Not really. He's done a great deal of coasting in the last couple decades but his WW work wasn't that. He showed up to work.

Same here. I assumed he'd sound like Morricone.

Agree but fortunately we can have both.

Good call on Sixth Sense. I saw that early when it was released, before there was too much talk about it, so I wasn't primed for a twist and was just following along with the story. I remember being mainly surprised that the "I see dead people" talk with the mom was so late in the movie since it had been used as the…

I think they managed to invent that Rage virus that kicked off 28 Days Later. It's in the form of the Film Theory Guy's voice. At least that's the effect it has on me.

If all TMWWT did was deliver the Tony Shaloub performance it would be an all-time great. It did more than that so it deserves much more praise than it gets.

Kairo is a particularly effective horror movie in that I went in looking for scares and came out despairing for my existence. If that ain't horror, nothing is.

The show that makes me cringe any time I hear the word "spooning."

What I love about this show is that I don't remember a lot of the batshit stuff that's getting mentioned in comments, but every time I read one I think, "yeah, that sounds about right."

I feel the same way about the DNC "Shock! Horror! They worked to get Hillary nominated over Bernie!" thing. I have no love for political party mechanics in general or Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in particular but it's pretty much a given that a party will try to put up the candidate most likely to win. It's only a recent…

Their whole fucking campaign was based on people accepting fiction-levels of absurdity at the expense of boring facts.

Austin has a weird collection of everything: a ghost mall, a former ghost mall that's now the major community college location, one that still has a music store and a couple of other things but is mostly converted office space, and one thriving big mall. All of them put me into varying degrees of depression.

No one currently writing for the AVC should accuse anybody of coasting.

Yeah! That's why ultimately I'm fine with Lynch's pacing and his willingness to just sit on a shot longer than anyone else would. Sometimes it wears at my patience, but so much of the time I'm glad he gave us a chance to absorb a small thing we would normally plow by.

For no good go dammed reason I watched that Pepsi commercial again last week. I think I wanted to see if it was as bad as it seemed.

She's trapped in a waiting room where every once in a while someone pops in to remind her that you have to really work hard to piss off David Lynch but once you do you're dead to him.

I'm going to venture and say they are. That seared into my brain and makes my skin hurt.

There was something weird about his blinking but I couldn't figure it out. For a second I thought the footage was in reverse because blinking looks really peculiar if you do that. But Watts was moving normally and I couldn't imagine them doing an effects shot for that. But then, why wouldn't they?

I love what she's doing on the show. I had no idea who she was and just looked her up to find that she was in a band called 8 1/2 Souvenirs that played Austin a lot when I first moved here. So, I've apparently seen her in action a lot and have one of their albums laying around. So, now I think I like her in the…

Yep. Lynch pulls stuff off that no one else should attempt. For every great director I can think of a couple of examples of something made by someone else that at least got close to capturing what they do well. I don't think anyone will ever match Lynch at what he does.
