this raises a lot of questions, such as

- what?

- how?

- why?

- why now?

Just imagined substituting the names of other people in the place of Duran Duran in the thread title.

"so, about that david lynch-directed train concert film..."
"so, about that david lynch-directed limp bizkit concert film..."
"so, about that david lynch-directed lonely island concert film..."
"so, about that david lynch-directed seth macfarlane concert film..."
"so, about that david lynch-directed mumford and sons concert film..."
"so, about that david lynch-directed usher concert film..."

Would totally watch that last one, actually.

if the next level of 80s worship is not only pretending that bands who sucked then were good but pretending that they're worth watching now then fuck everything imo

^^^ your head is full of chopstick. I don't like it.

with limited caveats, aero otm

The Hungriest Wolf in the World.

are we really worried about American Express leading the cultural charge on reevaluating Duran Duran's worth?

rio is an amazing album

from that hungry clip you can really tell lynch spent a lot of time and thought on this

I really want to imagine he was all "CAMERA 2! CAMERA 2 TO JOHN! GO!" and not just in the editing bay saying "make it brighter."

next clip is of Lynch filming the band in an L.A. comedy club at 2 a.m. doing "Llorando."

then the emcee comes out and goes NO HAY BANDA

this is amazing

aero's hatred of D2 is a source of never ending amusement to me.

You know I love you aerosmith but I still had to hit Flag Post for this.

tough but fair

oh good I wasn't the only one

underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned has been banned temporarily. hates Duran Duran

a view to a ban

on the second viewing of the trailer i managed to watch 8 seconds into it, enough to read "american express presents" and wow, it really sounds like an abandoned tim heidecker joke.

the first viewing i stopped almost immidiately, at "hi mom".

yeah I'm far from ILM's most ardent popist but I gotta rep for Rio

it's weird

the concert footage looks very rote, and the band doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic

there's no particular occasion for this

i think duran duran were a pretty decent band, but they are far past their prime

maybe lynch's input is limited to essentially fussing about in the margins, or rather, over the concert footage

it all seems rather self-parodic and pointless

summary = straight to video

i bet the why is that he had bills to pay. lynch has directed a fair number of commercials too

ya one inland empire every ten years isnt buying any beach houses

oh i have no doubt

but

who dreamed up this project?

isn't this a couple years old? i remember it being thrown around along with some other weird director/band pairings that popped up around this time, like the arcade fire with somebody i can't remember.

Tarkovsky.

that's the one.

i wouldnt be surprised if someone in DuDu is just a lynch fan so they reached out to him. werner herzog did a short doc on The fuckin Killers not long ago

The Lynch-y visuals seem so tacked on that I'm almost assuming he had nothing to do with shooting the concert footage and just messed around with it in post-production

yes. who would actually try selling this movie?

but apparently they are trying

so apparently he directed the stream (ew) in 2011 and Cannes is getting the "directors cut" god i want to believe he's been tinkering with it that whole time

god i want to believe he's been tinkering with inserting clips of Laura Dern eating pasta and then vomiting in slow motion into it that whole time

I finally watched this, it is definitely no Sing Blue Silver.
