Unpopular Movie Opinions: Part III

Is Twin Peaks anything like Blue Velvet, because the latter is good, but it's a bit of a slog.

Well, they're kinda both weird, I can say that.

I found it boring up until it started getting weird and then I just found it baffling and boring.

Considering the kind of stuff that does “make an impact” with people, that’s not saying much.

Well, I never found "Twin Peaks" to baffling, really. There are elements that were occasionally difficult to decipher. But the show as a whole is really fairly straightforward in its underlying story and themes. Then again, were you watching this with friends, or alone? Because when it aired I was watching it every week with the same group of friends, and every week we spent more time discussing the show than actually watching it.

I don't know. It certainly isn't for everyone.

Naomi Watts as Janey-E was the funniest damn performance I saw in 2017.

Spider-Man Into the Spider Verse is a boring movie.

The best noirs are from the 40`s

Rami Malek best performance was on Need For Speed

Tank Girl > Elektra > Wonder Woman > Supergirl 1984 > Captain Marvel

Venom was better than Infinity War until the last part.

I just wanna give a shout out/honorable mention to this thing:

Is this really an unpopular opinion?

Twin Peaks - The Return is the best season without a doubt.

Do you mean that it's a better film, or that it's funnier? Or both?

Any way you cut we aren't going to agree here. I'm just curios.

I just finished rewatching it last night.

It’s great...a true work of art.

...but I’d be lying if I said I understand even half of it.

I posted the following yesterday in the Criterion thread. I think it totally applies to TPS3 as well:

I love what Altman says near the end of the commentary track (of 3 Women) concerning films that are experimental in nature (there may be a little paraphrasing here): "I like when people come out of the theater and say, I don't know what that was but I liked it."

And that's almost to the letter what was going through my brain as I turned to my friend after seeing Mulholland Dr. for the first time.

Exhilarating.

More like the gospel of Chris Claremont from the chapters of New Mutants issue 25.
