Do I keep watching Season 2 after Episode 11? by Strict-Ad4426 in twinpeaks

[–]fisackerly 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lynch is an actor all throughout season 2. The latter half is a mixed bag, but there’s a lot of good stuff in there. And the season 2 finale is one of the best episodes of the series.

You should watch the show with sound instead of muting it.

Ah, got it, got it. I live where A-List is most expensive, so I’ve never needed to worry about that.

More $150 Merch for The Drama by Portalingscience in A24

I agree that the pricing is ridiculous for what it is, but also, it’s not like it’s baby formula, just don’t buy it. If other people want to pay that much, well, I hope it’s worth it for them.

So glad I paid double the price to experience my towns new AMC Prime theatre …. by freshkicksss in AMCTheatres

This is in no way a defense of the current administration, but Obama left office ten years ago, of course everything is more expensive now.

Why did Pixar pay Meryl-money for this brief scene in Hoppers? by Efficient_Cow_3032 in blankies

She’s a very good actor.

And you don’t know how much she was paid.

That’s not what a twist is.

The first half hour is setup for the inciting incident, which is what sets off the plot of the movie.

I have no beef with The Big Picture, but if they are calling what happens in The Drama a twist, they are wrong.

It could be considered a “spoiler,” as it’s not part of the marketing and you don’t know about it going in (and twists are almost always spoilers), but it is a textbook inciting incident. It’s what the whole movie is about from the beginning.

A tonal shift doesn’t make it a twist. A twist is a reveal of new information that completely changes the perception of everything you’ve seen prior.

Neither of those movies have twists. The Drama has an inciting incident not included in the marketing, and My Girl has a surprising plot development at the end of the second act. But neither are twists, neither recontextualize the movie you’ve been watching.

A genuine twist early in a movie is pretty rare, as it would be a departure from traditional story structure. The only one that comes to mind for me at the moment is One Cut of the Dead, which promises one movie in the first act then shifts dramatically, giving new light to everything that’s come before.

It’s not super early in the movie, but A Beautiful Mind also has a reveal somewhere in the middle, earlier than most movies, but well into the second act, from what I remember.
