  Strangers with Candy 2006

  ★★★ Watched 28 Nov 2023

  I've been on a 'Strangers with Candy' tear this last few weeks. Watched all 3 series, the extras, the cast interviews, 'The Trip Back' (which Sedaris based Jerri Blank on) and now the feature film which arrrived 5 years after the show aired.

  I was expecting a sequel to the TV series, but unfortunately the film is a fairly straight forward film version of the first series with a few new jokes flung in, but most of them were copied from the show.

  Still a fun watch, because Jerri Blank is one of the all-time great comic characters.

  Michael Cera is Michael Cera in a Michael Cera film where Michael Cera plays Michael Cera in a Michael Cera film.

  Micheal Cera has his Michael Cera moments though.

  3 Michael Ceras out of 5 Michael Ceras. The other 2 Michael Ceras are appearing in the next Michael Cera films starring Michael Cera playing Michael Cera.

  Mulholland Drive 2001

  I saw this by myself in an empty cinema. During the Silencio scene I had a very odd moment, it was almost like synesthesia. As the two women sit alone in the venue and Lynch weaves his magic in that scene I felt like I was in the film, watching from the back corner of Club Silencio as the drama unfolded in front of me. A very special cinema moment for me and one I will never forget.
