From Davis DVD

I'm still trying to figure what was going on in that film...

BuckNaked2k

Welcome to the mind.......of David Lynch.

Great news. I'm a huge Lynch fan and was a little po'd at myself for not trying to hunt this down in theaters. Although from what I hear it was a grueling 3 hours.

Giles

actually I found it to be quite mesmerizing - but, yeah... a three hour running time for a David Lynch film can be taxing to some.

ThatGuamGuy

Wow, a two-disc set with Lynch's participation?

The movie must've done *really* bad if he's actually stepping up and trying to help it sell better that way. What's next, chapter stops?

Gondor

Hmm I thought this was coming out on June 12. But I can wait a little while longer, there is enough Lynch in my blood for a while from all those Twin Peaks episodes last week.

great news and i cant wait to see this again, a masterpiece IMO.

i assume this will be the US cut that was shown here in theaters. imdb lists 2 longer running times, one a little longer for the UK and a much longer one for Poland. i think the US version was his preferred version but i would love to see the longer version released somewhere. im still trying to find more information on these longer versions but cant seem to find any.

as for doing *really* bad, i dont think that has anything to do with it. i suspect it did as well as Lynch expected it, i sincerely doubt he had any high expectations for such an inaccessible film (for most) like this.

I had two chances at seeing this theatrically, but it came and went too fast.

Is this worth a blind buy if I'm a big Lynch fan (especially Eraserhead, Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive)? I never got a chance to see it in theaters as no one was showing it.

I'm a huge fan of those films, as well as some others of his, however I don't know if I can recommend this one. It was just... I don't know... it was out there... I tried to follow it, but just couldn't.

If you liked his three most out-there films, you atleast owe it to yourself to see this. I don't think it was any "thougher" than Lost Highway.

You'll probably be able to pick it up for 20 bucks, and I'm sure the special features are worth it alone. Just watching Lynch speak is always entertaining.

I recommend it, although there is no guarantee you will think it is a masterpiece.

Personally I can't wait to see it again. So many incredible scenes in the film. They still haven't left my mind.

no online reviews of this yet? and why amazon.com is listing it as "limited"?

MikeDeN2K

He's participated on (almost) all of his releases. Even the Mulholland Drive DVD, when it came to the transfer. I don't really know what the hell you're implying.

Spiral Staircase

Review

It does have chapter stops, but no scene access menu.

Oliver Clothesoff

75 minutes of deleted scenes is pretty sweet.

animatedude

hmm the R2UK disc doesn't have the 75 min deleted scenes....but i think each release hat its own unique extras...iam confused which one i should get.

Shannon Nutt

Basically a compromise by Lynch, who considers his movies "art", and doesn't like the idea of people jumping around in them. He thinks movies should be viewed completely, from beginning to end and "speak for themselves". Also the main reason he doesn't do commentary tracks for his DVDs, by the way.

Josh Z

He's referring to the fact that Lynch had in the past repeatedly voiced his dislike for the concept of DVD "extras", and preferred his movies to stand on their own.

The Running Man

I think that's where the confusion lies. He is not against extras. After all, he appears on the Wild at Heart DVD for the number of featurettes on it.

What he doesn't like doing are audio commentaries.

Josh Z

He appeared in one featurette on the Wild at Heart DVD, which was specifically about the video transfer. He did not participate in any of the other extras on the disc, nor in any of the extras in the Twin Peaks box sets.

He did, however, do a feature-length interview for the Eraserhead DVD, and recorded similar segments for his short films collection.

The Running Man

Gee Josh, you sure proved me wrong.

obscurelabel

Is the transfer from film or direct from video? For "The Aristocrats", which was shot on video, the theatrical showings were from film prints made from the video (and looked crappy). The DVD was mastered direct from video and looked much better on TV than it did in theaters (to me anyway).

The Running Man

The movie wasn't shot on film. It was shot on DV.

Knowing that Lynch is totally invloved in the making of this disc, then there should be nothing wrong with the transfer itself.
