Crazy that he just died. RIP David Lynch,

Im really really gonna miss him, thank you for this video, I know it seems like a weird paradox, a video explaining how inexplicable Lynch's work is (if that makes sense), but it provided me a lens that I could finally see his work through and a sense of peace when I used to watch his work. It let me define a lot of his stories into something more personal. It made his work feel more like a gift to me and I loved talking to other people to see what his stories meant to them.

Somehow, I am a year late to you covering my second favorite musical (after Last 5 Years), though I have my bell to update every time you post a video. Not sure what thats about, but sorry for being late. But more importantly, thank you for making this. I adore this musical and Im even traveling to go to see it later this month- a Christmas gift from my wife. I think you hit the nail on the head on a lot of what makes this production special for me; the juxtaposition of Evan being the villain and also deeply sympathetic (Good For You being a great snippet of this.) I also love how you touched on how the sweeping emotional ballads swelling with positive thought actually do and did nothing to help anyone in the story, and that its when the characters sit in their shit and process is when they really heal and advance. Like anyone, I came to the musical when someone shared You Will Be Found, but as I watched the show, my true favorites ended up being Good For You, A Requim, and Does Anybody Have a Map (and Sincerely Me but that ones just fun af). Anyway, fantastic analysis as always, I always enjoy every single video of yours that I watch. They are always of immense quality and incredibly thought out. I know youtube doesnt exactly reward this kind of thing, and I will understand if you eventually move on from this, but just know your videos are wonderful and inpsiring and will probably hold a little place in my heart in perpetuity. Thank you so much for them Grace. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Calling JK Rowling a "TERF": ✔ Bandwagoning against someone :✔ Using buzzwords for brownie points:✔ Being pretentious:✔ Acting like you're better than everyone else (in this case Potterheads/casual HP fans):✔ Pretending to care about social issues:✔ Lilly Orchard is that you?🤭

I just got rickrolled through text 😅

Yeah, but I cant eat it, so it isn't the best.

i like the aestetic of car parks at night

Oh man, Cube! That's one of my favorite indie horror movies of all time, and I'm so glad you discussed it. And dang, was that a mound of trouble 😎

mia farrow has such a beautiful voice

Interestingly the mixture of the vaporous ghost and the "bodily" ghost was very common in the 19th century, for example in the work of Sheridan Le Fanu. It was only near the end of the century that ghosts became entirely incorporeal as we know them today. Chine Mieville has an interesting essay on this called "MR James and the Quantum vampire"

Lynch’s movies invite you to try and piece together some rational explanation. For most of his surreal noir films, ha I coined a new term, no such explanation is possible. There are likely layers of meaning and as well as some intentional misdirection. He uses many archetypes and refuses to use run time on exposition. The film is supposed to wash over you emotionally and as a visceral experience. If someone says what did that mean? They may just be missing the point. It’s not what did that mean,but what did I feel where did it take me?

I keep coming back to this essay and recommending it to my similarly easily overtaken by the existential ennui of "not having made it yet" chums, and I still wanna say--fantastic essay, Grace, it always reminds me that it's about enjoying the process more than the reward of the work

Do you happen to know where I could get that font that looks like Lynch's handwriting?

I love you for this gift you have given us. Your words are a treasure

hey! do you want to want to be an olympic level ice skater taught by an ice dancer? i recommend you read "Medalist"

Well done!! I love Dickenson

If dreams can't come true, then why not pretend?

"Folk Horror" was first used to describe movies in 1970, film magazine Kine Weekly in a review by Rod Cooper in regards to the film The Devil's Touch (later renamed The Blood on Satan's Claw).

While Piers Haggard, director of Blood on Satan's Claw, said 'Folk Horror' as a way to describe his film, 2004 interview for Fangoria.

Ambrosia - the feeling of nostalgia for something you’ve never seen before

i love you grace lee from 7 years ago

I think the best example of tableau in movies is 'The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.'

0:30 - Spelled 'Wheatley' wrong. Never too late to correct it.

2:36 *I’M THE HIGHWAY MAN* ooookay then *I’M THE HIGHWAY MAN* 🎶 *I MAKE ENDS MEET-*

this is the only channel where you can release a video talking about the letter x and i go fuuuuck yes

Ok kinda go back to this video every six months or so. Just wanted to let you know i have watched this about 10 times by now. Love all your work but this one is really important to me. Thanks from the bottom of my psyche.

Come back! You’re videos are brilliant I know the competitive landscape of KZbin nowadays is disheartening, but you can evolve! Your originality is special I don’t know how you will emerge but I promise you if you attack the problem in different ways you’ll eventually manage to :)

Finn and jake will always be a part of me. Great video! I'm in tears while writing this . ❤

I recently had a revelation about Lucy and her character arc and her struggles with insecurity. As i'm typing this the narrator just mentioned this. Let me elaborate. When Lucy is first introduced to the audience, she is constantly trying to act mysterious and super unique, nothing like the people of bricksburg. For instance, when she first introduces herself to Emmet, she calls herself Wyldstyle, and when Emmet asks if this is her real name, she shuts him down very quickly. According to Vitruvius, she changed her name a number of times and was very insecure about her name, Lucy, probably because of how common a name Lucy is. It was also revealed in the sequel that she recolored her hair because she wanted to be seen as more mature. She is also one of the artists in the movie that made the "Everything is Awesome" song, and she denied that she co-produced it or even liked it, most likely because she didn't want to be associated with something she viewed as "basic" or "immature." With Emmet's help, Lucy is able to start accepting herself and stop trying to hide parts of herself that she deemed as "conformist" or "basic," starting with her name.

These are first world problems, nothing bad really happens to you people.

I know I'm late to the party, but I just watched this movie last night. Your analysis is masterful, well done!

Are you familiar with metamodernism? Bwcause when you talk about oscillating between extremes... I do think it makes more sense to think of it as a cycle.

Horror helps comstipation

0:12 hey i go there every other week. also judd books which is nearby

this video perfectly encapsulates my love of otgw. its nostalgic, but new, and feels familiar in the way a dream does.

BORGES!!

Neil Maskell Michael Smiley awesome actors

The quality of this video is stunning. You are so skilled! Loved this

I'm scp number whatever . I come out of the shadows when Hausu is mentionned . 4 years late but still .

This is my favorite film of the last decade, and, especially the first time I saw it, it struck me as a performance piece about all of the roles that we might play (at least metaphorically) in the course of our lives, while at the same time being a homage to cinema. Watching it the second and third times, I began to deconstruct and analyze the individual skits, which are full of audio visual treats, odd juxtapositions, and surreal twists that draw upon the history of cinema, conjuring up archetypal stories and characters in amazing, imaginative collage.

Love this, and love the Cache connection. I always felt Haneke was inspired by Lost Highway, but I've never heard it mentioned until now. Two greats examining the same themes with very different but equally disturbing results. High five!

This video was brought to you by the Human Society of Humanity and Humans.

I started enjoying my nightmares and then stopped getting them as much.

I don’t know how it’s possible that I missed one of your videos from a year ago but I’m happy I did so I can watch it for the first time now.

Why the fuck did the oldspongebob episodes make me more scared then watching "actual" horror movies?

Also, knowing it was made by Australians, this very much reflects an Australian attitude towards larrikinism. The auttitide being: it's good! Many of our ancestors were brought here in chains, so the 'fuck the establishment' attitude is very ingrained.

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Beautiful video

this is fucking hilariously wrong
