For anyone who’s interested, I couldn’t live with the best modern hardcore punk comp being unfindable online.

If you, like many, are grieving the loss of David Lynch, I’d like to humbly suggest a number of comics that I feel can trace their lineage back to that wild man:
The One Hand/The Six Fingers - absolutely wild experiment in mainstream comic publishing, a tautly told twin series from the dueling perspectives of a tired cop and ambitious perp. The One Hand is by Ram V and Laurence Campbell, the Six Fingers is by Dan Watters and Sumit Kumar. I can’t stress enough that you should alternate reading between the two series (the One Hand number one, then SF, so on and so forth).
Pluto by Naoki Urasawa - anniversary retelling of the Astro Boy story “The Greatest Robot on Earth.” A frequently gut wrenching but beautiful murder mystery told in 8 volumes.
It’s Lonely At The Centre of the Earth by Zoe Thorogood - CE: suicidal ideation. A fast volume on a bad period in one’s life. Dreams and reality collide. Thorogood is in my top three living artists and this is the story that sealed the deal.

We’ve been watching a whole shitload of movies over here as well, trying to make use of the stacks and stacks of backlog, as well as just trying to save some small amount of money by not heading out every time we’re bored. (Or, if we must head out, using the AMC membership for free movies). Some recent shit:
When Evil Lurks - Argentinian horror from the director of Terrified (NOT Terrifier!) Truly unnerving and frequently jarring, easily the best horror movie I saw all year. Jeeny got it for my birthday and it was the best present. It’s the kind of movie Ari Aster keeps trying and failing to make.
Exhuma - Not gonna lie, I’ve been sleepy lately, so I missed bits and pieces of this one, but it was still very good. More fantastical than scary, think Del Toro style gothic fairy tale, deeply rooted in Korean culture and tradition. Would watch again, I’d love an anthology approach to this series that doesn’t revisit the same subject matter, but places the main characters in new situations.
X & Pearl - watched these more or less back to back so we could rewatch Maxxxine. I think this is the best horror trilogy in recent memory and certainly puts West into the same territory of vision/execution as Eggers and Peele (remarkably different approach notwithstanding). I think C was my favorite before these rewatches, but I don’t think there’s any reasonable case against Pearl at this point. Perfect from start to finish.
Die Hard/Die Hard 2 - we watched these as “family” movies with the dogs. The drop off from one to two is considerable, with Die Harder making one of my most hated movie offenses: acting like we’re suddenly all new here. Home Alone 2 does this, too much exposition, too much explanation of jokes; saying what’s gonna happen and then doing it, doing what’s supposed to happen and then reexplaining. Die Hard 1 is perfect, except I’d never believe that a cop would feel bad about killing a child. McClain spends most of the movie just getting his ass kicked but still trying. He’s not always right or perfect or bigger, just scrappy and resourceful. His wife is probably the only woman with kids in an 80s movie that didn’t look like she was one step into the nursing home. Rickman is such a good villain, and his cunty demeanor and sleek style is such a good contrast to Willis’s haggard ace.
LotR: War of the Rohirrim - this one unfortunately sucked. I fell asleep within ten minutes of sitting down in the theater. Aesthetically beautiful, but strikingly empty for a movie about a war, that takes place in a franchise that demonstrably has the sauce for days when it comes to large scale battles. Too much exposition, forgettable characters, ridiculous motives. Felt like GoT and I mean that with ire and disappointment.
