I…am now suddenly interested in these Radio Hours.

Because when Zach Snyder thinks JUSTICE, you know he thinks about OJ Simpson!

My personal favorite example:

Hell yeah, dawg. Do you also light yourself up after a nice long motion of the ocean, a nice long romp in the sheets with a sexxxy "sin"ematic work? I'm a smoker so I'd… I'd light you up too.

I'd say THE AUNTVIV OF BELARE is the new SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.

Absolutely, I don't know of many other movies that had such an unfair reception. Admittedly, I am not sure how I would have reacted to FWWM if I saw it after its initial release. But a few years ago at a Twin Peaks convention, Sheryl Lee said the following and it has always seemed to me like the obvious response to…

Yeah I first saw MULHOLLAND DRIVE after renting it shortly after it came out on DVD. I loved it but didn't like it, if that makes sense. It spoke to me in ways I didn't understand at the time (I was 16ish, back in 2001), and yet I kept coming back for more, renting it 4-5 more times over the next 2 years. Then it had…

Well it seems to me like they're not just about isolating frames that are scary, but also trying to illustrate the aesthetic beauty of certain shots in horror, like Freddy's hand rising from the bathtub. I might be wrong but it seems like it's going for a) horror, b) beauty, and/or c) both?

Thank you! Always good to know if I'm on the right track with issues like these.

Good point. And the script is very cognizant of that, so I suppose I should rewatch it sometime. The actress who plays Laura, Iben Hjejle, is awesome.

Very true, I'm probably being unfair to it. It's worth a rewatch if only to see Tim Robbins' character get the shit kicked out of him, even if only in a dream sequence.

There are parts of this movie that I do like. But…god damn, Rob is supposed to be a world-class shitbag, right? That's what the movie wants us to think, right?

You know, call me crazy, but I would love to chat with your tits about such a wonderful business opportunity!

Diamondback was seriously almost unwatchable for me. I don't remember half the shit that happened in the back half of LUKE CAGE due to blocking out how fucking bad Diamondback was.

Yeah I've never understood what people see in him, ever since 300. It baffles me, completely. Even friends whose opinions I at least respect on movies and similar media, even if I disagree… It was baffling and kinda depressing to see so many people collectively not be able to distinguish skillfulness from slickness.…

Haha, glad it was helpful for the 5 people who'll wind up reading it :-D. Just know that INLAND EMPIRE is about as unfiltered as David Lynch has ever gone, holy shit. It's about as classic an example of "loving" or "hating" Lynch as it gets. I completely understand why someone would despise this movie, but the quality…

It's been years since I've read Ebert's archive of reviews, so thank you for suggesting that I read his INLAND EMPIRE review again. I don't remember much about it, other than the gist. http://www.rogerebert.com/r…

You said it it so well! I felt the same way. It's that same old tension between despising Big Pharma and other such things for when they're evil, but not letting that cloud perception of the good that's done, even if it's for a profit. That's…just the way things are, and constant vigilance is the price we all pay.

You know, I have that beautiful blu ray set of Herzog's films that came out a few years ago (including all the Kinski films), and I have yet to watch COBRA VERDE? I need to watch that shit sometime. How do you compare it to the other Kinski collabs?
