I asked for Chill Out suggestions referencing the same touchstones as the OP and the recommendations were spot on. Would be nice if that thread and this one were merged, like, for future reference. Also, Zoviet France "Mohnomishe" (listening to it now)

scene in which she's dancing to The Fixx on her walkman is worth the price of admission (<3) that and the opening/closing credits are pitch perfect really liked that flick all said

A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again by DFW was pretty funny and very very nineteen nineties; obviously written before the cell phone was in every pocket and before everyone had an intertube connection. the bit he wrote about being on the set of Lost Highway would be of interest to Lynch...

just thought you might want to have a listen to this brief interview with the sun ra arkestra the baddest big band on the planet (in full disclosure, one of the interviewers is someone i used to DJ with)

well, reading the jacket flap (so to speak), there's a lot of overlap with my own personal life and being a pynchon fan, i've got to give it a spin only through the first chapter but i've already got a list of fifteen or so characters (only way i can get through a pynchon novel is by making a...

Just picked this up from the library to take with me to the beach (to read). That means I've bailed on reading Proust's Remembrance of Past Lost Time Regained or whatever for the second time. One day...

I refuse to attend a screening of a film that would have me as a watcher. :ashes invisible cigar:

Troubling to read about the cat/fox brawl, as we've just moved to a fox-heavy neighborhood. Neighbors assured me that their cats haven't been killed by the foxes, as evidenced by their (cats) presence (there). When I first heard the foxes howling, I'd assumed that they were teenagers carrying on...

A Walk Through H. My Tulse Luper obsession is kicking into high gear. It has been slowly gestating for years but the Greenaway Early Films/Shorts box set has lit my fire. My mixed metaphor quota is maxed out but I'll be damned if it doesn't scratch where I've been itching.

yeah i am addicted to white Rod Lavers my favo(u)rite flavor = plain

i like beastmaster but i LOVE beast master 2. saw the Invention of Lying very disappointing formulaic would have made for an ok sketch but not enough in the premise for a feature

Chloe by Atom Egoyan. Bourgeois soft core for the art film circuit? Unsympathetic protagonists. Unconvincing femme fatale. Shoe-horned discussion of CD vs. MP3. Minimal boobage. Egoyan's hit/miss ratio is leaning to the latter.

^ yeah i've come across a few torrents on my search for the soundtrack; can't vouch for any though unfortunately the search for the soundtrack has yielded only dead links i got my disc off netflix it is dead cheap on amazon (last i checked) dunno if it's available in europe (i suspect it is)

finally rewatched this after an empty fifteen (odd) years of abstinence (from watching it) after years of fruitless googling of "post-apocalyptic + archer" and "dystopia + homoerotic battle cars" i found it again the best soundtrack ever by dude from goblin/crazy gang - ominous italo disco -...

^ Ride the Whirlwind is a must if you are obsessive about Nicholson and/or Harry Dean Stanton (i am borderline) also recently caught mr stanton in Wise Blood, John Huston's adaptation of the amazing F. O'Connor novella very faithful to the book but maybe not as funny strange though probably...

i knew you'd come through thanks queued recently watched Greenaway's The Falls and Vertical Features Remake Nyman/Eno scores amazing, borgesian/apollinian hadn't seen much of early Greenaway before (besides Water Wrackets) so this has been slightly revelatory for me also, caught Monte...

Kill, baby... Kill! aw man, i watched Bava's excellent KILL, BABY... KILL! last night and i almost fell out of my chair when i caught this scene: dude chases himself through the same room over and over black lodge in twin peaks anyone? that article about david lynch being a directorial...

been really into films set in Texas lately Hud, starring Paul Newman as a very hard to like antihero but he's got tons of charisma. interesting to hear about folk resisting punching holes into the land for oil in light of the BP fiasco --- that sort of connection to the land/earth is...

Hour of the Wolf A Bergman horror film (!); most intense pole-fishing scene in cinematic history. Love how Bergman's shoots in low light. And the way the wind blows seemingly on cue (Tarkovsky manages to summon elemental powers in this way).

^ i love the bit with the caves in "Passage" some say postmodernism is born in that section of the novel i just finished a couple Flannery O'Connor novellas, Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away. both have floored me. makes the Red Riding books (just read those) feel like a comforting bowl...
