David Lynch

[eversonpoe]

About time

Wild At Heart has a new blu-ray release hitting stores May 22nd by Shout! Factory (http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=22791)

How funny I complained about this at the start of this page.

i wonder how this will differ from the Twilight Time version we got...

[ItsChrisRoss]

Is this from the German box set that also includes Inland Empire and Mulholland Drive?

I ask because I ordered this and am hoping the films will contain heretofore unseen supplemental material (especially Lost Highway)

I own the German Blu Ray of Lost Highway (STILL waiting on a proper US release) and it does contain interviews with Lynch in the supplemental material.

New book. A memoir/biography. I'll probably buy it sometime at Barnes & Noble.

[Frozen Beach]

I've been listening to the audio book at work. It's 15 hours long. Think I have 6 hours left, it's pretty great and goes into detail more than you think it would for Lynch.

Trent's gonna have kittens over this

[YouOftenForget]

Yeah...I feel like Lynch was trying to do a glass half full approach and say well he's not being a do-nothing politician. That said, it doesn't take much to notice that Trump is a raging narcissist and alas, he would use this as propaganda.

Yeah no worries, man the click baity headlines trying to rile people up and copy-paste articles omitting information in order to spin it a certain way are not helping. OF COURSE Trump would zero in on a Breitbart article with a headline crafted to kiss his ass, it's probably all he gets off on.

[Wretchedest]

He's definitely an idiot. What he said about Trump was still immensely stupid and deeply disappointing, and unfortunately I'm no longer in a place where it can make excuses for people, even if they're are a former hero to me like David Lynch

I think the real idiots are people who overreact to such a fucking nothing comment. Seriously, what a load of horseshit. It'd be one thing if he said "go Trump, you the man" but this has gotten ridiculous. His comment is basically a backhanded compliment. There is no implication that he supports any of his policies.

I'm on a phone, so I suck at typing and I apologize if there's hostility in my post, but I find this whole situation is completely blown out of purpostion, especially when a guy like Lynch clearly has difficulty articulating himself in interviews, especially since he hates them.

[BRoswell]

Lynch didn't praise Trump. If people actually READ the interview (and not another site's interpretation of it), they would understand what he was saying, and it was certainly not praise. Instead, news sites take "great" and "Trump" and make headlines out of them, and you've already got it in your mind that Lynch said something that he didn't say. "Great" in this context doesn't mean "good". It's meant to describe the impact that Trump will have once he's gone. I mean, shit, does "The Great Destroyer" describe something awesome or something terrifying?

For the record, I'm not a Lynch fanatic, so this has nothing to do with being in denial or anything like that. If Lynch came out as a Trump supporter, I'd have no trouble calling him out on it. That said, I read the interview, and unless you only know one meaning of the word "great", it's not hard to understand what he meant. It's just easy to get people riled up right now, and some news sites know that. Don't fall for the bullshit.

[Wretchedest]

I did read the interview. What he said amounts to a middle ground view of Donald Trump. An admiration for the way he disrupted things.

The comments are awful. I get that his personal is ambiguous and mysterious, but this is not a mysterious or ambiguous issue, it's not a topic to fuck around about.

At one point in the interview he muses that he "may have voted libertarian," it's immensely disappointing.

[BRoswell]

An admiration for the way he disrupted things.

It's not admiration for the man though. It's admiration for the situation we are in. Now, instead of talking about taking action, we're actually seeing people take action. Just look at how many people have decided to run for office who, two years ago, probably had no intention of doing so and were content to just sit on the sidelines. Granted, that's also meant that we've had to deal with some real nutjobs getting their faces out there, but at least we're trying to get beyond the standard issue suits that we're used to seeing.

Beyond all that though, it's not the end of the world even if he did end up being a Trump supporter. I was pretty bummed when I found out that Richard James (Aphex Twin) was a conspiracy theorist, but I still listen to his music. I like Johnny Cash, but I highly doubt I would have agreed with his views while he was alive. Beck is someone I really like too, and he's a Scientologist. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, just because I like an artist's work, I shouldn't just believe that they share the exact same views that I do.

