Watch Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive and then Inland Empire.

Really underrated

Inland Empire ruined me in unimaginable ways. Really good film though

Originally watched it in the cinema after looking forwars to it for months. Thought it was good but felt a bit let-down for some reason.
I couldn't get the film out of my head afterwards - I thought about it all the time, certainly every day.
Then I realised it's my favourite film.

It's also one of the most quotable movies ever but you wouldn't see it on any lists.

It seems like lot of people have this weird reaction to Blue Velvet. They dislike it and after rewatch or later they like it much more. Ebert, Kermode both talked about this.

this

Ebert still wasn't convinced after seeing it again IIRC.
I don't think I'm the same as them though. I didn't dislike the film, and wasn't offended by the violence, my issue was I thought I'd hyped it up too much. It then turned out that the whole film had stuck with me.
I do like Kermode's video where he says sometimes we're not good enough for some films. A lot of people get very adament on their opinions of films but you have to wonder how things may change down the line.
Disagree with this. IE belongs down with Dune.

saw a 35mm print of this a few days ago at the kinoplex. It was my first time seeing a Lynch film, and halfway throughout I came to a conclusion;
"yeah, I'm thinking this is Lynch!"

This is a great way to sum up Lynch. He's somebody that know EXACTLY what he's doing somehow (even if he does many things by intuition) Twin peaks the return was like being sat down at school and having a master teach you the most incredible lesson as slowly as he could, the slower it went the more profound it became.

The Return is many things, but it certainly isn't profound.

Is Lynch done with feature length kinos? Inland Empire was in 2006.

>Ebert
He never got Lynch. He just gave good reviews to his movies later in life for the same reason he gave Kubrick's movies good reviews later in life: everybody is praising them, so I better start doing it to before somebody calls me stupid

I think it's his best film

He has a script ready, but, like many times before, finding producers willing to fund the project is a problem.

He has some script called Antelope Don’t Run No More. He was in Netflix headquarters last year but nothing since.

Bump

BV is underrated as fuck and is a legitimate masterpiece with the exception of the retarded mechanical robin

Where was that?

The very end, as "Mysteries of Love" plays.

True story, in early 00s I participated in the dvdtalk forums, and they had monthly contests, and I won Blue Velvet SE DVD in my first month or two of joining that forum
it's pretty much the only thing i've ever won, I'd never seen it or heard of it at the time, i was noobish at movie collecting at the time. I put off watching it for a couple of years, and decided to watch it
it was my first time watching Lynch too, and I havent stopped since
good times
also this

The robin obviously being fake aids the themes imo

What did you think about Bobby Peru in WaH?
