lynch is for everyone
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Sunday, 18 April 2021 07:21 (three years ago) link
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.

At long last, Lynch's cult classic "Weather Reports" will all be collected and combined to create a 24-hour piece which Vanity Fair says "evokes an unsettling yet strangely familiar space between reality and utopia, where the temperature is comfortable and a soft breeze blows, the sun reliably peeking through any clouds." Available June 13.

It’s a great bit but I will never actually watch any of the weather reports

but honestly, if they were collected and i could get them for $5 or something, i would probably do it

this has probably been pointed out on ilx and elsewhere, but i just learned about the sculptor Giacometti's sculpture for the 1961 re-staging of Waiting for Godot. he and Beckett were great friends (https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/alberto-giacometti-1159/when-alberto-giacometti-met-samuel-beckett).
In the original 1953 production of Godot at the Théâtre de Babylone (a converted shop), Giacometti sat in the audience. The director Roger Blin had reportedly jerry-rigged a flimsy tree together for the production, using twisted wire coat hangers wrapped in tissue paper anchored to a piece of rubber foam. It is not hard to imagine that Giacometti might not have been impressed with Blin's shambolic attempts at scenography. When Beckett invited Giacometti to create an entirely new vision for his work in 1961, the artist readily accepted.In an interview with art critic Reinhold Hohl, Giacometti described the process of constructing the stage set in his studio with Beckett:"We experimented all night long with that plaster tree, making it bigger, making it smaller, making its branches finer. It never seemed right to us. And each of us said to the other, maybe."

I only watched Eraserhead in full for the first time recently. Had no idea the Evolution of the Arm was prefigured in Henry’s apartment.

The other prototype evolution of the arm is of course the cover of Julee Cruise’s voice of love album
― Pfizer the pharma chip (wins), Thursday, 3 June 2021 16:52 (three years ago) link
The Julee Cruise cover features one of his ham heads. Lynch sculpted the little head out of wax, around a piece of ham. Stuck it on a wire and let the ants crawl into the head to get the meat.
One of his short films has video of the ants crawling in and around a similar head.

I had a close encounter with a “Ten lined June beetle” on the sidewalk today; it gave me serious frogmoth vibes, exceeded only by the Jerusalem cricket on our patio that made me lose my s#% one night last night last year (I seriously thought I was gonna end up like New Mexico Girl, until I found a way to fling it into a neighbor’s yard).

The frog-moth that Lynch said he saw in Yugoslavia in the 60s was probably this creature, the mole cricket:

Looking at it now, it seems likely to have inspired the Eraserhead chickens too

Actually that's Gryllotalpa brachyptera, which is native to Australia, so not that particular one. More likely Gryllotalpa stepposa though it doesn't look quite as good.

I missed all this wisteria posting. Ambivalent about the new series being in the Twin Peaks worldhttps://moviehole.net/david-lynchs-wisteria-updates-cast-tease-involvement-twin-peaks-connection/
― Alba, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 10:49 (three years ago) link
Sounding like Wisteria is just the working title for Twin Peaks season 4. Hasn't he said stuff about all his material taking place in the same world/universe/whatnot?
― maf you one two (maffew12), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 11:48 (three years ago) link
That all seems like pretty weak basis for speculation to me. Kyle maclachlan is in Washington - isn’t he from there? & cast members posting pictures of wisteria “or purple flowers that resemble them” doesn’t feel like much either. omg Susan Sarandon also posted a picture of some beautiful flowers, could she be involved too? Or is that just something ppl do on Instagram in summer idk it feels like ages since those original rumours that said they were gonna start filming in May & afiact there isn’t much to even indicate anything is happening at all, let alone that it’s twin peaks

I don't want any more Twin Peaks, nothing could follow the end of S3 without feeling like a compromise.
― assert (matttkkkk), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 12:08 (three years ago) link
Kyle maclachlan is in Washington - isn’t he from there?
The main Twin Peaks locations are half an hour east of Seattle, with a couple being north or west of the city. Maclachlan's childhood home town is another three hours east from the Double R, and his winery is an hour further east from there.

(for ppl who didn’t click through, the sole “evidence” of filming on Twin Peaks S4 was Maclachlan posting a photo of a car’s nose with some light mud splatter, meme-captioned “tell me you’re in Eastern Washington w/o etc”)

I'm willing to believe this new thing is straight up Peaks S4 tbh
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 13:12 (three years ago) link
I mean in the absence of any evidence I’m willing to believe it could be anything - I’m kinda hoping it’s that antelope don’t run no more script that’s mentioned in the recent bio - the author writes something like “those who have read it say it’s the best thing he’s ever written” but he wasn’t able to get it made because it would be too expensive. If the rumours about Netflix money are true that is quite tantalising!

also K-Mac does seem to be really into dropping cryptic little hints about stuff
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 14:20 (three years ago) link
My take here is basically the same one I had when Twin Peaks S3 was announced: there is more David Lynch directed stuff coming and that is good and it doesn't matter if it's Twin Peaks related or not.

there is more David Lynch directed stuff comingtbf tho I don’t think even this much is confirmed (even that clickbait article that draws conclusions based on literally nothing is calling it a “rumoured project” still) - I do have faith something is in the works but it’s a p different situation to when s3 had actually been announced
― The 💨 that shook the barlow (wins), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 14:47 (three years ago) link
I don't see him relinquishing directing duties again if he can help it.
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 14:48 (three years ago) link
If he does end up getting other directors to chip in I hope he goes for like, PFFR people
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 14:49 (three years ago) link
No I’m not saying twin peaks is back without lynch, I’m saying there is no confirmation there is a lynch thing definitely coming tp or otherwise

yeah I've been wrong before but I feel like it will still be a while yet before we get actual "official" word either way
