You're exactly the kind of person who objected to 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blow-Up in '68.

I thought of that but

Just saw this. Thank you very much!

It's a dumb, conspicuously braggy point that gets almost nothing across.

Without the "I can hear you!" nonsense.

That and "I was a cat" were both brilliant.

I thought the ending scene — especially Gavin reminding Richard that he gave him the patent and Richard saying "Thanks" — was actually kind of brilliant. Both men are a blend of extreme ambition and a sporadic and not-particularly-dependable desire to "do good," and, in that final scene, Richard demonstrated that he's…

I watched it again, and I'm astounded by its brilliance. Here's to Showtime for willing to be in the ultimate vanguard like this.

I agree with every word of this. Well said.

Or like Vader was always Luke's father (or like Luke and Leia were always siblings).

It is if there's a reveal scene in Homecoming that flashes back to Iron Man 2 footage, introducing the idea "for the first time."

It's been slow and stealthy work (by the actor and the writers), but Jack Barker really has emerged as a perfect savage caricature of the very worst qualities of CEOs (and big-business types in general). His disingenuous flattery; his ridiculous theorizing (the "cojoined triangles") which is just a mechanism for…

No, yours is.

Well, you're talking about the general social issue there — and I agree with you completely — but I was talking more about specifically anomalous fringe cases like Lynch. But, basically I get your point. Thanks.

Thanks for responding. I tried to be clear that I'm not saying "ignore" these issues (or, worse, scold those who bring them up, which is happening here a lot). I'm saying, the problem is there; it won't go away or be "solved," and the art is still good, so what do we do after we acknowledge it? (And again, asking…

But you didn't make the point — there's too much missing from what you said, for us to understand what you're getting at.

I'm totally sympathetic to this argument (although I love Lynch and love Twin Peaks). David Lynch's work has a real flaw — which becomes more notable and problematic as the decades advance and society becomes more enlightened — he's retrograde in terms of diversity.

That's the one shot on mini-DV, right?

It's not "copied." I doubt Frost and Lynch sit around reading Grant Morrison comics. They came up with all of that on their own; it's a convergence on a similar — but not identical — set of ideas that are sitting there in 20th Century History waiting to be addressed in this fashion.

I have absolutely no idea why he's famous. You can go grab someone off the sidewalk and get a more charismatic or talented actor.
