there are only 417 episodes left, damn shame

Twin Peaks: The Return is definitely a movie and it really works much better if you watch it in one sitting

the “based on the novel” thing seems like a big fuck you, especially when they’re doing exact recreations of certain iconic shots from the film and aping the lavender-drenched Cardiff technicolor palette and everything

i mean... it’s gonna take some effort if they wanna challenge the Keith Haring bathroom in the Unabashed Gleeful Filth department

one thing i think is fun about this guy is that he wrote Park Chan-wook’s very good gothic horror film Stoker

i like the sketch Dave Grohl was in about 10 years ago, where a bunch of 50-something dads get the old band back together for one of their daughter’s wedding but it turns out they’re a DC’83 style hardcore band and smash the place up

jesus, Starz has their own version, too? when is the true crime bubble gonna burst? every network and streaming service is jammed to the gills full of 10 hour, $10 million versions of something that would have been a pretty inconsequential single episode of Dateline 5 years ago. i blame Making A Murderer

alright kiddos, get ready to not understand references to Rudolph Valentino and the Algonquin Round Table

my favorite part is when a bunch of present-day college students are bantering and one insults a woman by saying she resembles Yassir Arafat, like all teens do

this is my question too. even some normal sketches featuring music that AREN’T musical guest segments get left off on streaming, like one of my all-time favorites: the last sketch of the last episode of the 2008-2009 season where the entire cast and like a dozen guests sing and (fake) play Goodnight Saigon in response…

superfluous hood, though

does the stuntman sometimes wear a mask that covers his whole head, and not talk much, and walk around with a toothpick in his mouth?

i’m more than ready for this, especially after the push from April

no tail? or maybe just the end of it poking out of the dirt, by the looks of it

it has flowers and Chinese ritualistic money for the dead wrapped up with it, that’s the actual interesting part. wonder what the story is. someone paying homage to a departed loved one by hucking their dome into Lake Michigan, i guess

i’ve never rewatched the Office since the original airings but the part in Office Olympics where Kevin says “Sometimes we play ‘Who Can Fit the Most M&Ms In Their Mouth’.” and Angela says “No, you play that.” is such a great joke delivered so perfectly that it’s stuck with me since 2005

if the distributor thought there was more of an audience for it, i’m sure they would have opened it bigger, though. market research and whatnot. based on the poor-to-mixed reviews from American critics and audiences alike, i dunno if opening any wider would have helped it

yeah, it’s a weird thing to do. i mean, Memento came with a chronological cut on one of the DVDs and it was fun to watch once, strictly as a curiosity, because it completely fucks up the entire narrative thrust and turns it into a totally run-of-the-mill movie with no real hook

it’s like a mirror image of The Wandering Earth, that Chinese film that did it’s damnedest to imitate a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster but made like $5 mil in the US

apparently a blu-ray of Irreversible is coming out with a chronological cut added in as a bonus feature
