Inland Empire!

well that was difficult and frightening and very long and incomprehensible.

i love the TV hostess that asks nikki about an affair. she's a smiling monster. it's important and wonderful to show how terrifying those frozen faces are.

also, the woman holding the lighter up to show her the light as she dies. and the women doing the locomotion on the shag carpet.

i've already forgotten the whole thing. where can i put this? i'd say it's fodder for dreams but it isn't; it'd be predigested. i was reasonably sure there was some underlying feminism, and nina simone was great, but where did all those black people come from?

i think that was awfully close to being a complete waste of time. though in writing that i feel forced to defend really liking mulholland drive. but there're huge differences. like how sloppy it was. and how thin.
