jetpack_monkey: (Dale Cooper - Damn Good Coffee)
I forgot to post yesterday and I, um, neglected to watch a horror film because Spartacus. Blame [livejournal.com profile] sweetestdrain . Anyway. Luckily for everyone, on Saturday I watched two horror films, so I can post about both now.

The Howling, watched via DVD.
I have a lot to say about this one, but I'm saving it up for my Dear Festividders letter. Man I love this movie, though. Good stuff.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, watched digitally.
An entirely appropriate film to watch after Night Vale Live. There's a lot of Twin Peaks in Night Vale, just amped to 900. Anyway. This is a weird capper on the series in that it's (mostly) a prequel. Most of the events in the film are familiar because Dale Cooper already found out about them in the course of his investigation in the series. However, that doesn't rob them of their nightmare quality as Laura Palmer's last days are laid out. It's a David Lynch movie, so there are moments of exquisite weirdness and overplayed mundanity in equal share. I love this movie even as it irritates the ever-loving s**t out of me.

A few of my next few entries may be brief as I may be watching some horror movies for secret Festivids purposes. Shhhh.

I'm through the pilot and the first five episodes of Season 1 of "Twin Peaks". Damn that's good coffee!

How they make Agent Cooper so awesome without becoming annoying is beyond me. I credit Kyle MacLachlan, who I'd always pegged as a somewhat mediocre actor. My mistake.

I will be totally buying Season 2 when it comes out (although I accidentally got spoiled for the big reveal -- which actually isn't that hard for a show that's been off air for 16 years).
