"Bad Lieutenant: Port of New Orleans" is such a blast. I actually prefer it over the Harvey Keitel version which was directed by Abel Ferrara. Fun fact: Werner Herzog had never even watched the original "Bad Lieutenant" and was never going to include it in the title of the movie until the studio forced him to do so. Abel Ferrara was reportedly super mad about this and cursed everyone involved in the production of the movie. When a reporter asked Werner what he thought about Abel's reaction, he said that he had no idea who Abel Ferrara even was. Savage AF 🤣

The reason Bringing Out The Dead is perceived as underrated is because it came out in 1999. It came out in a year where you had ten movies that could easily wrestle for a place in Best Of All Time lists. If it had come out a couple of years later or earlier, it would have been way more significant. Instead it's just another great film in a year that is swamped with great films.

It's a crazy film in the most positive sense of the word.

Decided to do a Lynch watch-through this week seen I've only seen a few of his movies, and watched Wild At Heart this morning. What an incredible movie. Nic is able to play this outrageous rockabilly stereotype while also imbuing the character of Sailor with genuine pathos and emotion. The ending of the movie really moved me. Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with his work, but it strikes me as bizarre that it's one of his least talked about movies (even Dune gets talked about more, if only because of how unusual it is in his canon) when it is totally up to the standard of his previous movies. Maybe the messaging about the importance of love is too sentimental for people, but I loved it

Terrible take, man. Lovecraft was one of only a handful of American authors that brought true originality into prose styling, in company with Melville, Poe, and Faulkner. I can tell when someone has a surface-level understanding of Lovecraft when they use the "indescribable" meme; Lovecraft was autistically detail-oriented in his descriptions. Also, he conveyed the true Puritannical origins of America in ways of which Hawthorne couldn't even dream. Hating on Lovecraft is as brainlet-tier as liking the mere appearance of Lovecraft.
