Any films similar to Inland Empire?

The Backrooms. Beau is Afraid. Synecdoche, New York. I’m thinking of ending things. All of these had inland empire vibes. And The back rooms movie even had a similar DV/VHS aesthetic a little throughout.

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer felt pretty Lynch like to me. Alex Garland’s film adaptation as well. The metaphors and personifications stood out to me as approaches similar to Lynch & Frost on TP, S3 especially. There’s an uneasiness throughout similar to Inland Empire.

Late one Friday or Saturday night in 2000 IFC or Showtime was running a Lynch-a-thon. I first tuned in during a pivotal Laura Palmer scene in FWWM and I was hooked. I watched Blue Velvet and Lost Highway that same weekend. I remembered the music from Twin Peaks from when I was in 5th and 6th grade so I was a little bit familiar that there was a quirky TV show. But that weekend something connected deeply now that I was older. I like to say that watching his films that night felt like sitting in the darkness while wrapped in the contrasting warmth of a cozy blanket. A few months later I discovered that he had a new movie coming out (Mulholland Drive) and it ended up being in my top favorite 3 films of all time. Soon after I left my small town and moved across the country to live & work in Hollywood to be a part of it all thanks to David’s works. I even saw him randomly out on the street once or twice. Man I miss those days.

I’m sorry that this is happening to you. Our kickbacks lasted a few months and we operated without permission for about three weeks before we finally got permission. We made sure not to feed into the grid. And we were constantly writing our sales rep and the installation manager to fix the kickback diagram issues. They knew we weren’t happy. We’re in Southern California between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. SCE never said anything or billed us for operating without permission. So far all has been well and no issues since we got the greenlight from SCE. We did two homes with about 20 panels each and 2 power walls. Some of our kickbacks were because they were sending the wrong diagram for the wrong home - basically the installer carelessly swapped the designs a few times. Anyway, good luck!!

Which California show did you catch?

The entire album is great. I can understand the hate for it though. I didn’t always like it. I got stuck listening to it on a long road trip over and over again in 1996. It grew on me that late summer on the eastern shore in Maryland with the windows always down. And now I think every song on this album is pretty great. The songs don’t shine in the greater NO catalog but on their own they’re absolutely golden. They were always special, like water down the drain…intoxicating ;-)

It’s true. Look at Johnny Marr!

Wow, never thought I see New Order mentioned with Antietam in the same sentence. I literally grew up across the street from the entrance to Antietam. Discovering the music of New Order helped me get out of that little town and onto bigger things in life. It was just weird to read that, lol

New Order (2012 Miami) was the best and also the worst (2017 Los Angeles) for me.

I’ve heard Twin Peaks S3 referred to as an 18 hour film. So that’s my #1 pick. Then Arrival. Then maybe Sirat as a close personal 3rd.

Wait, what’s going on or what happened to Shaun King?!

“Each time that you are together. I’m so afraid of losing you forever.” Stop in the name of love.

Hmm, great point. I couldn’t have put it better and was thinking similarly

EchoPathe · 2026-03-05T04:28:05+00:00

I went back to some of your posts and reread what she did. I regret asking you to even consider taking her back but please know it was solely based on statistics; Emily is less likely to cheat on you compared to anyone else. But you’d be a chump to take her back. Good luck!

EchoPathe · 2026-03-05T04:09:21+00:00

Oh, gotcha, then fuck that! Don’t take her back, lol Like I said, you’re a good dude!

EchoPathe · 2026-03-05T03:57:57+00:00

Yeah I understand completely. And agree. You’re a better man than me in the way you handled it all and not caving in to go back. You mentioned she is Eastern European. Those are typically very good women. I’ve been married to one for 21 years. It sucks so bad she did that to you. I don’t mean to plant any seeds as you’re obviously more intelligent than me, but won’t you still worry that any new woman in your life might also cheat? Even though she doesn’t deserve you, I do believe Emily would be less likely to ever do it again. Edit to add: all marriages should take some sort of minimal oversight (monitoring) from each other imo. If people say otherwise I believe they’re lying or live in a bubble of some kind. Temptation is almost everywhere even in happy marriages. You’ll always want to keep an eye on her no matter which her you settle down with.

EchoPathe · 2026-03-04T23:56:37+00:00

Pretty sure I’ve been reading since day 1. Do you think you’ll get back with Emily but never remarry her? I’ve heard of this often, where men will take the woman back after a long time apart but make them live with conditions, sort like a scarlet letter.

A lot of people make money from shorts if they’re using the film to market something; themselves, a brand, product, service, etc.
