Cartoon Brew utterly savage (but 100% correct) on the Emoji Movie trailer
LA Review of Books on Netflix's Sense8 as metaphor for Netflix is. (I have no idea
why a book site is reviewing this but the piece is absolutely terrific)
LA Times talks to Robin Swicord, only now with a second feature (Wakefield) long after the success of The Jane Austen Book Club. Her debut was profitable (always Hollywood's end goal) but Hollywood wouldn't hire her to direct? We've heard this story all too often!
Screen Daily in terrible terrible news they're still not going to let the once genius but totally played out Terminator franchise die and Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron plan to be involved in the next one. Doesn't anyone in Hollywood want to do something original even more? It's not like Cameron couldn't get funding for literally ANYTHING he wanted to do. (sigh)

Twin Peaks is here!
Twin Peaks Season 3 begins today so it's probably a good idea to reacquaint yourself with the previous two seasons and Fire Walk With Me. If you don't have time to rewatch them (*raises own hand in solidarity*) there are articles around to jog your memory. Unicorn Booty recaps where several storylines left off at the end of Season 2, and K Austin Allen of The Ringer takes a deep dive into the movie prequel that was honestly kind of reviled back in 1992 but has since grown rather beloved amongst Lynch fans and cinephiles. Perfect anecdotal evidence from my own life: my best friend who was an absolute Twin Peaks nut in the 90s and then hated Fire Walk With Me which we saw together in 1992. I saw him yesterday -- he had just rewatched it was like 'Have you ever watched Fire Walk With Me again? I remember hating it, somehow, but it's incredible!'

Thanks so much for the link! Yeah, Japan may be getting Logan 2 months later but at least what a visitor they are having there :(
I saw Fire Walk With Me last week after years avoiding it and now I just can't stop thinking about it. Sheryl Lee is so good. Her career would have been so different if the film had not been so reviled back in '92.
Are we gonna have a Twin Peaks recap/review post? It sounds like there are a lot of fans here, and there's so much to discuss!
I had no idea Fire Walk With Me was so badly received. Even today reading a lot of blog posts about the upcoming season most of them referred to it as "terrible".
I think it's one of Lynch's best films and Sheryl Lee is unforgettable.
My favorite quote from a review panning Fire Walk With Me said "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me isn't the worst movie ever made it just feels like it."
Mike White is involved with the emoji movie?!?!? I just don't know what to do with that information. Maybe that movie won't actually be as awful as it looks?
