Ryus: Movie List: David Lynch Ranked

Ryus 04.24.22	theyre all good except dune which is still fun in a lot of ways
ArsMoriendi 04.24.22	I still need to see 7-9, but 4 > 3 > 5 > 2 > 1 > 6
DominionMM1 04.24.22	totally forgot 6 was david lynch
CaliggyJack 04.24.22	7>6>4>1>3>2>5>8>9 His Dune film is underrated imho
Ryus 04.24.22	dune is just absurd, sometimes in good ways and sometimes in bad ways
CaliggyJack 04.24.22	Pretty much yea
DoofDoof 04.24.22	pretty good ranking tbh 6 could maybe be above 5
YoYoMancuso 04.24.22	2 is maybe my favorite movie ever but i can respect Eraserhead at 1
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	I have been putting off watching straight story for over a decade. I’d have Wild at heart and lost highway much higher and inland empire much lower
Ryus 04.24.22	the straight story is nice and lovely and heartwarming
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	I’ll do it eventually It’s really hard but if probably put blue velvet #1
Jasdevi087 04.24.22	Straight Story is very good, yes. In some ways feels like a very early precursor to some of the themes in The Return. I was actually gonna make my own Lynch ranking lol, probably still will, I think we might only agree on Dune being bottom :o
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Just noticed you haven’t seen Fire Walk With Me and are currently watching twin peaks. Where are you at in it?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	If it weren’t for the fact that the films effectiveness hinges on the show and the return if put fire walk with me as 1 but considering his films as standalone material it has to be Blue Velvet
Ryus 04.24.22	"I was actually gonna make my own Lynch ranking lol, probably still will, I think we might only agree on Dune being bottom :o" do it man, always down for more lynch discussion around here i'm on s2e11 potsy
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	You should watch Fire Walk With Me now then. Ideal time to watch it is right after the big reveal.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	And then when you inevitably rewatch the entire series, watch fwwm first
Ryus 04.24.22	ohh shit i assumed the best time was after the end of season 2. ill probably watch it tonight then
MrSirLordGentleman 04.24.22	6 is kinda low imo but they all rule so it's all fine "2 is maybe my favorite but i can respect Eraserhead at 1" [2]
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Some people would say to watch both seasons then FWWM but I think it’s more just for the convenience of not interrupted season 2 at such a weird time. I think after the reveal is the perfect time cuz ur still kind of reeling from the freshness of that episode, whereas season 2 kind of has a bit of a cool down after that episode before it introduces a new story arch. I think my way is maximum emotional impact and you already have all the context you need for the film without spoiling anything
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	A digression but The Return has a lot more to do with the movie than the show in a lot of ways, it makes the movie even better in hindsight
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	People who watched twin peaks for the camp hated the movie cuz it’s full mindfuck twin peaks, not a lot of comic relief like the show
neekafat 04.24.22	anyone who has straight story that low doesn't get film
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Neek ur not allowed to gatekeep, those privledges are revoked from film students who entertain marvel films and u know it I don’t make the rules
neekafat 04.24.22	Haven't seen Inland or Wild at Heart Yet but: 1. The Straight Story: 4.9 2. Muholland Drive: 4.9 3. The Elephant Man: 4.2 4. Lost Highway: 4.1 5. Eraserhead: 4.1 6. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me: 3.2 7. Blue Velvet: 2.5 8. Dune: 2.0
neekafat 04.24.22	Lol i don't like saying things like that but The Straight Story is criminally underrated so I will defend it to an abusive degree
Ryus 04.24.22	sounds good potsy im super excited for the film "anyone who has straight story that low doesn't get film" i gave it ~4.0 and this dude tryna talk shit papa david just doesnt miss (except for dune)
Ryus 04.24.22	"7. Blue Velvet: 2.5" bruh
neekafat 04.24.22	hahaha it's just a perfect movie man, it just gets it idk
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Bruh to make matters much much worse you just 2.5’d Blue Velvet what the absolute fuckery is this list
