I stopped after Freak Show. Later, I caught some episodes of Hotel (I gave up) then watched all of Roanoke, I believe, but I really disliked it by the end. The first seasons is good, the second is great, the third is campy fun. Everything after has been torturous.

It’s a shame that this exact statement can actually be said by people who 100% mean it. Obviously you don’t...I think.

Aren’t a big portion of independent productions funded by the studios? I know lots of “independent” studios are basically owned by the big production companies.

From what I understand she was brain damaged from a car wreck that occurred when she was a young girl. She was institutionalized for quite some time, too.

Oh, I wasn’t really arguing about the quality of Lynch’s work, just the fact that Herzog is probably the biggest influence on him. He totally pulls from different films and directors, but that’s (kinda sadly) the norm for most filmmakers now.

As far as a direct influence, Herzog is way more influential at least for Lynch.

I think it’s up until the Leland reveal and then he drops out until the finale.

Did the yellowface thing even involve Lynch in the slightest? I though he left halfway through season two and only worked on the finale.

Pretty sure Lynch didn’t have anything to do with the Martell storyline in season two. He only was involved with season two up until the big reveal and then the finale.

Pretty sure Herzog is more of an influence on Lynch than Luis Buñuel? 

I go with the film being black comedy because the chief influence on this film (Polanski) is very well known for his brand of black comedy. Rosemary’s Baby itself is basically a comedy just as much as it is a horror film with Ruth’s acting and the other cultists’ behavior. The deadpan way Toni says “I got sick of…

Yeah, I was pretty sure about that too but I felt like it might be going a bit too far without to say that without someone else agreeing with me.

The VVitch had critical claim but a pretty swift mini-backlash from the public. So did The Babadook.

Minor spoilers follow...

I think it is?

Horror movies do have a pretty long tradition of both skewering the concept of the nuclear family and reinforcing it.

My favorite thing about Fallout 4 is that it’s the only story based game I have ever played without a theme.

I mean, Barr did suffer a traumatic brain injury at a pretty early age. She’s always acted erratically. I think in a way we have always seen the same Roseanne and her behavior is just filtered through current times and issues.

I mean, Alien is just a slasher. A beautiful slasher with wonderful production design, acting, directing, and writing; still, there are plenty of great slashers I can group it with. Halloween, Black Christmas, Psycho (I would call Psycho proto-slasher but still), and many more are either as good or better than Alien.
