I'd like to at least ~kind of~ understand it. The movie wasn't bad, and overall I enjoyed it. But holy hell he out-Lynched himself on that one.

cptn_dr posted:Gotta agree, Mulholland Drive is probably my favourite film ever. The Club Silencio scene is an absolute masterpiece. Lynch immediately tells the audience "Hey, everything you're about to see is fake." And then, also immediately, makes the audience forget this and completely buy in to the reality of the scene, and not just once but twice (trumpet player and the singer). He tells you the trick he's about to play on us and we still loving fall for it, and even after falling for it once we're still seduced into his illusion again. Only a supremely talented filmmaker, operating at the very top of their game, could pull that off.

This is the thing that gets me about both films but especially about Mulholland Drive. People get so caught up in thinking Lynch makes weird choices for the sake of weirdness, but both films give you basically everything you need to understand them, rather clearly, within the film. I feel like I really personally enjoy Lost Highway, but Mulholland Drive is probably the better film. I'm going to do Inland Empire sometime in the next few weeks.

Inland Empire is ... I hesitate to call it a bad film, because I think the issue is that I just don't get it, but it's not a film I enjoyed and I don't have a lot of interest in seeing it again. There are some amazing scenes in it, including one that is thematically similar to the Club Silencio scene that really catches you off guard, but as a whole it just didn't work for me.

I'm hoping that the new season will challenge me like FWWM did ("give the fans what they need, not what they want") and intrigue me like MD and LH. If it goes all the way off the deep end like IE I will be very sad.

I like what Lynch says about his movies, they are open to interpretation, there isn't just one way to understand or interpret his movies. And largely they have dream-like logic, highly surreal, that for me he pulls off better than anybody. He doesn't want there to be one correct way to look at a movie like Mulholland Drive, so I just find it odd when people approach it that way. Your reaction to the movie is the right reaction, to me it's about the feeling etc, and just works as is, I don't look at them like a puzzle. I've read the websites about Mulholland Drive in that respect, just kinda seems counter-intuitive to what Lynch does to look at it like there's one way to get it.

I liked the first half of Lost Highway but it felt pretty weak once it got away from Bill Pullman and I wasn't a huge fan after that.

I dig the Balthazar Getty portion as much myself (plus it's got Gary Busey). But speaking of Getty, he's on the cast list for the new Twin Peaks, which is cool.

It's a teaser that doesn't show much of anything but it does have glimpses of new stuff and makes me too excited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI_UZ55d4_A

So is Blue Velvet supposed to be like a dress rehearsal for Twin Peaks or something? Setting-wise, motifs-wise, it's like total deja vu.

Data Graham posted:So is Blue Velvet supposed to be like a dress rehearsal for Twin Peaks or something? Setting-wise, motifs-wise, it's like total deja vu. David Lynch loves the whole "small town/community with a dark underbelly with dive bars and diners" kind of thing. But yeah, there's a lot of similarities between the two though I'd say Blue Velvet is a little less campy and more outright violent. Which makes sense as it is a film and not a network television show.

True. But I mean even down to like the logging trucks driving past the diner facades, the frilly teenage girls' bedrooms, the incestuous sex themes, the seedy nightclubs with lugubriously crooned love songs. You even get McLachlan throwing rocks at a shack. It's freaky.

He just wants the viewers to understand those stories by interpreting his films and not be told the answers in interviews, etc. Lord Krangdar fucked around with this message at 04:02 on May 2, 2017 |

We're not getting a real trailer for the new season, right? It feels like they're just going to dump the new episodes out without a preview.

Yeah, they're being incredibly cryptic and not actually showing any characters or dialogue from the new portion yet. Normally that would hint that a production is trying too hard to be mysterious, but it looks like they're generally trying to be spoiler-free and keep up the mystery. First two parts on the 21st! Then 2 more a week after! http://www.sho.com/twin-peaks/the-return/part/1-and-2

I'm somewhat worried it will be bad but even bad Lynch is still entertaining and will try unconventional things. I don't know whether to be more excited about this or Curb.

I'm pumped and have pretty high expectations. I think especially because he wrote it with Mark, it'll be somewhat dependable. I'm sure it'll be out there though. If he was winging it without a script like Inland Empire, then I might be worried a bit.

I'm sure Lynch and Frost can write something decent, but you still gotta get the performances.

This is the least of my worries (although now I'll be watching for it, drat you!!!) I'm assuming that we will get enough amazing scenes between actors that I'll be able to overlook the beats that don't quite work.

If the show was being brought back by someone other than Lynch/Frost, I would mostly expect this new season to just be a remix of the original two + FWWM, as so often happens with franchise revivals. But Lynch certainly is not the kind of person to do that and has only gotten crazier with age, and hell even Frost has some odd ideas in his own right like with his book last year starting with a pretty lengthy section about the Louisiana Purchase. For better or worse, I do not expect this season to be predictable.

One of the biggest things I'll miss from the original series is the chemistry between Coop and Truman. It is always a delight to watch them together and it will be sad that Ontkean won't be returning.

I loved how in the pilot, Lynch and Frost subverted all the cliches by having Coop say that he was in charge of the investigation and he hoped there wouldn't be any problems with that, and Truman said he was happy and grateful the FBI was here to help, and he was looking forward to working with Coop and learning from him. In any other movie or show, that would have caused friction and hard feelings, or led to a rivalry, but here, it was the start of a beautiful friendship.

I might have missed this being mentioned before, but does anyone know if it is going to be released on Showtime Hulu subscription at the same time as broadcast? I don't have cable and was planning to get a Showtime Hulu sub just for this, but just need to know when to schedule my watching party.
