Inland Empire is such a potent fucking pill because it is lynch at the height of his magnified powers of attention. <BR/><BR/>FWWM is way up there on my list too. <BR/><BR/>If only i could walk sideways like B.O.B. <BR/><BR/>then i'd be a sideways O.M.G.death-hustlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02308169726933480006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256348635404703468.post-47335345648589262842007-12-14T09:08:00.000-05:002007-12-14T09:08:00.000-05:00This is good, I'm glad you've done this. This soun...This is good, I'm glad you've done this. This sounds like so many conversations I've had with people who find my Lynch fascination puzzling. The one thing I would add is that people approach his films with much severity, and I don't get it. He's got an amazing sense of humour and there are moments in every one of his films that are hilarious, but people don't laugh, it's like they think "this isn't meant to be funny". Amongst all the grotesque horror and sadness and weird beauty there's very definitely humour and it is such a vital element of his films to miss. Especially in Twin Peaks! Special Agent Dale Cooper is pure comedy...Lyndall-Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693443056558582701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256348635404703468.post-64414486675581915852007-12-14T07:36:00.000-05:002007-12-14T07:36:00.000-05:00I know what you mean about scenes from his movies ...I know what you mean about scenes from his movies becoming your own memories. I got that, too. I haven't seen Inland Empire or the shorts yet, but the rest I've watched almost in the order you describe. It's hard to pick favourites. I'm very curious about the cross-reference between Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks, though: mail@downinme.com.<BR/><BR/>I love a body of work that is its own parallel universe. I've been thinking a lot about cohesive visual language as regards writing. That's not as pretentious as it sounds, I promise.Ani Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139009026964141906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256348635404703468.post-40514425891043497182007-12-13T19:22:00.000-05:002007-12-13T19:22:00.000-05:00thanks for this, blake. i am going to watch all of...thanks for this, blake. i am going to watch all of them. i really liked Mulholland Drive; that scene where she is singing in the theater is great. it could be because i was drunk when i watched it, but after she sings with such emotion and then she stops moving her mouth and the voice keeps going because she was lip synching - that did something to me. at least that's how i remember it.Josh Madayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12406452048123895315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256348635404703468.post-61139537867252470222007-12-13T18:31:00.000-05:002007-12-13T18:31:00.000-05:00good suggestion. i didn't realize elephant man wa...good suggestion. i didn't realize elephant man was directed by him. it was a destructive movieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
