How is Babe Ruth Babe Ruth?!?!?

Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 4 November 2021 20:21 (four years ago)

Hot dogs.

I sometimes like cold. It's just not...whatever makes Do the Right Thing Do the Right Thing, or makes "Maggie May" "Maggie May," or makes Babe Ruth Babe Ruth. I can't quite put it into words.

― clemenza,

I get you what you said, but Mulholland Dr. is suffused with anything. It's like Bowie performing "Stay" or "Word on a Wing" -- he's so mannered to keep from collapsing into a blubbering mess -- which I am, by the way, in the last 20 mins of Mulholland Dr

So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 4 November 2021 20:22 (four years ago)

anything = emotion

(not sure how that happened)

One time I saw Lynch do a Q&A hosted by Justin Theroux at the Kennedy Center when he was promoting his book on transcendental meditation. Theroux was reading questions from the audience, one of which was by a guy called "Spidey." Lynch goes into his TM spiel, then stops mid-sentence and asks Theroux "What did you say this guy's name was?
"Spidey."
"SPIDEY?!"
"Yes, Spidey."
And then Lynch continued with whatever he was saying previously. Anyway, I'll never forget him saying "SPIDEY?""

To play with your "Maggie May" analogy, the last 20 mins of MD consist of the Naomi Watts character singing WAKE UP AH THINK AH GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOUUU to Laura Harring.

(Serious answer for Babe Ruth: overflowing with joie de vivre, personality, larger-than-lifeness, etc.)

Tipsy's translation works for me: a layer of distance. Or something. Anyway, that's me: if you love any or all of the Top 4, I'm sure that makes no sense for you.

I love Stalker, but I agree it's not running up to give you a bear-hug.

Norm MacDonald got a lot of live on ILX when he died. Have to assume one of the remaining two is Dirty Work

And if my long list had anything to say about it, the other should be Wayne’s World

Another illustration of what I was trying to get at above: the difference between Boogie Nights and Phantom Thread. I love the former and was left cold by the latter; someone else, entirely the reverse. But either way, the difference between them is stark.

clemenza, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:19 (four years ago)

gosh this is exciting

That someone could have been me, but I did watch them 20 years apart so that may be a confounding factor.

La La Land

But actually Moonlight

jmm, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:28 (four years ago)

xp yeah bit generous it's true

haven't seen moonlight yet

edited to reflect developments which occurred (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:28 (four years ago)

Moonlight starts off very good and degenerates into standard mush

calzino, Thursday, 4 November 2021 21:31 (four years ago)

especially if by "mush" you mean the food served in that Miami diner