As far as who he voted for in the past, he also said that he voted for Bernie Sanders, so I think it's safe to say that he doesn't just stick to one party like a lot of people do.

[Wretchedest]

That is all still terrible.

[elevenism]

Well Lynch questioned the official narrative of 9/11, so there's that. So this isn't the first time he's expressed ideas that piss a lot of you off.

A couple more thoughts:
there are some libertarian ideas that are attractive to me and I also agree with a whole lot of bernie's ideas. This whole bullshit where you're required to believe either THIS list of things or THAT list is ridiculously reductive. Also, some people voted libertarian partially because they didn't appreciate either candidate.

Secondly, Lynch said trump ISN'T DOING A GOOD JOB but it's possible that his disruption of the system will create a space where others might. While I'm more pessimistic, what Lynch is saying here IS possible: Trump COULD be remembered as a great president for ending the status quo. He MIGHT be paving the way for someone with radical GOOD ideas that would have been considered outlandish before trump. I can't wait to see what OUR new guy is like when the pendulum swings back the other way

And thirdly, who gives a shit?!?!

I REALLY don't care about an artist's political affiliation unless the art itself comes off as political. Otherwise, seriously, why in the holy hell does it matter what this or that celebrity thinks of this or that politician?

[GulDukat]

He supported Gary Johnson ffs. He's a creative guy and has made some good films, but I wouldn't go to him for political insights or analysis.

TBF, if you sat down with a lot of men in Hollywood, they'd line up perfectly as Libertarians, even though they seem to champion socially progressive causes. Don't you dare try to fucking tax them.

I read this interview and Ira Madison had a good point about people who came for Susan Sarandon also sticking up for David Lynch's comments. He's right. This is dumb, and very privileged to champion the "new world order" while glossing over the fact that over 2,000 migrant kids are still separated from their families right now.

To me, this is like saying 'that detonation sure was surprising'. You cant build a society with only bomb detonations

There is really nothing to evaluate about this man. You either endorse sexual abuse, bigotry, dictatorship, censorship, hatred of free speech, or you are opposed to it and defiant

These comments seem like something Andy Warhol would say, and, he is fucking dead. He is fine to propose a non-jugmental view of this situation, but to offer credulity to simply being destructive is probably a huge error. I dont think David Lynch is endorsing him btw hes just trying to be non jugmental, I dont agree with his opinion though. We need to speak out and step up

I kind of doubt Fox news and breitbart will be addressing lynch's clarification. :p

[YouOftenForget]

Things this administration has done thus far has really gotten people to pay more attention to what is going on, people that might have been more passive in other scenarios, which is what I gather he was trying to explain that is beneficial with Trump doing what he does. Trump's retweet exposes that trump likes the "short and fast" of a situation and will read the headline only, which is troubling as you would hope someone at that level would be you know, more of the critical thinking type.

[thevoid99]

I'm not surprised that Lynch has conservative views which I don't mind as I don't entirely agree with but I respect his views. I'm just surprised that he said something about our dictator and it got taken out of context even though he was just talking about how much El Pendejo has managed to make a mess of things. Lynch is right about that.

[onthewall2983]

It better be a new transfer. Wild At Heart wasn't and I can't help but be disappointed by it even though it's a acceptable.

The Kino Lorber rep had this to say on another website

"We acquired the rights last year. We did reach out to the filmmaker. And that's all we can say about it.

The transfer is a very good one, we watched it and it looks great. We're trying to clear three extras and hope to list the additional details next week."

This label is not known for putting out the highest quality of transfers for their releases, as they will put out just what the studio gives them which is often not a good sign. They had to delay the release of Rian Johnson's Brick once Johnson got a hold of them because he wasn't initially informed of it's release.

[Frozen Beach]

It can look better though. The transfer was done in 2004. The technology has gotten better.

[onthewall2983]

No extras for the Lost Highway Blu-ray. Hopefully this means Criterion can put out their own edition sometime down the line.

