    it’s got some surreal banger bits… but also it fucking drags a lot.

    when I was younger I did not understand that lots of people were enamored with macglaughin and the mysteriousness but… didn’t really pay off for me, ymmv.

    I’m a big fan of other Lynch stuff, so I don’t mind the odder bits, just the pacing of a series probably.

      This is exactly the scenario I’ve got with some JRPGs; currently, Trails in the Sky.

      Anyone who makes it to its ending adores it. But in fairness, that is a huge and heavy filter on opinions. Sooo much unnecessary dialog and bloat, even a few “Oh, Japan” moments.

      Makes me wish for a job as a script editor (game or TV) so I can zero in on innocuous lines like “It was great to meet you” and fuss “This does not add information, or character, or charm!! Skip it!”
