I watched The Great Muppet Caper. Is a h...

Burns & Johnson: March 2007
http://burnsandjohnson.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 18, 2007. At this point, INLAND EMPIRE. Also seems to depart from the thematically related, cyclic narratives in Lost Highway. In particular works as the filmic equivalent of a Moebius strip, INLAND EMPIRE. Achieves proper closure and, surprisingly so, on a joyous and upbeat note. Yes, INLAND EMPIRE. Is morbidly beautiful.
