Oh I know it's not an horror movie. I am afraid that it will have a big impact on me for some reason. I plan to watch it by summer anyways, before I go into a Twin Peaks marathon (again
).
Got a tip for us?

Twin Peaks - The Original one from way back or is there a new series ?
Love the original, and the movie (Fire Walk with me).
There is a new series (Twin Peaks The Return) which aired in 2017. It’s actually a one 18-hour long 100% Lynchian movie (I once watched it in one sitting). To me, the new series is the most astounding thing I have ever seen. A couple of reviews on the new series:
The Guardian: “Twin Peaks: was this the long, perfect goodbye from David Lynch?”
Esquire: “Last Night's Terrifying Twin Peaks Will Be Remembered as One of the Best Episodes of Television Ever”
“Twin Peaks recap: episode eight – the most mind-melting, majestic outing yet”
Forbes: “Twin Peaks Is David Lynch's Purest Marriage Of Television And Video Art”
Now, the new series is “Lynch on pure heroin”, as Showtime’s ceo described it. So it’s not for everyone, contrary to the original. It requires lots of patience, but it’s a masterful treaty on nostalgia, degeneration, pain, evil, hope, despair, and love. It did change my life, as the original did.
Personally I loved it so much I emailed Showtime’s ceo to thank him for believing and financing the project (he graciously replied!).
I liked this, then unliked it and after that liked it again just I could like it twice. Bit I guess technically that still means I only liked it once. Be that as it may, you get the idea.
I've been waiting for a good time to marathon the whole show myself. Previously I only had the DVDs of seasons 1 and 2, but now that everything has been upgraded to BD the time is drawing near!
The most impressive thing of TPTR (S3) is how the perception of time changes depending on how you watch it, something that is clearly done on purpose given Lynch's desire to bring us to be more attentive to "the now". When I was watching it on a weekly basis, some scenes seemed to drag forever; I can think of at least three scenes that I thought were dragging forever. When I watched them during the 18hr marathon? Oh boy, they not only made sense, they not only felt short, but I found them funny. During one of them I actually laughed hard and is now one of my favorite scenes. I am pretty sure that you will love it too; even the amazing Episode 8 makes sense in that context. Everything really flows.
Yeah, that's something I'm really looking forward to, to watch it pretty much in one sitting. The first time I saw it I watched it in bundles of two to three episodes a day with the occasional day of not watching it in between, so the immersion will very likely make the experience even better!
Aaaand now I'm bummed I can't start this project right this second! The again, how badly do I really need a job..?
The Bird Cage (1996)- based on the classic French farce "La Cage aux Folles," which I’ve never seen , but this is a story about a young couple, her parents are conservative Republicans, her father a US Senator, his parents are 2 gay men who run a drag, gay club in Miami. This story centers on the pre-wedding meeting of the parents. It’s my favorite gay film, one of my favorite Robin Williams films.
Amazing performance by Hank Azaria as the loyal man servant.

The King of Comedy(1982)
Scorsese & DeNiro. Coming off Taxi Driver, this one seemed like Taxi Driver Lite; still creepy, but nowhere as scary n disturbing as Taxi Driver. Worth a watch just to be transported to NYC in the early 80s.

La Strada. 1954.
This picture has lingered in my mind for many years. I first saw this great Fellini work at an art house in LA. later caught it at the Michigan in Ann Arbor in the 80's.
This is the real deal in the art of making movies, and so long ago. Best seen on the big screen. a2

An alcoholic pill addict makes some life changes.
2 brothers rob banks to save the family ranch.
Both of these films were pretty darn good.
Indeed. Breakfast Club and Outsiders showed us film stars of the next two decades. It's really cool when you think about it!
Watched Blackkklansan. Strange movie, as most Spike Lee movies are, but not bad.
Watched it last week and didn't think it was good compared to Lee's earlier works. Watched How to be a Latin Lover a few nights ago and it was interesting. The opening scene which focused on the main character's childhood was very Quentin Tarantino like.
I liked it. But when I first heard what this movie is about, I pictured a black man, wearing a white face, as in how else could he infiltrate the KKK?Watched Blackkklansan. Strange movie, as most Spike Lee movies are, but not bad.

This movie was freakin' scary. It seems especially relevant now in the current age of no privacy.

good film up until the last 10 minutes.Watched Blackkklansan. Strange movie, as most Spike Lee movies are, but not bad.
You're not far off. When I first read about the premise long before the film had come out, I figured they'd borrowed from the opening scene of Bad Boys II.I liked it.

Agreed.
