But it works on two levels man: not only are the FACING OFF in the sense that they are enemies in opposition, but also they literally take their FACES OFF

Fifth Element is probably one of my top five lifetime most watched

The Last Supper

That is a great movie. Andrew Niccol hasn't really done anything quite that good since

The only thing horrifying about The Devil's Advocate was Keanu's accent

I would love an adaptation of Vermillion Sands. maybe as some sort of premium cable miniseries

Nobody's convincing me Robocop isn't about the Hegelian dialectic and Marx' theory of alienation

Edwyn Collins is good though!

You know what's a good song from 1997 that doesn't get a lot of critical love, "Standing outside a broken phone booth with money in my hand". The drum loop and title are hella dated but the melody and lyrics are gorgeous. With a bit of tweaking it could be a Neutral Milk Hotel B-side

Thanks for putting The Velvet Rope on there, that album was ahead of its time

That's crazy to me because I always thought Briggs spoke out of experience, not of education

Oh that's freaky

Oh, I guess I didn't see that as a twist because I thought it was established really early on in that story that the narrator is unreliable and imagining things

World's most menacing jungle gym. Why was there a light up arch?? Why was a tinny, metallic version of Swan Lake echoing throughout? WHERE WAS THE ROVING SPOTLIGHT COMING FROM??

The conga line music was so weird and creepy.

Lynch does this very well (that distended, minor-key…

… The Yellow Wallpaper? One of these things is not like the other

I was so intent on looking for potential Woodsmen/BOB in the corners that I didn't even realize that the boxing match was on a loop - or that *she* was on a loop - for quite a while. Rather my brain noticed (why is that bell ringing again? Didn't Sarah already pour that drink?) before I did. It made the scene so much…

The Audrey scene retroactively improved the one from last week IMO. The claustrophobic editing, the ominous dialogue…"do I have to end your story?" made the previous episode with its bizarre reference to some sort of "marital contract" seem more dreadful. Also, something seemed off/wrong about her reflection in the…

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!
