David Lynch's Inland Empire

Yeah, it's going to be great! Lynch is also winning a lifetime acheivment award where he's screening the film.

This is going to be 3 hours of bliss, for me. I've never walked out of a Lynch film and I'm sure that I'll stay glued to my seat for the full 172min. Lynch is never boring. His films give me a feeling that I'm in a surrealistic dream/nightmarish sequence of shots, that come together to form a painting in motion. I'm very chuffed that the rabbits have been brought to the big screen, which they rightly deserve, and that it's shot with spontaneous bursts of ideas that are almost entirely created on the spot. His use of DV camera's will give it a sharp edge and a realistic feel, like for example The Blair Witch or Dogma95 style films.
Very excited! Can't wait! :)

I can't wait!

I'm kind of worried about reading those porkmarras posts because I want to go in fresh. That is the only way to watch a movie.

though, I'll probably just be going by myself because of its length...

..and last time I tried to show a Lynch film (Eraserhead) to other people they left within 20 minutes. (my uncle was the only one who stayed to watch it with me and after it was over he just looks at me and goes "I've never seen anything like that. This is a true classic.")

Seeing a David Lynch film at the cinema usually gives me the kind of feelings that seeing Keiji Haino did the other day....I'm first in line for this. His films don't need to make any sense when they have the visceral, transformative qualities that his films tend to have. I think it's only Eraserhead and Lost Highway I've seen at the cinema but both, especially Lost Highway, was an incredible experience.

TheDom 09.07.2006 02:39 PM

Eraserhead in a theatre sounds like bliss.

All that sound just coming at you from all angles... shiiiit.

I've only seen his movies on my computer (no place to rent them, so I gotta take the torrent route).. but my favorite record store just started stocking DVDs and they got them all. As soon as I get money, the first thing I am getting is Eraserhead.

Disapproving "critcs" who say that Lynch's films make no sense simply do not have any imagination. Lynch has never done a movie where he lays it all out for us. All his movies are mysterys in which the viewer brings thier own interpertaions into, and each one is usually valid. Why must everything have one and final explantion? Movies that allow us to bring our own viewpoints, ideas, and beliefs into them are much more enriching. Certainly some films are better then others, and whether this will be the next "Blue Velvet" or the next "Lost Highway" (which in my view was a lesser film), is really up to each viewer to decide, but I must say that I like Lynch's work more then I dislike it.

I will see this. If it's shown near me. And if it's not, I'll bloody well travel somewhere that it is.

Iain 09.07.2006 06:30 PM

Ooops. When I said Lost Highway I actually meant Mullholland Drive.

Tokolosh 09.28.2006 06:53 AM

Ok... Here's a 6 min mind altering teaser of what to vaguely expect.
Musicals are in peoples!!!!!!

Room to dream DVD scene - Inland Empire
This may or may not be a scene of Inland Empire.
I wonder how many times the word "strange" will be said in this one. :)

My English teacher and I were talking about it. I'll probably have to wait 'till it comes out on DVD though. :(

Alex's Trip 12.02.2006 11:58 AM

I'm excited. I just hope that I'll be able to see it in theaters, and not have to wait for the DVD.

jon boy 12.02.2006 02:01 PM

it was weird actually driving down mullholand drive in LA, i just kept thinking about it all the time.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 12.02.2006 02:09 PM

cryptowonderdruginvogue 12.02.2006 02:11 PM

oh and the mulholland drive soundtrack is amazing

noisemachine 12.02.2006 04:29 PM

In the US, Inland Empire will get a Dec. 15 limited release, then gets a wider release on Dec. 29.

Cant wait.

nomowish 12.02.2006 05:06 PM

I'd much rather see this in a theater just so I can experience it with an audience that either gets it or doesn't get it. I'll never forget the old guy who announced that Mulholland Drive "was the worst movie [he] had ever seen" as people filed out of the theater; or the two women sitting above me who giggled to each other during the first lesbian sex scene. I saw the earliest showing of the film on a Saturday [the first Saturday of the film's release in Miami], the theater was packed.

And I'd love to see it at Midnight, preferrably when I'm half-awake.
