Thursday's parting shot

7 comments:

  1. I saw Mulholland Drive in 2001 at the now shuttered Lincoln Plaza Cinema with my ex boyfriend while we were both high. What a trip that was. A very strange yet captivating film. Such a brilliant director ahead of his time. RIP Mr. Lynch

  2. Saw all of his movies I think. Except Eraserhead.
    Watched "Mulholland Drive" with my new love at the time, at a big theatre, don't remember which one, and it was such an unusual and exciting movie. Years later when visiting a friend in LA I rented a car just so I could drive on "Mulholland Drive".
    RIP Sir.

  3. I always felt that Lynch was America's equivalent to Luis Buñuel; versatile and surreal at the same time.
    The Criterion Collection has a good number of Lynch's films with excellent supplements. Worth the price when the 50% sales occur or finding ( if you can) used at BookOff.

  4. I saw Mulholland Drive on 42nd Street, in some kind of attic theater with about 30 seats and a smallish screen. There were maybe 4 other people there. It was the height of summer and the air-conditioning was out, so it was a total sweatbox. The uncomfortable torture of being in that room while watching the story unfold made it an unforgettable experience.

  5. He was the best. Period. Nobody else could do what he did. And Episode 8 of "Twin Peaks: The Return" is solid proof.

  6. Years ago, when we had VHS players, I bought a used VHS copy of "Dune." (Jack Nance as Iankin Nefud!) I don't think I ever made it through on one viewing...😅
