Watched Mulholland Drive, amazing. The man behind the diner will haunt me. Also I remember seeing Twin Peaks on 'Top 100 Greatest Tv Moments' and it spoiled the end for me. Fuckballs.
I'm watching Eraserhead for the first time tonight. In my room, lights off, with a cold glass of water and a hot bag of popcorn. The popcorn adds to the atmosphere. [editline]06:39PM[/editline] and it has a sweet buttery flavour. [editline]07:14PM[/editline] This reminds me of The Wonder Years. [editline]07:47PM[/editline] Oh so that's why they call it Eraserhead.
Let us know how it goes
I finished it last night. [editline]05:09PM[/editline] I also watched Mulholland Drive again. I'm trying to get my hands on Inland Empire and Twin Peaks.
his best movies were a goofy movie and dirty dancing [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7baCckh-XE&feature=related[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjvuCOlkO4E[/url]

The hot tub scene is the key to the entire experience. When Buzz asks about "Max", the implication is that Goofy is experiencing a personality disconnect* and the mention of "max" triggers a memory of a "trip". But not in any sense a "journey", but truly a "trip" that was part of Goofy's secret participation in a CIA study gone wrong.[/quote]
but seriously the dirty dancing trailer? like. i wish that movie existed.
I really want to see Inland Empire now.
Supposedly David Lynch insists that the title for INLAND EMPIRE has to be all capitalized. [editline]08:33PM[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2hVmI9k9so[/media]
Marilyn Manson wasn't in Lost Highway. It was Trent Reznor.
I like the fact that he leaves most of his movies open for interpretation, making it a unique experience for each viewer, without using artsy-fartsy over the top surrealism. In fact the plots of his more confusing movies like Lost Highway or Mulholland Drive can be solved by simple scenes, which make you go "Ah!" whilst watching them a second time. (i.e. the bed scene in Mulholland Drive or the Moebius loop in Lost Highway)
Anyone else laugh in Eraserhead when Henry after seeing the boiled up baby says, "Oh, you are sick!" I don't know why I laughed. Maybe it was the delivery or maybe because that was right after the only jump scare in the movie. That's amazing. It's one of the scariest movies I've ever seen, but it does it all on ambiance and silence, not gore and cheap scares like most "horror" movies these days. [editline]08:28PM[/editline] David Lynch calls it his most spiritual movie.
The Lady In The Radiator is oddly comforting.
I never understood the meaning of those big cheeks.
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;20243706]Marilyn Manson wasn't in Lost Highway. It was Trent Reznor.[/QUOTE] Incorrect. He contributes the song 'I Put A Spell On You' and appears in a porno clip at the end of the movie.
Only watched Mulholland Drive, but I loved it. The twist made me :pcgaming: Watching INLAND EMPIRE tomorrow.
The first time watching that movie just blew my mind man.
Mulholland Drive or INLAND EMPIRE? Also, if anyone has an interpretation of INLAND EMPIRE, I'd like to hear it, I have it sussed (I think) :)
I haven't seen INLAND EMPIRE. I'd like to see it. Is it as weird as all the reviews say?
Yeah, it's totally bizarre. I hated it first time round. But it's since become my favourite.
Check out what I found. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIQv5W5iUK4[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvUWoj-jCyg[/media]
In Mulholland Drive.. [sp] What the fuck was up with that dude behind the fence? I was scared shitless at that scene, and then you don't hear anything about it later on.. [/sp] Also.. Wasn't it supposed to be a mini-series?

[QUOTE=Gumpen;20278046][sp] Yeah, carrying that blue cube right? Also. What was that about o.O [/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Personally I think at Winkies when Diane meets with the hitman she sees the hobo with the blue box behind the place. Because that's where she arranges the murder there she associates Winkies to be a very bad place, as does the dirty hobo with the box. Naturally they both go into her dream[/sp] But people do have different interpretations of things.

Did you notice, by the way, how poorly Naomi Watts seemed to act in the beginning? I almost gave up on it in the beginning, since it was hilariously badly acted. But then at the audition, she is fucking awesome, and she continues to be for the rest of the movie.
It's a moebius strip, an allegory for Hollywood, and typical Lynch psychogenic fugue fare. The guy behind Winkie's is 'controlling everything' like some sort of sick demiurge. This is possibly an allegory for the evils of Hollywood and how it can distort poor young actresses like Naomi Watts' character. This theme is furthered in INLAND EMPIRE, which takes a much more metaphysical, labyrinthine approach to the issue, with Laura Dern playing three roles instead of Naomi Watts' two.
Yeah she's sort of supposed to be all naive and cheeky at the beginning.

The TV series, Twin Peaks, is equal parts American soap opera drama and downright Lynchian weirdness. Initally Naomi Watts' character is depicted as this naive, budding actor because that is how she has chosen to depict herself, with a wholesome background and an aunt who is a famous actress. Of course, in actual fact, she is [sp]a failed lesbian actress whose girlfriend was stolen from her by the director of a movie she was working on[/sp]

Which I share by the way. David would never admit which interpretation he had in mind though.
