David Lynch did at least have a go at The Guild Navigators. Denis Villeneuve side stepped them completely and they are the reason Arrakis and The Spice are fought over. Blobs floating about in tanks weren’t his thing…

Funnily enough I watched Don’t Look Now this week. First time in about 40 years. Lots to say about the camera work and cutting between scenes which is somehow both amateurish but unsettling.

Julie Christie tho’ :heart:

From what my Mum has said over the years, watching him as part of the Holy Trinity at United was a magical time!

Wont mean much to anyone here but I heard today an old work colleague was found dead on his couch after 2 weeks.
His last Facebook message was pretty loaded.
Rest In Peace Mark, may your shiny trousers go with you.

Yeah. Then again, if you’re watching David Lynch for a consistent, sense-making, all-comes-together-in-the-final-act plot then maybe you’re in the wrong cinema ? It’s about The Art.

Lynch tries to manipulate the viewer but without telling them what they should think.

When it came to Mulholland, neither did he :slight_smile:

Man U would have been relegated anyway with the other results that day. I took a pic of his statue in Aberdeen when I was doing some Scottish groundhopping
