    Fuck Andy for this movie. And especially fuck him for the completely unnecessary animal torture.

    You know it’s going to be a good time when you hear a human barking as a dog for foley at the beginning of the film 😏

    Seen at the Egyptian on the big screen. One of the most treasured cinema-going experiences in my life. 

    Seeing Tsai so visibly moved by our two standing ovations is something I’ll never forget. 

    There is nothing like sitting with a packed house filled with appreciators of this very film cackling out loud at times or being forced into communion with one another during a 7-minute long unbroken take of an empty movie theater. Absolute bliss.

    Clearly indebted to Lynch (but maybe Lynch is indebted to it too ‘cause that extravagant heater in Connie’s room looks suspiciously similar to the Phillip Jeffries tea kettle in The Return) and yet ends up being its own thing entirely by the time the end credits roll.

    Hope I can see this on the big screen someday where it belongs thanks to some of the most interesting, how’d-they-do-that-with-no-budget visuals I’ve ever seen.

    The hard cut to the housekeeper suddenly smoking the biggest fucking cigar on the planet made me laugh out loud.
