Fight Club is not particularly deserving of its reputation, but it is an enjoyable movie, if not for the ambience of it. Plot line aside, it has an energetic atmosphere. The fights, the power struggles, the mistrust; it's rooted in moments, as opposed to the movie as a whole.

Eh by the time any of that kicked in I was so detached from the movie that I had a hard time caring.

My favorite Hitchcock.

Is that the "one shot" one? I really want to see it.

Er...he shot the whole thing with really long takes, basically one reel per take. It is a very strange movie.

amazing movie

Blue Velvet

I never get tired of this movie. I love it. I've recently been watching Twin Peaks so I thought I would continue the David Lynch theme.

I guess there are more than a few Blue Velvet fans on here?

HeINEKEN? FUCK THAT SHIT!

Wanna go for a ride?

I never thought fight club was anyone's favorite movie, I just think it's a movie a lot of people don't mind. So, that makes it popular when with a big group of friends! But, sure, it's really great for what it is... a comedy. Heh. Style over substance? Sure. But the substance makes for a pretty great read. I liked the book a bit more than the movie. Both are pretty deserving of their reputation, though -- they're very well-thought-out and well-made even if a bit silly. Fight Club is basically that fugazi song "Merchandise" on repeat. "YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU OWN". Really? Ya sure?

Blue Velvet is a... Masterpiece. I once reccomended it to a chick who hated it and I couldn't really take her taste seriously after that.

I've been watching serial experiment lain.

ps: I'LL FUCK ANYTHING THAT MOVES.

You can never respect anyone who doesn't respect the genius of David Lynch. Twin Peaks is possibly the greatest television show ever. It covers so many genres. The whole cast is brilliant. Although, the guy that plays James annoys me.

Hm. Sounds like you could also be talking about Blue Velvet.

I'll have to disagree there. I think Blue Velvet has both the style and the substance.

Frank Booth is the greatest character ever.

I watched Into The Wild, which I thought was terrible, very disappointing.

Blue Velvet and Wild At Heart are definitely my favourite Lynch films. I think they get the balance right; not trying too hard to be weird (not trying to provide material for nerds to analyse and post 'theories' about on Internet film forums, like Inland Empire), just subtly odd with a sense of humour!

Frank Booth is subtley odd?

put me down as another juno fan. big time! I must have watched 6 times last week. The acting is dead on especially the bit players. Cera does more with his face in one minute that friggin Tommy boy cruise as done his entire career.

Thumbs up for 3:10 to Yuma, No Country was ok I cetainly don't understand it's loft status at the oscars..........

I friggin love this site I just found out TM is playing North Hamptom MA in
Sept....I will make that one.............fuckin A!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I disagree with your disagreement. BV is a postmodern genre film. In other words, it all about surface. If you don't get that, you don't get the movie.

YES
YES
and
YES

into the wild sucks
blue velvet and wild at heart FTW.
blue velvet has two of my favorite songs ever in it (and i was introduced to them because of the movie)
blue velvet and in dreams
and dennis hopper is more brilliant in blue velvet than anyone has ever been in anything ever

I mean, the air of unreality in certain scenes: the smiling townsfolk waving at the beginning, the wholesomeness of the town and people (before Frank appears), the (deliberately?) fake-looking birds at the end.

Frank is just a maniac though his dialogue is blackly funny.

I think that's what makes the film: the way it switches between this idealism and the disturbing 'underworld' of Frank and his gang.

i hate many of his "dream logic" movies.

how was it ?

It was good. I've seen it a couple times

Last two were:

I quite like Almost Famous. Judging by the cover I expected to it be terrible.

Who died and made you David Lynch? The fact is, you have no better idea than me about the meaning and substance/style of the movie.

The movie had depth to it's characters. It also had humour, intelligence and suspense. The movie did not rely on special effects or breath taking camera work.

Blue Velvet is substance over style. But it has style to spare.

My favorite Lynch film is Wild At Heart, though.

evollove - Blue Velvet is both style AND substance. Lynch is obviously in love with the 50's "White Picket" culture, but can "read" the wrongness behind that, in me opinion.

Too much Nicholas Cage, if you ask me.

I can't stand the guy. Don't ask me why. Just can't. He's good in that movie, but it certainly isn't my favorite.

I want to go see Chunnel and Prognosis Negative.

plus Q&A with the cast. I recommend it.

I don't have any major qualms with this statement except to say that Lynch's camera work is very, very good. It might not seem pricey, and it might not actually be pricey, but he's very, very good.

I haven't contributed much to this thread because my favourite film is Bambi and my favourite film-maker of the moment is probably Herr Barney. and as such I simply cannot be fucked to discuss whatever arse-rate shite you're all guffing on about.

oh hey neat that movie was filmed pretty close to here.

seen this?

thanks for that link, I've been wanting to see some richard kern stuff.

The Cremaster dude? Yes!

Matthew Barney for the Win, espesh for "Cremaster 2".

you have to give that one some time... its all about the ending!

I need to see all the Cremaster films, I've only seen "3: The Order" (like, the last 30 minutes of 3)... it.. was alright. Isn't the whole thing on youtube in shit quality haha..
