Re: DUNE to Be Released 10/21/21

That's something Lynch himself has rallied against, while at the same time his work is some of the most autological in popular culture. So it's an interesting paradox to chew on. Do you mean like how he refuses to do commentaries? It's certainly a dilemma, and even trying to actively counteract it ...

Re: DUNE to Be Released 10/21/21

... and the other gets a huge booster seat at the table solely because of the name billed as director. Another filmmaker releasing the exact same product would never get anywhere near the same benefit of the doubt. I'm not a fan of this kind of statement because it's not falsifiable. I can make any...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

I caught up on the last page and I’d just like to say that I’m very thankful for everyone on this forum and I hope each and everyone of y’all on here are doing well. I haven’t been on here long but I’ve felt so welcomed and I’m very glad to be apart of this great community. Meanwhile…. In my mind y...

Re: DUNE to Be Released 10/21/21

Yeah, there's something kind of strange about how sleek and modern the new Dune is aesthetically. It's supposed to be a setting where technology was done away with, but, to steal from a random tweet, I can't take the immersion seriously because Timothee Chalamet 'has a face that knows what texting i...

Re: DL and Interpol and NFT

One of my other GOAT artists and huge source of inspiration (imagine a Lynch/AFX/Chris Cunningham collab). I'm surprised afx went with it in the first place, though Mine too! :) To my knowledge, AFX has never even referenced Lynch in any way, surprisingly, considering so many of my other favorite a...

Re: DL and Interpol and NFT

I think we owe it to everyone to presume they know exactly what they're doing unless proven otherwise. It's not like details we're hidden from him. He knew it was to sell "shares" of a token denoting pretend ownership of a fraction of a music video. Lynch's lithographic prints can fetch $...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

Lynch is a tad naive when it comes to certain matters. I believe he has (or had) little idea of what he's really selling. I've yet to see an artist do NFT without a majority of fan reaction being negative, and it always seems like the fans are upset because they know more about the negatives than t...

Re: Alec Baldwin/Rust Tragedy

In fact, maybe this is a moment to say movies should not have live ammunition or even blanks, anywhere near a movie set while COVID is going on. And while we are at it- maybe we should expand this to stunts or anything else that is dangerous needs to be handled only by union people, and with extrem...

Now that Lynch has thrown his hat into the ring, zero artists I have respect for and follow closely have failed to fall into the NFT racket.

I think at this point it's pretty obvious it's just something a manager or PR rep brings up for an OK and then it happens.

Re: Alec Baldwin/Rust Tragedy

This might be a tricky thread to keep from verging into straight politics talk. It seems it was a perfect storm of circumstance, including industry politics and, of course, COVID. IATSE (the union for propmasters, wardrobe, basically anyone not behind or in front of the camera) has been on the verge...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

But those are iconic scenes by iconic actors. Yet at the time, there were dismissive reactions and nobody knew who they were. On my first watch at age 18, I found the characters weird and didn't feel sad at all. Many years and rewatches later, it becomes surreal to see my own reaction in others. I'...

Since you don't know them you don't really emphatize with them. Compare and contrast with the original, where you really got to know the characters and subsequently felt for them. We don't know Sarah Palmer or Leland Palmer at all when they're introduced, but I had no trouble empathizing with them ...

I'm not sure that I've seen these comments. Do you have any idea where they might be found? It was the interview he did with Cahiers du Cinema. The full interview is here , and there used to be a reddit post with a full translation that unfortunately was removed. You can still find snippets and peo...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

I really think it boils down to what you think is or isn't proper in terms of narrative, what it has to do in order to reflect or inform life, what your perspective is or isn't on what is meant by 'realism' and what obligations one has to convention and narrative tradition. Although, again, to pause...
