i thought it was cool, nice atmosphere, i seem to be the only one out of my friends who liked it, what did you think? David lynch wrote allot of that music aswell, sort of dark ambient. time dysfunction and multipul realities... kind of fucks with you... but enjoyable |

I loved it. Seen it 6 times now. I guess deep down there is a conventional narritive somewhere in the movie, but it's all chopped up and sent through a kalidescope and everyone is in the wrong place. |

Yeah this was great kinda disturbing but an interesting film and one of the only films that comes out nowadays thats trying to do something new and cool that actually has some GUTS > I give it the thumbs up i dont know what it was about though but the journey is more interesting than the destination ill give this one 8 stars out of a possible 10. |

unfortunately far from his best work |

it's -his best film -one of the best films ever made |

dariusgriffin only states the facts, so take that as Gospel, yovinto. |

i think lynch is an interesting guy, has anyone heard him talk about transcendental meditation? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it makes me a bit sceptical to be honest |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought his book 'catching the big fish' on meditation. to be honest, it was a lot of new age bs with very little real insight into the practice. he should stick to making films. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, 'cos his life-philosophy won't show in his films. |
||||||||
|
|

He has a weird pompadour. |

hmmm |

i like the idea os tapping into that pure conciousness thing he talks about, i cant imagine that that means exaclty, i suppose being 100% aware of reality |

finally watched all the special features a couple nights ago and there's quite a bit of interesting stuff there. i was surprised to see how much of a total dick david lynch can be. |
||||||||
|

|
|
really? you were surprised? take a look at his body of work.......... |
||||||||
|
|

|

well, it doesn't imo maybe in the straight story |

for me, inland empire is a masterpiece, second only to his mulholland drive in my books. One of my ten favourite films of all time. love the soundtrack as well, not a bad track on there (though I could do without 'locomotion'). i saw him speak here in helsinki. i don't know what to think. I do believe in 'diving it', as he calls it. It doesn't take much believing though, but just doing. It's perfectly possible and recommended. Still, I don't think TM is the _only_ method that can do it, as he claims. But if, through that method, some people reach a state they otherwise wouldn't, good for them. This guru-nonsense just pisses me off. |

Well, he's not a studio stooge, he almost always writes his own films which are usually personal and idiosyncratic, and unless he's the most hacky of hacks ever, his own personality and beliefs are going to be imprinted upon his body of work. |

i'll be honest i didnt fully understand Inland empire, but some of the scenes were so original, i liked the scene were the main woman actress is on the set doing a scene and she says to her co actor 'this feels like one of our scenes' like she has confused reality with the scene, when you think about it, it's like a fake within a fake, there are so many layers in there, there is the real acting, then the acting of the acting, then the moment of confusion where she thinks she is in a private moment off set. |

are they ? "unfotunately hitler didn't succeed in making germany invincible"... no matter how they put that into perspective afterwards, to choose such words is either disgustingly diplomatic or just plain stupid. too bad they won't get the building licence after all. it's no secret lynch is a bit twisted in the head, but to fall for THAT... jeesh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yea, that's exactly what I meant by guru nonsense. Here they also set up a meditation university called 'invincible finland'. They do it all around. Whereas the name sounds pompous and funny, it didn't encounter much resistance here. In Germany it's clearly, and for obvious reasons too, not going down so well! :) i think it's obsessive and pompous and they should change their tactics and rhetoric... but cults don't behave rationally, they're self-defeating. too bad, this could have (had) a positive impact on consciousness studies. |

i'm not too fond of esoteric falderal anyway, but yeah, served as a totalitarian doctrine like in this case i think it even achieves quite the opposite to the self proclaimed effect. |

I'm a bit late to the party but... I feel like Inland Empire has entered my head and will never, ever leave. The world is a different colour today. Fucking hell, best Lynch film ever, and I say that as someone who's watched Eraserhead about 1000 times over the last 18 years thinking that was "the best Lynch film ever". Now downloading torrent of ..... "Rabbits". Goddamn what a film, and the day before I rented "Alien vs Predator 2" portentously sub-titled, "Requiem" and turned it off half way through thinking... why am I looking at the TV? I know that film shouldn't be mentioned in the same post as "Inland Empire"... oh god Lynch, .... I feel I'm in it, or it's in me... nothing will ever be the same. Holy fuck, when I thought all was over... Inland fucking Empire. sorry I can't add anything of meaning to this post, just, holy fuck. |

Yea, it's good, isn't it? My DVD copy just arrived in mail today. It's a meaningful film if you are willing to take it in your life. I thought it was hilarious, and scary, and beautiful. I've seen it twice, but I can hardly wait to see it for a third time. |

Make sure to hear Lynch's story about Coca Cola. It's a doozy! This is a tough movie to watch late at night, the changes in volume are extreme and the patented faint bass rumble always manages to scramble my headphones. For me, nothing will beat the first viewing, unfortunately. |

This is a tough movie to watch late at night, the changes in volume are extreme I watched it last night starting at midnight, and my wife goes to bed early and always complains about the TV being too loud (even though I have it on minimum)... but yeah, I sat there with the remote control keep upping the volume to hear the dialogue and then trying to anticipate a scream or some shocker in the soundtrack to drop it back down again. I'm really looking forward to watching it again but yeah, I've already got that it "won't beat the first viewing" feeling. It's funny bob-bob you should say about "taking it into your life", it does feel... that pervasive, that profound... and I don't mean that it's particularly "meaningful" but just... it's primal and haunted and very real. It gets under your skin and sets up shop with the owls that were already in your head. WATCH IT CLIFF |

I really like it, and actually find it very relaxing to watch because there's no need to worry about some coherent linear story. You can just indulge in each idea as it comes, whether you understand it consciously or not, as you would in a dream. Films like Lord of The Rings are more confusing in my eyes, all these bloody wizards and orcs and elves running about for god knows what reason battling here and there and everywhere. Eraserhead and Inland Empire are the two most enjoyable films to watch ever; you just sit back and let the absurdity flow. You revel in their dark surrealism without a worry as to why she's doing that or he's doing this. |

hahaha, that's so true about "all these bloody wizards and orcs and elves running about"... But it's even worse in movies where I just don't care about the plot, take some average stupid movie: They are trying real hard to justify things and make things appear plausible and logical, but who cares, right? Stop explaining things to me! It makes me more confused. Someone just lost the plot. |

i've said it before and i'll say it again: inland empire was the single most grueling, excruciating, exhausting cinema experience of my life. and i loved it. i can't wait to watch the extended edition or the extra film or whatever all the special features are. oh, and rabbits is awesome, dog_b. |
