Been on a bit of a DL kick lately. Over the past 2 weeks, I've watched Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks (the TV series and the FWWM movie) Lost Highway and yet another viewing of Blue Velvet. Read a bunch of articles/text on Lynch (and these specific films too) which gave me a much better appreciation of these works. Kinda neat to watch a bunch of films by the same director within a short period of time - gave me a good appreciation of his style/tone/themes etc....
I think my fav out of the above films is Mulholland Drive. There are so many levels to this one....its really great. I'm still surprised that Lynch originally created this for TV (for ABC?) I'm sure the version that he submitted to the network was somewhat toned down, but DL really thought they would air something like this on network television?

I read a weird intervew with him a couple of months back.
He's now heavily into Transcendental Meditation & backing the organisation full tilt.
I think his film work will suffer in the future, since it's become his priority. Although I sincerely hope not.
Wish David Lynch would film: "Frankenstien"..... - RC 20:01:05 07/27/04 (0)
C'mon now, would'nt that be a film to see?
Edward Norton(or Johnny Depp?) as : Victor Frankenstien

As the monster: (?)..the big black dude from "Green Mile"
As Mrs Frankenstien: ...Gee I dunno ?????
The Kenneth Brannugh (misspelled) film sucked. All remakes sucked.
Lynch is the one too bring this story back, and to scare you & at the same time....have pity for the monster.
Look at Eraser Head & Elephant Man and I know I'm right...just wish it would happen.

- One of the best reviews of Mullholland Drive... - mkuller 17:15:33 07/27/04 (1)
  ...was in The Perfect Vision written by Jonathan Valin. See if you can find it. Since seeing this film Naomi Watts is one of my favorite actresses.

    Yes, and a Disney film, to boot. The late Richard Farnsworth very moving and Sissy Spacek once again demonstrating the range she has.
    This one was one reason I reconciled with an estranged relative myself.
    - Touching, beautifully filmed, but boring...not one of Lynch's best.(nt) - mkuller 11:15:46 07/28/04 (1)

        You must be kidding. Slow moving, yes (delibrately so, you can tell from the opening pan) but never boring.
  - So straight you have to remind yourself it's by Lynch . . . his best. n - albee33 21:41:22 07/27/04 (0)