[Frozen Beach]

A lot of people are angry at Lynch because of no extras. Commentaries, we know he hates them. But interviews and trailers? Bullshit. I don't think Kino is telling the truth.

[onthewall2983]

It's either Kino or Universal people should be angry at.

UGH that's SUCH a bummer. I was anticipating going out to purchase it tomorrow as I only have the standard DVD edition and a German Blu Ray that works here in the US. Torn now. What to do? Its possible we may not see a proper restoration for quite some time.

Well shit. I was trying to debate still getting this. I just feel like I need to have the best possible version UNTIL it is correctly remastered. As stated above, I currently have the standard DVD which you would assume is meh, as well as a german blu ray. I am wondering if this new blu ray will be better than those two, and if so, I still might pick it up. I just want a decent version of the darned thing to hold me over until Lynch remasters it for Criterion.

Thoughts?

The color grading looks much better (and more accurate) than previous Blu-ray (European) releases. Fine detail resolution has also been bumped up overall... there's texture and grain!

I ended up purchasing it largely due to the review on bluray.com. The standard DVD edition I have is very fuzzy and the German Blu Ray I have has a lot of the color washed out compared to other releases.

I havent watched this release yet even though I purchased it yesterday but I am hoping to take the time to give it a watch this weekend and hopefully will be able to note the differences.

[ItsChrisRoss]

Okay: just finished watching it. Can confirm that the picture looks very good. Much less grainy than my German blu ray, which has grain present even in the black.

This version has good coloring and deep blacks. Hardly any grain in the black and in most of the movie, save for one aerial shot.

Sound is good! Music is good but the dialogue has always been SO low at some points although I’m sure Lynch wanted it this way.

All in all I’d say this is the best version out there until we have a proper criterion. I’m not upset I bought this.

I was lucky enough to see Twin Peaks 3 - Ep 8 on the big screen yesterday, as part of the David Lynch 'My Head Is Disconnected' exhibition. I expected it to be amazing, and I was more than right. Proper goosebumps seeing it on such a massive screen with stupendously loud sound. Fantastic exhibition of artworks too.

I finally watched the first half of Inland Empire. Even kinda followed it along, mostly, without losing the plot too many times! My brain needed a rest after the dance sequence though.

It's an intense watch (in a dark room with the sound up, particularly). I recommend breaking Inland Empire up into shorter viewings, though, there's too much information to process for a single sitting. Stretching it out over two or three very late nights, maybe with some chemical assistance: perfect. Truly, it's the most extreme example ever of his dream-logic storytelling. I couldn't stomach it all in one go, but there are bravura moments throughout, so very much worth watching all of it to enjoy. Even the washed-out, primitive-looking digital video cinematography adds to the uneasiness.

If you do watch it, pay special attention to sources of light. David Lynch himself even has a voice-only cameo as the Bucky J, the hapless lighting technician on the film soundstage.

[fillow]

I beg your pardon, but... huh? What?

He's probably replying to Lost Highway Bluray discussion

[Wretchedest]

Yeah I'm just suggesting that it's easy for David Lynch to pick a bone with the quality of the Lost Highway Blu Ray... He's got probably a decent film reel of the movie. In making this comment, I also had in mind Tarantino's ire towards digital. In the mean time as technology is moving forward, a DVD is going to look worse and worse. We have to take what we can can get as far as a Blu Ray is concerned. I think there was a typo in my post that made it seem confusing.

[Frozen Beach]

I'm sure there are legal reasons why he can't just release it his way. Also, Peter Deming, the cinematographer, reached out to Kino through email to offer his assistance. They ignored him. Fuck Kino.

As a massive Lynch fan, I've watched Inland Empire twice now and I just can't get into it. It's the only film of his (not counting Dune) that I don't love. I've seen all his films at least twice, watched all of Twin Peaks 4 times, read his biography, watched the Art Life doc, I love the guy, but Inland Empire just feels like a struggle to get through. IMO The Return is his masterpiece.

