Oh no, please don't remove it. It's funnier than Portlandia because it's real.

I think trying to find any connection between the bland, shitty, remake-obsessed, hyper-processed, CGI riddled, studio controlled, generic approach to genre fodder that passes for entertainment these days with the intensely creative, guerrilla-style, deeply pessimistic, genre bursting work Romero was committed to is

I appreciate that. Thanks!

I don't know what the cost-to-profit ratio was, but it wasn't Guardians of the Galaxy, or Bridesmaids.

Okay, thanks. For some reason, I thought FWWM was cut against his will. Don't know why I thought that. I appreciate the info.

Yes, but I'm saying how many audiences feel that way? Not many. He only speaks to those who get on his wavelength. I'm not sure why this is so difficult for you. It's called a cult following, and it is a fairly widely recognized phenomenon on the modern movie landscape.

Well, okay then. Thanks for the discussion.

Well, I watched it when it aired, I watched it on those crappy EP vhs copies of the series that were released and I watched it on Netflix again, so I don't think I can be counted as one who dismisses or undersells the show. But it isn't a work of much depth or complexity. It's almost embarrssingly retrograde in its

Okay, it's definitely true that new people are discovering and loving Lynch's work, but they become part of that hard-core cult, and they make up a very small part of the moviegoing audience. The "average" moviegoer finds nothing in his work to hang on to, not even the "weirdness for the sake weirdness" gang that

That I will agree with you on.

You are not dumb or uncultured. There's tons of art in the world. Not liking some of it doesn't make you a bumpkin. Twin Peaks was a wonderful moment in the 90's where something genuinely strange somehow got on network t.v. That's about all it is. And even then it was very uneven. Be proud you think for yourself and

Then just let it go.

I think this is a bizarre argument. Tarantino may be wrong about Fire Walk With Me, but Jackie Brown is hardly an example of a filmmaker living up his own ass, and I don't think that's really true of any movie he's made to date. Sometimes great filmmakers just don't get a particular movie. Most people hated Fire Walk

Of the three adjectives before the noun, one of those things, yes, did kill her.

Was she like "I love how choppy and abstract this series is, brilliant!"?

I can't tell for the article, and maybe no one's sure, but will "The Missing Pieces" be reinserted into the film, or will they still be a separate feature?

Since Sidney Poitier was already a major Hollywood star and had been so for at least a decade, yes, it sounds familiar but not groundbreaking, and horror films have used satire to make social statements since the days of James Whale.

Well, I'm the one who did that, but I don't feel bad because the music is bad.

In what way was it a huge influence? How did he use Romero's film vocabulary, plot structures or approach to dealing with genre constructs. Explain.

Everyone needs to write their grief piece, even if they are not particularly knowledgeable and demonstrate no real passion for the work of the artist involved. Like when Gerry Garcia died, and suddenly everyone was a closet Dead Head.
