wild at heart was love at first sight. the botched dune i still like in spite of the butchering. the elephant man, just incredible. lost highway, a bit too dark for me. mulholland drive, took me a couple of watches to crack it, i love it. the first season of twin peaks was great. blue velvet is fucking unforgettable--frank booth is a demon

oftentimes good art is fucking boring. it's not always entertaining. the threshold varies. i like both art and entertainment. it's hard to find both i balance

there is a thai guy who makes these celebrated movies, full of real brown people or whatever which "ethnic realism' (i guess?) demands. he works with non-actors! apitchapong something is the name of the director, look him up. when i see his movies i recognize the quality people see in them, i look at sll his prizes, but my adhd brain is unable to engage the lack of sufficient stimulation, and i snooze promptly

terrence malick--another purported genius i must watch in segments. some beautiful images in them, the narratives don't cut it for my attention requirements. sounds like a navel gazing boomer to me but i gotta admit the shots are fantastic. maybe if he shut up i'd like it more

a lot of woman-made movies are slow. im always yelling at the screen for them to move faster and stop lingering so much on nothing

then again i watched the entire 3+ hours of jeanne dielman in one sitting *the second time i watched it* and it was much more fucking thrilling than the first one which i watched in 3 parts (i have an idea about why is that). oh man, if you like "reality", watch jeanne dielman. dont read anything about it, no synopsis or reviews, just go for it and see what happens
