Just thought you'd like to know.

Bagger! i've just discovered that I could have got a remastered version of Blue Velvet with a 45-min Dennis Hopper interview for £5 less than the crap qality DVD with a (whooo!) photo gallery extra.

bah! I'm going off to watch "12 angry men".

That's exactly what I thought before I read the last sentence.

Perhaps now I can understnad why his films are so wierd! Why his mind seems so messed up!

I bet he had a traumatic childhood.....:-D

I've not actually seen Eraserhead yet...

*hangs head in shame*

but that's because I've become complacent and got the school to get it for the DVD library :-)

Interestingly my school has a Lynch connection. Two of the members from crappy techno-rock band "Apartment 26" were two years above me. And they are named so because Apartment 26 is where weird things happen in every Lynch movie. In Blue Velvet Isabella Rosellini's apartment number adds up to 26, in Eraserhead the apartment is 26, I think... in Mulholland Drive the body is discovered in 26. He seems to have a 26 fetish.

I think you're right about Eraserhead though. Lynch is meant to have based it on personal experience. Which really makes you shudder at the thought of his personal experiences.

I read it and it was quite interesting. But I'd really like to see you post a detailed defense of Eraserhead. :-D

Any film where a man walks by an elevator and just stands to look at it for a minute or so (completely pointlessly I might add) cannot be defended successfully. :-D

I was thinking today that Lynch must have done everything on that film himself. He must have written and produced as well as directed. What film studio would take up that project?! Who does it appeal to?! Who would even attempt to write a script for it?!

Lynch must have done it all himself. I'll have to check on the back of the video case as it's never entering my VCR again (another of my dad's Lynch films, not mine!). :-D


"I just cut it like a regular chicken right?" or something close to that....

I agree though, there has been an influx of gumps into this last bastion of grammar and interesting topics.

the best director one is interesting. I posted a relatively detailed defence of Blue Velvet in it... I might expand it into a larger post at some point...

Any part that clicks on my body is infinitely more attractive than most of the soul-less "i get loads of replies" topics that seem to drown anything that could be even possibly good on here.

I'm sure they feel the same way about you...
