“Well, I have a dream too, but it’s about singing and dancing and making people happy. It’s the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with. And I found a whole group of friends who have the same dream, and that makes us sort of a family.”
Just pure, unbridled joy. And since I hadn’t seen this since I was like 4 or something, I had no clue that it also has SUCH a hopeful…
I cannot believe that, as of about 1:30 today, it was made known to the world that David Lynch has passed away. It’s hard to put into words what he did for cinema, what he did for young filmmakers, and what he did for me. His work with experimental story structures, surreal visuals, heightened sound design, and singularly strange tones changed cinema and television forever. His inspirational style of filmmaking, his success, and his outlook on art have inspired so…
So glad I finally got to see Home Alone 2: Lost in New York!!!!!! :)

A never-ending chain reaction of events. The weighing of one man’s impact on the lives of thousands and thousands of innocent people. The story of J. Robert Oppenheimer.
This film is not a horror film, yet it has one of the most haunting and most chilling scenes I have seen…
I can say with complete confidence that Jonathan Glazer is one of the most talented directors ever. He uses the cinematic medium to its fullest extent. Once the film ended, I took a second to wonder what it would be like if Glazer didn’t direct the project… I think it might have been a colossal failure. The thing that makes this film truly special to me is the atmosphere that Glazer creates. It makes all of the absurd and ambiguous…
