I have a large photo of that train hanging in my office at work just to remind me that no matter how bad my day is going, things could be worse.

Only one person died in that accident and they were not on the train. They just happened to be on the sidewalk underneath it.

I've printed out a pic of Exo's new haircut for much the same reason.

Everybody on the internet is a green libertarian.

Short opinion on Kubrick:

Barry Lyndon was probably my favorite. I was very frustrated watching Lolita (but it was with the characters, I hated them, so good job Kubrick). Spartacus appeared so cookie-cutter that I could hardly detect Kubrick's style, didn't care much for his older black and white ones either, except Dr. Strangelove; so many good moments and tropes in that movie (but overall story is meh). Clockwork Orange is great, but everyone knows that. 2001 was good despite being kind of slow. The Shining was a classic, <3 those Nicholson days.


For Lynch, I haven't seen anything beyond Eraserhead, Lost Highway, and Mulholland Dr. Eraserhead was a little too much shock value randomness and not enough story development, Lost Highway was probably my fav, especially for the soundtrack. Love that Bowie+Eno song.

No film rewards multiple viewings quite like Eraserhead, imo.
