In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
I just want them to realize we don't need to remake every single thing, and not everything needs to have a sequel. Some things are just fine as they are.
Or at least left with mystery, and the ability to hold our own interpretation (and then discuss it with others endlessly, making it a shared discovery).

This post just unlocked a weird sense memory of me watching Twin Peaks straight through for the first time when a certain song you know was very popular. Distinctly remember hearing "heart in a blender" while driving home from work to watch more Peaks.
I just found out today that human brains in The Matrix were originally supposed to be part of some massive processing unit for the machines, but the decision was made that the American public was too stupid to get that and that's how we got the shitty battery thing 😭
Artists who respect the audience intellect (and are allowed by the money people to do so) are a treat. Everything Everywhere and Severance and Mrs. Davis owe a nod to Lynch.
Not me, I need to know the entire detailed backstory of that one kinda cool-looking character who got like 4 minutes of screentime before dying unceremoniously
