I appreciate him as an artist, but I find his films kinda boring to watch =os I havent seen eraserhead yet tho, so I may give it a go |

Those of you in the UK and with access to FilmFour might be interested to hear they're having a Lynch marathon next Friday consisting of: The Elephant Man Dune Blue Velvet Wild At Heart The Straight Story imo, the guy is the greatest filmmaker in the history of, err, filmmaking. |

Blue Velvet is one of my favorite movies. :) Spookyluke and I want to see Eraserhead... anyone know where the hell this movie can be fund? Oh, and is Mullholland Dr any good? Whenever I read the back of the movie box, I want to see it because it says, "with colors that pop like a whores lipgloss!" or something. :) I love that. ;) |
||||||||

eraserhead was pure art. I loved Dune and I really thought the whole casting was spot on (including sting! He fit perfectly in his role) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes most lynch films are great although i didn't really like dune (actually i though it was crap imo). my favorite one is eraser head. absolutely stunning... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*whimpers and wants to see Eraserhead* Where do you all see this movie?? Cant find it anywhere. ;( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Blue Velvet was fantastic, definitely! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea I think lynch is definitely interesting, eraserhead had me edgy for the entire film, it was excellent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love twin peaks and mulholland drive! Lynch is definetely among my favorite directors... |
||||||||

Has anyone seen Iron Monkey? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I saw Iron Monkey. I thought it was very entertaining. don't expect a whole lot of deep thought from it or anything, but, it's top notch kung fu. As far as Lynch goes I think he's a total genuis when it comes to the technical aspects of film. lighting, color composition, framing of shots, ect... however, I think in some instances he can take his storytelling to unnecessary degrees of abstractness. I mean, sometimes things get wierd just for the shock value of the wierdness. I am fully aware that he makes deliberate choices about EVERY aspect of his films, I just think as a storyteller he tends to make things a little more complicated than they need to be sometimes. even if he is trying to show the psychological turmoil in his characters through cinematic strangeness. that being said twin peaks changed my life and just about every film he's done has been great. that's my 2 cents. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I find that he can be brilliant (Blue Velvet,mulholland dr.,twin peaks,eraserhead,straight story) or shite (dune,wild at heart,lost highway)but even the shite ones are more interesting than half the crap out these days. Incase you havn`t checked it out (you need to become a member for full features) |

I see Donnie Darko as a kind of "lynch for beginners" It's pretty trippy but a little easier to follow |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah,Iron Monkey is a great film,some of the best wire work and kung-fu about.....yuen woo ping always does great fight sequences. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That`s quite a freaky picture of eddie izzard you`ve got there pOgO ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh cool innit ! I got it from |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I despise Eddie Izzard. Dressing up like a women he needs to get a life. On top of that he just isn't at all funny, not in the slightest. WongFeiHung, I watched Iron Monkey the other day I was blown away. I luv the sense of humour - for me it was a different experience to Crouching Tiger and it was probably the first Hong Kong Kung Fu film I've enjoyed in a while. It would have been nice to hear it in Mandarin as oppose to Cantonese though. |

as you may or may not know, lynch is my avatar. hes probably my favorite director id say. i like all the films except Dune, which I had to stop like halfway through, i couldnt take it anymore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D thanks for the link there pOgO,all the paintings are pretty funny.......i remember seeing the orsen welles painting on his show. I have to say though that derren brown scares me a bit,he had me convinced when i watched his programme. Promo,well if enjoyed that style of kung-fu movie check out twin warriors or fist of legend,the same guy who did the fight scenes for iron monkey & crouching tiger (yuen woo ping)did these as well (and they`ve got jet li in them).i have iron monkey on dvd,it doesnt matter what language its in because its dubbed for each region (cantonese,manderin etc.)......the actors in the movie speak different languages so they have to dub it anyway.............but i know what you mean,it would be good to get a good kung-fu movie with real/good sound. |

lynch's vision of dune really dissapointed me. he also missed out some parts of the story, but that kinda goes with the teritory of films from books. but the thing which really annoyed me is all the crap i have to put up with from people who saw the film then said it was crap and think the book is also crap, purely because things like the guild, CHOAM, etc were never mentioned properly in the intro to set the scene. hes still a wicked director tho, dont suppose i could do any better with dune unless i had bout £1 Bn to spend on it! |

lynches' dune beats the crap out of the other versions anyday |

that one scene with david bowie in the twin peaks movie is one of the most psychedelic experiences I think ive ever had without the aide of drugs |
||||||||
|
|

the same thing I wanted to say a day ago |
||||||||

well, Lynch has said in interviews he wanted to do the other books as well, but then the movie bombed, so no sequels. his first cut of Dune was something like 4 hours. but just look at how dense the books are - so much information! hard to translate to film. I really, really hated the voice-overs in Dune. I know, the book has lots of monologue interieur, and I disliked it there too, but it just takes away all subtext. really annoying. and the music - come on! Toto!? anyway.. love all Lynch's other work - great use of sounds and music (except Toto..) in his film. he really has a fine ear as well as a fine eye. I was thinking of joining the David Lynch site, but the $10 per month is still quite a lot for me.. maybe later on.. |

By the ending of Twin Peaks it just got fucking crazy with that guy with white hair popping out everywhere..weird stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tried watching Twin Peaks:Fire Walk with Me the other night but had to turn it off. I was knackered and wasn't in the mood. I find that with some of his films. You need to be in the right frame of mind to tap into the abstraction. |

as far as the box description of mulholland, its a load of crap... dont go by that. i don't even get the whores lipgloss thing, there isn't any prostitution in this movie (might have fit lost highway better)... it IS however one of my top 3 fav lynch films, if not in the top 2... has anyone read the scripts for his unproduced films, namely "ronnie rocket" or "one saliva bubble"... try looking on the net for these, they are VERY good. i really wish he would have made these films. i also have to say i think that angelo badalamenti's compositions are part of what makes a great lynch film: before i even SEE anything, i know it is lynch, because i hear angelo creeping up... they need to do another twin peaks film toot sweet. |

Shame you're not in the UK, you can pick up Eraserhead all over the place :D |

I saw Lost Highway the other week. Wasn't very impressed- reminds me of the film "Nowhere". There was no clever ending that tied it all in and made it make sense, unlike some people I talked to I don't think this was to make it "abstract" or "open to interpretation". I get the impression that they started writing it and couldn't think of an ending so left it vauge. Reminds me of the "And then I woke up." Cop out endings I used to write as a child. |

In my opinion Lynch will never better Blue Velvet, although the first series of Twin Peaks was amazingly good. Ceri: I agree with you to a certain extent, with Lost Highway and Mullholland Drive he just uses a fairly normal explanation to get weird, you can analyse the films to hell and back but there's no point, they have depth in small details but storywise they're no great shakes. |

I still haven't seen twin peaks. I should see if the local video store has series one on DVD... |