I took 4 or 5 of my friends to see Inland Empire when it was released in a small theater in Nashville.... they all hated me for making them sit through it hahaha

After the full Twin Peaks saga, my second favorite Lynch film is probably Inland Empire. That movie feels very pure and without compromise much in the same way that Eraserhead feels like living inside of David's horrific dreams. The rest of his filmography aesthetic is rooted in a "hollywood approved" style of film making. Yes, those films (Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive) are still surreal and mindbending but they're structured and put together in a way for mainstream audiences to consume (not necessarily saying this a bad thing at all). Whereas, Eraserhead and Inland Empire feel like David is pushing his imagination as far as he wants to and is making no attempt to organize those bursts of creativity in any sort of digestable form.

Also, I love Dune! David Lynch's feelings on the film be damned!

Also, people are speculating that it might be part of the Twin Peaks universe, due to cryptic, teasing tweets from Michael Horse and Kyle Mc, and the fact that Lynch said in an interview that he'd be working on "continuing a story" if it weren't for the pandemic.

He also said he'd like to do more with Carrie Page.

So, this thing MIGHT pick up where The Return left off: in an alternate dimension of the Twin Peaks world.

[elevenism]

Also, TWIN PEAKS PRODUCTION INC. is listed as one of the two production companies for this thing, which is apparently called Unrecorded Night.

[imail724]

Lynch announced he's going to be making an announcement tomorrow. Hoping it's something worth making an announcement for an announcement for.

i mean...

it's one of two things, i'll bet.

He's going to announce details about the not-so-secret secret show he's been working on for Netflix, which i think will be a sort of vague twin peaks spinoff, OR,
he's going to make an important announcement about his David Lynch Foundation, while everyone is watching, waiting for news about the Netflix show.

I bet he had another Monica Bellucci dream

[elevenism]

We all know he's creating a show called Unrecorded Knight, with Sari na Sutherland, and some of the same technical cast that worked on the return. We know that Twin Peaks Productions is one of the two companies on the production side of things. We know that he copyrighted 13 episodes, and filming begins in May.

He's just trolling people, I think.
And, it was awesome.

NOOOOOOOOOO!

Netflix No Longer Attached to David Lynch Series (https://scaremag.com/2021/09/david-lynchs-wisteria-aka-twin-peaks-season-4-abandoned/)

This bad news comes from the source who originally leaked the info in the first place, and he was right. The source leaked the info BEFORE the proof.
It probably follows, then, that this is also true.

I hope to god another service snatches this up.

Hopefully it's not because Lynch got himself caught up in a Larry David extortion subplot from Curb Season 11-type situation.

Well, i a way i'm glad, Netflix always supports great projects, just to drop them afterwards, i'm pretty sure this series will see the light of day somewhere else...

I imagine it probably has to do with creative differences/control. You know Lynch will want complete creative control, like with showtime.

They only aired 3 episodes in the US, but 7 were produced and aired internationally. It's from 92.

So, possible false alarm regarding the On The Air series. I'm just not sure.

It LOOKS a little fishy, as it's split up into 1-3 (as one torrent with one file,) 4-6 (same,) and then 7.

Of course, it's ALSO quite possible that this could be from 3 VHS tapes or something? Idk.

I'll try downloading it (I had a lot of other stuff in the queue yesterday) but I've gotta say, that's a pretty unusual way to do something like that, even with old tv shows.

Ok so I DID get all 7 episodes, but I THINk it's from fucking VHS tapes. That's LITERALLY the only files I could find, anywhere.

It's two files with 3 episodes each, and a third with the seventh. The quality isn't great, but this is borderline lost media.

I watched about ten minutes of it, just to make sure it worked, and yeah...it's David Lynch alright. It's weird as SHIT. :p

I have not, tbh it's the first time I'm hearing about it.

I may have seen it as an IMDB credit at one time or another but it never occurred to me to look into it because i hadn't really heard much conversation about it.

I'm guessing you've got it up on Plex so I'll def check it out as soon as i can.

I don't think the show got an optical media release anywhere outside of Japan. There's a Laserdisc and then this DVD (https://revok.com/products/on-the-air-dvds?_pos=1&_sid=9b5c9afd6&_ss=r) (Region 0, but has hardcoded Japanese subs).

