible people doing horrible things, as if thats new or interesting. I hate hearing other people's dreams. Why would I want to see a film of it? Lost Highway - I turned this boring shit off less than halfway. Twin Peans Fire Walk with Me - I fucking hated Twin peaks and I hated this stupid fucking sequel film. Notice how few PoC there are in any Lynch films. (Richard Pryor was "in" Lost Highway) Wild at Heart - Another boring movie about shitty white people. Boring, stupid, insipid film. Blue Velvet - everyone I knew that loved this film seemed a potential predator waiting to happen. Boring fucking shit about shitty people doing shitty things. Who fucking cares? not me. Eraserhead - the OG film of being weird for weird's sake. Pointless plot. Terrible acting. famous for being so shitty that people think its deep. That's my rant. may Lynch rest in peace and may I never have to see any of these films again.

Well, at least you like Mullholland Drive a little bit, Rob.

You’ve got me muted, I know, but I don’t necessarily think something like a band’s makeup is comparable to a director’s entire filmography in this respect. A band forms, and usually that’s about it. Maybe a new/replacement member here and there over a decade or so, but normally it’s one and done, I’d say. David Lynch made movies with casts of 30, 40, 50+ people for damn near 50 years. It is a bit strange that, throughout that half-century, there were next to no people of color represented. I think it’s a valid thing to note when considering his work as a whole. That said, I really like David Lynch, and while I’m too old to stomach that kind of discomfort viewing much anymore, I do respect him and I think his best films are some of the best films of all time. |

a few weeks back I watched a great movie, now I don't remember the title anymore
It's Spanish language, might have been from Spain or from South-America The main plot is about a police officer investigating a cold-case. main plot is good, albeit the ending was a bit disappointing But it's the sub-plot that matters, about the relationship between the (male) police officer, and his (female) boss. Think it was an Oscar winner or nominated for it. Yesterday I started watching On The Waterfront, but I got bored by it. Might finish it in a few days. Watched old episodes of QI on youtube instead. And a few days ago, How to Marry a Millionaire. Wow, totally different from what I had expected even though I didn't know what to expect. But highly entertaining, and funny as well. The beginning is weird though, it starts with a very long musical piece where you only see the orchestra playing which doesn't really belong to the story. Perhaps it made sense back in the fifties ...

Music is aural. film is visual. Music is colorless. Black audiences didn't know Bobby Caldwell was a white man (the record label hid his face in the ads and cover) and they felt his music deeply.
White kids didn't know Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers were black, until they saw him live on TV. film is a visual medium, and if you look at movies by black filmmakers, they include white characters, latino characters, etc. because they try to reflect reality. Many white directors create whitewashed landscapes where PoC are either non-existent, or they are in positions of servitude. Lynch is one of these.
