I feel like Twin Peaks is an unacknowledged ancestor to a lot of Showtime dramas, in that it's second season turned to intellegible shit.
(needs some work on wording, but it's exactly 140 characters!)

Twin Peaks first season was the best thing Lynch ever did. Downhill from that peak ever since culminating in the unwatchable pretentious nadir of Inland Empire.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 6 October 2014 18:19 (nine years ago) link
Inland Empire is my possibly my favourite film ever. I don't like everything about it but it still blows me away.

His last two films are his best and are also sit high among the best films of the 21st Century. I assume. Couldn't finish either.

his last two are def among his best

Even if you hate it you gotta see the bits at the end. There's at least 3 bits in that film that terrified me like nothing I had seen since I was little.

IE's closing musical sequence is so great

I first watched Inland Empire in the dark, late at night, on my laptop, with headphones. Highly, highly recommended (except maybe the laptop part).

Twin Peaks first seasonMulholland Dr was the best thing Lynch ever did
that he was distracted from TP by making the slop that was Wild at Heart is tragicomic, tho.
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Monday, 6 October 2014 18:49 (nine years ago) link
agree 100% on that last point. wasted opportunity.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 6 October 2014 18:53 (nine years ago) link
wild at heart's so wonderful; one of the best examples of just how distinctive his range & tone are, that he can lend this feeling of sense to surreal digressions, internal logic to unexpected asides
― schlump, Monday, 6 October 2014 19:06 (nine years ago) link
he and Gifford were a poor match imo

Mulholland Dr was the best thing Lynch ever did
Agree with this, I think. The fact that it was carved out of a hunk of unused TV pilot makes me hopeful for what he does for pay cable.

Search and Destroy his various other tv projects, short films and adverts?
I like The Grandmother, Alphabet, Absurd Encounter With Fear and the PlayStation advert with the deer.
I didn't enjoy most of his short films, the comedic ones in particular.
There's still a bunch of stuff I haven't seen. Does anyone recommend Industrial Symphony or the Inland Empire outtake compilation More Things That Happened? I really want to see the latter someday.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 6 October 2014 19:13 (nine years ago) link
did you skip On the Air? Best described by a friend of mine as "a comedy by people who don't understand comedy" - intermittently charming and weird and funny, but usually for the wrong reasons
― Οὖτις, Monday, 6 October 2014 19:15 (nine years ago) link
I like the one about the cowboy and the frenchman

Haven't seen On The Air. The cowboy/Frenchman one is actually one of my least favourites aside from one or two funny bits.

― Οὖτις, Monday, 6 October 2014 19:19 (nine years ago) link
Is On the Air on youtube? I think it was only available briefly on VHS back in the day.
On The Air is around. Parts of it are among Lynch's most bizarre moments. Can't say I'd exactly recommend it, though.
― Certified Genious (Old Lunch), Monday, 6 October 2014 19:21 (nine years ago) link
yeah I wouldn't either, and def not to Gilmour's tastes I would wager

should i watch this show

More Things That Happened is kinda essential, I think. For me, the whole point of Inland Empire is that it has all these overlapping stories exploding and consuming each other, with no center keeping it all together. More Things That Happened further undermines Inland Empire as a cohesive work, and puts it on the plane of stuff happening, which is where it belongs, and why it's unique, and a masterpiece.
― Frederik B, Monday, 6 October 2014 19:24 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I watched it immediately after watching IE and it didn't feel at all superfluous.
― Certified Genious (Old Lunch), Monday, 6 October 2014 19:27 (nine years ago) link
Cool, I'll need to find a copy of Inland Empire that includes it.
How about Hotel Room?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 6 October 2014 19:28 (nine years ago) link
I have somehow never watched the More Things That Happened stuff. Should rectify that.
― Simon H., Monday, 6 October 2014 19:32 (nine years ago) link
was this on an IE disc release?
I'm sure I saw some of On the Air, nothing stuck with me.
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Monday, 6 October 2014 19:35 (nine years ago) link
Conversely, I think the Wild At Heart deleted scenes in the Lime Green Set made me dislike the movie more. They suggest that the film was at one point more coherent and slightly more traditional, narratively speaking, and that Lynch snipped away at the film in an effort to make it more Lynchian.
― Certified Genious (Old Lunch), Monday, 6 October 2014 19:37 (nine years ago) link
has it really been almost 10 years since he's done a feature-length film?!?
― the late great, Monday, 6 October 2014 19:37 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, Morbs, the More Things That Happened content is on a second disc (along with the Rabbits shorts) of the copy of IE that I have.

It's tempting to imagine an alternate career for him where he did both good, "conventional" studio films (tho I don't consider that a wholly accurate label even for Elephant Man) and passion projects, a la Soderbergh.

I have mixed feelings about that Marion Cottilard handbag advert. There's nice stuff in it but I still couldn't shake the feeling I get from other fashion adverts that try for some sort of emotional depth but don't achieve it.

I watched More Things That Happened at the Cinema during CPH:PIX last year, in a series on directors revisiting their earlier work - it also included Resnais, Rivette and Godard, so I was happy. Demand was apparantly so great that an extra viewing was arranged. But if I'd actually paid 80 kr to watch a blu-ray extra, I would have felt ripped off.

25 year thing might be there too but it is definitely in the original series

I hope Lynch will do the right thing and refilm those scenes of MacLachlan in old man makeup. He should be able to CGI Jack Nance into the show, too, a la Nancy Marchand in The Sopranos.
