The best Lynch site I have ever seen... The Black Lodge: http://lynch.batbad.com/ You can get lost in it for hours. Change the channels on the tv for different "worlds"... |

Ever seen "The Alphabet" by David Lynch !? Its a weird movie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alphabet is cool. it's kinda hard to explain to someone who hasn't seen it. all the short films are weird... my favs are "lumiere" and "cowboy & the frenchman" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whats the deeper meaning of "The Alphabet" or am I just to dumb to understand it ? |
||||||||
|
|

Wasn't it Lynch who recently did a miniseries about some people dressed as rabbits? What was that all about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i didnt mean the deeper meaning... i think its just based on a nightmare, like he says in the intro on the dvd. i meant more what happens in it and how its part animated, etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"rabbits" was the title... and yes, that was him. the 3 main stars were the 2 chicks from mullholland and the director guy form mullholland (ill keep character names out of it to keep it basic) ;) it was kinda weak. i see what he was getting at, but it was kinda boring. same with that "dumbland" cartoon he was doing. his site in general is beat. deefinitely not worth te crazy membership fees. |

tibbar: What was he getting at? Rabbits still alludes me... |
||||||||

from what i could surmise, he was trying to paint a picture of entrapment. kind of like watership down, he used these mild animal characters (completely silent and almost motionless) to demonstrate the violence of the world outside of that apartment. the loud train sounds, the clanging factory below the tenement... he basically was trying to paint these characters as being singular and alone. kinda the whole "dont go out there! you dont know whats out there!" thing. the point being, if you let fear control you (particularly fear of the unknown), you will never know freedom. |

i like the idea, i just dont think it makes for a good serial short film type thing. i dont know... i just found myself looking at my watch too often when trying to view the episodes. and they were all kind of the same thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm... any thoughts on some of the more specific bits, such as characters disappearing at the door, or when the room goes red and that jabba the hut sounding thing starts up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love picking apart the details (though the "step back and view as a whole" thing is always the most important with his stuff I think.. that usually needs to be done prior to dissecting the specific moments). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

had to do a lot of that with Mulholland Drive. Watched it about four times thinking about the clues Lynch gave on the DVD before getting a vague idea about what the fuck was going on. Still haven't really grasped it tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i think the vanishing thing was more just a visual to represent how limited their view outside that world was. kinda of like being EXTREMELY near-sighted. you get blurry being just 3 feet away. the room going red... well, if we look at other lynch films, we know he uses like colors for like ideas. it's something that seems to be VERY deliberate. red has always seemed to mean fire or something supernatural in his films. some veil of reality that is like the curtains in the red room keeping us out. with that in mind, i surmise that in the case of the "rabbits" shorts, it represents a closeness or urgency of what is outside that door trying to press in on them. the clostrophobia of "knowing" that the doom outside is utterly certain and immediate. i think the "jabba the hut sounds" have something to do with that. the factory elements sounding almost alive, like something trying to swallow them up. |

mulholland i could disect for at least an hour. sometimes i think i really should write a nice essay outlining that thing for people. it's SUCH a good film. im sure when his next one comes out, ill be as stunned and clueless as the general masses, but i usually am able to do detective works to piece it together. |

i still havn't seen eraserhead... but blue velvet was intense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You think Blue Velvet is intense... just wait till you see Eraserhead :) It's indescribable. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
agreed |

tibbar: I wrote an essay of MD a while back... don't know where the hell I left it =/ On a board somewhere I'm sure... More so than most of Lynch's films, that one I feel is put together SO perfectly... after the first 2 or 3 viewings (once I began to really feel it) the "detective work" was the serious payoff... rewatching bits and connecting the dots in Diane's head... mmm thats good stuff :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hell yes, i think he's gotten better and better with age. i imagine he'll always be my favorite director of all time. him and wes anderson. hehe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i also agree that that plot is SO fricken tightly written, theres literally almost zero gap for error or loose ends. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

tibbar, here's something I'm sure you would appreciate... I worked with a woman a couple years ago (a costumer named Amy Stofsky) and we became good friends. Maybe 2 months after meeting Amy, I come to find out she was the head costumer on Blue Velvet, FWWM, and the pilot shoot of MD :) I was blown away. She showed me her FWWM crew jacket and lent me 2 full photo albums of set polaroids she had saved from the Blue Velvet shoot. She's got some great stories. I plan to get ahold of thoe polaroids again and scan them :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry not Blue Velvet... Wild at Heart. Duh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
She even has polaroids of scenes that were cut from the movie... I remember one specifically from the extended Johnnie Farragut death scene (where they have sex with the headless corpse). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds like fun. |
