I know all you junior MovieSnobs, subscribed or not, have been distraught, crying your eyes out on the lack of posts here lately. That's because I'm writing you from the sunny Mediterranean coast instead of the skyrise MovieSnob offices. Since the beaches of southern mid-Italy aren't conducive to journalistic cinematic concentration and the fact I hate composing on my telefonino, I shine the spotlight on you, the potential discriminating cinema aficionado and journalist.

Go ahead, I double-dog dare ya! Post yer snobby opinion on whatever cinematic subject you desire! Think Gravity was the best science-fiction of the 21^st^ century and you're ready to defend that bold statement? Wanna expound on how Inland Empire was Lynch's finest moment (it wasn't)? Take your best shot!

Don't fret...I'll be around lemmy.film. But now, if you'll excuse me, I have spritzes and bikinis waiting for me.

I won't go that far, but I do think about the rabbit sitcom in Inland Empire way more than I would have expected. At some point I read some Seinfeld scripts and it's really jarring to just see it written down without scene transitions and music. But it was fun because I could imagine it Lynchian style : )

Also, cookouts and ketchup are different now

I think you may have misread my enquiry regarding Inland Empire, probably because I confusingly inserted my opinion in parenthesis. I don't think Inland Empire is Lynch's finest moment although it does have its moments. That film documented Lynch's newfound love affair with shooting digital while recycling 2001's Rabbits and footage shot for or contemporaneously with Gucci's 2006 "Gucci by Gucci" ad campaign. Apparently, not even Lynch knew where he was going with this one. Good thing it all came together and made sense in the end...?

Your observations though are spot on! Cookouts and ketchup, indeed!

I was fortunate enough to see this one on the big screen when it came out in 2006. It may be time for a rescreening. In any case, thanks for the comments!

Oh no, I was just denying your accusations that I might say it was his best haha

I've thought about going in search of the original Rabbit material, but I think it's perfect just like this so I haven't. I didn't know about the Gucci commercial stuff, thanks! I think while I watched Inland Empire I was kind of irritated a lot of the time but absence makes the heart grow fonder

Eta: please post all the beach pics, I wish I was there
