yeah way cooler imho

Imagining lynch’s people putting the title out there after he is dismayed at everyone making desperate housewives jokes, similar to the agent Jeffries thing where he was like “it’s just a device, why does everyone keep calling it a tea kettle”

Colour me excited for this btw, Netflix is good now

My hometown (home of the world's largest wistaria plant) actually has an annual Wistaria Festival so without any evidence* I'm hoping that it will all be filmed here.

*A lot of film production is done here... Laura Palmer's funeral in the original TP was filmed in the town cemetery.

Happy Birthday, DL!
Also, currently reading "Room To Dream" and it's great. The definitive (auto)biography?

sorry to #onethread but if the GOP was smart they'd try to tap him for the next GOP nominee

What are the chances that TP S4 may be coming? Several cast members obliquely chimed in on twitter.

whomst?

stimmy stimmy yah (Simon H.), Monday, 1 February 2021 05:28 (four years ago)

I have to imagine chances are low if he's focusing on a whole new project.

Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Monday, 1 February 2021 05:42 (four years ago)

it's possible the new netflix project could be twin peaks-related and lynch has said the occasional thing which has suggested that could be the case

ufo, Monday, 1 February 2021 05:49 (four years ago)

I'm guessing it will be Peaks related to the same extent Mulholland Dr is Peaks related.

my hopes are some new series that's funded and substantial,
my expectations are the february weather outlook

Keep us posted.

pomenitul, Monday, 1 February 2021 15:37 (four years ago)

I don't know if it was posted itt or in a different t but someone noted that the production company name affiliated with the new Lynch project has only previously been used for TP-related projects. So...

I really recommend “Room To Dream” . Based on the anecdotes in there about how physically gruelling it was for him to make TP:TR I’d be surprised if he puts himself through something similar again.

I'm sort of fascinated by Lynch's late-career presence in the culture, his weather reports, this kind of affection that I feel like a lot of people feel for him even if they haven't seen all of his work. Thinking about him a lot lately, because we've been doing the entire Twin Peaks run with our kids (skipping a lot of the non-Lynch backhalf of S2). We're all the way thru Fire Walk With Me and up to about episode 6 of TP:TR. The kids (ages 13 and 16) both get him, they think he's weird and funny and disturbing, they laugh and freak out in all the right places.

He almost reminds me of Bob Dylan, the way he has both created a remarkable, enduring and influential body of work (I see so many things in so many movies, music videos, TV shows that have obviously absorbed Lynch) and has also created himself as a figure, a sort of friendly unreliable narrator that you're always happy to hear from.

He’s pretty similar to Herzog in that respect.

Alba, Saturday, 17 April 2021 19:27 (four years ago)

The folksy vibe that he affects is personally kind of a turn-off for me, and I've given him the side-eye for a few things over the years - but I watched every minute of the TP: The Return behind-the-scenes stuff, and not only was it really cool watching him work (actually kind of amazing to see him describe to actors how a scene should look, and he's describing the exact finished scene you already have in your head), but I guess it also led me to like/respect him more as a "person," at least in that context (and keeping in mind of course you're seeing what they choose to show you).

Yawnsomely Literal Cover Band (morrisp), Saturday, 17 April 2021 20:11 (four years ago)

I feel like the fact that many of the same people have continued working with him for decades is about as glowing a recommendation for him as a person as you'll find in Hollywood these days.

You Can't Have the Woogie Without a Little Boogie (Old Lunch), Saturday, 17 April 2021 20:33 (four years ago)

Even the few times he gets frustrated and “loses his cool” a bit in those BTS scenes... he doesn’t fly off the handle or get abusive.

Yawnsomely Literal Cover Band (morrisp), Saturday, 17 April 2021 20:48 (four years ago)

(He also just generally seems to treat cast & crew with real respect.)

Yawnsomely Literal Cover Band (morrisp), Saturday, 17 April 2021 20:51 (four years ago)

I'm not sure his folksy vibe is exactly affected. He plays it up, but I also think it's him. Like, I don't think there's a totally non-folksy-eccentric David Lynch not visible to the public.

He has talked about being an angry person and how meditation helped with that. He has also said that he looked into therapy but he was afraid that it would interfere with his art.

Cow_Art, Saturday, 17 April 2021 21:34 (four years ago)

I also remembered that an acquaintance recently told me a story about an incredible experience hanging out w/Lynch back in the 2000s (this guy’s roommate at the time was Lynch’s assistant)—it sounded like Lynch was really cool (and, yes, genuinely eccentric).

Yawnsomely Literal Cover Band (morrisp), Saturday, 17 April 2021 21:57 (four years ago)

One side detail is that Lynch would sometimes call the apartment and ask for the roommate (I forget his name, let’s say it was Scott)—“SCOTT? IS THIS SCOTT?” Hi, David – no, this is Mike. “HI MIKE! PLEASE TELL SCOTT THAT I NEED A (whatever lens or piece of equipment) RIGHT AWAY. THANK YOU!” etc.

On him being an angry person, The Angriest Dog in the World seems like a reflection of that. A meditation on anger.

Herzog and Lynch are definitely both arbiters of a certain kind of disaffected, white, crotchety cool for Cinema Kids

G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 18 April 2021 04:56 (four years ago)

lynch is for everyone

intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Sunday, 18 April 2021 07:21 (four years ago)

I’m slightly allergic to the epic bacon fuckyeahwernerherzog type stuff but I think lynch’s public persona is both more genuine and less interesting than ppl tend to assume. Not that there is nothing calculated in how he puts himself across (duh he is a celebrity) but like his first wife has talked about how he was basically nonverbal into his 20s, he won’t have cooked food in the house - the guy is clearly mildly unusual & I think his mannerisms are a part of that but I don’t think there’s much to talk about there tbh

Having said that his statements that pass into memedom (woody woodpecker, elaborate on that, quinoa, fucking telephone &c) are p much always classic

is this the first non-twin peaks thing lynch has done that features the backward/forward voice effect?

I watched that monkey film he did for Netflix and Totally Didn’t Get It… but no biggie.
