me: sean penn and laura linney are insane in this movie!

my 86 year old grandmother from boston: you just don't know what it's like to live in southie.

This is my ideal living situation

such a fantastic examination of a single year in nyc history that changed everything. manages to escape the trap of nostalgia and the fear of the daily news which is no small feat in a media landscape obsessed with either extreme regarding ny in the 70s. most importantly: fuck dick cheney and fuck donald rumsfeld!

Truffaut wondered decades ago if it was possible to make a truly anti-war film. by portraying the thing you despise do you not in some way glamorize it? The blood and guts, bullets and artillery shells? House of Tolerance might not be a war film, but God does it feel like one. In a world of Anoras and Hustlers that can't help but show a neon soaked badass version of sex work House of Tolerance feels like getting your head bashed in.

haven't rewatched this since my first go around as a lynch obsessed 18 year old. shocking just how brutal this movie is - stands next to FWWM as a lynch film that makes your soul cry out

viscerally upsetting in an unexpected way.

incredible how much koyaanisquatsi was inspired by this and I didn't even know. I'm still asking how they did some of this a whole century later

knowing the backstory of Egoyan's insane creative vision here elevates the movie tenfold. Also a fantastic study in multimedia filmmaking that we rarely see now - should out to the vancouver opera <3

got a chance to see this in Harlem with a bunch of cool people (including the director) - an optimistic, hopeful view of what has been a woefully under-covered conflict. Meddeb focuses on the possibility of a new progressive Sudan that is absent from much of the conversation on the suffering currently found there

need my life to be as freeing and lovely as the dance numbers here

I taught them to aim and they shot me.

Insanely good. Laughably good. So good it makes you wonder if this was even ethical to film.

finally finally sat down to watch this and it did not disappoint - perfect movie to end the month of love with lol

[In order for nonviolence to work] your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none. None.

who could drive the curse out of this family? These people are glued to ruin

this happened to my friend lily chou chou too...

vaguely Mike mills esque in its use of archival images etc which I love - and the POV is so bold it deserved a cinematography nod

proof that anyone can write a script

patrick swayze as Vida Boehme take it out its hurtinnggggg

so much here that I don't even know what do with

the lynch I always forget I like this much - ultra indulgent in a similar way to wild at heart but without any of the romance to counterbalance it. But really nothing else matters when you have maybe the best character intro of all time in Patricia Arquettes intro to Lou Reed

Watched on Friday February 14, 2025.

I did fall asleep for a bit but I know it was a really good movie because everytime I woke up I was mad at myself

profoundly disturbing and harrowing.

if nobody does anything, who's to stop it from happening anywhere?

when people ask us what we did in the war we have to be able to say we fought back

18th time watching but first with parents and they too were moved

not meant for human eyes 🫠

Torres is obviously the glue that holds this thing together - not as good as its obvious comparisons (the official story comes to mind) but still reaches some great emotional highs. plus, I love looking at beautiful Brazilian mansions

really interested in how david lynch thinks electricity is evil
