David Lynch on iPhone

I can't even fathom why someone would actually watch a movie on their fucking phone, like you're that busy to take the time to sit and enjoy (in your spare time) a cinematic evocation. Anyway, this is what Dave has to say about it...

Curse/Maleficium (sorcery)


Curse

A curse (also called execration) is any expressed wish that some form of adversity or misfortune will befall or attach to some other entity—one or more persons, a place, or an object. In particular, "curse" may refer to a wish that harm or hurt will be inflicted by any supernatural powers, such as a spell, a prayer, an imprecation, an execration, magic, witchcraft, a god, a natural force, or a spirit. In many belief systems, the curse itself (or accompanying ritual) is considered to have some causative force in the result.