neekafat 04.24.22	Blue Velvet is a stupid movie with some fantastic sequences, otherwise pretty much everything I don't like about Lynch. His relationship with exploitation filmmaking is v shaky
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Blue Velvet is literally a film student wet dream
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	U are way too wholesome for this world neek, I worry for you
combustion07 04.24.22	1. Lost Highway 2. Eraserhead 3. Blue Velvet 4. Fire Walk With Me 5. Elephant Man 6. Mulholland Drive 7. Inland Empire 8. Dune I haven't seen the others and Mulholland Drive honestly might deserve to sit higher but I haven't seen it in ages and don't recall much about it. Same with IE
Ryus 04.24.22	"People who watched twin peaks for the camp hated the movie cuz it’s full mindfuck twin peaks, not a lot of comic relief like the show" sounds like i will love the movie
neekafat 04.24.22	"Blue Velvet is literally a film student wet dream" exactly why it pisses me off lol its all formalist wonkery with no heart Fire Walk with Me is the same kinda, it just doesn't know when to fucking end, like we get it dude stop
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	If you’re not careful the white lodge might conspire to use you as a nuclear innocence bomb in a ploy to trap and destroy evil itself in an alternate dimension
neekafat 04.24.22	if you like rape films you'll love Fire Walk with Me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Nah fwwm is amazing too u are just a big softie
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Neek you should check I spit on your grave bro you’d love it
neekafat 04.24.22	the first two thirds of it are yeah and then after that you're as fucked as Lynch if you think it's earned lol we learn absolutely nothing new in the third act of that film, it's just a visual representation of shit that was already explained in gruesome detail, except it hurts even worse bc of how well they make you care for Laura
neekafat 04.24.22	hahaha good one ig
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	So basically you don’t like fwwm because it hurts ur feelings? We watch movies for very different reasons my friend
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	We haven’t learned anything new about a single established MCU character in nearly the last entire decade fwiw
JohnnyoftheWell 04.24.22	"its all formalist wonkery with no heart" "except it hurts even worse bc of how well they make you care for Laura" the blend of industry cynicism and incurable sentimentalism between these two takes makes my heart cavity and bladder want to throttle each other to a sad shitty death
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Lmao
DePlazz 04.24.22	6 is 1 and 4 is 2 for me, otherwise good list
neekafat 04.24.22	it's almost like I was talking about two different movies hmmmm
neekafat 04.24.22	then again "industry cynicism and incurable sentimentalism" is my forte ig
neekafat 04.24.22	or you could just call it empathy idk
JohnnyoftheWell 04.24.22	it is possible for shitty paintings to be composed of multiple shitty colours you finicky shitsprite buy me a beer if you have no empathy for isabella rossellini's character because film school told you aesthetic acts of violence were bad then i have none for u xo
neekafat 04.24.22	you'd love that murder/rape scene in Last Night in Soho pots, highly recommend
neekafat 04.24.22	what the fuck do you get out of the third act of fwwm seriously curious
DePlazz 04.24.22	IE is like Von Trier's Dogville, it can totally turn you off in the first 30-45 minutes but then when it starts to grow and hits back in the end, man... something else.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Yeah but it paints a picture that you have pretty narrow margins for what constitutes acceptable filmmaking based on a superficial metric where if something doesn’t respect your feelings it doesn’t have a place in film
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	I have more empathy than other people because I can’t stomach film that makes me uncomfortable
neekafat 04.24.22	lmfao yeah sure that's what im sayin dude glad to know a 3.2/5 constitutes unacceptable filmmaking. I'm saying the climax doesn't add anything to anything except shock value. explain to me how its necessary
neekafat 04.24.22	at this point im just asking for your genuine opinion on why you like the shit outside of it being "uncomfortable" which you haven't given
