Do you guys think David Lynch knows shit about Hollywood we don't?
Hollywood occult / secrets thread

Care to elaborate on what would give you that idea about Lynch?
Lynch is aware of a pervading force of chaos beneath surface reality
Art looks like a conspiracy to milleanials.
>>17626794
Watch Mulholland Drive or Inland Empire....
As he got older, became more endrenched in a shady business with ties, scary ties. There's a real sense of ominous conspiracy in his films if you read past the surface level dream interpretation.
He's been rejecting the material world and brainwashing of society since eraserhead, though
And he's been on Alex Jones a few times. Him and Harry Dean Stanton are truthers (Harry's another figure who I feel has seen some terrifying shit)
>>17626802
Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive both give me the feeling that there's something out there incomprehensible and far greater than you. It's very Kafka.

The "higher ups" you see in MD are from Dian's subconscious(God this sounds like those Nickalodean "deeper meaning" explanations). It was her justification and paranoia for why she didn't get her parts.
>>17626885
I said past the superficial "it's a dream representing her psyche" reddit analysis

My entire family is in the movie industry. My mom was a Senior VP at one of the major studios. My uncle is a founding partner at the world's largest talent agency. If you watch pro sports, there's a very good chance you see my cousin on TV all the time, because he's the play-by-play announcer for a champion team.
I've never seen anything to suggest anything other than petty squabbling, stupid political backstabbing, and people trying to get rich.

Explain please
>>17627497
oh wow a shed
>>17627507
Same as any other big industry. Wherever there's people, there's fucked up shit going on, the usual kind.
David Lynch is a great director, and I bet he'd find it interesting that some people interpret his movies like this.
>>17626824
>Kafkaesque
>>17626786
I find it interesting how he cast Tom Sizemore in the new Twin Peaks. A once A-list actor, spiraled into drugs, beating Heidi Fleiss, making a fake, leaked sex video of himself. I think Lynch sympathized with him. Saw how Hollywood can do this to a person. How it can chew you up or allow yourself to chew yourself up and then spit you out. Other than Dune (which he himself admitted is a sellout film), Lynch has always gone the indie route and has enough of a following that he doesn't really need Hollywood.
>>17627507
here again.
One more thing I want to mention, because I bet a lot of you Hollywood conspiracy theorists are into this. All that spooky symbolic shit in Lost that everybody spent hours trying to figure out? It's all pointless bullshit. My dad was in Lost's art department, and they used to spend hours researching random occult shit just so they could easter egg it into sets to confuse fans.
If you look really, really close, by the way, among the weird shit you'll see are references to Gundam and Macross and a lot of video game stuff, largely courtesy of me. (Control consoles and stuff are labelled U.N. Spacy, Anaheim Electronics, Zeonic, etc.) Another show he did had a whole bunch of fun drawing up a bunch of Skyrim-inspired symbols for supposed military maps, shortly after that game came out. (There was a great "arrow in the knee" symbol on one of them.)
>>17627892
If you're not bullshitting, that's hilarious. I stayed away from that trainwreck, personally. Fringe was pretty decent, but fell apart during the last two seasons.
>>17627718
Totally Kafkaesque!
>>17626786
fun fact, in lost highway the guy he hired to be the serial killer or whatever the hell he was actually turned out to be a murderer.
>>17627763
I dont know if its that deep really, Lynch just likes casting broken people. Look at when he cast Richard Pryor, dude was half dead.
>>17627497
Only scene in the entire film actually filmed in The Inland Empire.
>>17628451
Whoa you're on to something deep.

i never found in mullholland drive a coherent thought line. feels like it just a part of a puzzle

>i never found in mullholland drive a coherent thought line. feels like it just a part of a puzzle
Good, but very long analysis of Mullholland Drive: http://www.mulholland-drive.net/analysis/analysis01.htm
tl:Dr - Bette is fantasizing about how she thinks Hollywood works ( weird power brokers/crime lords, torrid sex ) as opposed to reality ( dingy waitress jobs, dark apartments, failures living by dumpster behind the Dennys ).
>>17629079
so this whole movie is just dilusion?
good i didn´t miss anything, boring movie and david lynch sucks
Mullholland Dr was good. Everything else he has ever made has been 1st class shit.
>>17629252
>>17629395
Notice how the "Lynch sucks" crowd doesn't list a GOOD film to share with /x/... just the same old tired, "I'm a jaded teen, everything sucks" drivel.
>>17629079
I won't ever buy this movie again unless Lynch uncensors it. I don't buy the reviewers who say, you couldn't see anything anyway whether or not the pussy blur was there. Then why blur it out in the first place? Idiots.
>>17629439
>I won't ever buy this movie again unless Lynch uncensors it
You buy a lot of films twice?
Mullholland has a very steamy lesbo sex scene, what are you complaining about? The planet is awash in porn and you're upset that a film isn't showing you enough gash. Does watching a film cut into your cunt viewing time that much?
>>17629439
>buying movies haha,
dl and watch for free
>>17629423
just watched md. if there wasn´t a deeper message but the screening of delusions, then he did a poor job. he left me confused. if this was his purpose, well done fuckface, you wasted time of my life. and the lesbian shot was cringeworthy
>>17629563
Again, note dork attacks Lynch, but refuses to list any 'good films'. He's just being a teen age contrarian.
>>17629453
It's not that. Lynch censored himself SJW-style. Laura Harring sobbed about not knowing her bush would be plastered allover the Interwebs (yeah, right) and begged Lynch to censor her cooch out and he did. Frankly I'm more pissed at Harring than I am at Lynch, but they both are, pardon the pun, pussies!
>>17629463
Well, seeing as I bought the dvd back in 2002, dl movies wasn't exactly too popular back then. Internet speeds were as slow as Tor. People were just pirating music for the most part.
>>17626809
underrated. lol.
