I'm Abed, and I never watch TV.

edit: the gently caress, wrong thread

edit 2: for content, all i really know for sure is that mulholland drive is the best and lost highway is the worst, which is weird since they're so similar. i think fire walk with me might be better than twin peaks but only taken as overall, since the twin peaks finale is literally the best episode of any tv show ever

Actually why is Blue Velvet not number one? It goes Blue Velvet, Lost Highway and then the rest is down to personal preference, but those are definitely the top 2.

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.

I don't know much about film, but I like David Lynch (I really enjoyed Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, and Twin Peaks - a couple of his early short films were cool too I thought). What are some films or filmmakers that you consider to have more artistic merit? I'm legitimately curious about it.

Dune is the only Lynch movie I dislike. Mulholland Drive is good, but I don't understand why everyone raves about it so much more than his other stuff. Right now, my favorite Lynch movie is Lost Highway. It's a great loving movie. I still haven't seen The Straight Story. Need to work on that soon.

I am sorry but Lost Highway was a very interesting experiment and Mulholland Drive was the perfecting of what he experimented with in Lost Highway. Lost highway is still v cool, but Mulholland dr is the perfect distillation of everything he strove for in LH

I think I appreciate Lynch a lot more than I would have maybe ten years ago. I love how Mulholland Dr. maintains this dream-like atmosphere, while having somewhat of a mystery. I

The scene with the hitman having to kill the woman next door and the janitor was hilarious, as was Adam coming home to his wife in bed with Billy Ray Cyrus.

Eh, I think Lost Highway is the most interesting of his three "dream" movies structurally (since it was the only one of the three written from the ground up as such), Inland Empire is the most baffling and intense film of the three, and Mulholland Drive has the best main performance with Naomi Watts. I think Mulholland Drive does occasionally suffer from essentially being an extended and completed TV pilot in a way that Lost Highway's more coherent production avoids, even if Balthazar Getty ain't exactly on the level of Naomi Watts or Laura Dern (Bill Pullman rules though).

Also I can't really list his movies other than putting Wild at Heart waaaaaay on the bottom.

I really don't like a lot of david lynch. I kind of just like bits and pieces, my post was mostly serious, I like all of Dune. It's not a perfect movie, but It's pretty much good throughout, it's just a shame Lynch didn't get final cut and I understand why it made him hate hollywood.

There are a bunch of little sublime moments in his movies that are otherwise filled with stuff i think is boring or terrible.

Wild At Heart is mostly not too good, I think, but one of the first scenes has Sailor/Nic Cage being attacked by a guy hired by Lula's mother, and the way the scene plays out and the metal music starts as the short and brutal violence plays out is a really, really good opener.

Eraserhead is interesting and it's probably the first time a movie ever made me feel distress and unease. It's hard for me to re-watch, but the first time I saw it was definitely some kind of experience i'm not sure that it was positive, but it wasn't a bad movie.
