The Elephant Man bears Lynch’s touch lightly but this movie has his fingerprints all over.

When I have kids I will definitely show them this movie.

John Hurt’s performance resonated with me like wine lingers in your gut.

One of my favorite movies of recent times.

I’ve been developing Muze Radio, reading Stephen King, watching Poor Things, and more.

I’ve been losing weight, playing soccer, developing this site, reading books, and more.

A twisting plot with topical themes woven in elegantly. My main complaint is that they get the characters to tell you things that the story itself explains well enough.

A poor adaptation… too literal.

This is straight up white American masculinity porn. Is pornaganda a word?

I just love the writing.

I really enjoyed watching this in theatres. However, is this not yet another movie that glorifies Dominator culture?

Just so good… a beautiful story about the scary and exciting process of individuating, bridging out of childhood.

The imagery in the opening scenes is fantastic.

I loved the writing, the acting, and the set design.

My two main problems with this movie are Jack Nicholson’s character, Costello, and The Love Interest.

It’s exciting to see Black America represented in a Pixar movie: to hear Charles Mingus and A Tribe Called Quest, to see reflected the work ethic, family values, and sense of community.

It is a movie about him, but it is told through her. It is a story about his failure to connect with others.

At the beginning it’s mostly fancy transitions and strings and choreography and facades and props. Past their yelling, the characters are pretty shallow.
