But enough about Inland Empire, let’s talk about all his good works that outnumber it.

(Seriously though, stuff like Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet is beautiful to watch with its pretty saturation after over a decade of gray/monochrome dreck)

I like the look of the first two seasons of Twin Peaks, although the orange/red tint always seemed odd to me. I wish someone would make a new transfer of On The Air because this is the best we've got:

Half In The Bag Episode 253: Send Help

I couldn’t tell if it was the title of the movie or Mike getting desperate.

Now I think it’s both.

In ""fairness"" to Lynch, so did half of Hollywood. Let's not forget that decades after Polanski went on the run for raping two teenaged girls -- people always forget about the second accuser, Hollywood gave him a best director for The Pianist. That irks me more than some weirdo who spent time inventing a mouse trap instead of making movies.

I don't know if Lynch's signing of that petition(s) was heartfelt or performative, but I do like the man's movies on the whole.

I didn't even know about that. I'll look into that, holy shit. Plebs are willing to forget even the most heinous crimes if enough time has passed and if they like the perpatrator for creating entertainment for them. Come oooon, it was 40 years ago! Come ooooon, the victim forgave him!

I remember seeing a picture some teens snapped with OJ Simpson many years after the trial and my first thought was that I'd never do something like that. That guy brutally murdered two people and I don't care if it happened 200 years ago or that he was funny in Naked Gun. Fuck him.

I can admit when I don't understand things; I don't get this -- I don't get the literal meaning and/or metaphor.

It's funny that it never crosses Mike's mind that he's actively part of the problem. 1) Despite hand wringing about how he's "fine" with subtitles, he still ultimately ended up admitting that when there's more on screen he doesn't like to read. He points out that he watched Squid Games dubbed which even casual viewers can mostly agree to watch the sub (to the point that Netflix had to update the subs cause people found tons of mistakes). And 2) Americans in particular have a real problem with needing to have lip flaps match the dubbed audio. For example Japan notoriously doesn't particularly worry so much over it to the point that even anime done in Japanese will have lip flaps not match. On the opposite end, it's how the Speed Racer dubbing happened where characters talk really fast to try to convey all the info and also matching the lip flaps.

If I dare say so myself, I would say that anime is far more visually stimulating, for lack of a better word, than most live action TV shows and movies. I've never happened had a problem reading subtitles and watching the visuals. Which foreign films are so difficult to watch with subtitles for Mike is beyond me. The ones I've had trouble with are the ones where there's lots of dialogue and not ones with lots of visuals. Tons of dialogue and/or translation notes popping up are actually distracting. His excuses reek of BS.

Ha ha, it's relatively obscure Lynch lore:

How long ago did he make his, I wonder, bc Havahart has been around since 1940 [they have humane traps of various sizes, made of metal] but there are other companies that make small, plastic ones going back to the 90s -- none of these are electrified, interesting.
 
Wow, an actual Sam Raimi movie that isn't just a 5 minute scene in a giant turd (Doctor Strange 2) being advertised as a Sam Raimi movie!

Dune is visually interesting. The costumes are fantastic. It's more visually interesting than the drab sameness of the Villeneuve films with the boring, bald Harkonnen.

Haven’t watched HITB in a while and realized I should keep to that.

They were particularly insufferable about AI, but I tapped out when Jay made their 1,000,000th “dude bros = fragile masculinity am I riiiiiighhhhhttt!?” type remark. Who the fuck cares if someone wants to watch a film dubbed in their language enough to try and pin some pseudo-psycho babble on them?

HITB is apparently where they’ve decided to be as creatively bankrupt as the movies they talk about.
