Nobody else could do what he did. (Though many tried).
'LYNCHIAN' will forever be a word in the movie making lexicon.
It's good of you to stop by and offer your reflections.Also associated with boring a lot of the time.
Lover Twin Peaks, wasn’t it impressed with the spin off movie or sequel series and other than that I found a lot of his films to be pretentious.
You do realise that not everyone has the same opinion as you, right?It's good of you to stop by and offer your reflections.
I just meant it seemed like a weird moment to opine thusly, on the day Lynch died. Then you edited to add that you had only read the most recent post. No worries.You do realise that not everyone has the same opinion as you, right?
My wife likes his movies and we have had various (sometimes) heated conversations about it but it doesn’t change my feelings towards his films which is that they are genuinely boring.
Very sad news. I know he mentioned not long ago that he had emphysema from all the years of smoking but that it was so bad that he couldn't leave the house any more to direct. Rest in peace.
I've spent days deciphering every little bit of Mulholland Dr., but that's when I was young, dumb, full of... free time, which seemed to move much slower. Now that I've grown, I realized he was just making mostly incoherent artsy things without a 'solution', pranking the audience, always 'mysteriously' suggesting there's a meaning to it all. Mulholland Dr. especially is just a hurriedly re-edited and repurposed failed pilot of a canceled TV series, that is probably better as a movie - otherwise imagine it dragging out into something like Twin Peaks...
Lost Highway is the only film of his I truly love, even though I don't understand it completely either.
Lynchian became a negative description of something for me, sadly. Maybe I'm just stupid, but unexplained things irritate me.![]()