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	I hate rape scenes. They are awful. Especially when they gratuitous and serve no purpose. Sometimes they do serve a purpose. That shit happens in real life and it’s hard to face. Doesn’t make a scene more bearable to watch, but the intent matters. Irreversible is gratuitous as fuck, but that scene has purpose and it is very very effective at that purpose, which is to make the reverse climax of the film that much more visceral. If you watched that movie and felt nothing then yes you probably lack empathy, but simply not being able to face something devastating doesn’t make you an enlightened viewer
neekafat 04.24.22	ok great i agree with all of that
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Like what shit specifically neek? Blue Velvet or Fwwm? I like them both because they are challenging and provocative and artistic and they make me feel things and as a misanthrope the fucked upness of humanity and the human mind and mental illness resonates with me and feels very real and I like to feel raw emotions, not just happy fuzzy feelings
rabidfish 04.24.22	Inland Empire rocks but it's more cool if you watch all his weird internet stuff he made around that time to fully get into the experience. I recommend "dumbland" especially, it's like beavis and butthead or ATHF, but with the Lynch twist.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	If you stripped any movie down to what is strictly necessary based off your own opinions they’d all be terrible husks of a film I fear. If you are asking me why the Laura rape scene is necessary, nothing is necessary, it is chosen, I imagine in this instance the intent was to spark a visceral reaction and give you a full dose of the reality of the trauma Laura dealt with. That scene is traumatizing as fuck. Laura is traumatized as fuck. It makes you fear Leland and Bob personally, not vicariously, and it makes you feel violated. All of which is likely the point.
DePlazz 04.24.22	Djeez get a room
neekafat 04.24.22	"and I like to feel raw emotions, not just happy fuzzy feelings" ok I'm not insulting you anymore stop it
Ryus 04.24.22	havent seen FWWM but so far, twin peaks is nothing if not empathetic. id be surprised if FWWM was any different
fogza 04.24.22	FWWM is much more bleak than the show
neekafat 04.24.22	but yeah that all makes sense to me. i just don't think a lot of it is earned beyond the brutal trauma of it, which yeah is probably the point, but not a very compelling one imo. definitely very involving and strongly directed film of course (talking about fwwm ofc, did not find blue velvet involving at all), i just think a lot of its energy was misplaced. so much beauty in that film, and so much gross terror even without it going completely overboard
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	“ ok I'm not insulting you anymore stop it” ?
neekafat 04.24.22	"FWWM is much more bleak than the show" yeah by like 30x
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	What do you mean by “earned” exactly And honestly film that contrasts beautify and terror or whatever words you want to use are pretty much exactly my vibe, Cuz that’s kinda how real life do be, I find the duality of that most relatable in a ideological and spiritual sense
JeetJeet 04.24.22	Love almost all his stuff except Dune and Blue Velvet, both of which are big ass. Looking forward to his new project
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Fwwm is just a concentration of the darkest moments of twin peaks without the contrast of the lightness. It’s no darker than the darkest moments of the show. But it’s directly about the darkness of the show so idk what people were expecting there. They knew the plot.
YoYoMancuso 04.24.22	yo wtf is with all these blue velvet takes
rabidfish 04.24.22	blue velvet is insanely good. But besides that objective truth, how tf do you enjoy any of his stuff and not like BV? It's lynch 101, man.
fogza 04.24.22	Blue velvet is probably my favorite lynch movie, although I think the twin peaks return show is the best thing he's done
YoYoMancuso 04.24.22	The Return is fucking incredible
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	The return is indeed the best thing he’s ever done and blue velvet is indeed his quintessential film tho I see room for the counter argument that that award be reserved for Mulholland Drive or Eraserhead
fogza 04.24.22	EH is great but i don't really enjoy it, rather can just recognize it's amazing. I never really clicked with MD.
