    Every 5 minutes I was expecting to go back to that damn dinner.

    Funky little sub 90 piece. Dupieux really knows how to make something quick and fun yet complete. Real restraint. He always goes so close to complete insanity without really stepping over that threshold and it is wildly impressive. Every situation is kooky.

    From the first meeting with Salvador when it takes him 5 minutes to walk down a hotel hallway, i knew id feel insane while watching this. He does this thing where he makes you feel insane for thinking anything will happen or that something is finally finished.

    Fun time.

    The script stinks though, and story is just overdone but somehow this is also a bad variation of it. Theres cool concepts but it just doesn’t work at all. It builds up these kills and then…

    Absolutely loved this film. 10:30am, full IMAX theater, used PTO, with the fellas, knew that Buffalo Wild Wings & Barbie were just around the corner. Absolutely ideal circumstances. 

    There were so many movie defining scenes in this film but the auditorium scene after the test stuck with me. The sound editing was exceptionally haunting. The slight aberration behind Robert as he is realizing just what he has done, and its all foreshadowed earlier in the film. Really great stuff.

    David Lynch has the exceptional power of making his audience feel like psychopaths while trying analyze his films in real time. Trying to make sense of his story telling technique as it goes along feels like a herculean effort.

    That being said. It is so refreshing to have someone like him around. His films truly feel like art rather than a story because theres no hand holding. He leaves it open for the viewer’s interpretation and its just real nice…
