my z to a CERTIFICATE OF YTICITNEHTUA's #14,701. was two eps away from the end of a rewatch of the return when it arrived; immediately stopped and restarted at the original pilot lol. basically, the luminosity of the moment before death shone, but i did not recognize it, and so, i have to wander here

btw, i thought that short was actually pretty good and funny! i was surprised because while a vein of lynch's sense of humor runs through all his work, i usually haven't enjoyed the things that place it at the forefront - on the air, the cowboy and the frenchmen.

I see on Wikipedia that Chrysta Bell's voice and musical style are described as “ethereal” and “sensual”.
From my observation, her acting style is "nonexistent".

Miguel Ferrer's stony reaction shots while the French gamine took 2 minutes to leave Cole's room were textbook deadpan.

Weird of Lynch to cast a musician with a flat affect whose acting style mainly involves moving their head around a lot https://66-media-tumblr-com.cdn.ampproject.org/i/s/66.media.tumblr.com/b4470245661935847d7b3203c33c8130/tumblr_ne6f5644Mz1rpotpgo3_r1_250.gif

There is a fairly wide gulf between her singing and her acting, it's true.
― Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Friday, 27 March 2020 12:09 (four years ago) link
I guess it was around the time of Twin Peaks where Lynch really started throwing together excellent actors with total non-actors. It may have happened earlier, but Leo Johnson is the first instance of this that really sticks out in my mind. Sometimes it works better than others but it's definitely a Lynch hallmark and often creates an interesting vibe. Could also have something to do with him never having actors read for parts.
The non-actor that played the Cowboy character in Mullholland Drive had to have his lines pinned to his acting partner's chest so he could read them like a cue card.
― Cow_Art, Friday, 27 March 2020 15:09 (four years ago) link
The irony is that "total non-actor" actually gained fame in Hollywood by casting total non-actors in mostly lead roles (eg, Mick Jagger in Wings of Ash, Debbie Harry in Union City, Robert Gordon in The Loveless).
but Leo Johnson is the first instance of this that really sticks out
Always helps when your mom is David Lynch's regular casting director.
...but you missed the very biggest non-actor elephant in the room, Lynch himself!

C Bell's screen time in this series is several multiples of Isaak's in FWWM
also I don't remember him being this inept
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Friday, 27 March 2020 19:09 (four years ago) link
btw doc you have heard at least one chrysta bell song, the very beautiful “polish song” from inland empire. Not hugely into her music otherwise tho I like it fine - acting-wise, as I say Tammy Preston = Chester Desmond

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 27 March 2020 19:18 (four years ago) link
isaak was in married to the mob before FWWM. it's not a part that requires much heavy-duty acting but he had some experience at least.

I thought Bowie's performance in FWWM was (at the time) and (upon rewatch) still is terrible... as bad as Isaak & Bell.
But Bowie actually became a decent actor, I thought he was excellent in The Prestige. For someone who doesn't follow his film career, when did he turn it around?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 27 March 2020 21:11 (four years ago) link
Chris Isaak is fine as an actor.
His sitcom was kind of ok.
― COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Friday, 27 March 2020 21:15 (four years ago) link
Bowie was very good as far back as Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, imo. I think he just tried an approach in FWWM that didn't work. I seem to remember reading that performance was his idea rather than Lynch's...?

I think Bowie had a limited range and FWWM was a little outside of that. But again, it kind of depends on whether you accept it as a Lynchism or not. I seem to remember that he allowed Lynch to use the FWWM footage for season 3 but not his voice because he was embarrassed by it.
― Cow_Art, Friday, 27 March 2020 21:53 (four years ago) link
Bowie admitted he was a competen tamateur in Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence... used more as a model in that and the Roeg movie.
He's quite good in his single scene as Pilate in Last Temptation of Christ, I think.
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Friday, 27 March 2020 23:15 (four years ago) link
he's doing some wild vaguely southern accent in FWWM which is terrible, always kind of got more of a campy effect from it than was perhaps intended (that scene is very creepy)
― COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Friday, 27 March 2020 23:19 (four years ago) link

No slight to the performers, but my favorite thing on the Roadhouse stage was the volume knob.
