It's amazing that thing was financed and broadcasted.
Well, the name of David Lynch is a sesame that can open some doors, and the first two seasons were something of a revolution for TV back then.

Showtime tried to get rid of him. Most likely for this episode. But I am guessing, honestly.

Big DL fan here but I don't have Showtime so haven't seen Season 3 of TP.

And for those of you who think he's a god - watch Inland Empire and get back to me with your thoughts. 

Inland Empire is his only film that bored me. Wasn't aware of that dispute thing. 

Massive DL fan but the original Twin Peaks I found a big disappointment. He had the right idea, and started out well, but just went nowhere with irrelevant subplots. It's no surprise it got cancelled. 

I really enjoy Inland Empire. I saw a really good description of it the other day, "a three-hour panic attack". It's definitely not for everyone since there is almost zero narrative structure and the film deliberately looks like shit, but it's something very interesting nonetheless and it just gets under your skin. 

The new season is written from start to finish by Lynch and Frost with no outside interference, and the whole thing is directed by Lynch. This new season also is far more in tone with Fire Walk With Me than the first two seasons.

People who went in expecting to see coffee and pie and quirky humour were sorely disappointed, and last night's episode made quite a few people absolutely furious while the rest of us thought it was an amazing piece of art and something unheard of on TV. 

Tried to watch it, tried again a few more times but never managed to get into the film. Also, I never liked Laura Dern, so it may have something to do with her. She was bearable in Wild at Heart because Nicholas Cage but that's pretty much it for me.

People who went in expecting
It's a mistake to expect anything from Lynch (including weirdness, as evidenced by The Straight Story). 

is one of my favorite Lynch movies so I'm probably gonna love the new season, though I wouldn't have minded if it kept the tone set in the first two. The Man from Another Place will be sorely missed though. Speaking of, I stumbled upon this. Has Anderson gone nuts? 

I won't tell any more what Lynch did to the character, other than skacky's brilliant reaction, and I quote, "THAT FUCKING MIDGET MUST BE SHITTING HIMSELF" 

And thanks for the spoiler-free heads-up. 

Best lynchyan footage since Eraserhead. Mindblowing ! Quake nod included... 

once it's all aired.

I hated Fire Walk With Me and Inland Empire though. 

Well you may not enjoy this season very much then, especially if you hated Fire Walk With Me. It's very close in tone and references it heavily, down to the smallest detail. 

I just think it's a mess of a movie.

Anyway I still want to watch Twin Peaks s3 regardless, it's not everyday today that 18hrs of completely unfiltered auteur madness is allowed.

Sig Weaver does look good here.

even better. 

Wonder Woman - unpopular opinion but I thought this was utter shit on every level.

3/10 

Wonder Woman, it starts out decently and gets gradually worse. 

Finished watching Fargo 3. I thought it was a bit average for the first half (I know he's the big name hollywood actor but Ewan McGregor annoyed me). I remember being into season 1 and 2 more in the beginning. But really picked up and got exciting in the second half.

I didn't like Varga though. Trying too hard to be the disgusting Nazi. And the cliched asian bodyguard with headphones all the time that thinks he's the shit but actually is just a big fuck up. I constantly just wanted to punch them both. Comparing them to the S2 baddies that were genuinely fucking scary and believable rather than cliched.

What really disappointed me was the conclusion. I can only guess that they want to re-use a certain character in a future season. Or it was some sort of commentary on the current banking system, but whatevs.

Overall great though, just not as good as s1 and s2. 

I found David Thewlis rather entertaining in both, people hated him in WW but I found his performance similarly entertaining to in Fargo, someone who is evil and also condescending. Also, the Greek mythology stuff in WW, particularly the style of it as an animated Renaissance painting, was great. WW script was an average-ish adventure plot with the basic elements of coming of age, humour, romance etc., but it was fairly well-executed and the cast and cinematography, were both good. As a mapper, the design of Themiscyra was fucking sweet, better than Kyrpton in Man of Steel, which has a lot of parallels to this movie. Development of the side characters could have been handled better and there were some awkward/cheesy moments, but am I wrong in thinking the action scenes were great? Overrated WW may be but I think it's still a solid 7/7.5.

Fargo Season 3 was all about the theme, all the characters were there playing the roles they did as an allegory for the banking system post-financial collapse, and from that angle I think it's really good, even though the way the conclusion worked out in the last couple of episodes was confusing and (despite this randomness being one of the themes) I wish they worked in Episode 3 (the scifi one) more in the end. The homages to Coen brothers films were fun but it did feel like self-cannibalism. The "post-truth" theme of it all was interesting. Overall it wasn't as good as either previous season or as good as it was looking to be in the first half of the season, but it still was good. To me the most annoying character was the second female cop (even the first one was already a Fargo trope) followed closely by the "no DON'T investigate" chief, that's total self-cannibalism. I'd call Season 1 an 8.5 or 9, Season 2 a 9.5, and Season 3 a 7.5. At the very least the theme was timely. When the bankers come may sexy ex-cons (Winstead was entertaining) and mute hitmen oppose them vigorously... 

totally derivative and not that great IMHO. 

It Comes at Night - 7/10

Extremely low key, but very moody and effective psychological thriller (ignore the marketing, this is not really a horror movie) with pacing that carefully builds dread carefully before unleashing its grim fatalistic end. There are also a lot of loose ends left open, but IMHO none of them ultimately matter but worth keeping in mind if you prefer tighter narratives.

Also, I saw it with similarly annoying teenagers to Drew who wouldnt shut up and kept flashing their phones around because "nothing is happening". 

Baby Driver - 5.5/10

Opening car chase is pretty exciting and well staged, after that I did not care one bit about anything that happened in this movie. I also found the much heralded cutting of action to the music nothing that interesting and only really aligned at a very superficial level. 

pretty overrated, some nice parts but quite empty overall.
Honestly it's been going downhill for a while re whats his name, the director, for me.
