david_lynch_movies blue velvet birdmad not just mulholland_drive but all of them, i think each one an eerie yet oddly beautiful mindfuck 020515 ... bethany i watch blue velvet wiht my mom at a very young age a)watching it young b) watching it with my mother present young disturbed me greatly twin peaks even better but was without my mom 020515 ... wisdom torch i confess that i was utterly devoted to twin_peaks when i was in high school. 020515 ... birdmad (wild at heart) i've got a dog that barks, sometimes 020515 ... silentbob i hated a straight story. maybe because i expected some sex or violence out of lynch. and because the story of it happened in my state and i heard about it on the news and thought "oh thats an interesting story" but an entire movie? it was hella long too 020516 ... jim_starks i thought there was no way he could top lost highway in the fucking with your head sense. mulholland drive came damn close but still... it's no lost highway, which by the way is no eraserhead. 020516 ... Photophobe Red I agree with you completely there. 020516 ... Sonya Can anyone recommend any of his movies to me besides Muholland Drive? I've already watched Twin Peaks...was obsessed with it. The theme song still rings true in my brain. 020516 ... Sonya correction, MuLholland Drive... *sigh* 020516 ... green formica birdmad Lost_highway Blue_velvet Wild_at_heart Dune the_elephant_man eraserhead 020516 ... Photophobe red (in no particular order) 020516 ... raze you'll probably never see this, bobby, more than twenty years after the fact and all. but i need to chip in a serious dissenting vote when it comes to "the straight story". i love that movie. i think its simplicity is its strength. what you're shown is the heart of a good, stubborn man who's trying to do the impossible. and maybe he's a fool to even try. but what's driving him is love. and that's the purest fuel there is. there are still some unsettling dreamlike moments stitched into the fabric of the thing. lynch-isms, if you like. the sound design is working some pretty sinister magic in the background in some places. what comes to mind now is the scene in which two old men confess to each other what they did and saw during the war, and how it scarred them. i think what lynch himself said when he was asked why he would want to make such a conventional film by his standards tells us all we need to know: "tenderness can be just as abstract as insanity." 230119 what's it to you? who go blather from
