Mike Miley, the author of an upcoming book on David Lynch, astutely explains why Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is his greatest film (and I agree):

35 years. The mystery only deepens.

That thing when your friend & past #WatchWithJen pod guest @mikemiley.bsky.social sends you an envelope full of rockin' David Lynch swag along with his brand new extensively researched analytical film text so you take the most surrealistic David Lynch selfie you possibly can. ;)

This weekend I'm checking into @overlookfilmfest.bsky.social. Friday I'm introducing the short films of David Lynch Sunday I'm moderating a panel with horror writers @alysarden.bsky.social, @adamcesare.bsky.social, @alexjennings.bsky.social & @gradyhendrix.bsky.social See you there!

Very excited to see my essay on OBLIVION in this fantastic issue.

Cory Booker is on the Senate floor explaining that while it is undeniably the work of a cinematic artist, Twin Peaks: The Return should be considered a work of episodic television. Even though it is undeniably cinematic, it is nevertheless divided into 18 episodes of more or less equal length.

'Heathers' was released on this day in 1989. From the archives, a look back at its reception and influence: flavorwire.com/448044/celeb...

Jen’s essay is a great way to revisit this incredible debut.

I finally, *finally* got a copy of this today. I ordered it from local independent bookstore, so it took awhile. But it was worth the wait. @mikemiley.bsky.social