Gyromania 04.24.22	eraserhead is the best one i've seen by him
JeetJeet 04.24.22	"how tf do you enjoy any of his stuff and not like BV? It's lynch 101, man." Idk man its just whack as fuck to me. And Dennis Hopper's character just made me laugh by how awful he was.
neekafat 04.24.22	"honestly film that contrasts beautify and terror or whatever words you want to use are pretty much exactly my vibe" this and you self-describing yourself as a "misanthrope" are all I needed to get why you like it (not a dig, makes total sense then)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Frank is goat villain and Dennis Hoppers best role
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Fair neek
JeetJeet 04.24.22	Lost Highway, FWWM, and Mulholland Drive are the holy trinity
neekafat 04.24.22	some people here obvs need to see TSS I lean on the roger ebert side of "early Lynch was kinda rough but then he made two back-to-back masterpieces so who gives a shit lol"
fogza 04.24.22	Blue velvet balances the surreal, the horror and the absurd humour brilliantly. It's one of the few movies that perfectly houses Hopper's outsize acting, like casting genius by lynch
YoYoMancuso 04.24.22	Mulholland Drive is purely the one that resonates with me the most and I feel like that’s what Lynch is about
Ryus 04.24.22	mulholland drive is conceptually incredibly perfect but doesn't connect w me emotionally like eraserhead does. both 5s though
rabidfish 04.24.22	The Return is his magnum opus, hard agree.
Ryus 04.24.22	im so excited to get to The Return lol. literally everyone i know, both here and irl, has been hyping it up to the max
Gyromania 04.24.22	havent seen lost highway, straight story, blue velvet, elephant man, or twin peaks. i'm mostly familiar with his earlier stuff. the alphabet and other shorts, eraserhead, mullholland drive, and that rly, rly fucking bad thing he put out on netflix a couple years ago with the monkey
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Ryus, The Return is so good it makes the original look like chump change, and the original was already the greatest television show of all time Also Lynch monkey time short was hilarious
ArsMoriendi 04.24.22	The Return is the best thing Lynch probably ever did
Ryus 04.24.22	pots how do you feel about the second half of season 2
Ryus 04.24.22	""The Return is the best thing Lynch probably ever did" its crazy how many people seem to be in agreement about this, considering how fucking good most of his stuff is.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Season 2 undeniably dulls down for a little bit after Lelend goes bye bye but picks back up again and includes a some of the best episodes of the show I don’t mind the temporary reprieve in the grand scheme of things.
combustion07 04.24.22	I haven't seen the comeback of Twin Peaks yet but it's good to see some praise for it. I honestly forgot it happened and I need to get on it asap
neekafat 04.24.22	agreed, the end of S2 completely brought it back to me I couldn't believe how strong that final run was Still making my way through The Return!! Lovingg it so far tho
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	I’ve watched the Return 4x lol
YoYoMancuso 04.24.22	Yeah the last few episodes of season 2 are pretty fantastic
neekafat 04.24.22	i don't blame you! the initial Dougie Jones arc (outside of the casino sequence ofc) bugged me but I'm back into it lol
YoYoMancuso 04.24.22	HELLLLOOOoooOOOOooOOOOO
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	The dougie jones arch is hilarious but very worrying the first time around especially as you start running out of episodes and that’s all I’ll say about that since ryus hasn’t seen but in the end it it all works out imo
rabidfish 04.24.22	Dougie is blessed. Like, he is literally blessed.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Oh dougie
Gyromania 04.24.22	"Lynch monkey time short was hilarious" what was funny about it?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.24.22	Literally everything
Gyromania 04.24.22	it just seemed like david lynch rly far up his own ass, to me. maybe i'll rewatch it, because i don't rly remember the subject matter much or anything rly outside of the song, which i def didn't find funny or creative
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.25.22	felt like the complete opposite to me literally just Lynch fuckin around and having some fun
Hyperion1001 04.25.22	inland empire has always been my favorite but i also really love lost highway. still need to see the twin peaks reboot.
