New Vampire Movie!

No, I react to Lynch movies in pretty much the same way you do. Donnie Darko, for me, was like watching a first-year film student's attempt to imitate Lynch.

Ouch. And hee. I'm weirded out that people are saying they didn't like the characters, since I think they're really appealling and that's not usually something I value much.

I remember it being in theaters briefly, and seeing some reviews that were like, "It's interesting, and doesn't make sense, and there's a kid with mental problems who talks to a giant rabbit." And I assumed it was some kind of little art-house movie where everyone's very, very serious. So then later when there was a lot of chatter about it, I rented it and was shocked because it wasn't at all like that.

I liked Lost Highway more than Mulholland Drive. But I have no good reason for that. I may just prefer my self-destructive protagonists to be male or something. I understand why a lot of people like Mulholland more, given that they're essentially the same movie. It's a lot less antagonistic.

But I liked Fire Walk With Me, so there's that.

To find out whodunnit...or hopefully get enough clues to figure it out.

But I didn't care, remember?

Lost Highway was....awesomer, somehow. I think Mulholland Drive may ultimately hold together better, but I didn't leave the theatre quite as high on Lynchy goodness.

(I also own the box set of Dune, but that one doesn't really count.)

Woo, I'm the opposite from y'all on Lost Highway. I hated it.

But that is why I'm completely owned by three guys named Dave right now...nobody writes like HBO's Daves. They are all the man.

You can say that again. Like my new tagline?

I really liked the first half of Lost Highway, which was about the creepiest thing I'd ever seen. Then it just got over the top silly and lost me.

Mulholland Drive seemed sillier than Lost Highway when I watched it, but held together in my head better afterwards.

But I liked Fire Walk With Me, so there's that.

So did I, but I might have been drunk at the time.

Fire Walk With Me

I think I might have been OK with Fire Walk With Me except for

a) the wrong Donna

and

b) Even then I was a big ole shipper, so mostly I just wanted to watch 'The Love Story of Audrey Horne and her Special Agent'.

But I liked Fire Walk With Me, so there's that.

Heh, me too (and Lost Highway and Mullholland Drive - pretty much all Lynch). It must have been quite a shock for people who were fans of the show but had never seen a real David Lynch movie. Not only are they not getting any resolution to the series, they are gotting a lot of really, seriously weird/disturbing stuff instead.

Jessica speaks for me here.

I think Lynch remains the only filmmaker I consider substantial where I've seen all of their movies in the theater (the Coen brothers just lost that distinction with LADYKILLERS, which I still haven't seen), and the only one I saw out of its original release was ERASERHEAD (though I DID see it at midnight and well before DUNE was out).

Can't place the tag, bunk. I suck this morning. Queen of the Dunkers, c'est moi. But you didn't come here to hunt, did you?
