Now, if only we could get the Coens to go full George Lucas and give full digital restorations with new scenes and recuts to their works. Imagine how much better Barton Fink could be with some of that sweet, sweet CGI!

Spoiler: Barton Fink spoiler, kind of

Mundt shot first!

I don't think it will necessarily appeal to everyone, but personally I thought Turning Red was a very fun and charming movie!

My daughter is about to turn 13, so we were definitely the target audience, but we all really enjoyed it.

The Adam Project was about what you'd expect with the cast.

My kids loved it. I was not feeling well so I was in bed while they watched it. Win-win.

Mulholland Drive rules. That is all.

Nothing against the movie which is fantastic but I kinda wish ABC had picked up the pilot. An early 2000s David Lynch TV show based in LA could have been something special.

This post reminded me that I still have never watched Twin Peaks. I've tried to start it on a couple different occasions but just never stick with it I'm horrible at keeping up with TV shows in general. But I feel like it's a big blind spot with Lynch I need to correct at some point.

Once that first season gets going it is just dealing heat the whole time.

This honestly looks kind of good.

A good chunk of season 2 is not very good, and I probably won't include it in a rewatch, but it's at least interesting to watch once.

Turning Red and the Adam Project are both movies that should have been in theaters too IMO. There are a real lack of family movies in theaters right now (they're still trotting out Sing 2 out of desperation) and The Adam Project probably could have been a slow grower hit given its niche is also lacking much representation. It's a bummer, I get the reason why for the Adam Project at least (Netflix owned) but Disney's decision to shelve a third straight Pixar movie from a theater release sucks.

Hard agree. But the stuff that’s good is *great*.

There is a *lot* to be said about what Disney's decision not to put Turning Red in theaters says about them as a company. Especially considering what we now know about the movie's production and Disney's recent support of a certain bill.

Just got back from watching The Batman.

It's one hell of a film. Similar gritty vibes as Sin City with a much darker approach compared to the Christian Bale films.

Fantastic car chase. A real detective approach to the storyline. Chillingly dark villain.

Superb stuff.

Agreed I absolutely loved it! The darkest vigilante superhero blockbuster ever made

I need to revisit it; it was my first Lynch and sixteen year-old me didn't like it. I glommed onto plottier Lynch like Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks. I think TP The Return tuned me into the right frequency, though, and now all the things I disliked about Lynch (purposely stilted performances, odd mannerisms, deliberate digressions) are some of my favorite aspects of his work.

Mulholland drive is a perfect bridge between 'plottier' Lynch, and then the fucking crazy stuff (Inland Empire, The Return). So if you liked S3 of TP you will like Mulholland Drive! Perfect companion piece with Lost Highway.
