Laura Citarella's Argentinean masterpiece is a slow exploration of love, the stories we tell about ourselves, the stories we tell about each other, and cryptids. The centerpiece is the disappearance of Laura (played by Laura Paredes, who also helped write the film); at the start, we follow her boyfriend Rafael and her colleague/assistant Ezequiel in their search for her. This search, however, leads only to many more layers of story.

Its native inhabitants, the Fremen, have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah who would lead them to true freedom. This post is for the 1984 adaptation by the late David Lynch.

17th century France! A grimy place of plague of brigands. But situated in the countryside, a charming convent where we meet Benedetta, a young and devout nun whose relationship to Christ is unusually personal, and whose relationship with a novitiate is definitely not something Mother Superior needs to know about. It's Benedetta!, a movie whose title does not end with an exclamation point, but ought to.

Night Visions is a short-lived Twilight Zone wannabe anthology series from the early 00s hosted by Henry Rollins. This particular episode (which you can watch on youtube here) is an especially fun and creative 42 minutes of cheesy outre television and I think more people should know about it.

[TRAILER] A dairy conglomerate hires David Rutherford (Michael Moriarty), an FBI man turned industrial saboteur, to investigate a popular new product called "The Stuff," a new dessert product that is blowing ice cream sales out of the water. Nobody knows how it's made or what's in it, but people are lining up to buy it. It's a delicious flavor to die for in Larry Cohen's wild satire of food industry capitalism.

I feel Rebecca Solnit may explain Graham as well as the oligarchs out and about today: "Elites tend to believe in a venal, selfish, and essentially monstrous version of human nature, which I sometimes think is their own human nature. I mean, people don't become incredibly wealthy and powerful by being angelic, necessarily. They believe... [more]

Another thing that points to Helena being the one on the severed floor that I was thinking about while lying in bed last night, is that a severed person is not going to find a nature documentary "boring"- they've never seen that stuff. They wouldn't even find their own apartment boring- it's all new, and it's all clues to who they are.... [more]

Before we start, I want to plug WTF Just Happened Today? as a one-stop, sourced and fairly sober list of things that happened each day of Trump 1 (and now Trump 2). I am a paid subscriber and Matt does a great job of giving you a way to avoid the memory hole. It's a one-man operation but is well-done and belies the name. [view]

I really don't think that Helena is posing as an innie. I think she's just ashamed of her outie. In response to Mark saying that Ms Casey is his wife, Helly says words to the effect that innies are not the same as outies - meaning, on the one hand, just because Mark's outie married Miss Casey's outie, that doesn't mean that innie Mark is married to...

I'm comfortable saying the movie is emphatically not about eugenics, mostly because the movie is 84 minutes long and after less than four minutes, not a bit of it could even be uncharitably interpreted as having the slightest thing to do with that take. The opening prologue is just a bunch of silly yadda yadda to set up the premise. I mean,... [more]
