Just saw it last night. OH YEAH! THAT WAS AWESOME! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you go and see it with your girl |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I didn't. Did you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ever heard of the search feature? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah but I didn't find a topic called "INLAND EMPIRE". The one I found was about the trailer, not the movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im going to see it at some point today. (its all rainy and drizzly, perfect movie going day) stupidly though, i decided to get drunk and smoke all of my weed. david lynch is so much better stoned, it makes you forget to try and follow the plot and just enjoy it. |
||||||||

where you guys seeing this at? they just started doing regularl showings of it here in the san francisco area. I fucking missed the castro premiere because the webstore fucked up and didnt charge my credit card :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I lived in the inland empire for awhile, now I live right outside of it, It has a cool name but really thats where the coolness stops. its pretty fucking boring. What would make it great is if it slowly starting attacking the surrounding citys and added to its empire (who ever actually owns it) |

I'm gonna see it again next week. : ) |

holy shit was that awesome. deffinately the pinnacle of modern lynch style (lost highway/mulholland, i still rate twin peaks above everything) even though it dragged on a bit in the middle. you come out wishing it hadnt been three hours long, but of course it wouldnt have come close to the same impact if it hadnt been. also, by far the best sound design of any lynch film ever. its amazing how far up his own ass david lynch can crawl and still be awesome. the most riveting display of self absorbtion ive ever seen. |

there were a lot of philosophical questions raised in this movies don't u think so? eg. men/man/a man ; goal in life (of course) ; time: continous or not? ; death/atheism... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
after having browsed through his new book (i couldnt actually read it all) ive lost all faith in david lynch's philosophical leaning. he still makes spectacular films tho. great entertainment. i think this realization is akin to deciding that autchre arent some alien music geniuses and instead just b-boys with a lot of weed and a good deal of creativity. |

ive lost all faith in david lynch's philosophical leaning. Why do you say so? are you sure he wasn't ironic?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i'm not a big fan of his films. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
what movie directors do you like best? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
irony? in that book? absolutely not. david lynch takes himself waaaaaay too seriously. nab the audio book of 'catching the big fish' off somewhere (read: demonoid has it, prolly means oink does too) and see if you can detect that slight hint of pretention in his voice < /sarcasm>(yes, he reads his own audio book. dunno if he did the sound design tho :P) |

it was a bit soso |

the Coen Brothers. |

Is it well written, in spite of the ideas? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I don't like their movies usually. The Big Lebowski was OK but the other ones I know (O'Brothers and Ladykiller) are terrible. |

fargo is good |

shit if those three movies are your impression of coen brothers i highly recommend checking out Millers Crossing Barton Fink Blood Simple Raising Arizona and of course Fargo Inland empire was pretty good, but i honestly thought the length hurt it more than helped it. I wish they shaved about 40 minutes or so off of the drawn out ambiently walking around scenes. I thought the DV worked great with the movie. All the over saturated lights gave it a very gritty feel. It makes me irritated when reviewers try to explain the movie's plot as if its even remotely linear. A lot of the reviews i read were like "Laura dern plays 3 different versions of herself, the evil one, the prostitute, the actor". I honestly dont think it was that clear cut, as far as i could tell there was very little linear or explainable story elements past the 30 minute mark. It seemed to be left very ambiguous and open to interpretation. Did anyone else get the impression that it was kind of like a retooling or expansion on the concept in Muholland drive? |

Thats the thing about david lynch. Its all atmosphere. Any attempt at trying to explain it or even discuss it for that matter will make most parties look like idiots. |

When can this be bloody seen in England? |

The Total Film mini review of this was funny as hell. Sounds bonkers, even if he's been making the same film since Lost Highway (not counting Straight Story) |

I saw this last night, it was about an hour too long and the DV cameras make everything look shit. There were some interesting scenes, but it's nowhere near as good as Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway. I won't describe the plot, because there wasn't even an attempt at one after the first half an hour, it was as if he'd filmed about 8 different movies and randomly stuck scenes from them together. |
||||||||

|

No. |

INLAND EMPIRE is not a movie and I think it is wrong to compare it to Lost Highway or Mulholland Drive. It is more like an installation. I would love to see this projected simultanously on 15-20 large screens in a huge space of some factory :) |

Please write a in-depth, detailed analysis of exactly what David Lynch's intentions were in making this film. I'm not goona sit here like a muppet and come out with stuff like "This scene is a deconstruction of the super-ego..." etc, etc... |

First, Lynch is not an intellectual and works only with emotions, or at least that's what he claims. Still, I think INLAND EMPIRE's narrative is very interesting. Laura Dern's character seems to be on several levels of fiction and at several points in time at the same time (her death scene is a good example, with the camera panning out, revealing a studio set). I don't care about theories like "oh she's a prostitute dreaming she's an actress dreaming she's a prostitute", I think it should be taken as purely a game with the narrative. And the DV-look is absolutely fantastic, he makes the best out of it. It's great and ugly and dirty. Some scenes, combined with the deadpan delivery and sloppy editing, look like they're straight out of some terrible horror movie or porno. So of course it looks ridiculous, but ridiculous is always more alien and unsettling. And funny too. Another great scene is when she shoots that guy near the end, and the picture is so overexposed he can just overlay another distorted bleeding face. It's wonderful, ridiculous and scary. Somehow, yes, I think in some ways it's a gratuitous film, but this is a good thing. Life is gratuitous too, fuck having a point. |

Lynch is a great absurdist and has made some awesome movies. In my opinion, his movies aren't particularly deep from the outset, but that's what I like about them. |

no release in my pathetic country. i'm gonna go to France, i guess. also to see this "cartier sponsored" Lynch's exibition. did you see it Combo? and is INLAND EMPIRE being distributed normally, or is it some kind of "film tournee" like in the US? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Distributed normally, it's still in 46 cinemas at the moment. We were planning with friends on maybe going to that exibition in Paris but I guess we won't. |
||||||||

I loved O Brother, Where Art Thou?. Maybe the French don't get it. I hear Lynch drinks 20 cups of coffee a day |

I just saw it at the Odeon in London. I liked the actual film a lot, although it dragged in places, but I couldn't quite get past the DV look. It's fine on close-ups and in scenes with odd filters, but for general shots I found it a bit blurry and cheap looking. That might just be me, though. I really liked how the film played with the idea of films within films and worlds within worlds. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
so im confused, where did the o brother comment come from? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha. i randomly scrolled down and that was the first comment i read, and i just presumed it was relevant.. until i read your post : ) |

people need to use the follow up function more. *follow up purposefully not used for comical effect* |

great movie! |

No, why do you people keep saying it's an "awesome" movie? I have yet to hear one convincing argument as to why it is good. It's a piece of shit, really. |

did you like any other stuff by lynch? |

Guy Maddin has been called the Canadian Lynch. This isn't true but I want to see some of his feature films in full anyway. Here's some short films: |
