i just watched wild at heart with david lynch

fugazifan · 10.15.2007, 07:37 PM

he came to the jerusalem cinemateque and he gave an hour lecture, but that was for film students so i was not there. then they showed wild at heart and he gave a 10 minute Q&A which i was at. he was amazing. to be in the same room as such a legend and to hear him speak was amazing. and my friend, who's whole life and dreams are all because of the inspiration that he gave her through his movies, asked him a question, and he answered it. and answered it to her, so it was like they weere talking.
her mind was blown
and i saw wild at heart for the first time
amazing.
my favorite lynch.

any other thoughts on one of the greatest directors of all time?

damn it! i was gonna make some smart-ass comment since it thought you were trying to say you watched wild at heart BY david lynch. but no, you actually did watch wild at heart WITH DAVID LYNCH!

i hate you.

although, one time i went to what i thought was a screening of a rosa von praunheim film, but turned out to be a lecture given by rosa von praunheim.

did I ever tell you that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality and my belief of personal freedom?

girlgun · 10.15.2007, 09:20 PM

probably my all time fave movie, although i dont really like anything (understatement) he's done since twin peaks. That truly must be badass to watch it with him. I am jealous. My cats are even named lula and sailor.

Willem Defoe is so good in that.

The part where he gets her to say "fuck me," was great.

one of the most disturbing scenes to ever see with your girl, also.

Lynch breaks everything, tears it all apart, and then makes us cry like babies.

Fucking genius.

SOME DAY, HONEY, I WILL! ...BUT I GOTTA GET GOIN!

!@#$%! · 10.15.2007, 11:12 PM

wild at heart is superbly awesome.

did he apologize for inland empire?

luxinterior · 10.15.2007, 11:30 PM

While somewhat on the subject of Willem Dafoe, I sat through Body of Evidence in its entirety this evening...there are no words for something like that.

that depends... do you consider this an apology:

"I’ve never worked on a project in this way before. I don’t know exactly how this thing will finally unfold... This film is very different because I don’t have a script. I write the thing scene by scene and much of it is shot and I don’t have much of a clue where it will end."

yeah that's more of an explanation than an apology. i just want him to give me my 9 dollars back and pay me reparations for all of the 3 hours i wasted there.

ok, maybe i enjoyed 1/3 of that thing-- that still leaves about 2 hours i need back.

haven't seen it yet actually... but i went to an all day screening of matthew barney's cremaster cycle (6 3/4 hours of straight up incomprehensible beauty) and then did it again the next saturday... so now i'm immune...

although now that you've warned me, i might have to take in the tulse luper suitcases as a sort of booster shot.... 5 1/2 hours of peter greenaway on the history of uranium ought to make anything david lynch can throw at me seem like a disney movie.

!@#$%! · 10.16.2007, 12:14 AM

ACK, MATHEW BARNEY. some things i love, others i detest. drawing restraint 9 i watched with a *cough* constant boner; the cremaster cycle, though it left me many indelible images of amazing beauty, was a fucking boring wank, wore than watching flies fuck. what i mean is: awesome stills, terrible movie. the 4th dimension is time.

atsonicpark · 10.16.2007, 01:54 AM

matthew barney is a fucking idiot.

atsonicpark · 10.16.2007, 02:01 AM

1. wild at heart
2. mulholland drive
3. blue velvet
4. lost highway
5. inland empire
6. twin peaks: fire walk with me
7. eraserhead
8. elephant man

that milllionaires shower money upon. oh the stupidity of that man!! where did he go so WRONG??

m1rr0r dash · 10.16.2007, 05:26 AM

i don't see anything wrong with either getting people to pay you ridiculous amounts of money to make surreal movies or getting in bjork's pants. actually they both seem like really good things to me. i honestly think if the media hadn't fawned over him so much, there wouldn't be this kneejerk reaction against him. back in 2002 when the cremaster show was at the guggenheim, and the films first screened, when he was just another obscure artist and not "that vaseline guy," everyone saved their contempt for damien hirst. now here's a guy who didn't just put a shark in a tank or slice a pig in half, he created an insane amount of sculpture, costume, lighting design, music, a whole inter-related series of mythologies, got richard serra to recreate 'throw' with vaseline instead of lead, climbed the atrium of the guggenheim while agnostic front and murphy's law thrash above him, filled an elevator cab in the chrysler building with cement, etc....

anyway, my only point is that he's just doing surrealism. straight and simple. watch un chien andalou again and tell me ONE thing that barney does differently aside from the scale and length of the work.