Gyromania 04.25.22	Man I need to see twin peaks period haha. Hard to find a good dl tho
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.25.22	all of it is on crave
Avagantamos 04.25.22	I need to watch more of his movires, but twin peaks S3 was one of the most insane things I've ever seen
Veldin 04.25.22	Inland Empire is getting a restoration soon which is exciting
Veldin 04.25.22	Yeah agree with others that TP Return is my favorite. Also looooove Fire Walk With Me
Ryus 04.25.22	yeah im hyped for the inland empire restoration. gonna try to see it in theaters
Hyperion1001 04.25.22	one of the reasons i like it so much is the weird texture the SD digital cam gives everything, so i just hope they can preserve that in the upscale.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.25.22	Lost highway is getting one too. That film was in particularly dire need.
naughtcturnal 04.25.22	have the kino lorber edition of lost highway and the label looks like it was printed on a home printer. Movie is amazing but this edition overall really sucks.Glad to see it is getting a new restoration as I think it is among Lynch’s best Have heard many great things about Inland Empire and am really forward to finally getting the chance to see it Nicolas Cage karate moshing in Wild at Heart is one of the best things to ever happen in cinema
Ryus 04.25.22	yeah wild at heart has a lot of iconic scenes. just goes to show how good lynch is that it's only 7th here
WeepingBanana 04.25.22	Haven’t seen em all but it’s gotta go Mulholland Drive Eraserhead Wild at Heart Blue Velvet Lost Highway Fire Walk With Me It’s been forever since I’ve seen Lost Highway tho. Gotta finally get around to the others at some point
Ryus 04.25.22	lost highway is one i need to rewatch. the first half didnt really grab me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.25.22	Lost highway is a jarring first watch
Ryus 04.25.22	yeah basically all his movies warrant at least one rewatch and get better the second time around
tectactoe 04.25.22	Someone close to my own list except for INLAND EMPIRE (which I think is a massive pile of wank) and FIRE WALK WITH ME is top 3. Nice list.
Ryus 04.25.22	understandable and we will see where FWWM will land sometime this week!
Jasdevi087 04.25.22	it was the 2nd half of Lost Highway that didn't grab me tbh. fucking loce the tailgating scene though
combustion07 04.25.22	For me it's the phonecall scene in Lost Highway. To this day that stands up as one of the most eerie moments ever put to film. If not the most honestly
rabidfish 04.25.22	that man is so fucking scary. Was the actor in jail for murder or that's just some movie myth?
Ryus 04.25.22	i think he killed his wife or sumn
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.25.22	Yeah for me it was the second part that lost me the first time I watched lost highway. Switching characters felt jarring. Once you make some sense of it it feels a lot better, making repeat viewings a lot better. Sometimes that movie is my fav lynch. The soundtrack is fucking iconic.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.25.22	Blake was acquitted of murder but it’s a fishy story. Wiki it.
tectactoe 04.26.22	SIX FUCKING CAR LENGTHS!
neekafat 04.26.22	Just saw Wild at Heart and reallyyyyy liked it. Probably top 5 Lynch for me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.26.22	Wild At Heart, True Romance, and Natural Born Killers ultimate valentines trilogy
neekafat 04.26.22	Oooh love that, still have not seen Natural Born yet somehow WaH looked like something Tarantino watched obsessively in his video store days
Ryus 05.03.22	saw FWWM last week. there's a lot about it i love, and it's probably lynch's most depressing film. not upper-tier lynch for me but my feelings are bound to change on a second watch. i'm four episodes into "The Return" and holy shit dude, it's like every lynch trope i love rolled into one. the first half of episode 3 was peak TV. it's strangely emotional seeing how everyone aged since season 2. the moments between log lady and hawk were so touching.
