Der Fan (1982) Parasocial relationships before the invention of social media. Obsession eventually evolves into the need for consumption both figuratively and literally.

Scent of a Spell (1984) When women are treated like expendable objects, the dehumanization might lead to destruction. Sometimes love isn’t enough.

Furious (1984) Traveling in the spiritual void can be dangerous! Wacked out martial arts with an ASMR whispering Buddha statue and…chickens? There’s also a lengthy exposition dump from a talking pig.

The Brother From Another Planet (1984) The immigrant experience through the eyes of a black alien. Joe Morton‘s silent but expressive performance carries the entire film.

Cooley High (1975) “We were friends, a long time ago. Laughin’, rappin’, chasin’ girls, Obeying no law, except the law of caring. Basketball days and high nights, No tomorrows, unable to remember yesterday. We live for today….”

Me watching a cheap B-movie from the ‘80s: “This has better lighting than every single Netflix exclusive”

Eve’s Bayou (1997) “Often father and daughter look down on mother together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate.” —Bonnie Burstow

Deep Cover (1992) You deal in vice, you pay the price. A heightened neo-noir, stylized and surreal. Fishburne’s elegant, poetic performance is the glue that holds it together. The lighting and cinematography is especially impressive, bathing the players in saturated primary blue and red.

At first I was bummed about the small character limit on here, but now I enjoy the challenge of expressing my thoughts on movies more succinctly. I have a ton of other places where I can yap to my content, heh.

The Straight Story (1999) “The worst part of being old is remembering when you was young.” A trip through Americana, with zero irony, just love for the folks who live there. People say it’s “not Lynchian” but dewy-eyed adoration for small town innocence is one of the most Lynchian things ever.

Great podcast covering David Lynch and his legacy!

Here’s my review for Companion! Although I was definitely entertained, I was slightly disappointed that it didn’t dive deeper into the social commentary that it sets up in the first act. Definitely worth a watch though, mainly for Sophie Thatcher’s performance.

Rabbits (2002) Everything is off but the laugh track still keeps on going. It’s somehow simultaneously comforting and ominous. Lynch was the master of mixing disparate emotions and elements, creating an emulsion every time.

Companion (2025) Flirts with deeper themes about love and objectification, but ultimately settles for thrills and entertainment. There can never be too many films about the dangers of the “nice guy” though.

I contributed an essay for this release of Gushing Prayer, coming in March from Terror Vision! It’s a provocative and experimental pinku film (also the first time I have written about one on a release, which I was stoked about). www.terror-vision.com/store/gushin...
