>he original “Twin Peaks,” which I watched devotedly when it was first broadcast, in 1990, was television that offered the thrill of a new David Lynch movie every week. From the very start it felt like one person’s brainchild, less in its storytelling than in its details, its tone, its moods, its images. “Twin Peaks” seemed to deepen and broaden, to extend and plumb the cinematic universe of “Blue Velvet,” making use of the devices of serial television as a source of invention—until it fell into the narrative lockstep of serial television. The inventions became devices, and then self-clichés, and I stopped watching.
>The first two episodes of “Twin Peaks: The Return,” broadcast on Showtime last night, offer only slight reassurance. Though they’re directed by Lynch, they play mainly as Lynchoid, like the work of a skilled and dutiful imitator of Lynch, who borrows elements of the original series and has also, in the meantime, attentively watched the Coen brothers’ “Fargo” (1996) but hasn’t thought much about renewing the art of directing.
>Almost all of the first episode and half of the second is exposition, and Lynch, who wrote them with Mark Frost (as he did the first two seasons), doesn’t do much to disguise, adorn, or enliven it. Lynch hasn’t directed a feature film since “Inland Empire” (released in 2006); I don’t know whether he filmed “The Return” sequentially but the first hour and a half feels like a filmmaker under cobwebs, working not merely tentatively but conventionally, following patterns rather than inventing, recording and divulging information rather than creating.
god i love this man
Who is this guy?

He hasn't seen all of season 2 so his opinion is completely worthless.

Will you see it? If not why?
I gave up on Marvel after Dr Strange. I'll probably finish up the Avengers series, but that's about it
No. I can't identify with the main character and I don't feel represented in this movie.
Daily reminder that blade runner works best as a film if Deckard is a human

>Implying it doesn't work better if there's a secret class of androids who are not even aware that they are androids used by an indifferent police force to carry out dirty and dangerous jobs
>>83101386
But who made them(gosling included) if what he's hunting are supposedly the top of the line replicants?
>>83101240
No. It works best if it is ambiguous.
I can't stop watching this musikino
This is the third day in a row.. wtf how do I stop
there's a lot to like about the film but the songs and the dancing are both pretty poor. lol at emma stone's dancing, what the fuck...

ridley scott was always a hac---
Ridley Scott was always a hack. Gladiator is proof of that. Shit-tier movie.
is there anyone who actually believes ridley has always been a hack?
most directors have good and bad movies. ridley is fucking awesome when he has a good script, something both prometheus and alien c didnt have unfortunately.
>>83101103
>Scott made good movies too!
>>post doesn't contain Alien or Blade Runner
>Movie set in WWI
>Picture of Soviet T-28 tank from 1930's
Nice going..
>people call kino like man of steel shit
>people praise wonder woman, starring a jew who looks nothing like the character
interesting timeline
>>83101094
It's almost as if Wonder Woman collaborated in another human conflicts aside from WW1.
>>83101172
Its almost like you didnt watch BvS or wonderwoman
Whats the point of casting a chink in your movie if she isn't cute?
I mean who wants to see frumpy fat women on the silver screen?

I'm glad there's a new Pirates movie coming out so Kermode can destroy it. His review of Pirates 3 is legendary.
Have you ever seen a monster in a movie that was intended to be scary or intimidating or whatever, but you ended up finding it kind of sexual?
yes

I don't think that's what OP was talking about

Not sure if /co/ related...
>>83100548
Until they start making some tie-ins, its not.
That said, I can't wait. Love me some Universal Monsters.
The Mummy looks shit, though. I hope it'll tank just like King Arthur did and smother this abomination in its crib.
Also, not /co/ related.
Is pic related worth a watch?
No, it falls to pieces towards the end of season 2 and never recovers.
Yes, still the best show ever made and will likely never be beaten.
>>83100503
Yes, but try not to get too caught up in the mystery/sf bullshit, because the show will disappoint you in those regards. People say "it's the characters that matter!" like an ironic joke excuse for the plot being a mess, but that really is the case here if you want to appreciate the show better.
Despite that, avoid spoilers still. You should at least have some fun discovering things for yourself.

Reminder that this was supposed to be a Tom Cruise movie
The scene where he finds Mara dead. This guy could act. The uncut raw footage they included as a DVD extra is gut wrenching.

Hillary Supporters: The Movie
What powered Voyager's holodecks? They often talked about Voyager's hologrid as an "independent subsystem", but they never showed what generated the power, like an ore processor or whatever. And those episodes where main power is offline but the holoprojectors are still operational or vice versa show the power systems to be incompatible, as otherwise they could share and ration energy by using transformers to convert the differing voltages and the system wouldn't be, as stated, offline.

It ran on B'Elanna's charisma, and the chemistry that she had with Tom Paris. So basically more than a Sun can generate.
How'd you like Season 4, anon?
It was good.
>>83100337
It was alright
it was decent