Jasdevi087 05.03.22	can't wait until you get to episode 8
TheSonomaDude 05.03.22	1 and 2 are 1 and 2, nice that we agree
Gyromania 05.03.22	this list has inspired me to go through all of his films in one week. wish me luck
notagenius 05.03.22	I watched ERASERHEAD again during the last tec movie discussion and lost 2 pounds because I didn't eat for 2 days due to excessive nausea. even so ERASERHEAD is indeed 1.
Ryus 05.04.22	"can't wait until you get to episode 8" i have heard great things everything is moving so fast and so slow at the same time i have no idea what is going on
Ryus 05.04.22	have fun gyro
robertsona 05.04.22	interesting guy but Mulholland Drive is the only one I like, and I have reservations about that one too
rabidfish 05.04.22	"everything is moving so fast and so slow at the same time i have no idea what is going on" lol i had the same exact experience the 1st time. Even though i really liked it at first, it's one of those things that gets massively better on re-watch. Recommend you to give it some time to process it, tho.
Jasdevi087 05.04.22	yeah 2nd watch is better cause you know exactly where your expectations lie
Winesburgohio 05.04.22	The Return is my favourite thing ever put to film i think
tectactoe 05.04.22	"I watched ERASERHEAD again during the last tec movie discussion and lost 2 pounds because I didn't eat for 2 days due to excessive nausea" Wow, and not even a single thank you !!!!
tectactoe 05.04.22	Glad you liked FWWM, Ryus. Figured you would. Honestly not sure why it was so critically panned upon release. I think maybe because people were expecting "closure" and didn't (quite) get it. But, like, have you fucking people ever seen a David Lynch movie before? lmao
Jasdevi087 05.04.22	most of those people would have been casual tv audiences who otherwise had no interest in arthouse cinema, expecting some kind of resolute to the cliffhanger in sesson 2. But instead they got a surrealist prequel that takes nearly an hour to actually get to twin peaks, and then was an emotionally confrontational character piece that challenged them to review how they thought about some of their favourite goofballs, further unravelled into metaphysical mumbo jumbo and then didn't even internally resolve any of that either which makes for a fantastic film, but probably didn't do much for susie and johnny who got hooked on a quirky murder mystery soap opera in 1991
kkarron 05.04.22	This is the first absolutely correct movie list I've seen on this site (even if Mulholland Drive has a stronger emotional connection for me).
tectactoe 05.04.22	@jas - even professional / critical consensus was terrible upon release, tho, not just audience / genpop scores.
neekafat 05.04.22	"Honestly not sure why it was so critically panned upon release." @tectactoe I go pretty hard into explaining why I don't like FWWM above lmao
Ryus 05.04.22	i get why people dont like it
Ryus 05.23.22	UPDATED!!!! i finished the return and it may be my new favorite "movie" so yeah it's number one
rabidfish 05.23.22	Yes I finished my 3rd rewatch last weekend. Makes it really hard to go back to regular tv shows, it's so much more interesting and so different
Anthracks 05.23.22	not bad pretty accurate. the return is def the best season of television ever. the room for analysis is like nothing i've ever seen
Ryus 05.23.22	"the room for analysis is like nothing i've ever seen" yeah it's insane, i've been thinking about it and reading about it basically every single day since ive finished it. it's everything i wanted from lynch.
Ryus 05.23.22	even with all of the hype, "the return" exceeded my expectations. i will be watching it again very soon
TalonsOfFire 05.23.22	Yes The Return is a masterpiece and pretty easily his best. My ranking would be something like 1. Twin Peaks: The Return 2. Mulholland Drive 3. Lost Highway 4. Twin Peaks: FWWM 5. Eraserhead 6. Blue Velvet 7. The Elephant Man 8. The Straight Story 9. Inland Empire 10. Wild at Heart 11. Dune
YoYoMancuso 05.23.22	The Return and Mulholland Drive are his masterpieces for sure
Ryus 05.23.22	the return is like the best culmination of his work i could have hoped for
rabidfish 05.23.22	favorite moment/scene? personally, i gotta go with the sick child and the fat lady in the car, followed closely by all the Sarah Palmer's scenes. Grace Zabriskie fucking knocked it out of the park.