NO, actually. I didn't see those!

The version I have is two files of 3 episodes each, and a third of the last one.

That being said, they may be from the same source, just chopped up.

I found these on this new metasearch called Solidtorrents which is pretty dope, but what I just described were the ONLY available files.

I might have to replace them with the ones you linked, as they're labeled S01E01, etc, on my plex, because that's the only way it would recognize the damn things.

And, for Inland Empire:


New 4K Picture & Sound Remaster, supervised by David Lynch, courtesy of Janus Films | Many very special extras and surprises before and after this screening

Say it with me, Criterion Collection.

[imail724]

Would Inland Empire even benefit from a 4k release when it was shot on a gameboy camera?

[Frozen Beach]

Pretty sure the 4k upres is utilizing ai technology, or at least I read that one Facebook.

[fillow]

If Rob can upscale SD AATCHB footage in his spare time to an amazing result, then I'm sure professional remaster of this movie will deliver too, if done right.

[henryeatscereal]

It would be interesting to watch a remastered version, Blu Ray did wonders to movies like Blue Velvet and Fire Walk With Me, pretty sure "Inland Empire" would use the same techniques.

[Frozen Beach]

Well, I mean even Inland Empire benefited from a Blu-ray release because less compression.

Every time this thread gets bumped, I'm both excited and terrified.

I was ESPECIALLY terrified at the "possible bad news" bit.

I didn't expect a new Lynch movie. But we DID have concrete evidence of an impending Netflix show.
Lynch turning a failed tv pilot into a film...that's Mulholland Drive, so I guess it's quite possible.

Sometimes I think he might be done with big projects, though.

This man is just as happy building a table with a coffee cup holder and a place to put a pack of smokes as he is making film, I think.

I don't care about 4k.

I had forgotten it was recently re-released on 4K, hahah. From what I've read, the 4K transfer overall looks great, but the Criterion release of it suffers from some compression/noise issues. The StudioCanal 4K release fares better in that regard, with less compression artifacts in the darker scenes.

[Frozen Beach]

I honestly do not notice the macro blocking people were bringing up about the Mulholland Drive Criterion Blu-ray. I'm not saying it's not there, but you pretty much have to be pixel hunting to notice it.

Yeah, same. Granted, I don't have a great-looking TV screen for picking out fine details like that, but I don't really notice the issues some have pointed out with it.

[burnmotherfucker!]

Yeah, same. Granted, I don't have a great-looking TV screen for picking out fine details like that, but I don't really notice the issues some have pointed out with it.

Same here. My TV is getting pretty old. I think 10+ years. It is 1080p but honestly it does such a good job at making even DVDs and streaming content look good that I have been putting off upgrading for a long time. It does dark colors really well for some reason. Meanwhile I have a friend with a newer TV and almost everything they stream looks like shit with tons of digital artifacts every time there is some shadow or some fog. BUT if I watch a bluray over there it usually looks amazing, more vibrant than my TV. Honestly I think I prefer mine though as shadow and lighting are more important to me than detail. Do I really need to see every pore on someone's face at the expense of digital artifacts with anything other than bluray/4k? My TV will fail eventually though and idk what the best option is, OLED maybe? I don't keep up with these things, I just hope by the time I have to buy one they are dirt cheap.

The Lost Highway bluray that's out has always looked like shit to me, right from the opening scene. I know Lynch doesn't endorse that version either so I'm excited for this Criterion release. I'm also excited for Inland Empire to see what they were able to do with that awful early 2000s digital image. The only movie from back then I give a pass to for using that is 28 Days Later because I just think it kinda works. Even so, I'd like to see an update of that one too.

Perfect attitude, honestly.

Assuming you don't have a $10K Sony TV, native 1080p will always look better on a 1080p screen than it does on a 4K screen. 480 SD will look better on the 1080p screen than the 4K screen (I know I could just say 2160p). I would say we personally use the 4K for only about 10 percent of our viewings, perhaps less.
