It’s an utterly bizarre mystery/comedy/variety show with weird music, an overarching narrative and interviews that make you wonder if you dreamed them yourself. It has a very Lynchian vibe to it.
I have no affiliation with this podcast, I stumbled upon it by chance.

It's my favourite so far, but Mulholland Drive comes close.
I've also seen Blue Velvet, Inland Empire and all of Twin Peaks. I discovered Lynch this fall and I love him! Lost Highway was visually stunning and I loved the plot. I haven't seen all his work and I still hope he can do more one day, albeit unlikely. His ability to create these uncannily terrifying scenarios is unmatched, his attention to colour and lighting is impecable. His movies feel like dreams. He's become my new favourite filmaker.
idk this feels like the most appropriate place to post about this bc i have no one to share this with irl.

I've been wanting to watch Inland Empire because I love Lynch's films and heard Laura Dern gave an amazing performance. However, I'm also a huge fraidy-cat and many of you fine folks warned me that I would be traumatized forever by the Scary Face Scene.
Just wanted to get an estimate of how many minutes into the film the face thing happens so that I can execute my master plan* to avoid it?

Thanks very much!
David Lynch appears for some comments on the Beatles and music, generally, in the new "Beatles '64" documentary that came out on Disney Plus yesterday. He makes some beautiful points about the power of music. I think someone already posted a clip in this subreddit-- check it out! It was so good to see and hear him, if only for a minute or two.
Hey guys. I am huge David Lynch fan. My favorite movie by him is Mulholland Drive, but I recently saw Inland Empire and I love it too. What I particularly like about the film is that it seems like it makes no sense for a majority of the film, but by the end it all comes together. I would say with Inland Empire, more so than with Mulholland Drive, I was still confused by the end, and needed to read up on what happened, but honestly there is nothing I love more than finishing a movie and still being absolutely clueless about what I just watched. I look forward to hearing your recommendations. I hope everyone is having a great day. Thank you in advance.
Just started watching Eraserhead for the first time right now and they just introduced the baby yet I’m not feeling disturbed by it but rather thinking it’s kinda cute. AM I JUST MENTALLY FUCK UP FOR NOT FEELING DISTURBED?
He looked better as dough but got a little bloaty in the oven :(
A lot of his work, especially Konoyo and Virgins seem to evoke dark dream-like imagery. I think a collaboration between Lynch and Hecker would be magnificent. Especially since his work on Infinity Pool was great.
Hopefully it’s obvious what it is…
anyone else read that webcomic melvina’s therapy and get extra creeped out by the rabbits?
So I watched the first two episodes and it feels odd to me. Is there supposed to be something I need to think about before watching?
I’m currently on season 2 episode 4 of TP, and it feels like nothing is happening and barely anything has happened since I started watching. Just feels like really cool aesthetic which i dig but 10% plot.
I watched Blue velvet and didn’t enjoy it that much and it felt a bit pretentious, maybe because I was expecting a conventional murder mystery, then I watched Mulholland Drive and I was okay not bad i kinda liked it, then I recently watched Lost Highway and I fucking LOVED IT.
So here I am back to twin peaks trying to finish it because I’m waiting for it to lead to something or for something to happen but it feels so slow and like nothings happening I feel crazy. Especially since I love X-Files and other vibes that I can see Lynch is trying to create. Any advice?
(P.S. I’ve watched 384 films this year and into a lot of Arthouse and foreign cinema before you think I’m some marvel fan smug)
