He said something along the lines of, let’s celebrate the birth of a very important man today, Sir Isaac Newton. Newton was born on December 25.
Wow what a dick.
It’s not like he’s wrong.
Oddly enough I believe I actually already suggested the Boba Fett “Mr. F” joke.
“he hadn’t”
You’re really going to make me look for that post?
Other examples please.
From last week:
Um, okay?
What’s the issue with a horror film from the guy who did REC?
Well I haven’t seen it, but anyway at least in this case there’s some reason (when I asked the question I had never heard of it before). Usually your picks seem like you found a random movie choice button on Netflix.
Netflix.
Curious if that’s a “where can I watch it” question or a “what the fuck are you watching” question.
Most definitely the latter.
ELO

Veronica (2017)
Where do you find these movies?
No one on Earth is allowed to have an opinion on anything that happened before 1901.
Why yes this is Ron Howard narrating A New Hope in the style of Arrested Development
I’ve only seen Dune. It sucked, but I appreciated some of the style, so it didn’t ruin Lynch for me or anything.
Dune might be his all time worst work.
Eraserhead is my favorite David Lynch movie. I still haven’t seen any Twin Peaks, though.
Twin Peaks might be some of his all time best work.
Mullohand Drive
What the heck was that.
Perfect review and exactly my response to it.
Like…I guess I appreciated the craftsmanship but when the movie derails into a random series of nonsensical scenes at the end, I lose investment.
The end of 2001 is crazy and mind boggling, but with a few viewings and close attention, you can make enough sense of the symbolism and meaning of the movie. I just felt disoriented after Mullohand Drive.
This was my first David Lynch movie and I hope to god that the rest are a little easier to follow.
Why not watch it again then? And some of them are (some aren’t).
I could try but it’ll have to wait. I was mentally shaked up quite a bit by the end. It was oddly scarier than almost any horror movie right at the end. When the old folk were chasing here while manically laughing, I was thoroughly disturbed.
That’s a good sign, would be bad if you had no reaction at all. It’s a pretty great movie.
Yeah, I obviously am not too hot on the movie after a first viewing, but I can’t deny that it deeply affected me and I will look up some interpretations and watch it again sometime.
If you’re interested in another similarly creepy as hell movie, Blue Velvet is a lot more straightforward, narratively speaking.
If you really want some entertainment, go read what people claim Lynch was saying in that movie (as opposed to what they’re guessing he was saying).
You can’t know what he meant any more than you can know that God does or does not exist. 😉
Art has meaning beyond what the creator intends. If David Lynch wanted people to interpret his films only one way he wouldn’t keep his intentions to himself.
That doesn’t mean though that it’s impossible to approximately guess his intentions.

They are.
Spoken like a true monkey.
I was underwhelmed through most of it.
I’m sorry this is all I read and you’re wrong.
To be fair, it’s the only season I’ve not rewatched. I just never had the desire to. But I’ll definitely be watching the “remix.”
no one needs to be fair. It was underwhelming.
In comparison to what? The first three seasons aka possibly the greatest comedy in television history? That’s a high bar.
it is a high bar. That is why it was underwhelming. I mean, when it is season 4 of the same series, i feel completely justified in comparing it to the previous seasons. And it was very lacking in my mind.
I think a lot of it for me is that it didn’t have as much continuation of the previous seasons’ jokes. The first three seasons all built on each other. What i remember of Season 4 was that it didn’t have that aspect, and i really found that to be a detraction in my enjoyment of it. I am sure if i watched it more it might improve, but why would i when i have the first three seasons on DVD and watch them often?
When it comes out so far after, you kinda have to take it on its own. It could never be the direct continuation (narratively and creatively) of what came before.

I’ve been planning to check it out. Never seen the original for reasons I don’t know.
Question, where does it fall on a scale of hard sci-fi to light/adventure sci-fi?
i would call it very much light/adventure sci-fi.
This is good to hear.
Nice.

will season 5 be any good though? ehhhhhh
Season 4 was so shut up.
This, very much this.
It’s one thing to say that “it’s a fitting end to the character,” and another thing to say “it’s a definitive end for the character and anything after is extraneous because their story is over.” One is completely fair, and the is just silly.
“I believe that Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League is a movie that exists because its predecessor was designed to have a sequel.”
This joke has nothing to do with this conversation. I never said that Star Wars Episode XI is a movie that exists just because Lucas wanted a fluctuating number of sequels for Star Wars.
This joke has nothing to do with Episode IX. I’m simply saying whether or not a sequel exists has nothing to do with what the filmmakers had in mind. Not a hard concept to grasp.
I have never stated that Indy 4 doesn’t exist. Your grasping at nothing.
Semantics. You’re acting like it was designed as this perfect trilogy capper. I don’t deny that they thought it’d be the end at the time, but that doesn’t make it the “culmination” of the previous movies or a definitive end for the character.
You guys are completely overlooking Dek’s argument. He’s not saying simply that it the Last Crusade wasn’t meant to have a sequel, but that the film was explicitly designed to preclude the plausibility of a sequel. While you can say the former about Star Wars, you cannot say the latter. Very different arguments.
That’s a much worse argument to make. There’s nothing in TLC that precludes a sequel.
Oh, I don’t know, maybe the final shot that lasts through a good portion of the credits that is extremely symbolic of the fact that this was Indy’s last adventure.
That’s a pretty fucking silly notion to have. If Temple of Doom was otherwise exactly the same but ended with Indy riding into the sunset, and then TLC came out five years later (also exactly the same), would you consider TLC extraneous because TOD already gave the character a “clear ending”?
