Part 17; The distant scream in the woods when Laura suddenly disappears still gives me chills + gets me misty-eyed. The universe suffers when good people are snuffed out

138) THE HOT ROCK

(1972 dir. Peter Yates) Date Seen: April 3 2026

Who wouldn't think they were jinxed if all of their crew started to botch really basic shit at every turn.. a brisk & funny primer for SNEAKERS (1992)

TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN

PARTS 1 - 4

(2017 dir. David Lynch) 2nd Viewing: April 1 2026

MOMA 85dB theatrical cut

1. MY LOG HAS A MESSAGE FOR YOU

2. STARS TURN & A TIME PRESENTS ITSELF

3. CALL FOR HELP

4. …BRINGS BACK SOME MEMORIES

My 2nd watch-thru of season3 as a whole, though technically this is my first time seeing any of "The Return" on the big screen. At home I've seen episodes 2 and 3 probably close to 4 times now like a proper obsessive weirdo.

HOW TO SHOOT A GHOST

(2026 dir. Charlie Kaufman) Date Seen: March 31 2026

this is the first Kaufman i've been on the fence about. Thankfully it's short subject, because 50% of it is sort of exhausting.

134) HEAT LIGHTNING

(1934 dir. Mervyn LeRoy) Date Seen: March 31 2026

Only discovering this just now, It's crazy how modern & alive the film still feels. Lush photography & tense desert atmosphere captivated me right off the bat. Shot on location @ Victorville, Cali

133) THE HOUSEMAID

(2025 dir. Paul Feig) Date Seen: March 30 2026

How did Feig get good at directing all of a sudden? Did he take a course? There's some really smooth stuff peppered throughout this. Better than your average Yuppies in Trouble Lifetime filler.

132) THE

CHRONOLOGY OF WATER

(2025 dir. Kristen Stewart) 2nd Viewing: March 30 2026

K. Stew really did an exceptional job on her debut. With cine-craft that's equal parts Debra Granik and Gus Van Sant.. Also, Imogen was snubbed for Lead Actress.

131) IN COLD LIGHT

(2026 dir. Maxime Giroux) Date Seen: March 29 2026

Never mind that I've a hard time buying Maika Monroe breaking this type of bad; The jittery neo-noir vibe the film's shot in feels like somebody goofing on the late Tony Scott. It's a bit overkill for this specific story.

130) ANDRÉ IS AN IDIOT

(2026 dir. Tony Benna) Date Seen: March 28 2026

Ricciardi seems like he was a good dude & my heart goes out to his family. I wish I didn't find this brand of documentary filmmaking so annoying.

129) ALPHA

(2026 dir. Julia Ducournau) Date Seen: March 27 2026

Happy to report that Julia continues to disturb & confound in her own unique way. Even if i did feel like this had some pacing issues.. maybe a bit of a drop-off in quality is inevitable after the masterly high of TITANE.

Ms. Farahani is still one of the greatest actresses around.
