It’s official. David Lynch’s Inland Empire has a trailer, and it looks weird.
From that scary opening wide angle shot of the old woman onwards, Laura Dern looks confused and – understandably – scared. That family of people wearing deer (or rabbit) costumes has me scratching a hole in my head, and that mangled face looking down the lens will give me nightmares from now until Lynch retires.
Can’t say we didn’t warn you though…
They’re not deers, my DEER boy, they are in fact rabbits. In a sitcom. One of them is voiced by Naomi Watts.
Oh dear, is that the sound of my mind cracking?
well, it is David Lynch…
Anyone know the song that’s playing?
I imagine it was something Lynch composed himself. It sounds similar to the Mulholland Dr stuff he penned. Could that even be his vocals?
Everyone knows that David Lynch is a creative genius. And
like many reclusive geniuses (how many times have you seen
him on the late night talk circuit), he rarely talks about
where his creativity comes from.
Consider those days over.
In a tell all book that gives the reader a rare glimpse into
the mind of a true artistic genius, Catching the Big Fish is
not about trout fishing, but about idea catching. To catch
the big ones you have to “dive deep” within your own mind
and the deeper you dive, the bigger “fish” you catch. Great
idea don’t swim on the surface, they prowl the depths of the
ocean (your mind) waiting for someone to snag them.
David has been deep sea fishing for 33 years. That is how
long he has been practicing Transcendental Meditation. He
says that it this daily practice that allowed him to catch
the
big ideas that live on the bottom of the ocean.
I have read it and I found it intriguing, fascinating,
revealing and eye-opening.
If you want know how one of the most creative artists of the
20th (and 21st) century gets his ideas and then translates
his ideas into movies that made him one of the greatest
directors in the history of film, then read this book. You
won’t be disappointed.
I have read his book of interviews (Lynch on Lynch), and for the amount of talking he does, I didn’t get much into the mind of the man. Nor did the 90 minute discussion on the Eraserhead DVD provide much on the making of the movie. But David is utterly fascinating to listen to. By being so vague he conjures up these weird yet adorable images. I can’t see this new book offering the ultimate answer to Lynch’s movie, or his creativity, but I do bet it’ll be a darn tootin good read.
