Lynch Winners: "More stuff I gotta do..."
posted @1:34 p.m. by Richard Kelly
The winning entries pulled from my Magic Lynchian Hat of Movies & Mystery were TBD readers Ian Yates, Charlie Lyne, and Mick Millard. Well done, gentleman, books and DVDs on the way to you. And there will be copies of Mulholland Drive going to a few runners-up too. Reading all the entries together was neat, as Lynch might say. I was surprised more people didn't plump for one of the many shafts of wit deployed by Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe) in Wild at Heart. My personal favourite, also unrepresented in this poll, happens to be Harry Dean Stanton's grousing trailer park attendant in Fire Walk With Me, only happy when he's got his 'cup of Good Morning America.' But above all one finds oneself thinking - where does Lynch get this stuff from?

Adam Buxton digs Dates
posted @3:52 p.m. by Richard Kelly
If you're finding this site even mildly amusing/diverting, then I assume you won't need any introduction to the comedic ouevre of Adam Buxton, who in both solo capacity and in tandem with Joe Cornish, has done most of the hard thinking about movies that our culture requires. I need only refer you (since you know what I mean) to 'Saving Private Lion'. Adam (I think I'll call him Adam now) has a fine devoted website of his own on which he has made very generous mention of Ten Bad Dates. You'll just need to scroll down the page a bit, i.e. below the headline 'ADAM BUXTON’S POLAROIDS OF COCKS'. For all of us here, it's an honour to be there.
