Weirdly Muholland Drive is so much more coherent thematically and structurally which is odd since it was put together from a TV show. Also the Bill Pullman section is so much better than anything that follows in Lost Highway. Muholland Drive is consistently great.

I don't what that means l. Do you have a problem with the mummy podcast?

80s all over is great.

Yet they wrote better constructed rock/pop songs than a lot of bands at the time. Great songwriting doesn't necessarily mean innovation or "balls"

Fleetwood Mac is good music. I don't know people don't get how great Rumors and Tusk is. Do they not understand well written music.

I prefer the story's ambiguous ending. Its a lot more interesting. The movie's ending is so ridiculously bleak in such a contrived way. It made me laugh at how poorly done it was.

Yes Interstellar and Dark Knight Rises are badly paced and written films. Clumsy is a very accurate word. What terrible films.

My Cousin Rachel and The Beguiled are very much intertwined in my head.

So you're mad modern novels because they are not serious enough or difficult enough and that's Carver's fault

Did anyone read A Book of American Martyrs by Joyce Carol Oates. I know she is divisive but I thought it was excellent.

Thank you great read that i feel is getting forgotten about.

I loved Blackcoat's Daughter and thought Pretty Thing was fine. Its the same style though.

that's too bad because you're missing good films.

Also I genuinely do think Jason Sudekis in Colossal is one of the best performances of the year so far. Didn't think he had it in him.

Loved The Blackcoat's Daughter so much. I feel like I'm in the minority though. Liked far more than his Netflix film.

PTA must be very happy about the free publicity for his upcoming film.

good point.

Order of the Phoenix is still my favorite of the books which I know I'm in the small minority there. People's complaints seem to solely that he's sad and moody. Well wouldn't you be.

Does the show end with Catherine murdering Selina because I honestly would not blame her for that.

Agreed its a very good novel and he sadly never wrote one as good again.
