Re-watched Wild at Heart last night at the movie theater on a pretty beat up 35mm print, sitting way up close in the second row. The big screen delivered and it was well worth the repeated viewing. The opening scene alone was such an instant raucous, every one of Laura Dern’s sublimely violent screams piercing through my skull.

i was thinking about going to see that too, in presumably the same cinema as you, and those seats at the front were the only ones left by the time i was going to book it so i didn't bother. i saw eyes wide shut in those front seats and to be fair it was basically fine. best seats there are the two rows on the balcony at the back

@linebaugh Then perhaps nothing stood a chance in your debauched stupor. Try watching it a few feet away from a 90ft wide screen, a fly bouncing over the soft blurred edges of the massive filmic image, swiveling your head just to take in the composition of every shot, blaring surround sound, the gasps and guffaws from the crowd, the bewildering step back out into reality, the conversations afterwards, the collective sense of having experienced something extraordinary

@shakahislop yeah Metrograph. Watched a couple of Lee Chang-Dong’s films there recently, too (good stuff!). The balcony seats seem alright but after last night I think I prefer to sit in the front half of the rows. Being close to the screen feels good, especially when it’s a real print being projected

Definitely not a good film to see hungover undoubtedly

Lost Highway’s gotta be his best, and one of the best films released in my lifetime. I have to rewatch Mulholland again because I thought I liked it more than Wild but now I’m not sure, Mulholland is more “mature Lynch” but I loved how pure and playful Wild was, probably his most cheerful optimistic movie. Then Blue Velvet, then Fire Walk with Me. I haven’t seen Eraserhead in over a decade and don’t remember it as I was on drugs. Still need to see Dune and Elephant Man. I’m not a big enough avant-cinephile or Lynch fan to say anything good about Inland Empire but I don’t dismiss it out of hand because Dern and Lynch being reunited is entertaining in itself.

Could be interesting to see but this line couldn’t be more off-putting lol

I'd go and see it if I was in the immediate area but the article assumes you just know where and what the "Salon de Mobile" is... I'm not even sure what country it is in after reading it

but I wouldn't blame the text on Lynch, it's in wallpaper*, a magazine dedicated to writing about tables and chairs. I've been told off in the past for using the word "pretentious" but that's the thought that pops into my head whenever I look at that publication...

their website used to be a horrendous case of "we care about design and know what's best" and it was perhaps the most user unfriendly experience - pages consisting of huge images with embedded text that scrolled from left to right rather than up and down, etc.
