noah's failures

Honestly, the Twin Peaks clip we watched in class a couple weeks ago was very "confusing". As it was meant to be, so that a prelude to a story could get across and David Lynch could say a bit before Twin Peaks starts. Rex told us that the Atomic Bomb as a reference to WW2 and the start of "evil" with the apparent ease of a nuclear bomb drop being in the world, and I believe as well as most people that this aws stated to get more across for the series, in a spectacular manner without interrupting the plot of the story. However it's a prolonged scene, honestly. There's so much going on that doesn't say much aside from the bomb. There's like 12 minutes of exploring into chaotic visuals  and staring at a gas station. Sure you can take that all together with the theme/ juxtaposition of the show's weirdness, becuase looking back on, it really is a genius concept.  But the execution: Watching it all take 12 minutes to zoom in on a gas clo...

In, uh, "Kung Fury" consisting of mostly work done by David Sandberg (2015) There's a clear, set parody pacing throughout the movie to keep the sense of the movie's ideas and charm going on. So it's kinda difficult to tell where the Initial Incident is at, where there's action constantly going on from start to finish that are all equally important. But the initial incident, that the character Kung Fury acts upon, would have to be when Adolf Hitler shoots up the Police Department. In a movie that's constantly action packed and changing all the time, based off the world around Kung Fury (character) and his motivation, the subtlety is shown when the character has to follow through on something he cannot go back on. When Adolf Hitler calls the police department and shoots everyone there through the telephone wire, the character chooses to trace the call despite having just quit his job. Then it goes on from there to same movie. 

Wavelength by Michael Snow (1967) This film gets a lotta "something" from "nothing". There's a loud screaming noise that goes on for about; Longer than you need it to and gives the film this creeping vibe throughout the scenery. And then the scenery is kept at the same look of the same windows and doors, without panning to sides but closing in on a fixed point. It reminded me of a method that forcefully gives the audience some invested feeling, through build up, even if someone can't see anything besides a jmpscare coming out. Something important is kept built up and expected to come add on to the nonexistent plot as the seconds go by. Even if you don't expect anything, and you're just okay with the screaming noise constantly zooming in: The film surprisingly keeps you questioning "What is going on?" and has little to use for that, yet seemingly detailed to a closer degree each time you look back. "What is that car doing back ...
