This is a beautiful tribute.
kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone.
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

Do I like it more this time? Hmmm, maybe kinda. Didn’t feel as overlong as it when I first saw it, which I’d expect from a second viewing, now that I’ve got a better sense of its pace. But, honestly, still found it derivative and unnecessarily convoluted. The shadow of The Dark Knight can…

Also still a banger. It’s (only just) the second longest film in the series, but also feels like the one that’s got the most out of its runtime. I appreciate that it’s maybe not something that everyone would regard as a plus, but it feels like it’s managed to work in a full season’s worth of…

It’s good, and the idea of their tech repeatedly breaking thereby forcing them to improvise is decent, but it does feel like some of the beats work better on paper than in practice (e.g. the sandstorm chase). And Renner’s character does feel at kind of a loose end.

Paul Costello @paulcinephile.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
Still works like gangbusters. That cold open is a great, offering Tom a good chance to showcase range by way of Ethan’s attempts to bargain, threaten, beg and bluff against Hoffman, who is excellent as the bad guy.

Paul Costello @paulcinephile.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
Nonsense. Truly just does not work. Even in the moments when craft is on display, it’s in service of a script that was wrong-headed from the start, and the wrong people are in playing it all out.

Paul Costello @paulcinephile.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
Still a banger. De Palma predictably directs it like he gives a shit. Also, forgot that whole midpoint heist sequence is almost completely silent. One of those “don’t think you could do that now” kinda things.

Just thinking of the Gotham City henchmen who have to keep changing gangs depending on whether or not their boss is in Arkham or not. Go from working for Harvey Dent and wearing a two-tone ski-mask to working for Jervis Tetch and having to dress up as a rabbit or a playing card.

a contender for my favorite behind-the-scenes photo: The Hunt for Red October crew built their submarine set(s) on top of a hydraulic gimbal, 45 ft above the stage floor, capable of tilting 45 degrees to mimic a sub's movements - Sean Connery said it made him seasick. even the gauges inside worked.

Black Horror is so powerful, and Tony Todd gave it an unforgettable voice. There will never be another like him. He moved mountains and shook people to their very core. He was a PRESENCE. He will always be just behind the mirror. I will say his name. Rest in Peace, Tony Todd.
