i assume his seminal work is just masturbatory fodder for film students who think they can achieve the same success as 'eraserhead', which beyond it's hype, really is just a disjointed student film. i hate anyone who looks into art and "art" too much. sometimes it's nice to make weird things. |

"weird" has such a strictly defined vocabulary, it's not weird at all usually. it's conventional |

i've really only seen blue velvet once while not entirely sober, but, with this pretext, i think david lynch is good director man. aside from the plot which was totally, utterly, clockwork orange fucked up, the directing had a nice, solid miasma of dissociation; cleverly anticipating your train of thot, letting a it run for a bit, then pulling the rug out from under it. i'm a busy man, but i may have to watch lost highway or some shit if we're ever to put this matter to bed |

In the last fortnight I've watched Twin Peaks in its entirety from the Pilot to The Return. Last night I had a bird over and she played Nina Simone's Sinnerman which you'll remember from the closing of Inland Empire (one of the best films ever made). I've watched Eraserhead countless times because I like the atmos, Lynch himself said he'd like to live in that world. Film studies has nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned. I'm waiting for it to get cancelled because there are no "black voices telling their stories" in it. During lockdown my creepy flat felt very Lost Highway so I watched that again and unnerved myself. I'll take the worst Lynch film over any book about Critical Race/Gender Theory EVERY FUCKING TIME |

David Lynch does suck but his movies are still entertaining wank. Entertaining: Twin Peaks, Inland Empire, Elephant Man, Lost Highway That’s a decent output tbf |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Seriously though, is this a thing now, have the Cultural MarxISMs turned on Lynch? Is he "problematic" because of bad feels? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm glad someone else acknowledges inland empire as one of the greatest films of all times though i'm not sure what cultural marxism has to do with it!! david seems like quite a nice guy even if the transcendental meditation bit is a little weird. |

i love twin peaks and lost highway |

i should watch the last season again was a great time |
||||||||

I like Lynch more than I like his output |

"We want an invincible Germany! Invincible Germany" exclaims the "Raja of Germany", dressed in a white robe and golden little crown. "What do you mean?" cries the audience. "Hitler wanted an invincible Germany as well!" "Yes, but unfortunately he didn't succeed!" lol |

I’d say my favourite Lynch is likely Eraserhead but haven’t seen it innyeeeaars. Go ahead and judge but I didn’t manage to finish the new season of twin peaks. Stopped at the “got a light” episode, which I quite liked but then we just never went back to it. Suppose I should?? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Come to think of it , his music is not bad |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think lynch cares about an invincible germany or an invincible university (whatever that means) but i thought he was trolling about the transcendental meditation though now i think it really works for him |
||||||||
|
|

|

I like how David Lynch has the balls to expose the lurking beneath the 1950s American dream! No one else ever does that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know you're trolling for the Lulz but no one has suggested that "only" Lynch ever unearthed anything, and I don't think the point about Blue Velvet is to suggest "hey, all this mad shit be going on while y'all sipping milkshakes in the white-owned diner" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is what he brings out in people, this is the influence he has on civilization. A politically destabilizing force that steadfastly refuses to recognize the achievements of BIPOC. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think the point about Blue Velvet is to suggest "hey, all this mad shit be going on while y'all sipping milkshakes in the white-owned diner" that... kind of... *is* the point...?! to juxtapose Dennis Hopper and Dean Stockwell's world of nastiness against this Archie Comics utopia of lawns and teens. It could have been subtitled The Two Faces of Whiteness. |

as an aside I think frank with his gas huffing is an echo of the guild steersman in dune |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
btw i think it might be the name putting you off. if a newcomer made a film like lost highway or mulholland drive today i think you'd find it interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it is the name, look at it "Lynch" it's right there in his name |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haa! |

i like lynch. funny guy films are very good, too twin peaks was great had the two seasons on dvd lend it to someone forgot who it was dammit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lynch is interested in movies and images not social commentary, don't be a dummy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blue velvet is more about finding an ear in the grass and the weird fake bird at the end than whatever netflix reading you're doing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's a very White take to look for meaning in anything. Read up on some fables, I don't know, like Akoywowa the Spider who made the Moon (over Africa), educate y'all selves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seriously, the best thing about lynch is that he doesn't try to pretend his works are anything more than various arrangements of his particular fixations |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh sure let's hide behind the skirt of cultural appropriation when our favourite cryptofascist white imperialist director's bad psychopolitics are exposed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
> seriously, the best thing about lynch is that he doesn't try to pretend his works are anything more than various arrangements of his particular fixations this is precisely why his unexamined presuppositions are so ripe for hermeneutic discourse |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
And this is how the world ends, not with a bang but with a CIM Critical Theory circle jerk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that a bad thing though though when he is asked what his films are about he does say they are visions of his and start talking about transcendental meditation but i think that's just his way of dodging explaining anything about the script |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

i love critical theory what if i want toonly hear about harry potter forever instead of reading actual sociology |

I have decided to dedicate my life to studying the semiotics of cultural imperialist cinema. Goodbye. |

man i wonder how adorno would feel about twitter threads, poor guy |
||||||||
|

I think he'd be as fucking miserable as you are. |

all i know about harry potter is that dumbledore is gay |
