These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



I imagine most of the people in this thread have already read this, but just in case:

One of my favorite DFW pieces, and some great insight on Lynch from a man who didn't even get to interview him.

Just got back from a Lynch-inspired art exhibit. They had a projector showing some of his older stuff on a loop, so I got to see some things I'd never seen before like Alphabet and The Grandmother. Seeing Six Men Getting Sick (Six Times) projected onto a giant wall with the air raid sirens cranked up was very cool.

They also had a separate lounge that they turned into the Black Lodge (you had to walk through a miniature maze of red curtains with a strobe light going off to get there) where they had a band playing smooth jazz, and they had a group doing performance art in the corner.

Last but not least, a fine arts gallery where they served complimentary coffee and cherry pie. I was hoping for more art that was "inspired" by Lynch, rather than 90% of it being "here's a painting of Lynch / scenes from his work," but it was still really cool. Most of it was depicting Twin Peaks, which wasn't really a surprise. Oddly enough, the rest was almost entirely split between Dune and Elephant Man.

Six Men Getting Sick is pretty cool, too. I saw it at a Lynch-inspired art exhibit where they had a room set aside to project his short films. Seeing that one on a huge screen and with those sirens really blaring really gave me a better appreciation for it.
