Mulholland Drive (2001)

I think the main failing of this movie is that it just isn't bizarre enough. Practically everything in between the first appearance of the cowboy character and the opera scene is pretty mundane (disjointed, yes, but still mundane), with most of the captivating surreal moments crammed into the film's final half hour.

So while it was okay, it's not the best I've seen from Lynch and definately not as good as it could have been.

<i>Dune</i> (1984)

I liked this movie more now than when I first watched it a couple of years ago - I was actually able to follow the story this time around. I still have to say, though, that the film's strength lies in its direction, not in its story; some things - like the whole bit with the "water of life" - still don't make much sense to me, and I have the sneaking suspicion that the story's been condensed to fit the two hour+ running time, sacrificing a lot of detail in the process.

Still, I liked it - Patrick Stewart charging into battle with a pug under his arm not withstanding - and I definately want to read the book some time in the near future.

Here’s some Star Trek fanart I drew recently.

While not strictly Star Trek, this next one is a portrait of the actress who does play the character above =P

This next picture is a Star Wars piece which takes place in my own personal SW Universe. The man in the centre is Anakin Skywalker following his fall to the dark side and rise to Dark Lord of the Sith. The woman on his right is his wife, Nashira, while the man on his left is Darth Vader, the second apprentice and foster son of Obi-Wan. The two lightsaber-weilding figures in the background are a pair of Sith acolytes who follow Anakin (I’ll leave it up to you to figure out their identities).

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Originaltrilogy.com, not sane, stood by itself against its mainframe, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eleven years and might stand for eleven more. Within, skins continued upright, posts met neatly, the cookies were firm, and links were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the bytes and ram of OT.com, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
