Maxwell Lord posted:The heavy theory crowd should totally watch some late period WCW. Vince Russo, as inept as he is, keeps trying all this weird complicated meta poo poo. Wrestlers "not following the script", talking about jobbing, it's... Interesting. Nothing about it is interesting, it's all loving terrible and confusing and dumb, because none of it is real, but this part is pretending to be real, and now we're acknowledging that that part is fake but this OTHER part, this is totally real, but then it turns out that's fake too, it's asinine and stupid and Hogan legitimately quitting over being called a "bald son of a bitch" in a worked shoot is the funniest goddamn thing. WCW can suck my rear end. And Souled Out is a neat concept that stems from Eric Bischoff being a goddamn idiot and then, like all of his ideas, turns out to be dog poo poo. edit Also I don't know who the heavy theory crowd is.

I make a point to drive 20 minutes from my house to go to Chipotle in a neighborhood where there is no other decent Mexican food because I legitimately think it tastes awesome  But I get cravings for it the same as I get cravings for the authentic Mexican places around here. It's not like I'm gonna limit myself to eat at one and not the other. They're both good for different reasons. I've been to a bunch of dingy looking Mexican restaurants, both here at home and in other states, under the assumption that they have the more authentic food, and they've almost universally been dogshit.

Mine will always be Mulholland Drive. That movie has bounced around in my head more than any other movie I've ever seen. It took me years just to figure out what I even thought of that movie. I eventually realized that the reason it stuck with me was because it's one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. EDIT: I do wish we had more of a glimpse of its world, though. It's one of those movies like Inglourious Basterds or Dick Tracy where I feel like I've peeped at its inner workings through a keyhole. I know a good movie is supposed to leave me wanting more, but these movies leave me wanting a gently caress of a lot more.

All the Rocky chat made me rewatch Rocky IV. It is the platonic ideal of "cheap cash-in." I had somehow completely forgotten that it is 10 minutes of plot and 80 minutes of montage. But Rocky wins the Cold War by absorbing approximately 300 haymakers to the face and then managing to throw about 100 of his own in the 16th round, so it still rules.

He's a goddamn household name in the film industry. Lynch was a household name, sure, but Inland Empire didn't exactly set the world on fire critically or commercially, and it's been like thirteen years since Mulholland Drive. I'd be wary of giving him money if I were concerned with the bottom line, too.

I would absolutely love it if Lynch went into comics. I really, really wish it was more of a norm to see filmmakers pull a Joss Whedon/Mac Rauch/Mitch Hurwitz and continue their stories in the form of comics and/or novels when budgets preclude them from telling their stories on screen. I would do horrible, debasing things to see Lynch continue Twin Peaks in graphic novel form.

Whedon doesn't actually write the Buffy/Angel comics, as far as I'm aware, as evidenced by them coming out on time. It's just another property that was licensed to IDW. I'm about to start synchtubing a movie called Deception of a Generation. It's an 80s "documentary" on how cartoons are Satan's way of corrupting our youth. You should watch it with me edit He-Man is an occultic forerunner. BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Apr 13, 2014 |

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:I need to watch Inland Empire again. I cannot for the life of me wrap my head around it, it's just so bizarre. Wikipedia posted:Lynch shot the film without a complete screenplay. Instead, he handed each actor several pages of freshly written dialogue each day.[3] In a 2005 interview, he described his feelings about the shooting process: "I've never worked on a project in this way before. I don’t know exactly how this thing will finally unfold... This film is very different because I don’t have a script. I write the thing scene by scene and much of it is shot and I don’t have much of a clue where it will end. It’s a risk, but I have this feeling that because all things are unified, this idea over here in that room will somehow relate to that idea over there in the pink room."[8] I really, really liked his album from last year, The Big Dream.

Can't someone make a movie where Melissa McCarthy isn't a horrible piece of poo poo? Like, I see her actually act when she needs to, and is totally convincing..but gently caress all of her characters man. gently caress them all so hard. I just watched The Heat and she was such a horrible person throughout that I had zero sympathy for her. I didn't feel bad for Bullock's character dealing with her either because she apparently became stupid once she met up with McCarthy. I don't know. It wasn't that funny to me. Characters who are terrible people can work, but you have to play them perfectly. Kenny Powers works because everyone hates him, and he doesn't control a single thing. McCarthy's character doesn't work because she bullies people around and takes over everything and everyone. It's not funny. It's obnoxious. Her first scene turned me off of her character entirely. She had no business loving that guy's life up because he wants sex and is lacking in logic or class. So what? Unless her character's back story was her previous husband did the same thing...but it wasn't, so there was no point other than being needlessly mean spirited. I don't get her comedy. I don't like these gross mean people she plays because they're always set up the same. Massive piece of poo poo, but hey, if you tolerate her, you'd realize that she's actually a broken person or some poo poo. No. You tell me that first so when she's acting like a piece of poo poo, I don't have to wish her character would get hit by a bus. Sorry. TLDR: Melissa McCarthy should do more then being a horrible piece of poo poo in movies.
