I went back to the same flea market and got even more dvds. I guess I missed this one the last time I was there but I’m really glad I found it. I love this film sm. I also love seeing all the main menu screens for these films. they’re all unique and go along with the mood of the film. also just something you don’t get to see on streaming.

wow this was so good. I love films like this that have a quiet and mellow tone to them. soundtrack was also perfect with my bloody valentine. I’ve been wanting to watch this for a while now, super glad I found this one

another dvd from the flea market trip. the dialogue in this was so funny

trainspotting but in salt lake city 

also dreaming by blondie playing was so awesome

I hate that little mf with the bat

found the criterion collection dvd of this in a little flea market along with some other great films I haven’t seen yet. It was awesome. I really enjoyed this one

“Then I realize what it is… there’s a man. In the back of this place.”

I had known about this film for a while before finally watching but I really had no idea what it was about. All that I knew about it was that Naomi Watts starred in it and it David Lynch was the director, which was enough for me to go ahead and watch it. I’m actually really glad I went into this blind. I think it gave me the opportunity to experience the entirety of it on my own.

 This film is VERY immersive, which I part of the reason I liked it so much. It draws you in from the very beginning, using its unfamiliar atmosphere to keep you on edge. The story jumps around to lots of different characters and places, but not once does it make you question why you’re watching it. It keeps you engaged with almost a feeling of discomfort, just waiting for what will come next. You don’t fully understand what’s happening until the very end when all these different pieces finally connect and we get the big picture. 

This film is also very disturbing at times. That scene when they find the body in the bed disturbed the shit of me, and it was awesome. “The man” scene was also kind of disturbing too. That scene is probably one of my favorite scenes in the whole film. Such a short scene but it’s so entertaining and unsettling.

This film is really great. The disturbing parts are mixed with the beautiful parts perfectly and its such a fun ride to watch.

definitely liked this one more than the first one. or maybe I’m just a sucker for summer camp slashers idk

This review may contain spoilers.

kate and simons deaths were very unnecessary

I love this film so much

It takes you on this ride through old hollywood and introduces you to these characters who are all just going about their lives. Then, very slowly and quietly, the story introduces the Manson family and creates an unsettling tone to go with them. And then before you know it, they are playing a major part in the story.

Then at the climax- as the Mansons go on a hunt to kill the movie stars who filled their heads with murder, they are stopped (and brutally killed) by the main characters, who unknowingly just saved their neighbor, Sharon Tate. And as the movie comes to an end, as everyone goes their own way, the title of the movie fades in- “One Upon A Time… In Hollywood” and then you feel sad because it reminds you that none of this was real, and Sharon Tate wasn’t saved by these fictional main characters, she really was murdered. All of this really was just “once upon a time”. It was all just a fairytale.

FINALLY watched this

this soundtrack is so heavenly

this feels like something you’d wake up to as a kid in the middle of the night after cartoon network had switched over to adult swim 

for only being 17 minutes, it’s still entertaining and the dialogue is amazing

David Lynch had the ability to make you feel completely disturbed and devastated by a scene while also capturing it beautifully. The imagery and ambience gives all his films an iconic dream-like feeling. I’m honestly disappointed in myself for not getting into his work earlier.

Before his ing, I had heard of a lot of his films and had seen them while scrolling through hbo max and another streaming apps, but I didn’t know what any of them were about so I never got into watching them. The only piece of his work that I had ever watched was Twin Peaks. I first watched it probably almost two years ago and I thought it was a pretty good show, but for some reason I just wasn't getting hooked on it. I would think about watching it and then decide not to and just end up watching a movie or something, so I never finished it.

Now earlier this year, as I open instagram, I see a post from the letterboxd about how David Lynch has ed away. I felt sad because even though I hadn’t seen the majority of his work, I still knew from other people that he was an amazing director and person. But that was the thing, “from other people”. I had no idea how amazing he really was, and that didn’t sit right with me. So a little later, I do some research to see how many of his films I could watch on streaming, and there I see that max has one of them called Blue Velvet. I honestly couldn’t tell you if I had heard of it before then I don’t , but I do seeing that Kyle MacLachlan was in it and knowing him from Twin Peaks, so I decided I would watch it that night. And wow I was blown away. His way of filmmaking was something I had never seen before, and I think that was part of the reason I didn’t really understand it, it was so different I kinda thought it was strange- definitely not bad but strange. Also know that I think about it, I probably need to rewatch Blue Velvet. But after I seeing that I knew I needed to go back and watch the entirety of Twin Peaks. 

Now I’m here, just finished the first two seasons (although it probably took longer than it should’ve, and yes I’ll be watching the return very soon) and now finished the amazing film that goes along with it. The whole story of Twin Peaks fascinates me on a level no other show or really any piece of media has before. I’m really glad I started Twin Peaks again and I’m glad I watched this.

Anyways if it wasn’t clear by this long ass review, this was really good and I would definitely recommend

I don’t care what anyone says this was awesome

I’m actually speechless
