For me, personally, It would be Snatch. It's such a great movie that I could watch again and again. So many interesting characters and a unique style that sets it apart from so many other movies. There's just that extra something in that movie

What about you, fellow Lemmites? What is your favourite movie?

I have a top 3 that's unordered and based entirely on watching experiences that just hit a special and rare spot:

  • 2001 A Space Odyssey
  • Stalker (by Tarkovsky)
  • Season 3 of Twin Peaks (TV, obviously, but that season is filmed like one 18 hr long lynch film and it felt entirely like a cinematic experience, and hit a special spot ... if you know you know we can maybe talk about it in spoiler sections here).

For a long time I was too afraid to watch Stalker. When I did, it‘s hard to describe, it was revelatory. Now I am too scared to watch the Mirror.

Is it worth watching the first two seasons before the third? I’m really only interested in watching Matthew Lillard’s performance

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That is hard to answer.

I don't think there's anyway at all that it will hit or feel the same way if you haven't seen the first two seasons. (keep in mind that many recommend skipping much of season 2, with there being plenty of recommended watch lists out there).

I also suspect that fully appreciating the season requires recalling the time it was made/released (2018).

But if you're only interested in Lillard's performance, there's nothing about that that is tied to the first two seasons, except that the whole thing is likely to be rather confusing and Lillard doesn't feature that prominently.

Thank you.

I had played all three games, but I just watched Stalker (full movie) last night after seeing your comment. Moody as heck.
