fair enough.
my favorite scene, of course, is the one with the yellow light where she's walking down the path and she makes the scariest fucking face.
i wish he'd make another movie like wild at heart.. i like his kind of fragmented, "mobius strip"-influenced movies a lot (basically from lost highway to inland empire -- maybe even a bit with fire walk with me--, excluding the straight story)... but i think i prefer his films that are kind of straightforward yet still bizarre (wild at heart, blue velvet, you know). what's interesting about lynch is that he's actually an amazing, amazing director, as evidenced by the straight story and elephant man, and he could EASILY be in the top tier of directors in hollywood, but he chooses to make anti-commercial art films to satisfy his cult following... it's funny, because he always gets these big actors in his films, but have any of his films actually been commercially successful at all? (seriously, i'm too lazy to look it up; all i know is, twin peaks season 1 was VERY successful, but i don't remember any of his other films raking in the cash) i find it inspiring yet odd that lynch is continued to work within the hollywood system, casting these huge stars, and making these important films, without actually making that much money. very odd.
has anyone seen "rabbits" by the way? i saw it all on youtube, i'm sure it's taken down.. of course, some of it is used in inland empire.. has anyone seen "dumbland"? it's fucking hilarious!! also, i reccomend the shorts of david lynch.
the only lynch thing i haven't seen is "dune". not sure if i even want to bother..
anyway, yeah, lynch is amazing, he's my favorite director (though i occassionally give that nod to cronenberg, who's a BIT more consistent), and inland was good.. i just.. hmm.. i'm curious as to what lynch's next project will be, for sure, because i don't know if he can really get more abstract or self-indulgent than inland empire while still working in the framework of a "hollywood" film ("hollywood" only because he uses famous actors like william h macy and dern and so on and so forth). also, anyone else noticing that every lynch film is longer than the film before it? though the original cut of fire walk with me was apparently 5 hours, heh.
