Black Swan was fine, I think, but I was mostly annoyed that my "This looks like baby's first Mulholland Drive" guess at the trailer pretty much panned out.

Totally. All of these things are done so straight—without directly calling attention to themselves—that they exist right in that perfect "This has to be intentional… right?" part of my brain to drive me crazy ha.

Right before the attack, Randyll Tarly tells Jaime that all of the gold is safely inside King's Landing and suggests flogging the remaining troops to speed them up.

Here's the scene: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

From what I've read, it seems like Mark Frost might think of the Lodge denizens as extra-terrestrial or dimensional beings but Lynch doesn't.

It doesn't help that Ed really does seem to have a puzzled expression.

Yeah, I think—at this point—I have to accept they just say things like that because it sounds to the general public as a more vague indicator of "some time" rather than a specific amount.

Honestly, he looks fucking great for his age too.

Me neither. Because Varys certainly doesn't seem to be doing fuck all else (what's the point of a master of spies when he seems to have completely lost his contacts?). I'm torn between hoping there's a mole and being worried it's just sloppy writing.

ooooh my god. I was wondering if he was coming back. I'm so happy.

Yeah, it sounded like a weird glitch. I have no idea what to make of it other than that it was mesmerizing.

I said it elsewhere but I really fucking hate (love) that fan.

I got it over Christmas but never got around to it. At this point, I'm just waiting to read it after the show before I rewatch it with my girlfriend (she wanted to rewatch the original show and then FWWM for the first time before starting it).

I have been thinking about this since the v first time they mentioned Jeffries and if it happens I will lose my goddamn mind.

BOB is definitely gone from Mr. C. "They were wanted something inside you."

I could see Audrey being in a coma, but there's no way all of this is. Lynch's work that shows people embedding a persona in a fantasy (a la MD or Lost Highway) still tend to focus on that character or that surrogate. That's why it, imo, it never feels like a cheap "reveal." The lines between real/unreal,…

Wild at Heart has a few REALLY good scenes, but as a film it's the one time I felt like Lynch was unintentionally making a parody of himself.

Is that "Good grief" in a good way?

Especially with the prior, intentional questions of present/past, the looping Cooper when they're trying to turn the power back on, the looping of the boxing match, and even the weird continuity cut in the RR earlier in the season.

I was really thrown by Bobby this episode. Last we saw him (I believe) was when he was at the diner during the evening and the gun went off. This week's ep had him sitting down with Ed and Norma and mentioning that they "found some of [his] dad's stuff today," which doesn't make sense from what we've seen.
