how about that David Lynch guy?

ok ok, i have seen the fallowing of his movies:

Blue Velvet
Fire Walk With Me
Lost Highway
Mulhullen Drive
Also i have seen like all of the Twin Peaks episodes.

so out of the five, i don't know how i feel about him. i
have to tell you Mulhullen Drive scared the fuck out of me,
and i am not sure why... i really liked Blue Velvet. Twin
Peaks and it's movie, Fire Walk With My, were fucking
brilliant. but i thought he really lost his touch on Lost
Highway! i really didn't think it was all that great....

any one here a fan.. or sorta like his stuff?

I think he is a really good director. You should see
Erasurehead that's his best work. Watch Lost Highway again.
I didn't like it the first time. It takes time to grow on
ya.

I am a fan of David Lynch. I've seen most of his movies, and
Twin Peaks.

It's silly cause I like him but I have no idea about what
half his films are about ?!?

What's mulholland drive like?

Mulhuland, is like two seperate stories... both have the
same two actresses in it. it is just a matter of figuring
out the sypmbolism, and what is real or not.

I am having trouble locating EraserHead. one of the fucking
movie stores 'round here have it,,,, cunts.

i thought mullholland drive was one story about actresses,
but since that isn't explained, it appears as two different
stories.
i won't ellaborte on the symbolism either.

blue velvet was alright, and i don't remeber hearts of fire
or whatever that one was called, so it must not have been
that good.
the two films i haven't sene of his are eraserhead, cuz no
one has it around me either, and i've moved a fair bit!
and the one he did before mullholand drive.

lost highway adn mulholland drive kick ass!
but i said that already!

i loved lost highway adn mulholland drive, i think they are
his best films.

anyone ever see dune?
pure shite w/ wicked costume design.

Dune had so much cut out of it there was no way it was ever
going to make sense

I'd like to read the book just to try and understand it
better, but I can't be arsed

you seem to have a problem with the word 'mulholland'. Why
is that?

Story Explanations - My versions
Could be construed as SPOILERS

Lost Highway - A man kills his wife over infidelities and
general relationship unhappiness. This man is sent to
prison for life. Rather than deal with the situation at
hand, he recesses to a fantasy land in his mind. Abused
children do a similar thing, called a Fugue, to escape from
the abuse they are suffering. In this fantasy land, he
fantasises about his relationship as he wanted it to be (why
the women in both stories look the same). He is so f#cked
up that even in a dream he can't control his negative
impulses. His fantasy turns to sh#t, just like his real
life relationship. That's my interpretation after many,
many viewings.

Mulholland Drive - A failed Hollywood actress involved in an
unhappy lesbian relationship daydreams of another life with
a beautiful actress whom she has worked with in the past.

Hope that helps the curious.

Dune is fantastic it is a shame that they ran out of money
and couldn't make it into a trilogy as originally intended.

golgiapp:straight on about lost highway.
there's a bit more to the theme of MD though.

dune was supposed to be a trilogy?!
that makes total sense why thye tried to shove so much info
into 2.5 hours.
if i hadn't ofread the books i'd've been lost!.
the gurrl that i watched it with the first time couldn't
follow it at all and i don't blame her!
wicked costume design though!

Dune wasn't gonna a be a trilogy I don't think... it's just
the uncut version runs at five and a half hours

Alejandro Jodorwosky (Sante Sangre, El Topo, The Holy
Mountain) was originally supposed make Dune. He had set
designs, costumes, a script and over a year of
pre-production. But then his money man changed his mind and
the whole thing fell through. He was going to have
different musical acts do the scores to the various planets
and areas. I know Pink Floyd was going to do one of them.
You can see the set and costume designs in a documentary
about Jodorwosky on the DVD for his film 'Fando and Lis'.
It would have been very good.

mulholland drive isn't 2 separate stories, but it is one of
his most confusing (and also one of his best, but not
because of the confusion). lost highway is confusing as well
but are you suggesting that movie sucks cos you didn't "get
it", thanksomuch? no disrespect, but that's what i got out
of your comment. as for eraserhead, that shit is out of
print. to see it you have to spend a ton of time tracking it
down in stores, wait for a lynch movie festival, pay over
$30 to get the dvd from lynch's web site, or download it off
morpheus like i did a year ago. it's divx and there's no
loss in quality at all.

GolgiApp: that's how i always saw LH as well, i figured it
was a fairly obvious realization for anyone who would be
watching david lynch films in the first place. not sure if i
agree with your MD conclusion, though i like it. that's not
how i perceived it, but i've only seen it once so far. i'm
going to pick up the dvd soon =)

1.-ERASERHEAD (by far)
2.-Lost Highway
3.-Mullholland Drive

he´s a kick_ass writer, director.....a perfectionist and an
artist as well...

GolgiApp, thanks man. i thought purhaps the main girl just
led a double life..... like when you see the pic of the two
girls (the same actress) with two guys and the kid asks if
that is her in the pic and she says "that's me." and points
to herself. i noticed the kid looked sorta scared. then
when you go back later to the same pic when the dectives are
in that house, you see the pic and the blonde is not
there...

Hey, no one's mentioned Wild at Heart. This is one of my
faves. The bit with the guy talking about his dog is
hilarious "you don't know my dog and yet you picture him in
your mind" (or words to that effect).

no one mentioned elephant man either and that's a powerful
and interesting film. also, blue velvet is grossly
underappreciated in this thread! that's such an amazing
movie and a dvd worth owning.

Twin Peaks Season 1 DVD is beautifully packaged, and
definitely worth owning if you are a fan. I've heard Season
2 DVD is forthcoming, but I think the series really started
to suck after they revealed Laura's killer. But up until
then it was some of the best TV ever made.

Mulholland Drive is great, alot of my mates don't have the
patience to sit through it but I thought it was well done,
his "dumbland movies" on his website are also a hoot too
