Aghh I love stories like this, little cross-sections of humanity. I almost overdosed on happiness. Almost makes me want to move to New York City.

That Band of Horses music video is sickeningly cute!

It fits Lynch's brand of isolationist horror, that people are too wrapped up in their own lives to see when someone needs help. That is always the scariest kind of horror for me, where you can be surrounded by people, yet totally isolated because of how awful/self-centered people are.

I find myself enjoying this much the same way I enjoyed Metal Gear Solid 4. I hadn't played any of the other Metal Gear games, but I still loved it; puzzling out people's relationships to each other, and appreciating the almost mythic level of depth and stakes from such a long running franchise coming to a head. I've

Same; it was a great device to get us to sit up and pay attention. Although Albert's response of "Blue Rose" is supposedly FBI code for supernatural occurrences, so hopefully he has some kind of plan.

I'm not 100% up to speed on Brando, but didn't he kind of become washed up/unintentionally parodying himself later in his career?

Don't forget The Leftovers! Also in a smaller font, Veep. It's at the point where there's so many of my all-time favorite shows, and I can't keep up. It's a good problem to have.

What did Gordon say? "Grow a heart or die?" XD

Yeah, I imagine Hawk sitting in that chair for the past 25 years, only moving to pick up the phone for Margaret's phone call.

Why would they be trying to shoot him, *then* decide to put a tracker on his car?

I thought you wrote "everyone just wants Coop for his hair." You're not wrong.

This show really is the senior appreciation hour isn't it? Seeing these folks keep up with and in many cases outpace their younger contemporaries really is heartening. Too often seniors are in the background, but I love that this is their story; their age gives gives everything a great sense of stakes; that whatever

The mention of the red door is spot on. I felt the exact same way when watching Eraserhead; like there was something terrifying lurking right out of sight. It's the lingering that does it; I'm glad Lynch has basically made a single 18-hour movie, as it allows time for all of these pregnant pauses and tangential

Not trying to start an argument here, but the way I see it, prison and Laura has calmed down the TV version of Shadow considerably. He used to be a hothead loose cannon, but when we see him in the present he's considerably calmer and more pensive.

I walked past the Trump Tower in Chicago and even that gave me the willies. Someone should remove the giant T from the sign.

I do the same, I come for the content, but I find myself sticking around if I like their personalities.

I did this with Fina Fantasy XV. It didn't grab me immediately, so it sits on my shelf.

Red Dead Rehabilitation where you rehabilitate all the people you shot in the first one.

Change the naaaame; Red Dead Redemption 2 is a mouthful, and makes one think it's a sequel (pretty sure it isn't right?) Red Dead Revolution!

Fuck guys. I can't even. After watching this I saw my mom texted me to give her a call right away, and you bet your ass I called her right back. She told me one of my young cousins has skin cancer. We talked about it and I started crying. She said "what's going on with you?" and I said, oh, nothing, because how do you
