    Fairly late to the game.

     

    I randomly purchased draft 7.30 from HMV in Bracknell when it was released, it was the recommended dance album of the week (!)

     

    I was already into Squarepusher and Aphex and knew a bit about 'chre but initially this album fucked with my head and I didn't really understand it. Took a while before it started to click and then

    Blessed be HMV

    Shite, I mean, I like them all in different ways.  Exai should be higher, then I can't leave Amber and Incu in a tier by themselves so just bump them all up. I still don't know my way around NTS enough to be able to say.

    I always thought a cameo was when someone played himself... Like if David Lynch made an appearance in Twin Peaks and Laura was like 'Hey David sup?' 

    How come the guy that played Charlie in TP appearing in Birdman is a cameo? So everybody is a cameo by that logic... I mean everybody that acted in at least 2 different movies is a cameo?

    Sorry I'm a dummy... 

    ??

     

    I guess Laura Palmer appearing in a different movie (and I mean Laura herself not Sheryl Lee) would also be considered a cameo?

    Ah ok guess poor choice of word. But he does appear to be dressed the same?

    Michael, here's my take. 

      Hide contents

    I'm thinking it's about the Janitor wanting to end his life (and possibly going dement). The girl is a woman he tried talking to in a bar that rejected him when he was young. He keeps fantasizing about their life together and plays these fantasies back repeateadly (all the ice cream buckets represent all the times he's done this, what we're seeing is just one iteration of them).  The Janitor is Jake (notice he likes musicals, the ones that are staged in the school where he works). In the home of his parents various stages of his life are played back, the girlfriend injected into them, and the memories turn into a garbled mess, he can't remember what the dog looks like so you can never see its face etc, he probably loses control of the fantasy here because of all the traumatic shit he went through. Notice that the girl has various names and jobs, interests throughout, he doesn't really know her and keeps changing her to what he feels would be best. The Ice Cream place is a metaphor for his incestous/forbidden lust for the girls in the school, the ice cream is sex. The Janitor killing the idolized version of Jake is probably him realizing his real self not being like he is in his fantasies, and him wanting to end his life.  I'm not really sure about the musical in the end though, soz !

    K. I think I'm done editing this now, the more I think about this film, the more there is to discover.

    Spot on, I think the musical and award ceremony just plays into his deluded fantasy and end of life trauma. Possibly also dementia as you say. Don't think that's a spoiler as it won't make sense until you've seen it

    I just saw the full  2 hours and 14 minutes of I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020).
    My opinion: Whu...?
    (do yourself a favour and don't watch this movie)

     

    I watched this last night and really enjoyed it.  Of course it makes you think Whu...? but I like films that make me think.  Big spoilers (from my point of view)...

    Spoiler

    At first I thought it was about suicide, with the girl wanting to end her life.  This made me think twice about watching the film as I have had a few dark thoughts recently.  Then it becomes apparent she just wants to leave him.  Then you as a viewer question her existence with the mad time jumping scenes in the house, and it becomes apparent she is just an apparition from Jake's imagination as he is the only one who could have known all of the information.  The picture of the young girl is possibly from his school job. 

    But then the sad realisation of age, deterioration, loneliness and missed opportunities.... ending how I first thought the film would but in a completely different way.  A great film actually.

    I watched Wild at Heart again at the weekend. Really sexy and freaky.

    Loved Cage and Dern. Especially the flashback scenes of Dern with her creepy uncle, and her scene with Bobby Peru in the motel. wtf. 

    It's also spot the Twin Peaks cameo, which Lynch used the film as a casting couch for the series.

     

    I also watched Birdman, which I really, really enjoyed.  Michael Keaton was great! And so was Edward Norton to be fair. Naomi Watts is great is most things she is in, although I thought she was a bit underused in this.  Also cameo spot for the guy who plays Charlie from Twin Peaks (Audrey's dwarfish husband in The Return) - and plenty of other Twin Peaks style feel's from the film, especially the musical score and lighting.  Great.

    Exactly. If you're a fan you've already preordered this. I don't think they really have 'swing voters' anymore. 

    Also, preview tracks ruin albums for me. You've always got that one track that has associations attached to it.

    Agreed, although a single with associated video is fine (aka minipops)

    Although of course ae have never followed the traditional singles from album route. 

    Gantz Graf was their only "single" release I think? Or is it an ep

    From the fan perspective, sure, but Watmm's job is to put off swing voters.

    In other news, China is testing their vaccine in Africa because they don’t have enough cases at home. So maybe these figures are at least somewhat accurate.

    ...or they dont want to test it on their own people
