I kind of feel like Mulholland Drive makes more sense than Lost Highway though. I mean Lost Highway takes so many turns it gets hard to follow

Yeah the guide raised more questions than answers. They probably need a guide for the guide.

Finally heard back from my boss after her meeting yesterday.

Sounds like the county is taking our Seniors program away from us when my boss retires in August, bringing in their own people and gutting it. Our cook was called last week and told she'll still have a job, but they didn't mention anything about all us other employees.

Time to start the job hunt.

So wait, Richard Nixon took Jackie Gleason to see a UFO...this apparently is a thing that occurred.

Lynch is a maniac. He's also my favourite director. You seen the new Twin Peaks yet?

It's weird

Yeah he's pretty much insane. No I have not had the chance to see the new TP yet, but I have no doubt it is delightfully insane.

I haven't seen the original Twin Peaks yet.

It's on netflix. Though maybe not netflix uk.

So, did I win?

Honestly, it's weird. Like, really weird. Very different to the original show. It's closer to Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead (no kidding) to anything else. It's very slow, too. I'm liking it though, and looking forward to seeing where it goes

They took it off a couple of years ago, the bastards. Luckily I have the sweet Complete Mystery blu-ray collection

Damn they put Full Metal Jacket back up on netflix too.

I watched that again recently. Good movie, but the boot camp bit overshadows the rest of the film, which I think is really weak in comparison. Doesn't really say anything that Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter or Platoon hadn't already. The whole boot camp bit is 10/10 material though, top-notch cinema

I don't know, I always liked the later part of the film as well with Joker in Vietnam. Though the best lines come from the boot camp part.
