what a great film, in addition to the deep cast, there was Michel Sarrazin, Sussannah York, and that beautiful ass face of Bruce Dern, a slaughterhouse of a movie, a film that made me think a lot as a young teenager when I saw it on TV, when cinema on TV made sense with those "compilations," one a week, of films connected by a theme. Right, a film not for everyone due to its claustrophobia.
But didn’t McCoy's novel share the same name as the film? I believe Gig Young won the Oscar for his performance, and that was also the end of his career as an actor as he lost himself in alcoholism.

...but what the hell kind of reasoning is that, comparing the genius of the inventor or scientific discoverer with that of the artist!!! In their OWN field, anyone can be a genius, even a chef, and in this case the word genius is not overused. For me, Kubrick remains a genius of cinema because he "invented products" that others only dream of. I reiterate: Ludovico's care for Poletti is forced to watch and re-watch the films of the Vanzina brothers until he admits that they are geniuses (in their field, of course...)

The Swell Maps of pirate Nikki Sudden? The comparison to the Butthole Surfers seems very challenging to me... with The Jacobites it sounded like Faces or Rolling Stones... For newbies, I would recommend the nice collection "The best of Wipers and Greg Sage." Regarding the discussion about groups that become famous, I think of the Flaming Lips; back then I bought Hear it is and Oh my gawd!! and it was said that a freak group with ragged clothes like these would remain in the cult... now Wayne Coyne elegantly prances around dressed up for MTV singing about pink robots... Which do you prefer?

I propose the Ludovico treatment to Poletti!!!!

Great the Wipers, but what can you do, I prefer the Vipers (with a V) and all those proto-punk garage bands that painstakingly revive certain obscure sounds from the 60s that would otherwise be lost to memory, the Chesterfield Kings, the Fuzztones, DMZ, and then the Lyres, the Cynics, and the list would be long... Outta the nest by the Vipers is a gem with two to three-minute tracks that get you high without overthinking... Anyway, if the success had gone to the Wipers instead of Nirvana, I don't think you'd have this appreciation for them. Let's be glad that these bands have remained in cult status.

"let the film watch you"......inevitably yet foolishly we want to piece together the mechanisms of a Lynch film, we want to rewatch it in search of the clues that led us to an explanation, and in the end, we will have a completely different one...so one vision is too little and two are too many.
What’s the point of wanting to clarify? What’s the point of narrating a plot when each person takes away their own?

If someone reads this non-review, it's for those who insist on explaining the plot of Lynch's films.........

Yes, that very traffic divider at the beginning and end of the film illuminated by the headlights (how many times have we seen it in film noir!) leads to the connecting point between the two dimensions of the same place.

my unvarnished advice is: sometimes GET HIGH and watch this crap.
Does Lynch gut the concept of plot? So why does the reviewer bore us with their reconstruction of the same? But why do people insist on doing their homework to provide explanations for Lynch's films? Who knows... Who cares... who knows?

Of Bikini Kill, I remember an excellent album "Pussy Whipped," and then I ask you: are you still discussing sexism/feminism? It's all bullshit, women like men, Thelma & Louise wanting independence and doing it by shooting and killing just like the macho men, Kathleen Hanna being a riot girl against everyone and then signing with the major Universal with her next band La Tigre...hahaha, Uncle Frankie already said it in '68: We're Only in It for the Money (males & females).
