This is terrible news. Badalamenti and Lynch haunted my tv and film memories since the late 80s.

“I’ll have a bag of O positive, shaken, not stirred.”

This summer we stopped at Snoqualmie Falls on our way through WA. Standing on the viewing platform looking at the falls, Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks just naturally starts playing in your head.

Bummer. Lost Highway is one of my favorite soundtracks. His noir score mixed in surprisingly well with all the eerie 90s alt rock.

It’s impossible for me to imagine Lynch’s movies/shows without Badalamenti’s soundtracks.

Ugh, both in one year.  See you at the Road House.

There’s Hamish Bond, in Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula series.

Wait, James Bonds are draculas!?

Saw Glass Onion at a preview screening last night— I don’t know if I prefer it to the first, but goddamn it is a good time. It’s far more gonzo than Knives Out, but tonally of a piece, which it needs to be given some of the goofy twists it foists on the audience.  All the stars are great and Johnson’s nested/fractal…

What are some filmmakers that you like? That might be an interesting thing to talk about, rather than piling onto a 5-year old garbage fire of toxic Star Wars fandom.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I like to believe the prequel to Knives Out is literally James Bond. Then he settles in the United States, adopts an accent, and thinks, “This is better.”

I think Craig’s ridiculous accent is part of the appeal of this franchise. We all know he doesn’t really sound like that, and in fact nobody really sounds like that, but he’s having so much fun in character that it makes everything around him more fun. It also establishes a kind of hyperreality that causes all the…

If I were bothered by accurate accent work, I think I’d hate virtually any media not using the neutral American accent/received pronunciation. The accent worked on me as intended: OTT to the point where it broke through the bottom of bad and went to hilarious again.

It really bothered me at first but it seems like pop culture has been swept up by Knives Out fever so I’ve sorta tricked myself into forgetting about it at this point and when I watch Glass Onion around Christmas when I hear it I’ll just be like “ew.. oh yeah, whatever” and proceed. But it is a very, very silly accent…

Honestly Craigs accent was the worst part of the whole movie, which overall was very enjoyable. But that super over the top southern accent was terrible.

Johnson reluctantly admits that Blanc’s accent is “based mostly on Shelby Foote”

It does sound like a movie you might remember Troy McClure from.

The title is just...I mean C’MON, Hot Shots! Part Deux should have put an end to this!

I see we are doing The Producers method.  Film, Broadway show, film again.  I've seen the production in person and its pretty fun and I would very much love to see Auli'i in another musical as she was quite fantastic in Moana.  Sure why not.

But who the hell is going to play Egg-Head and The Bookworm!?!?
