“What’s scary about the auditorium/prom queen scene in Brian De Palma’s CARRIE is that you find yourself, after having spent so much time with poor Carrie White, actually *enjoying* her revenge… It’s horrible, but you understand.”

@dodgyboffin "BODY DOUBLE is a smirking, porn-pop uncanny valley of artifice-lubed Hitchcockian anti-reality. A film heat-warped by sexual obsession into an unhinged flood of Brian De Palma's megatonic, metafilmic id."

"T.S. Eliot’s poetry of austerity positions despair as the logical alternative to life as an automaton; Richard Kelly’s film of excess positions hallucinatory ecstasy as the even more logical alternative to the same." -@Ethan_Warren_ on SOUTHLAND TALES https://t.co/AJVLnbFR0d
“The chronically online want to pry it open and bear witness to its machinations, but DONNIE DARKO, at least to my mind, seems blissfully unknowable.” https://t.co/kKxS5X1ph6
Happy 56th birthday to Adam Sandler, who in @JOSH_BENNY's UNCUT GEMS "mélanges the extremes of his comedic and dramatic work into a singular, prismic effort that binds the film into an iridescent whole."

“Removed from the tangle of time travel, DONNIE DARKO is really just a *mood*. Tears for Fears & Sparkle Motion & bunny suits & Cherita in her earmuffs. Fragments that float like chum on seawater. Annihilating the agreeable as an act of creation.”

"Locating a cultural outlet to decompress from the daily nightmare isn’t a top priority for any of us, yet nevertheless it’s important to help maintain just a smidgen of your sanity... I am, of course, talking about the television program COLUMBO."

“The film is a miasma of the hellish summer heat and everything that comes with it. Each frame feels sun-stained, covered in a grime that attaches itself to one’s body.”

“FAHRENHEIT 451 is often hailed as a dire vision that’s only become more relevant with time. And yet there is so little in this story that I recognize from the world around me.”
