Transcedental Genius or Pretentious Hack?
Transcendental hack
Wouldn't call him pretentious. I don't think he has any pretentions of being smarter and deeper than anyone else. He is, and I mean this in the most positive sense, just an incredibly unusual person with an incredibly unusual thought process and his movies reflect that.
pretentious genius
pretentious genius, there's no such thing as a genius without pretense
>>64503849
>>64503850
pretentious genius mind
A genius who ran out of ideas.
>>64503770
really cant see how hes pretentious, especially if you hear him talk
>>64503770
>no crazy person option
He's creative, inquisitive, and entirely humble. Don't be insecure just because his movies have layers. I'd love to get a beer with Lynch.
If you've ever heard him speak, you'd know he is the nicest, most un-pretentious guy there is.
AT THIS POINT I GOT A LITTLE HEADACHE
A Pretentious Hack that makes movies like a Transcedental Genius.
>>64503770
anyone who calls lynch pretentious knows nothing about him and just bases that off watching his films.
Some people are simply weird, but Lynch is the type of weird with the ability to translate weirdness into art.

>>64503770
He's a transcendental hack.
>>64503770
IS HE AFRAID TO GO BALD??
>>64505166
>>64505027
He is a bit of an autist, though.
>>64505166
>>64505474
all the greats are
>>64505166
there's something very satisfying about Lynch cursing
he's done some things I love, some I hate. overall I like him a whole lot, and he seems like a really sympathetic person, but some of his films are pretentious stinkers.
I thought he was a hack till I watched this
http://www.abc.net.au/arts/blog/arts-desk/filmmaker-and-artist-David-Lynch-between-two-worlds/default.htm
I like him as a person but I think he's overrated as a director.
He always looks full of anger, ready to explode. I guess TM helps him not going on a killing spree.
>>64503770
>transcedental
God, do I hate this word.Anyone who describes his work as transcendental is automatically qualified as pretentious .
>>64505703
does this work also, the other way arround?
Lynch is a conservative artist teasing the terrors of modernism from out the human soul.
>>64505726
Anyone who describes someone's work as pretentious is automatically qualified as transcendental?
>>64505166
It's better than a fucking disco ball, Edgar.
>>64503770
He's not pretentious, or he's really hiding it well. I don't lightly use the term genius and when you watch Inland Empire, you can't scream genius really.
He is a very talented Artist and one of my favorite directors, that is for sure. I'm very excited to see what he'll do with the new season of Twin Peaks.
>>64505756
He supported Obama in the last two elections and his depictions of conservative Americana are usually deeply subversive. Wouldn't call him a conservative. More of a realist with an idealistic streak.
>>64505790
yes
>>64505756
>Transcendlenta
Someone gets it.
I met him earlier last year and had an opportunity to talk quite a bit. Super nice guy, really interesting.
Although... he was a little too preachy on the Transcendental meditation.
>It's the middle of the week
>suddenly your phone rings
>you pick up
>"Hey Anon. This is David. How are you doing? Are you ready to work friday night with a monkey?"
what do you guys do?
>>64505166
literally one of the best people ever
>>64505940
Hand the phone to my wife.
>>64505940
say yes and expect my hopes crushed when I turn up and the 2nd unit director is running the show
>>64505940
drink some more coffee
>>64505940
Is it weird that I can read this in his voice without looking at a picture of him? He's more impressionable than even Farnsworth or Morgan Freeman.
>>64505166
THE MONKEY
go watch nolan you fucking plebs
>>64506279
Now lets talk about some pretentious shit.
The Dark Knight is a great film, but Inception is absolutely pretentious nonsense.
>>64505648
that was inspiring as heck
>>64506341
TDK is a flick
and every one of his flicks are pretentious except for Prestige and Memento, which happen to be his best works
>>64506434
Memento is highly over rated.
I loved catching the big fish
>>64506494
No it isn't plebian
>>64506606
>plebian
>>64506606
I agree, it isn't plebian, but it is overrated.
>>64506341
I always felt like Inception was an incredibly unremarkable heist movie with the dream element awkwardly tacked on but never used for anything interesting. It's really kind of a shame because you could have done something very creative with the premise of people breaking into dreams to gather information but... well, he didn't.
>>64506679
Exactly. It was a medicore heist movie, in a dream world... Apparently. WHERE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING?
But why does everything they do not make sense and suck?
And why does it not seem dream like at all?
>>64505166
So fucking operator. I wanna be a film director.
>>64506679
I kind of liked the idea of him confronting not his wife, but his distorted, hysterical memory of his wife, in his own unsconsciousness. Everything before and after that was both boring and falsifyingly dramatic without real tension.
>>64506679
exactly my thoughts
6.5/10 max
The only pretentious hacks are French new wave
David Bowie is pretty great.
inland empire was trash
>>64503770
It's subjective.
What are your own thoughts?
>>64503841
That's a pretty good description of Lynch.
>>64508317
It wasn't.
>>64508317
Inland Empire was pretty much his best movie.
>>64510874
>>64510823
lol /tv/ babbies
This show doesn't get talked about enough. It's the hidden gem of Lynch's filmography.
>>64511186
IE was pure kino
>>64511379
watched the first episode, it was great. are all episodes of season 1 available?
Lynch has a real talent for slapstick comedy.
>>64503770
neither. LSD hairgel
>>64505166
Fucking based
>>64511496
They're all on YouTube.
>>64510874
It was his worst you mean.
>>64512238
Nope. That would be Wild at Heart. Wasn't that crazy for Dune either, didn't really feel like a David Lynch movie.

