damn, I've watched the TV-series, but still haven't seen the movie.
It's cheap to (DVD), so maybe I should buy it. I do want the first season to.
Lynch is the man.

Lynch's movies are great as long as one doesn't make the mistake of thinking that he is glorifying the darkness portrayed in his movies, because I really think it is meant to be commentary rather than glorification. If one is mature enough to watch them in that light, that is great, although when I first got into Lynch I thought of it more as something weird and messed up to watch while I was on drugs. For that reason I won't recommend his movies to everyone, but for someone who is mature and capable of discernment they are wonderful films.

dune is the only film of his that i dont like, no one mentioned the straight story, thats a great more obviously straight forward film, but excellent nonetheless, whats with people saying they just rented eraserhead? isnt it banned everywhere? ive never seen it in any video store ever in the usa that ive been to. i still need to pick up the dvd of that and the short films.
also, anyone own the lumiere dvd? i saw it used for $10 and was wondering if its worth since theres like 80 short films on it total.

I liked them all, bar Blue Velvet (I think it COULD have
been great, but truely piss- poor acting by the lead character and some really dodgey script put me off)
Ah haha hahha haa haaa haaa

Perhaps FLUX, you should read over what I said AFTERWARDS instead of picking on my initial mistake.
On a side note: Why the hell is Eraserhead an 18, or banned? I mean, it's dark and weird, but there is hardly any sex, no swearing, no "violence" as such...hmm..

I caught "The Elephant Man" the other night too.. I really liked it, I thought there was some great cinematography of industry accompanied by some great dark atmospheric sounds.
(was Badalamenti responsibe for that score like many other Lynch projects?)

I think so, but I've also heard Lynch has some involvement in the soundtracks of his films too (especially his earlier ones)

he's done a lot of collaboration on the films he's directed - kinda like Johnny Carpenter.

i doubt eraserhead is banned, maybe in the uk, where they banned clockwork orange.
i think it's just too independant looking for videostores

neither of those films are banned in the UK - eraserhead never was, and clockwork orange was retired by the director.

no, it's not Badalamenti. Badalamenti only entered first on Blue Velvet.
the score for The Elephant Man is done by John Morris and is excellent.

"didnt he write a lot of julee cruise's lyrics too??"
Lynch wrote all of Cruise's lyrics for her two albums Floating Into The Night and The Voice of Love, while Badalamenti did all the music.
She was just a puppet ;)

The first one is definitely the best of the two... still, the second one is nice. Similar vibe.
