Yeah - I love that movie. Probably my favourite recent-ish Lynch film.

Yeah, love that too but Mulholland Drive (to me) is his most perfectly realised 'Lynch' movie. Just the right amount of weirdness etc.
The Lost Highway did my head in cos No matter how many times I watch it I can't really fully 'get' it.

with the obvious exception of "dune", i would say "lost highway" is certainly the weakest lynch film. no matter how abstract his other films get, there is always a point to them, and a direct sense (it seems lynch explores a particular emotion or concept [e.g. fear of accidental fatherhood in "eraserhead" or the madness of love and jealousy in "mulholland drive"] through his trademark interweaving narratives and dream-logic of re-contextualised imagery in pretty much all his work), except in the case of "lost highway".
i do think it is the only of his films which is guilty of being "weird for weirds sake", and in general it does strike me as confused, underworked and simply just lacking in content. some striking imagery though.
the typically excellent badalamenti score was notably spoiled by the inclusion of tripe by bores such as the smashing pumpkins, marilyn manson, lou reed and bowie.

my balls have exploded.

watched nacho libre which was just plain terrible. weak dialogue and the constant feeling that they were trying way too hard to make a cult movie.

also watched a scanner darkly which i fell asleep half way through, wasnt all that enamoured with it so am gonna give it another shot this week sometime.

watched the king of new york for the 1st time tonight, great movie though i kept waiting to hopefully get a glimpse of avernus' avator.
LOSER!

I thought Avernus' avatar was from Donald Cammell's completely nutty film 'Wild Side'.

Walken doesn't have hair like that in 'the king of new york'?

 

[HMD]

what movie is that?

"anchorman": finally seen. excellent, excellent stuff. a few misses (in particular the ending) but for more part highly amusing. the wonderfully over-the-top and occasionally remarkably harsh comedic performances remind me of "strangers with candy" (one episode of which features will ferrell at his best).

No-no-Notorious

amazing film.

 

[Raudi Raus Schinkel]

Went to "66' the night before. was very cheesy but cute!

 

[mr pharmacist!!!!1]

good movie, some really great performances, really love the cork accent as well.

 

[george mcfly]

do you like Rocky V.
I watched it last year.

i keep turning it off..i kinda prefer to think that it never happened and that things worked out ok for him in the end

the fight with Mr. T is the best thing my eyes have ever seen!
"you ain't so bad! you ain't so bad! you ain't nothin!"
