I'm just imagining David Lynch having Derrida's interview on the American attitude and the demand to elaborate so common in interviews on his mind when Lynch said "no." It's as if he was saying, 'I have no ready made discourse on Eraserhead. I made a film. If you want to see what I have to say about it, go watch it. I will not do your work for you or attempt to remake it in words on command.'

"Mulholland Drive" is my favorite film as well. However, I subscribe to the theory that it is about the "casting couch", and how Hollywood eats up and spits out actresses. But no interpretation of Lynch is ever wrong, which is wonderful. The man himself refuses to explain his films because he wants the audience to bring their own life experience to the act of watching his movies.

My problem with Lost Highway was that I enjoyed it stylistically, sonically, had some really really striking images and some excellent moments. But while the dreamy moments in his films might not be super clear narratively, he's usually very very good at maintaining a congruent emotional throughline. I might not immediately get what's "happening" but I feel what's going on. With Lost Highway I never knew quite what to feel and therefore never really cared. That said, Patricia Arquette said Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss and we love that for her.

David Lynch seems more weird that he is because most of his work is still distinctly American. Yes even when he is poking fun at "Americana" and 50s culture it's still a familiar backframe of American Culture most viewers are familiar with but then get disoriented when he intentionally subverts basically all those American sensitives. But many other film makers make similarly surreal films without that aspect, some of which you've talked at length before but hey I am always for such a smart person like you to take a look at even more of these types of films which happen to be my favorite so I guess this is me saying: More of this please, thanks, love your channel!

If you're into a lot of media, the pacing really influences your reception. At some point, I started getting into stuff I previously wouldn't have considered, in terms of genre for example, because it was becoming harder to be amazed by films or music or art from areas I already knew well. I wish you luck with future discoveries.

I think that your takes are definitely solid. I'd put Eraserhead in SS tier but I also understand why it doesn't appeal to everyone as much as it appeals to me, and I do think that there is something to admire about his works that more seamlessly blend the surreal and the narrative. The only really spicy take I thought you had was ranking FWWM lower than the rest of Twin Peaks. I understand what you mean when you say it didn't gel for you with the world but for me it is such an incredible vision of that world. Like the horror of Twin Peaks was usually implied or lurking below the surface because they were limited by the format in what they could show. And Showing that horror in FWWM is so powerful. Also one of the most transcendent theater experiences of my life was seeing it at the Alamo Drafthouse a few years ago. The Pink Room scene in a theater with a fucking LOUD as FUCK soundsystem was just like an out of body experience.

Inland Empire was my first-ever introduction to David Lynch, it was showing at a local theater and a friend who's a Lynch fan but hadn't seen IE invited me to go without either of us knowing what we were getting into. I made it through almost the entire film until the scene with the two homeless women talking about Niko (idk if it's even possible to spoil IE but if you've seen the movie you know what I mean). I got up and left the theater because for some reason it shook me to my absolute core. I couldn't get myself to go back in and just stood outside until it finished. I've never in my life had a reaction to a film like that, and at first I honestly thought I hated it until I had time to talk about it with my friend and think over it. I decided to go home and watch the ending... then scour Reddit for theories... then find this video, and now I kinda wanna watch all of Lynch's movies. So in a roundabout way it made me a fan? Never wanna watch it again though. One time was enough.

I vividly remember, a show, David Lynch did about a bunch of people wearing rabbit masks and it was like a sitcom where there was a laugh track in the background, I don't remember where I saw it I just know that it exists. Could you talk about that? I don't remember it being particularly disturbing, but it was eerie for sure. Because the people in the rabbit masks would say random things but it seemed like a coherent story just out of order if you're going by what the rabbits were saying. I really like David Lynch, he really gets me looking at symbolism for a change instead of just taking a movie for what it is.

Lost Highway, a film which I respect greatly, in many ways feels like a rough draft for the lightning in a bottle that Mulholland Drive wound up being. I love Patricia Arquette's interpretation of it though, and I love the idea of a character literally changing to someone else that he's rather be to escape his bleak existence (and as a mega fan of the HBO show Barry I think Bill Hader is low key trying something similar with the last season but I won't say anything else...) Also Michael Haneke TOTALLY stole the "couple receives a video recording of their own home" from Lost Highway for Cache. Cache is probably a better film but STILL.

The Straight Story was not produced by Disney, they only picked up the US distribution rights after the film was made. Mary Sweeney, David's close collaborator and wife at the time, heard the real story of Alvin Straight and offered a screenplay based on the story to David. It was then produced and funded mostly by French studios and I believe Film4 (who own the British distribution rights). But it's still interesting Disney looked at a David Lynch film and said "let's release this".

Corrections: -Dumbland is not a TV show. It was a pre-KZbin web series distributed through Lynch's website and eventually on DVD. He really embraced the internet in its early days -David Lynch did not make The Straight Story _for_ Disney. Lynch made TSS by himself, and then after its Cannes premiere Disney bought the distribution rights Oh also the inner thoughts of the characters of Dune aren't just a Lynch thing, it's a HUGE point in the book. There is constant inner monologue. Characters are always trying to figure out what the others are thinking based on body language and such and sometimes they can cause of weird spice stuff

I had thought he co-directed it with Werner Herzog but he apparently didn't, but there are at least a couple scenes he must've secretly directed. There is literally no way he didn't write and direct the scene of Grace Zabriskie confronting her son. Watch that scene, the film is not great but it has a couple tasty moments.

as a huge Lynch stan, this is the type content i crave. my favorite thing about him is his refusal to give any explanation or interpretation to his films. i saw a Q+A with him once where a student asked what the meaning of some imagery was and his response was “well what did YOU think it meant?” he knows that the audience isn’t stupid, and it allows for many different interpretations of his films and works to be valid. my top 3 go: 1)Mulholland Drive 2)Wild at Heart 3)Lost Highway

I really hope in his new Netflix show Lynch is given full creative control + that Netflix budget. I want to see him go wild

This is basically everything I ever wanted out of a KZbin video about David Lynch.

ok I'm going to say it. for me, david lynch's dune is a good movie. I'd put it in A tier or even S tier. Ok i've said it. It really helps if you've read the book first, and it really helps if you have your brain wide open. But its sort of like fantastic planet - its so alien in its construction and design that I get the feeling of traveling to a truly otherworldly place lot more than I do with other more conventional sci-fi movies. And yes, I've seen the new adaptation, which to me is fairly lifeless due to its use of CGI. Frankly I miss practical effects - everything has so much more weight with them. The only thing in the new one that beats the old one is Stellan Skarsgard's Harkonnen - but after all he is Stellan Skarsgard.