neekafat 05.23.22	Cannot believe people who have actually seen Straight Story yet still claim it’s a weaker cut
Ryus 05.23.22	oh man, way too many to name, but off the top of my head: -the cherry pie scene in the desert w/ the mitchum bros -ruby's cathartic screaming at the end of a later episode (14? 15? idk) -everything involving the glass cube
TalonsOfFire 05.23.22	All of episode 8, the whole first half of episode 3, uhhh lots of stuff from the last 5 episodes. I’m gonna rewatch soon.
Egarran 05.23.22	^I must know why you rank Inland Empire so low.
TalonsOfFire 05.23.22	If you’re referring to me, I’m not sure how anyone who sat through that movie could not understand why some wouldn’t connect with it? It’s incredibly long, shot on lo-fi video, is his most confusing and off-putting even to fans... I remember liking some things about it, but does not measure up to most of his work, and kind of seems like a very subpar Mulholland Drive. I’d maybe rewatch if it was shot differently.
rabidfish 05.23.22	it's a movie with some of Lynch's best visuals, but sadly there's no connecting tissue to it. It's just too lost in itself. I still love it for what it is, but even dreams have more narrative coherence than IE.
Winesburgohio 05.24.22	i would, admittedly, rank Straight Story pretty low in the mix (which isn't to say I don't like it - on the contrary!) but it makes me v. happy that it has ardent supporters
Ryus 05.24.22	"All of episode 8, the whole first half of episode 3, uhhh lots of stuff from the last 5 episodes. I’m gonna rewatch soon." the first half of episode 3 for me too. big time eraserhead vibes
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.24.22	Putting return at 1 pretty much redeems everything else

Ryus 06.01.22	im gonna watch the return again and im even more excited to watch it the second time. cant wait to find out all the little things i didnt pick up on the first time around
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	Idk how anyone who likes the return can talk shit about fwwm considering return has exponentially more to do with fwwm than it does the og show
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	Ryus how hard did you nut when James reprised Just You?
Ryus 06.01.22	lmao it was legendary james has ALWAYS been cool
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	So iconic Donna is the only character lynch couldn’t convince me was cool And apparently even he knew that 😂
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	Duuude The scene where Bobby comes back and they say “Laura” and he has a soap opera meltdown… I C O N I C
neekafat 06.01.22	Donna is one of the best characters on the show what
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	B r u h are you fucking kiddig 😂 It is like, universally agreed upon in the Twin Peaks community that Donna is t h e w o r S t
rabidfish 06.01.22	was she in the return? i don't fucking remember her at all.
Romulus 06.01.22	JAMES HAS ALWAYS BEEN COOL
Romulus 06.01.22	also mulholland drive is my fave but reasonable minds can differ
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	@rabid no not at all, which is the point lmao
Ryus 06.01.22	highkey was glad that annie wasnt in the return either t b h
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	Pfft. Annie.
rabidfish 06.01.22	How humiliated would u feel as an actress when a character that never appears nor has any dialog and is only referd to plays a bigger role than yours, the official romantic interest of the protagonist lmao. Im so glad they dropped that whole windom Earle stuff completely
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	Windam Earl ruled. But yes he didn’t need to come back
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	What’s even more embarrassing is being such a racist bigot that lynch replaces you with a talking tree
rabidfish 06.01.22	a talking tree with a head made of already chewed-up gum, no less
Ryus 06.01.22	when you see me again it won't be me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.22	goddamn maybe i should start my 5th watch lol
Clefairy 06.01.22	3 is 1 imo
Ryus 06.05.22	just got the return on blu ray. cant wait to see all the BTS footage cuz apparently theres like 5 hours of it
Ryus 06.06.22	watched a little of the BTS stuff and its basically everything i could have hoped for. love to see how lynch directs/interacts with his actors
