That settles it. I'm definitely putting beer in the fridge and looking for a sketchy streaming service that might have it.

You didn't like Mulholland Drive??

Im a massive Lynch fanboy. And in for a treat with Blue Velvet.

Mulholland Drive is a movie that I wouldn't say I enjoyed it while I watched it (well, there was a certain scene with Naomi Watts and Laura Harring I enjoyed immensely), but as soon as it stopped I thought about it. A lot. It's very rare for a film to have that effect upon me. So, while I wouldn't say it is an easy film to watch or an enjoyable one, I will say that due to making the viewer an active character (in the sense of interpreting the dream like structure to impose a sense of order upon it, the way we do with the images we do call dreams) it is a brilliant work, and one I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone with an interest in cinema.

The thing with streaming services, is that if Criterion Channel ever launches here, omgfridge and I are pretty much retired. Not just from the Sweet FA, but from our rl jobs.

It came out at a time when people in Hollywood were making a lot of fairly average films. Not that there were not good films going around during that early 2000s period, but it wasn't until about 5 or 6 years later Hollywood filmmaking got out of a bit of a rut as a residual effect of the blockbuster system of planning.

Having some of the luxuries Amsterdam has to offer while watching Lynch films sounds like an appealing evening.

Think I saw some David Lynch like imagery myself while in Vondelpark after a long session at the coffee shop.

Be interesting what you make of Blue Velvet then. Both similar and not similar at the same time. Probably due a rewatch myself.

And spot on with Mulholland staying in your thoughts. Any film that does that is an instant gem for me.

Inland Empire is a wild ride too.

Noone would ever see me again. Ive been buying a few criterion editions of films you cant get in Aus.

What Id do to be in one of their criterion closet videos. Closest thing to actual heaven.

Im glad I have all the bad posters like Pickitt and Ligma on ignore. Means I get more James Colorado posts

Is this what you saw?

omgfridge I'm gonna watch Blue Velvet tonight. I've never seen it before, but I can't imagine it'll be as exhausting as Mulholland Drive.

Mulholland Drive is one of my favourite movies of all time, so eclectic.

I slightly prefer Lost Highway though, it's a bit simpler and darker but very intense.

How the hell have I not heard of Blue Velvet before? Sounds like my kind of movie.

Cheers, that's added to the list.

Love Lost Highway too.

And for a totally different vibe - Wild at Heart. Crazy Cage in a snakes skin jacket. Perfection.

Hi there Dragons.

Good night Dragons.

Eraserhead is pretty good. Very spiritual. It’s like if a surrealist Georges Méliès existed in 1977

 

[big_icky]

No no no, forced tags and doggy collars are the way of the future.
Isn't that right Drizzy and big_icky

Woof

If we are gonna start talking about clicking on risky links, let's bring in the expert.
Bonz my dear, you are summoned.
