Hello, Thrillseekers!

Hi there! Thanks for running this!

so cool, thank you!

Welcome, Laura!

Hi, Eddy!

Hi there!

Hi all! Thanks for organizing this

Hi Sara & friend!

Feel free to type questions here if you don’t want to shout out!

Welcome, Avi!

Ashley, glad you could be there.

I have not seen it!

Seen it!

Seen it

oh man, i was thinking when i was rewatching this last night how great it would be as a stage production!

Isabella actually got better looking in this version.

Which version is this?

not sure about the casting of jeffrey

student film directed by Abigail Garcia

I think this is from Blue Terrycloth

lol

lol lee

Wow!

Mmm PBR

I need to get some PBR!

PBR!!!!

PBR

I can hear you fairly well

I first saw it this month.

Maybe a year after it came out, on TV? I was 17 so it was pretty unsettling. Also I lived in rural Ireland so it was 2x foreign

I've never seen it, so I will only have a post "#MeToo" perspective

Yes The Favorite was in that space. I wonder if Greed is.

it’s my go-to karaoke number

Devin, but do you sing it like Isabella?

Toss-up betwen BV and Mulholland Drive

will, i definitely approach it from bobby’s direction but maybe i’ll have to rethink that

the river’s edge is so good

he is that great American train wreck that you can't turn your attention away from

i’ve read parts of that

How could anyone think that BV is a good date movie??

Dennis is not a nice man.

dean stockwell is so good in this

This is THE scene — like this Night Gallery episode of the waiting room to hell, only on ether.

Who is the guy in the tan leather coat? The only one I don’t know

the moment he stops lip synching and the song keeps going is top five david lynch film moments for me. so simple and so viscerally disconcerting. a missing stair

Lost Highway right there at the end

Agreed. I also love the music in MD!

Loved the songs so much that I bought the soundtrack soon after!

He had just been in Dune

Stockwell and Nance too

Fantastic ensemble scene

ben is extremely dgaf

This is the scariest scene in the movie for me. I could understand what was going on with Frank being violent but everything about Ben creeped me out, and still does tbh

oh yeah

Ben

Ben

I gotta different take. Frank is very violent but also very needy. Ben is self sufficient and is ale to use Frank and I totally believe he tortures people for fun.He enjoys punching Jeffrey and whatever has happened to Dorothy's son is too awful to show. Franks seems much more manageable (possibly because I've been around people like that) whereas Ben is completely unrpedictable.

oh my microphone does work on this computer

"don't look at me"... we all try to deny the dirty/hateful/dangerous thoughts and impulses we have.

This scene is so similar to the audition scene in mulloland drive

lee, this is also really making me want to watch mulholland drive

It's a beautiful song & what's so absurd is that the woman dances terribly. Makes it comical to be distracted by something that can strike people as funny while something horrible is going on.

Such great song. I especially love the Tom Jones version!

+1

taking tite dialog/lyrics, and only by delivery, transforming them into something much more dark

trite

ohh who is that…

(Sorry, no mic on my end)

chad Everett, my bad

i love this camera angle

I didn’t really think much while watching the film (for the first time) about the time periods being shown here; but growing up in the 60’s/70’s, I’m definitely cluing in on how the film is “taking place” in the late 60’s, a time of tremendous turbulence and casting off of old norms/values, while the music is from the 50’s, a time that MAGA types want to return to for its “family values” in popular iconography (think Leave it to Beaver) but was also the McCarthy Era, major Cold War BS, etc. Makes me think of “Happy Days” glorifying a bygone era during the 70’s, when it was long gone — though the conservative movement of today was just starting to take off, in post-Goldwater era.

I think Chad Everett was the guy in Mulholland Drive

that’s a great note avi, thank you for writing that

you guys handled Zoom very well

I wish you had done the introduction of Sandy & Dorothy side by side. Each of their introductions inform the film so much

interesting that it had a 1950s style “happy ending”

How about a plug for next week and Pulp Fiction! Link will be up on the dedicated webpage, soon to show up on website…

Really loved this, thank you guys!

Next week discuss PULP FICTION!!!

Sorry I was late but looks like I came in at a pivotal part.

Pulp Fiction sounds good

It was dope!

Happy birthday!

My brother & I could probably quote the entire Pulp Fiction movie.

can we like other comments?

Thank you! See you next week!
