Thank you. I also really liked Mandy. That car scene near the end will forever stay with me for some reason.

Very interesting story never thought of fasting that way.

Hei bro Are you looking for a professional youtube thumbnails designer and video SEO expert?

You should give Mind Mapping software a try. Its a great way to record all your thought and collapse or navigate through them as well as quickly reorganize them. Plus you can link maps to maps. Its like creating your own external neural network. I use MindManager and Simplimind. I even use MindManager heavily at work for project management.

It's all just imitation, I respect your thoughts and think the exact same way.. You have to be honestly so picky nowadays or else you waste 2 hours of your life of which you'll never get back.

Man why didn't you consider just researching how to do a parasite cleanse lol

It's good you mention about not getting involved, I'm finding out the same way right now in Japan.

just found your channel man! new sub, cool stuff

Similar to Picnic is The Woods 2006 and The Falling 2014, also check out November 2017 and Beyond the Black Rainbow 2010 for a strange viewing experience.

I wish they'd release Gareth Evans Apostle on disc. I'd love to own the dvd for my collection.

A peculiarity I've found, and speaking purely from the standpoint of a reader, is that I often find lengthier sentences and words easier to read and digest. I am so confused as to why. That's not the case with all longer sentences and words, but perhaps the ones that received the labor you mentioned. In particular, I find Nicolson Baker's prose the closest I ever encountered to "effortless" (in the sense that I require no conscious effort whatsoever to read it and never have to backtrack through his verbose writing), as in the case of this example from The Mezzanine: >> At some earlier point in the morning, my left shoe had become untied, and as I had sat at my desk working on a memo, my foot had sensed its potential freedom and slipped out of the sauna of black cordovan to soothe itself with rhythmic movements over an area of wall-to-wall carpeting under my desk, which, unlike the tamped-down areas of public traffic, was still almost as soft and fibrous as it had been when first installed. ... or this one from Room Temperature: >> But my mother’s informal punctuation in the op-ed letter came as a complete surprise; and the fact that my immediate instinctive response to it was to point out the misplaced commas so harshly that she wept (the only time, as far as I remember, that I ever hurt her feelings - for she understood and was even amused by my teenage request that whenever the two of us walked down the street together, she would please walk at least three yards ahead of me, so that people wouldn’t know we were related; and she even played along in her compliance, whistling, walking with a theatrical solitariness, checking her pocketbook, pausing abruptly to glance at a window display), as if these faulty commas called into question our standing as a family - the fact that I had been instinctively so cruel, made me double up with misery when, after I was married, I came across some sentences in Boswell that were punctuated just as hers had been. Boswell (and De Quincey, Edward Young, and others) had treated the sunken garden of a parenthetical phrase just as my mother had - as something to be prepared for and followed by the transitional rounding and softening of a comma. And such hybrids - of comma and parenthesis, or of semicolon and parenthesis, too - might at least in some cases allow for finer calibrations between phrases, subtler subordinations, irregular varieties of exuberance and magisteriality and fragile conjunction. In our desire for provincial correctness and holy-sounding simplicity and the rapid teachability of intern copy editors we had illegalized all variant forms - and, as with the loss of subvarieties of corn or apples, this homogenization of product was accomplished at a major unforeseen cost: our stiff-jointed prose was less able, so I now huffily thought, full of vengeance against the wrong I had done my mother, to adapt itself to those very novelties of social and technological life whose careful interpretation and weighting was the principal reason for the continued indispensability of the longer sentence. Unfortunately, I'm nowhere close to this skill level in my own writing to justify the length of my own inept sentences, yet I think the reason Baker's prose reads so effortlessly for me is that it mimics how I naturally want to think and speak had I possessed a much broader vocabulary and superior skill in word choice. Perhaps it also has something to do with rhythm and flow? The longer sentences seem to reduce the need for the harshest pauses of the period, and the longer words seem to reduce the harshness of stressed syllables right next to each other. I find a particularly "smooth" and "chatty" quality to his long-windedness and it seems to suit the very introspective and whimsical nature of his narrators.

Hi Christopher,I , like you just love Mr. Lynch's movies with a passion. I m hooked on your channel. You did a fantastic job on this 10 best. Looking forward to more of your broadcasts, Thnk You..CANADA

I'm in that extremely long-winded camp. I've always struggled with verbosity throughout my life. Even among my scientific and engineering colleagues (who already tend to be quite long-winded in their explanations), I'm among the most verbose in my writing. Something I'm very curious about is when words -- which don't add to the literal meaning of a sentence -- become entirely superfluous. As an example, I'm often tempted to write verbosely like this: >> [...] for my own mother shed tears at my cruelty [...] ... as opposed to this shorter form: >> [...] for my mother wept at my cruelty [...] Is the shorter form always superior? I'm so habitually inclined to favor the longer version.

If writing is a hobbie, you're not a professional writer. Definitions matter for clear communication. Just saying.

