Inland Empire 2006
“this is a story that happened yesterday. but I know it's tomorrow.”
a fractured poem, the decaying infrastructure of a psyche, reining in the concept of chaos reigns, cinema gone wild, an enigmatic spiderweb of visions from the beyond cast like a net into moments that leave an explosive impact far beyond their fleeting duration in space and time. this is Inland Empire, David Lynch’s final feature film.
in many ways, this is Lynch’s absolute masterpiece. for decades, this unrelentingly…

Nosferatu 2024
when it was announced that Robert Eggers’ next film would be a remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic Nosferatu, i was a little concerned. had one of my favorite—and arguably one of the best—living directors finally succumbed to making shameless cash grabs destined for Christmas Day release? fortunately, my apprehensions were quelled—or at least temporarily put to rest—by endorsements from people whose opinions on cinema i deeply respect. tonight, i had the chance to catch a 35mm screening at…

The Girl and the Wooden Horse Torture 1982
so, i’ve decided to stream all the weird-as-hell movies i’ve been meaning to watch for a long time on discord for any curious friends who may or may not be interested. so if you’re out there and possibly intrigued—or if you have some depraved suggestions of your own—join here. these pictures range from classic exploitation flicks to what we have here: surreal Japanese BDSM smut.
there isn’t much that needs to be said about the heartwarmingly titled The Girl and…

The Straight Story 1999
i rounded out my weekend affair with the David Lynch retrospective at The Belcourt Theatre with a solo trip to watch the 35mm projection of The Straight Story. this might be a controversial opinion, but i find this to be the most beautiful film Lynch ever made, and the more i revisit it, the more it solidifies its place among my favorites. yes, it’s somewhat of a black sheep in a filmography that primarily consists of psycho-sexual surrealist fever dreams…

Lost Highway 1997
it’s always a treat to watch Lost Highway—maybe my favorite Lynch film of all time. i don’t have much to add beyond my previous reviews, except that seeing it in a packed theater with friends, all of whom were there to honor the great David Lynch’s legacy, was such a blessing. the whole theater was alive with vibes, and it ended in thunderous applause. magic.

Flash Gordon 1980
some films have achieved such a mystically monumental and unachievable status in the cultural zeitgeist that it almost doesn’t matter if they’re bad or good. Flash Gordon is one such film—one that defies all logic and has the staying power of bronze and herpes combined. through no fault of our own, we live on the same planet as Flash Gordon, and there’s nothing we can do about it. the film is a bastion of bonkers visuals, porno-grade acting, nonsensical writing…
