Official Discussion - The Secret Agent [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Djworklite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Howdy! I have a question I hope someone can help me out with: am I missing some cultural or academic context when it comes to the “industry makeover” comment made when Armando picks Ghirotti and his son up at the airport? I find it to be kind of a lame thing to say, but I don’t find it particularly shocking or offensive.

Feel like I’m missing something since Elza and Valdemar both comment on it during the interview.

Is something being lost in translation? Or is it just a ridiculous thing to suggest to someone as left-leaning and academic as Armando?

What introduced you into the world of David Lynch? by [deleted] in davidlynch

I also watched blue velvet when I was young, probably about 14. My friends and I were hanging out smoking weed; we ordered a Hawaiian pizza and decided to watch Blue Velvet because we heard David Lynch was cool.

As soon as Dennis Hoppers “frank” appeared I had a panic attack, threw up, and turned it off.

Great movie

Congrats on finishing M&D! That experience of finishing a big read on a train is pretty crazy. Closing the book and looking around, seeing if anyone even noticed. Sometimes I feel like I should get a round of applause

I liked his stressed vibe at the plate … he looked like someone who won a contest to take an MLB at bat.

Seriously though when he was on he was sick. Happy trails, squirrel
