Well, yes. Of course. Those are all but one of the episodes Lynch directed.

By spending his time building a giant, golden statue of Kevin Costner?

Whoa, dude! Nice one. Zing! I am humbled by your acute and biting sense of humor. You must work here on the internet, am I right? Whatever they're paying you, it's not enough.

Exactly. There is of course a conversation to be had on the historical depiction of women and minorities in film, but trashing a movie because it reflects the attitudes of the time it was made is pointless and counterproductive. MASH is a very smart, very subversive film, the kind of film rarely produced in Hollywood,

No no, totally an act. I of course think we should reduce discussions of one of the most damning, brilliant, subversive anti-war, anti-conformist films to modern day gender issues. As do about 95 percent of every commenter here. Well done, everyone!

You're still not getting it. That the harassment of Hot Lips is sexual isn't the point. She represents the rules. She represents conformity, and this is a movie about destroying all conformists, all rules, all the bullshit that leads to wars.

There is no disjunction between the operating theater and the rest of the movie—that's the whole point of the movie. The gore explains everything else. This is a movie deeply against everything society tells you is important. Many

It's better than decent, it's one of the best movies of 2013, easily. It's a giant summer effects movie the theme of which is: the U.S. is run by rich, lying, murdering thieves, and the only way to combat them is to be an outlaw. Not a popular theme for summer movies. Not only that, but it presents its message in the

A very shallow reading of this movie. You should try again sometime. The '02 Ripley's Game is like watching bad Euro television, and pales in comparison to Wenders's version, which pulses with originality and life. For anyone interested in reading a more incisive piece on these two films, try here:

A movie so inspiring it was remade twice. Once as Galaxy Quest, and once as A Bug's Life.
