  Dune 1984

  ★★★ Watched 23 Jul 2021

  It's not altogether too horrible despite probably being Lynch's worst film. A pretty faithful adaptation to the book, however it ultimately boils down to a pretty forgetful fight between good and evil once you take out most of the political elements of the novel.

  An extremely weird entry in Lynch's filmography. I can see why he was attracted to this as it speaks of consciousness, but ultimately, this has very little in terms of humanity or deeper emotion.

  The score…

  I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2020

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Sep 2020

  I really did love this, but I need to watch it again. Everyone was amazing, all of the major four players were phenomenal.

  The first act was extremely funny, like the therapist/doctors scenes in SNY expanded into a full sequence. Ultimately, not sure how to feel about the second half.

  Not sure how to unpack all of the little references either to other films/books/essays or to other in-world events, but I'll probably watch it again within the next week.
