I wrote this a few months after David Lynch passed away. I will love him forever, and I feel like the way that he approached life fundamentally reshaped mine for the better. I love the way that he thought about art, and about people, and cherishing life's small joys.

Jimmy Stewart haunts the work of Lynch. His everyman qualities and goodwill in his pre-WWII films & then the shades of darkness that came up when he returned home is all over the characters he asked MacLachlan to play. Stewart is the perfect Lynch actor. It's a shame they were on different timelines

The trailer for the new Naked Gun movie is one of the most painfully unfunny things I’ve ever seen.

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical.

The cats had a fight. One drew blood! Of course they’re friends again now. But I’m having to Google “how to get blood out of a carpet.” Quietly terrified the Police are about to turn up.

Had a couple of chatters in my screening of The Monkey. As it says in Deuteronomy better to cut your tongue out than chat through the film.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler and he said that the wild owls near the sanctuary where he worked worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.
