Yes but sometimes I miss that information or it's obvious to other people and not me. So sometimes, I ask my partner.

Sure, but the scene is the first scene of the movie. There is nothing you can miss.

Except of course if you know anything about the movie or what it is about, but then it should be kinda obvious why they are shooting at the dog..

Reminds me of my grandmother's famous cry... in waking up at random times during a movie or TV show

"is he dead yet? "

It's nice to see more federal agencies being represented in movies these days. When I was a kid you never saw ATF, feds were always FBI.

I swear I'm going to, start forcefully, inserting commas in wrong, places.

It hurt to read this. It was like stop and go traffic in my brain

Ngl, I think part of the reason for widespread reading comprehension being so fucking bad and getting worse, is the popularity of horrible grammar. It requires people to do a lot more assuming when reading, and so it essentially becomes a loosely typed language, like JavaScript, inviting wrong assumptions and errors.

getting worse, is the popularity of

Is this part of your idea from your first comment to insert commas in jarring, objectively incorrect places?

He has never watched a David Lynch film before.

I watched lost highways at movie night a couple of weeks ago. It was my first Lynch movie.

I despise it when the plot twist in a movie is that the guy imagined everything. And the movie was comically slow. I'm one who enjoys the process of cobbling together self referential details to get to the broader picture. And yet the disappointment of finding out it was all a delusion ruined the entire thing.

I didn't like it, wouldn't recommend. Sooner or later I'll watch another Lynch movie, maybe I'll change my mind.

I just wanted to vent

The only way to enjoy Lynch movies for me is to watch them like you look at a painting.
Enjoy the cinematography, costumes, lighting, music, atmosphere, etc.
Trying to follow the plot (especially on the first viewing) is frustrating and futile.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That's kinda the best approach to Lynch's films: he's a jazzman of cinema. Except the plot is also a part of his technique.

He was known to invent parts of his films on the spot: e.g. the cowboy character in ‘Mulholland Drive’.

First act: confusion. Third act: payoff. Cinema, baby.
