Every time I watch Mulholland Drive: this is David Lynch’s best film.
Every time I watch Lost Highway: this is David Lynch’s best film.
Life is spent just vacillating between those 2 feelings.

Same but also add Fire Walk With Me
Mulholland Drive is his best. Lost Highway is my favorite
I think I’ve come around to the view that Twin Peaks: The Return is his masterwork.

Mulholland Drive is my favorite film of his but this was his magnum opus.

IMAX Locations - Google My Maps
A Map of IMAX Locations. These are the theaters I could find info on excluding China (still in progress) Base data taken from LFExaminer and updated with current data. Some screen sizes are approximate based on user reports. Some "Commercial LASER" sites may be inaccurately labeled XT...

TIL there's only EIGHT theaters in the entire world that have the capability to run both IMAX Dual GT Laser and 70/15 film 1.43:1 ratio films.
Very cool map to see what various theaters have in the way of their setups.

Got a hot take that would make so many people mad for a host of reasons.

In the sense that almost all of those are phoning it in? I could have played most of those roles.

I can’t believe Bohemian Rhapsody won any awards after that scene where Freddy told the band he had AIDS at Live Aid.
He literally told these guys like 2 days before he died.
Fuck Bryan Singer.
That's like a lukewarm take at best but maybe that's just because I wholeheartedly agree
Man, I thought the take was that they were all bad.

We saw The Bride!
A truly bizarre and not very good movie.

That’s a shame. I usually enjoy J. Buckley’s work.

The acting was not the problem.
This is kinda making me want to see a movie I really have no interest in otherwise.

Perfectly a Strangeness. The Kanopy app seems to think that, since I watched EO, I must want more donkey movies.
Let the Right One In
It's a 15 minute film. It uses some of the same techniques as EO, focusing on the eyes / reflections in the eyes and b-roll type footage to anthropomorphize the donkeys. But the climax is a blast, seeing the observatories move and the night sky open up. Love the soundtrack, too.
Let the Right One In
Hauntingly beautiful, I see why it's described as a romance movie first and horror second. As always, I'm reminded that bullies are the clear villains, but some people watch these movies and identify with the bullies instead.

Been having my own Radu Jude fest leading into his new one, Kontinental 25
Kontinental '25
Continues the string of Jude's recent work where everyday people have to examine what it's like being a cog in the global imperial capitalist machine. A bailiff for a real estate developer finds herself spiraling in the wake of a tragic encounter while evicting a poor tenant. Looking for a semblance of morality in the failures of capitalism/nationalism but all you find is the passive violence within. Tons of long takes arguing about morality and guilt, quoting Brecht, and ribbing Wim Wender's Perfect Days. How do the petit bourgeois process guilt? They mourn through the lens of how they feel about it for a bit then go on their vacation. Needless to say, I loved it. Missing the humor of Do Not Expect... but he probably didn't have much left after Dracula, which he shot at the same time.
I Do Not Care If We Go Down In History As Barbarians
Capturing the absurdity of present day is what Jude does best. Specifically, capturing how awful everyday people can be with stomach churning conversations where they believe their bigotry is rational and correct. A director is attempting to put on a true to history reenactment of the 1941 Odessa massacre but receives pushback from her bosses and locals as they don't see why Romania should be portrayed so negatively. The guerilla filmmaking feel of this closely matches Kontinental. The highly emotional arguments match Do Not Expect... Probably lesser than those two overall though.
Aferim!
This movie knocked me on my ass. A handsomely staged period piece with all of the acerbic wit and nasty provocations I love from Jude. Plays out like a John Ford Western by way of Hal Ashby's The Last Detail, as a constable and his son search the Wallachian landscape for a fugitive slave. Stylistically it may have very little in common with his recent stretch but thematically, the through lines are there. It's every bit as angry and baffled at the racism at the core of Romanian identity as his works set in the present. Maybe the funniest western ever made while still containing some truly horrific shit.
