Inland Empire by Melissa Sue Anderson
Inland Empire by Melissa Sue Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A great think piece of Lynch’s final film.
Written by that lesbian you bummed cigarettes from while reading Derrida in the cool off-campus café. The book starts super strong. Has good bits on acting. Devolved into reflections on #MeToo and representation — including some interesting asides on the male gaze. And finishes with a reflection on Inland Empire’s uplifting ending.
A good read

Star Wars Day 2024
This is the thirteenth Star Wars day marathon. I have completed seven, and failed twice.
Phantom Menace
Phantom Menace is Jacks first love.
It is not my favorite. Gun-gin “jive” gets worse every year. The laser sword legacy theory stuck out a lot this time. I hate midi-chlorians
Attack of the Clones
Anakin always has yellow ships. His wife has silver.
Revenge of the Sith
What, exactly, would “reverse stabilizers” do?
New Hope
It was one in a million.
Empire Strikes Back
Don’t tell me the odds
The hyperdrive motivator has been damaged (red droid also has a motivator issue).
They did not ask any questions—torture to trigger the force connection
Return of the Jedi
Jabba the hut dies. Yoda dies. Mythical creatures die.
Force Awakens
Let’s go! Kid edition.
Last Jedi
Three lessons.
1. The Jedi Don’t Own The Light
2. The Legacy of The Jedi is Failure
(3.) A true Jedi Knight wouldn’t interfere in the “balance,” despite people getting hurt.
(3a.) A person willing to save anyone at all costs
Flight deck scenes.
Rise of Skywalker
Total cluster.