>ywn have David Lynch hair
time to end it all i'd say lads
>>64503770
those two things arent mutually exclusive
>>64512381
>Wild at Heart
>his worst
oh please
1. Eraserhead
2. Blue Velvet
3. Inland Empire
4. Mulholland Drive
5. Wild at Heart
6. The Straight Story
7. Elephant Man
8. Fire Walk With Me
9. Lost Highway
10. Dune
>>64512839
>Elephant Man as 7
>Fire Walk With Me as 8
>Lost Highway as 9
You plebs make me sick
>>64512839
Wild at Heart started off really strong but I felt it kinda lost it in the last third. I liked it when it was about Sailor and Lula going on a road trip to Vegas, getting into weird situations and being chased by excentric criminals. Once they got to the bank robbery and sailors prison sentence the whole movie kinda lost its momentum.
>>64505474
aren't we all?
>>64512666
Already knew this one, but it's hilarious. He is so angry.
>>64514062
Well, yes. Didn't mean that in a disrespectful way.
>>64503770
Lost Highway is one of the best movies of all time.
Mulholland Drive is the only original movie I've seen in 30 years.
>>64505166
holy shit
>>64515325
Seen in 30 years or made in 30 years?
also: lol
He has great taste in women.
Laura Dern, not withstanding.

that's clearly a joke
>>64516404
Dune's a tough sell. Some great visuals/design
Your list is spot on but
>>64515716
I have not seen Inland Empire. Did he really jump into that scene himself on a fucking pogo stick?or what the shit is he meaning by this?
the fuck?

"It is not my custom to go where I am not wanted"
Pretentious Hack.
god of plebs who think they have sophisticated taste
What does /tv/ think of his music?
https://youtu.be/caWXt9lCVrc
Name one good meme from his movies! I hate this hack. Name one good meme NAME FUCKING ONE!
>>64519900
it's exactly the kind of music you'd expect him to make.

HEINEKEN?
David Lynch isn't pretentious, it's just his fans make him out to be.
i still dont understand inland empire, almost ten years later.
no fucking clue what its about
Just watched Eraserhead... where should I go from here?
It was an easy film to digest desu, wasn't that mind-blowing and even plebs would be able to understand it thematically, but the imagery was on-point.
>>64520571
Lynch films (all great films, really, but especially Lynch films) aren't about a ''point'' that you get. They are not a math equation.
Falling in love with a Lynch film is a personal thing. The close analysis comes later, and even then that analysis should be only for you.
>there are people on this board RIGHT NOW who don't think Lost Highway is his best
literally one of the greatest film interpretations of a dream ever made. it is a flawless masterpiece.
>>64520665
You can confidently go through his filmography chronologically. He hasn't really made a ''bad'' film as such.
>>64520571
I really think it's about how reality is what we perceive to be our lives, but we're in fact living vicariously through our fantasies and media consumption. Once the veil is broken reality is actually a dark evil that we can't understand.
>>64519900
Pretty weird shit.
Not really stuff I'd listen to on the go but as with everything else the man touches, it can be quite fascinating.

I watched it the other month, and was surprised by how the first hour and a half is pretty linear
>>64512697
This. Beautiful head of hair.

Read this, it's worth it. It proves Lynch is not a hack. Shit is mindblowing.
>>64503770
Is there a difference?
Has anyone seen his DumbLand shorts?
>was roommates with Mike wolf
>lynch kicked him out for being "too weird"
