    Late Night with the Devil

    I will say that David Dalmastchian was really good in this and I hope I see him in more movies. However, I didn't like this movie. The AI usage really soured it for me. I can't get over that and I refuse to accept it as something normal in art. Hire actual artists. I also found this movie kind of boring. It was really repetitive and felt waaaaay longer than its runtime. If they're going to use a documentary framing…

    I don’t necessarily know what I would rate this movie, but I did enjoy myself overall. There were definitely times I felt like it was dragging out.

    I don’t necessarily think it added anything new, but I don’t think every movie has to add something new and it’s not a bad watch. 

    I don’t really get the Cronenberg comparisons I’ve seen. It’s only Cronenberg if you only think of him as “body horror guy” and don’t think about his movies any further than that.

    This is one of my favorite movies and is the first of David Lynch's films I ever watched. Given the news today, I decided to rewatch it and I cried as hard as I did the first time. Thank you for sharing your art with us, Mr. Lynch.
