Second time I've watched this film and yet I still don't really what to say about it. It's definitely the most experimental from Lynch. It's hard to get through but it's definitely worth it in the end. It's an experience, just like a dream, a nightmare and a beautiful dream at the same time.

4/5

I'm a big fan of Lynch. But this one I didn't like much. It just seemed to get lost in itself towards the end, if you know what I mean? I dunno how to put it really, too "Lynchian" for it's own good? lol. I dunno, it just seemed to lose focus I thought.

The tag line is hilarious though. No ****! :funny:

I felt like that the first time I've watched this. I thought that it was tedious, overstuff with Lynchian elements and so many scenes was meaningless. It's like Mulholland Drive on acid. Incoherence coherence, so to speak.

This time however I just sit back and just enjoy the ride but I agree it does loses steam towards the end, also I'm not a big fan of digital in this.

That is a line that Lynch would trundle out whenever anyone asked him what his films were about, as he never likes to tell folk what his films are 'about', preferring them to discover them by themselves, and take away their own impressions.

He said that same line when asked what 'Lost Highway' was about on a US chat show, 'A man in trouble.'
I guess someone must have asked him for a tagline and he threw them that one, lol.
 
Super 8 - 6.5/10

Kids walk into their own imagination to experience the coming-of-age process. Ever heard of that concept before? I thought some inspired scenes worked on their own, but most didn't. Abrams can only get hackneyes performances from his actors to fit the boring archetypes, minus the fat kid, and his shooting style is oleaginious. Not much of a fun experience, walked out with a headache. It's earnest, but so much of it felt loose to me.

X-Men First Class (second time)

Still love it but on the second viewing I realized that the movie has serious pacing issues. It moves by way too fast for it's own good and the editing isn't as good as it should be.
 
Green Lantern: Emerald Knights - 8/10

I just saw that too. I give it a 7/10. Not much of a real story so much as a meet & greet for the uninitiated to the GL mythos, but it does alright at that.
 
Shark Attack 3: Megalodon

No Country for Old Men

I think it's because it goes from early Xavier/Magneto stuff to then together in the CIA, then to the mansion training, and finally the Cuban Missile Crisis sequence. Three very specific places. So it may feel like it goes faster. At least that's how I felt. But I didn't have problems with it.

I think I liked it more than you did, but I kind of agree with a lot of your points to one degree or another. Except for the style being oleaginous. The only time I got that feeling was during the [blackout]train wreck[/blackout] scene, which was so overblown it was almost a joke.
 
Easy A.

I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed it
