I'd normally dismiss this but "Inside" is fucking wild. If anybody can make a good Texas Chainsaw sequel, it's those two French psychos.

The "Just You" scene in Season 2 is one of the all-time great Twin Peaks moments, even before BOB shows up. How people don't love it is baffling to me.
I love this column. Always glad to see a new one posted.
Oh jeez, you're right!
I do like that the non-Lodge/alternate reality scenes are starting to get crazier. There was the zooming camera in the hotel complete with buzzing sound, the camera shaking as Gordon witnessed the black hole and the weird vomiting child. Filmicly, the show is going the way of "Mulholland Dr.," which grew increasingly…
The whole Mitchum Bros. sequence involving the pie, Candie, Dougie, the old lady from the casino, is so gloriously absurd. I had the biggest, goofiest grin the whole time.
"Knocked Up" is an interesting example to use. On the DVD commentary, Judd Apatow says he likes the ending because he feels it leaves Rogen and Heigl in a place where their relationship could end at any minute.
It's definitely a very different performance than in "Jesse James" but it is amazing how much emotion he gets out of standing still.
I caught a festival screening of this and was absolutely floored. It's an astounding achievement and the bedsheet ghost may be Casey Affleck's finest performance.
I want to say this was the best episode so far but then I remembered Part 3 had Mr. Jackpots and "HelloooOOOOoooo."
Watching this episode must have been what it was like to watch "Eraserhead" back in the day.
Saw someone suggest the Japanese woman from part 3 Cooper meets is a victim of a nuclear blast (the scarring of her eyes indicates something really bad happened). Has this woman died and found herself in the giant's place?
Zootopia is an obvious example, they ditched the shock collar idea way late in the game. Emperor's New Groove was jammed together in around 17 months after Kingdom of the Sun collapsed. My buddy at Disney told me half of Moana was animated in eight weeks.
It is although it's not that uncommon honestly. A number of high-profile animated films have basically been blown up a year before release and remade from scratch.
This is gossip of course, but the story I heard is that John Lassetter took over directing duties for Cars 2 at the last minute, like nine months before it was to be released. The original director, Brad Lewis (producer of Ratatouille), had no previous directorial experience so the film was a complete mess. Cars was a…
Isn't Billy Zane the star of a couple of those Scorpion King movies? Maybe he and Brendan Fraiser can make a big comeback movie one day.
For the love of god, never watch "Heaven Knows What."
One of Lynch's real strengths as a director is how much he makes do with so little. The scene with Richard Horne is a great example. There are really only like three camera set ups (shot of Richard, shot of the bar owner looking at Richard, shot of girls in front of him) but he's able to build such dread and horror by…
As much as I enjoy the surreal, nightmarish qualities of Lynch's work, that long scene of Norma comforting Shelly and Becky falling for her loser of a boyfriend's charms is wonderful in its brutally sad reality.
The neon green blazer also reminds me of the Lime Green Box Set from a few years back, which contained a bunch of Lynch movies and short films on DVD and was encased in a, you guessed it, Lime Green box. There's also mention of The Man with the Green Coat in INLAND EMPIRE. He has a thing for green, this David.
