David Lynch - Classic or Dud

Lynch weather report preceded by Biden cash plea = perfect

I checked the last week's weather reports and he doesn't ask for Biden donations in any of them - how far back are you catching up?

We get it sic, you have an adblocker.

new board title

oh duh, I thought Morbs actually meant that Lynch was making ~clueless old white man Democrat~ appeals, and felt betrayed.

in which case: Doc, the ads you get on youtube are based on your location and the demographic info they've gathered from your own viewing choices. David Lynch is not selling ad time to Joe Biden, or to anyone. That you're getting Biden ads is the result of two different decisions by you, and none by David Lynch.

From OP: "Looked in the Films category for a discussion about him but suprisingly there doesn't seem to be one."

Films category?! Ah, transports of sweet, sweet nostalgia.

i think morbs was referring to my display name (which is a joe biden email subject line from february)

could be, could be

time has actually run out of that (as i've run out of money to match)

i posted it on some other thread (#onethread) in tribute but you didn't see it, then i freaked out and started to worry that you didn't know it was meant out of respect

#allthreadsmatter

i mean i wouldn't go that far

sic, i am very aware of all that shit, you tosspot

idk, maybe take it to an Ask Dr Morbius thread or something then

I’d like to bring the conversation back to the checking stick

when he said we don’t really need checking sticks because we have intuition, I lost it

David Lynch's late-career avuncular presence is a welcome development.

Shit, I don't think this is real, looking at the other headlines. Sorry. Someone else linked this and I didn't check the site out yet.

No wonder nobody else posted this "news".

Don’t know if this has been mentioned elsewhere but !!!

stoked

even though it will be “50% shit like most lynch” to quote the good doctor

FINALLY! I've known about this since March because of my job, but I've had to keep it my own secret for eight months. I feel liberated!

Desperate Housewives/Twin Peaks crossover.

:))))))

YESYESYESYESYES

25 HOURS OF LYNCH I WANT TO SNORT IT SMOKE IT PUT IT UP MY *ahem* I’m excited.

You may remember that Lynch's new short film What Did Jack Do? premiered on Netflix at the start of the year, and he's been in talks with the streaming service for a couple years now. WTTP also notes that a Reddit thread back in February "referred to the Wisteria working title back in February 2020 and also mentioned a $85 million budget for 25 one-hour long episodes. The same user later added it could also be 13 ‘mini movies’ (or anything between 13 and 25) and that production planned for 200 shooting days in the Los Angeles area.

*boisterous Home Improvement man/dog grunting*

also, if the speculation about the budget ($85M) is close to correct, it confirms the hilariously transparently grumpy interviews lynch was giving a few years ago where he was complaining that he couldn't do movies because he couldn't get money. he negotiates in a lynchian way, i guess. and now he's doing movies that are 12 times the length of normal movies, with a big budget

25 hours/85 mil is unverified but if that’s actually true or close to true, that’s fucking wild.

Netflix has more money than God, but curious about their calculus if those details are true. Made sense for Showtime to grab TP The Return to stand out, but not sure what Netflix would gain. I also have no idea how much these shows typically cost.

That Nicholas Refn series on Prime that seemingly 50 people watched (it’s awesome btw) is kind of a similar thing. All for corporate behemoths throwing millions at auteur directors to do whatever the fuck they want, just curious about those meetings.

I had a feeling the Netflix thing would be the antelope don’t run no more, the feature film he was trying to get funded that was cited in the recent bio - iirc it had elements of mulholland dr people who’ve read the script say it’s the best thing he’s ever written. I’m ok with a series tho

Netflix has more money than God

Netflix has close to sixteen billion dollars in debt.

Tesla has 18 trillion dollars of debt. They will borrow more and be fine

It’s only regular people who have to pay money back

Sixteen billion dollars in debt and they can't afford to stream any good films ffs

Shooting starting in may 2021 seems ambitious tbh but this will prob still have a less protracted gestation than twin peaks the return

He moves in Wisteria's maze.

(That pun has been in my head since Achtung Baby came out. Thought I'd go to my grave without every having an excuse to use it.)

rumours had been swirling about regarding this project for a while, it sounded like the original plan may have been to start shooting may this year until covid happened?

XP good payoff imo

(to pun) I'll say you in 25 years.

is it controversial to say the sax playing in lost highway is good not bad

it’s fun

it's bold

the sax playing, i mean

i've only seen lost highway a few times, but i love the sax in it

My only gripe with the sax is that I can never understand the dialog in the early scenes so I crank up the volume, and then get blown out by that sax. I assume this was by design.

the sax is one of the best parts

The sax scene is second only to The Lost Boys imho

the new series is now known as Unrecorded Night
