You've made excellent points about the movie, and given me more to think about till I get a chance to rewatch it.
It might be a while before I get a chance though, I was so hyped by it, I loaned to a good friend, if for nothing else to hear his reaction to it. I let him borrow my copy of Mulholland Drive, and he

That's really hostile. Nothing I said was a personal attack on you. And I think you illustrated my point very well, thank you.

Ha that's funny. I'm pretty sure if we're in our "death throes" we'll be more than happy to watch to whole shit house go up in flames before we give up the ability to destroy other countries at will.

"It's easy to say that losing a friend or a family member because of political differences is stupid when you're not a person who's directly affected by lunatic left-wing policies. Frankly, as a hetero white male, I don't particularly want to associate with people who voted for the party that thinks I ought to be

Jesus Christ, dial it back a little Che…

We're way too divided. How many friendships and family relationships were ended by this last election? I'd wager a hell of a lot, and that's pretty pathetic. Politics and the direction the country is headed 'is' important, but I think it's ludicrous to lose a friend, a real friend not facebook friend, over

You've touched on an important point here.
Humans have this weird thing where we resist being "told" what to do, or what we "should" do, especially in cases where we haven't come to the conclusion on our own. It's not an attempt to persuade Radiohead, it's a petition. It's an attempt to have a public 'shaming'

I'm a pretty big Pink Floyd fan, but Waters is, and appears to have always been, an asshole. I'm fairly certain that, upon being born, he immediately started to complain about the size of mum's tits.
World class lyricist though.

FWWM & Mulholland Drive are my favorites of his. They both have "all" the Lynch hallmarks, the dreamlike atmosphere & sense of impending dread, and both are heartbreakingly sad.
Also, beautiful women. The man has an eye for the ladies, and I don't mean just eye candy. They're well written characters that make you

every. single. time.

As someone who is still totally mindfucked from watching Kill List for the first time this weekend, I'm enjoying your comments.
I reflexively "gasped" and put both hands over my wide open mouth at the final reveal. No movie has EVER made me do that. Excellent, excellent movie.

Watched it this weekend, and even though I 'knew' the twist (thanks AVC review!), I was still blown the fuck away. That ending, holy fuck…

Glad for you, it's absolutely genetic. Best wishes.

If I could have asked for "one" gift at birth, it would have been moderation. I think for people who have it, they may not realize what a magical word that is for the rest of us who don't. I envy you, as do most other addicts. Honestly.

Never. Not in a million years.
I have two, 21 and 13, and my sincere, honest hope for the both of them is that they become happy, well adjusted adults. But I'd never push them into showbiz at a young age.
Disclaimer: I'm a huge Kurt Russell fan. Glad he made the jump from child actor to adult actor.

Umm, yeah. Like the antifa "resistors" who've been turning up at Berkeley the last few weeks?

I posted this upthread, but I just watched it last night, and that fucking ending had me doing the cliche "cover your mouth with hands because your mind is fucked right now" thing. It was like a reflex, and it's the first time a film has ever done that to me. Utterly fucking floored. Very good, nasty ass fucking

Just watched this last night, and yes, I knew the cult part due to this review.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR OLD MOVIE
What I did NOT know was the final scene, and for the first time in 46 years of life, I reflexively put both hands over my mouth in shock.
Nothing, not "Luke, I am your father", the ending of the The Mist,

Whenever I'm around someone who says "Oh, I don't drink, it makes me sad", or "I hurt my back and the Dr. gave me some Lortabs, but I can't take them, they make me sick", my universal response is "You don't know how truly fortunate you are". You'll never have a problem with it unless you "like" it.

"Our society needs to develop better ways of stepping in to disrupt people's self-destructive spirals."
I totally agree, in principle. I just don't know what the approach should be.
I think it's a symptom of society. We're "all" sad, betrayed, left behind in one way or another. Life has dealt 98% of us a shitty hand.