It’s called House in English.

Nice job keep going ☺️

Great video. Thanks for this thorough breakdown of an interesting sub-genre. 👍

Watch Planet of the Vampires (1965), more like Alien. Also watch "It! The Terror from Beyond Space" (1958), more of a monster movie.

Watch Cold Skin 2017, also takes place in a lighthouse.

I just found your channel and just subb'd! I learned something as I never heard of this term, and I realize that even though I don't care for Westerns in general, I love weird and dark movies and you've mentioned some of the only Westerns I've really liked - Dead Birds, Bone Tomahawk, The Q& the D, and there was a Western on Netlflix a couple years ago called The Harder They Fall that had a lot the elements you mentioned here and that I really enjoyed. I just watched The Proposition and thought it was fantastic so thanks for the rec! So apparently acid is the missing ingredient to get me to enjoy Westerns! 🙂Great video!

Very good tips!

Jacobs ladder is about a break with reality it’s him literally DYING…..😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Good

Great video, thanks! It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who thought Midsommar was silly and annoying.

Blood on satans claw is so underrated. And wicker man is absolutely terrifying to me. I finally watched Mandy for the first time recently and was blown away. Excellent list!

That what she said.

great advice but I'm kinda scared of your eyes

Internet articles are not necessarily the yardstick for proper writing.

Just discovered your channel, and two minutes into this video, I subscribed. Excellent taste, and excellent work, I’m looking forward to watching all of your other videos. Your inclusion of Kenneth Anger’s “Lucifer Rising”, and you properly pronouncing Crowley goes a long way in my estimation of you! You seem to be pretty well-versed in your knowledge of these subjects, and your tastes seem very in line with my own. Thank you for this excellent video, and great selection of movies. I wish you tons of success with your channel!

I have always loved horror. I started reading and watching it from a very young age. More recently I’ve been leaning into folk horror a lot.The Apostle was a big surprise. I did not expect that to be as great as it is. I have to watch Mandy again. The first time through it there were just some scenes that were too slow. I like a slow burn if it has a good payoff, which Mandy does but there were a lot of scenes with people walking or driving down that road that just went on too long for me but that could have just been a mood I was in or something. Will surely give it another watch. Rosemary’s Baby just never hit with me. I saw it the first time when I was around 12 and it just didn’t scare me at all. It all seemed really telegraphed even then

Ratshit you don't have pictures

Meetings with Remarkable Men. Gurdjieff.

When I saw the Raven on the thumbnail 🎉

Should check out Vlad the impaler tarot deck by Travis McHenry. Probably of the coolest tarot decks I've ever seen besides the Marilyn Manson tarot deck.

It may sound weird, but Moby Dick I consider a spiritual text, and it was a major influence on me personally. Really I don't think most readers actually come away understanding what the book is truly about, but if you do, it hits hard. Very angry book, but one that rings true in a lot of ways I think.

I don't know if Carlos really new the Don Character for real, great story though. Every thing I tried in the book involving Don's cognitive dreaming practicing worked a little to good. I was in me 20s when I read the books.

Whats up bro cool video im from Detroit as well thumbs up man❤

I tend towards Gnosticism myself. Violence is woven into the very fabric of this world. Suffering is sine qua non in life. And yet, I can't help but think there's some sort of design to it all. Of course we all like to hold out hope that there's something better beyond.

Great Video🥰🙏

Excellent - so glad you put Dead Man at the top - to me it transcends any genre, and is massively under appreciated, repaying every revisit. Thanks for some new ones, too. Am wondering if you have a Viking psychedelic list (!) with Valhalla Rising and an English Civil War one with A Field In England … cheers

Added to my famous and exhaustive Movies playlist

My favourite westerns are Massacre Time, a Town Called Hell, High Plains Drifter, Django 1966 Captain Apache, Death Rides a Horse and Keoma

I'm not really a huge Stephen King fan, but the Dark Tower books are without doubt, pound for pound, his masterpiece. Especially that first one; The Gunslinger is on another level. The whole series is wild as hell; just pure storytelling, unrestrained and adventurous. And for a man who so often bungles the endings of his books, the ending to the Dark Tower is maybe one of the greatest endings ever written, or at least in my book. Just perfect.

Tremendous list. I just discovered your channel a few minutes ago. I am a huge folk horror fan and have seen all of these as well as the documentary. I agree with all that you have said. I agree with you about Missionary although that is a minority opinion. Well done video.

A very broad view of what Acid Western is. Zachariah is actually the film that pretty much encapsulates what an acid western is but not on the list. Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid or High Plains Drifter, both great films but I wouldn’t call them Acid. Maybe it’s just me but I only categorize stories that take place in late 1800s early 1900 as westerns so Dust Devil I wouldn’t even call a western. Definitely El Topo fits the bill as thats pretty much the king of the acid westerns and it came out around the same time as Zachariah.
