    Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

    ★★★★★

    “We live inside a dream.”

    David Lynch passed away today and I haven’t been okay all day. Somehow I thought he would live forever. He is one of the rare artists whose soul is celebrated more than his work. Everyone loved him. Everyone. I could talk about how influential he was to cinema, to art as a whole. I could talk about how much he changed the medium. But everyone already knows that. God. Talking about him in the past…

    Dear Mike Flanagan,

         I do not know how to begin this letter. Your two works, The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, completely flattened me. You obliterated my world. You dragged me through space and time. You scared me so terribly and stained my soul so indelibly. Not inherently because of the ghosts or what is conventionally thought of as being scary.

    ★★★½

    Loved the first half. The chemistry between Miles Teller and Anya-Taylor Joy was wonderful to watch. The second half however, is exactly the mediocre creature feature/government conspiracy I expected it to be. I still had a good time watching it though!

    Cool concept. However, the camera as the ghost pov ends up feeling like a neat gimmick in an otherwise shallow story. The dialogue is also shockingly bad.

    Haven’t watched it. Not gonna watch it. 

    It is absolutely incomprehensible to me that Sony keeps making dogshit Spider-Man films without Spider-Man. Who the fuck is making these mind blowing decisions?

    Do the executives have a chronic addiction to making horrible “films” and losing shit tons of money?

    A24 could have made 3 or more Oscar winning feature films for the budget of this film. 

    Fuck you Sony/Marvel.

    There is nothing controversial about Blonde. The film criticizes the very people that hate it. Majority of people hate it because they only want to see the fun, always happy, sex icon that is Marilyn Monroe rather than a non-perfect, layered, deeply complex, fragile women who experienced a lot of emotional trauma. If you are one of the people that wanted to see the classic image of Marilyn Monroe (the icon) in this film… fuck you! You are part of…
