However, the shots of a beefy and ponytailed Val Kilmer firing that machine gun in the plaza shootout are super powerful images that are forever burned onto my retinas.

Exactly! And man, was he ugly in that film. big_smile

smile Kilmer is the only reason to ever watch "Tombstone". Talking about Kilmer is making me want to see "Thunderheart" again.

No problem, when I first read that I thought.."Sounds similar to Scent of a Woman, never heard of that one." Then I saw the Pacino quote. Where are you from?

Lost Highway remains one of my all time favourite films. I adore David Lynch. I'd highly recommend "Inland Empire" as well.

ivanovnegro · 2012-05-24 17:53:04

Wait, Inland Empire was the movie where you do not get a clue at all? big_smile

That's the one. The reason I love Lynch's work is that it invites the viewer to develop theior own interpretation of the events. Certain things don't add up, other things do. Some things are impossible. Sometimes the only way things make sense is through the use of impossible events.

In many ways, a David Lynch movie is like an M.C. Escher drawing. Just when you think you've got it figured out, you notice some minor detail which makes your entire interpretation fall apart.

ivanovnegro · 2012-05-28 09:32:36

^ I love Lynch but Inland was too much.

Same, but I would change "love" to "like".

I am still not over that horrible movie "Dune". That was a huge steaming pile of shit. It almost ruined the Dune books for me. I got the bad taste from my mouth with a decent Dune movie, made by American scifi-network for TV. And I know, Lynch has said himself, that the movie was shit. Even though the fault was not in Lynch that much, but in other people, I associate Lynch's name with that horrible abomination.

ivanovnegro · 2012-05-28 11:25:19

^ Me not, this movie is nothing Lynch that I tend to forget it. smile

2Karl · 2012-05-28 11:37:04

Yeah I should state I love Lynch's _original_ work.

Dune.... Sting in shiny blue trunks with a tan line where his watch was.

*shudder*

rhowaldt · 2012-05-28 12:13:59

@2karl: thanks for your take on Lynch's work. i enjoyed most of his movies, but never thought of looking at them from the angle you just described.

saw the movie 50/50 yesterday, which was pretty okay.
saw a bit of Carl Sagan's Cosmos the day before that, which was just plain awesome.
watched Rushmore, which was great (co-written by Owen Wilson, i never expected less)
and i dunno if i mentioned it already, but i really liked We Need To Talk About Kevin. great movie imo.

Oh, come on! That is a cult so-bad-it's-good classic!!! Expensive yet some supremely cheesy special effects! Homophobic AND gory! Patrick Stewart AND Max von Sydow, Sean Young AND a baby Alicia Witt! THE SOUNDTRACK IS BY TOTO! FREAKING TOTO!! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!! FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER!!!!!

-edit- BTW, iMDB shows a new Dune movie in development with a tentative release date of 2014. Just think, they could eff that novel up even worse!

Also featuring as mentioned before, Sting! Oh my God, that movie is bad. And it managed to be really, really gay and homophobic at the same time. How can you even pull that off? (Although, those elements were in the book, but in a much, much smaller scale.) And wierding. What the hell. That shit wasn't even in the books. Seriously, wierding? Oh hell no.

I had just read the Dune and was eager to see how (no less than David Lynch) had managed to turn that excellent book into a movie. You can imagine my disappointment. That very same day that I watched that movie, my car broke down. You'd imagine that it would make the day even worse, but when your town is hit by an a-bomb and you hit your toe the same day, you don't really care about the latter. And the movie was the a-bomb. The a-bomb of disappointment.

E: To be honest, it isn't the worst movie I have ever seen. (The house of the dead is. That movie is as bad as it gets. Seriously, f*ck that movie.) It had it's moments. I thought the scenery was good, some actors pulled their roles OK. I though the main antagonist, Vladimir Harkonnen, played by "that fat guy from Rome" was pretty good, almost what I imagined Vladimir would be like. (Without the horrible face... thing. What ever that was. Creeped me out every time.) The movie was bad as hell, because: It was nothing like the book. Sometimes it is acceptable, but when you pull stupid shit like wierding, it isn't. I understand if you believe your audience hasn't read the book, but damn, in some parts they don't explain anything and you have to had read the book to know what is going on.

In short: The movie was nothing like the book and bad as such. Without reading the book, it sucked as well. It sucked from left to right. I imagine it was disappointment for fans of the book and ordinary moviegoers alike.

Seriously though, a friend and I saw that movie in the theater when it came out and, although we thought it was pretty awful and were mystified at how bad some of the special effects were (the spaceships at the beginning, in particular), we did not walk out on it as we had with both "Neighbors" and "The Gong Show Movie". It at least held our interest, and some of it, like the Guild emissary scene, was downright fascinating. As I have watched this movie again over the years, it has really grown on me. I seriously love it, it's one of my top cult movies, along with "The Omega Man" ('71), "Death Race 2000" ('74), "Excalibur" ('81), "Repo Man" ('84), "Robocop" ('87), "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" ('88), "Event Horizon" ('97), The Evil Dead trilogy ('81-'92), and John Carpenter's classics "Escape from New York" ('81) and "The Thing" ('82). Those are off the top of my head, I'm sure I'm missing a few.

"You are The Duke of New York you're A-Number One!!!"

"Till BLAMMO! Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead!"

"I see plans within plans."

BTW, did anyone know that Ridley Scott almost directed Dune? I'm glad he didn't as he ended up making Blade Runner instead.

With Ridley Scott, Dune could have been a huge hit and an amazing movie. It could have been that with Lynch also, but it was not to be. Interference from producers and development hell at it's finest ruined it.

Speaking of Ridley Scott, saw this on his IMDB page:

"Untitled Blade Runner Project (announced) 2014"

Oh no. Oh no.

Another cult classic! "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum." "Brother, life's a bitch... and she's back in heat."

Oh no. Oh no.

With a female protagonist. If Prometheus is good, and I think it might be, I'll be looking forward to it. Nothing will ever match the unexplainable magic (*cough* Vangelis) of the original though.

In case it hasn't been mentioned in the 14 pages of this thread, "Man On Fire" ('04) directed by Ridley's brother, Tony Scott, is an excellent, excellent movie.
