David Lynch Edit

(1946, United States)   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   | 

( fr ) David Keith Lynch (born January 20, 1946, in Missoula, Montana) is an American filmmaker. Lynch's films are known for their elements of surrealism, their nightmarish and dreamlike sequences, their stark and strange images, and their meticulously crafted audio. Often his work explores the seedy underside of small-town U.S.A. (e.g. Blue Velvet and the Twin Peaks television series) or sprawling metropolises (Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive).

For Stephen Moyer, Sex Not the Same Without a Gaffer Present
I'm so used to having them on set when Anna and I are having a love scene that when we get home and we're in bed by ourselves, I kind of miss them. —Stephen Moyer wants to invite the True Blood crew back to his and Anna Paquin's bedroom [Pop Candy/USAT]Never work with a raccoon or Audra McDonald, they will always steal the show. —Raúl Esparza has some tips for aspiring stage performers [WNYC]I got a phone call from my father, who said, 'That's way too fucking sick. You can't have dark win over light ... You're the sickest bitch I know.' —Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David Lynch, on her father's reaction to her new movie, Surveillance [Hollywood & Fine]That's what I was thinking. How did people react when Abraham, out of the blue, said 'I think I'm going to cut off my [Read more]

Agent Cooper Wants to Go Back to Twin Peaks
Kyle McLachlan is reportedly interested in resurrecting Twin Peaks as a series of five-minute webisodes. David Lynch will not be involved, but if McLachlan can recruit either Mark Frost or Harley Peyton to be involved, we're fairly certain the subscribers of Wrapped in Plastic would be willing to give this project their blessing. If this comes to fruition, we have one question for Agent Cooper: How's Annie?

David Lynch’s Next Release Is Another Album
While we wait for another feature film (which is beginning to seem like it'll be a while) David Lynch is making and releasing music. He recently was involved in the smoky cool project Dark Night of the Soul with producer Danger Mouse and musician Mark Linkous, aka Sparklehorse. Now, according to EW, he's produced the music and written the lyrics to a record of guitar-based '50s-style tunes called Fox Bat Strategy, which comes out June 30.The record's full title is Fox Bat Strategy: A Tribute to Dave Jaurequi. You probably don't know Jaurequi's name, but he's the guitar player on this record and was part of the heavily atmospheric '50s-style combo that played the tunes 'The Pink Room' and 'Blue Frank' featured in Fire Walk With Me. (Both songs are embedded below.) 'The Pink Room' is one of [Read more]

David Lynch presents Jess.
Interview Project, the latest web experiment from David Lynch, launches today, a 121 part documentary series made up of three and a half minute interviews with different subjects around the country. Lynch's son Austin and Jason S. led a team of filmmakers who plucked up subjects who, one assumes, just looked like they'd have interesting things to say. The first interviewee, Jess, is a leathery 64-year-old they found in Needles, CA (a town I'll forever associate with Snoopy's brother Spike) who tell us I ain't proud of anything except just being alive.

David Lynch Directs Animated Moby Music Video
David Lynch recently directed this animated music video for Moby’s song “Shot in the Back of the Head”.

Moby Returns, Lynchian
Since the runaway — that is, never to return — success of Play, Moby has maintained a certain respectability, becoming a strangely powerful New York nightlife fixture and releasing three follow-up albums that no one really remembers, but no one really hates, either. He’s reached the point where he's ready to do whatever he wants — like release the upcoming Wait for Me. Anno [Read more]

What It Was Like to Edit David Foster Wallace
Back in the mid to late nineties, David Foster Wallace wrote three separate pieces — one on David Lynch, one on Terminator 2, and one on the Adult Video News Awards — for Premiere that have since come to be regarded as some of the finest pop-culture writing of that decade. In this fascinating interview, Jeremiah Kipp speaks with former Premiere editor Glenn Kenny about what it was like [Read more]

David Lynch on Meditation and Reuniting the Beatles
Famed director David Lynch is known for his predilection for severed ears, dancing midgets, and nightmarish dream sequences. Yet he's also involved in something slightly less creepy: the David Lynch Foundation, which teaches children how to meditate. On April 4, he's hosting the 'Change Begins Within' concert at Radio City, reuniting Paul and Ringo for the first time since the Concert for George i [Read more]

Danger Mouse And Sparklehorse's Dark Night Of The Soul Posters Are Now Everywhere
Not to be confused with Dark Was The Night, except for similar potential for mind explosion. We had more than a few conversations at SXSW about the intriguing, ubiquitous (in Emo's anyway) poster for the otherwise unknown project from old friends Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse, with a billed guestlist including Black Francis, Julian Casablancas, the Flaming Lips, James Mercer, Iggy Pop, Gruff Rhys, J [Read more]

New O+S Video - Permanent Scar (Stereogum Premiere)
O+S is the working name for the mind-meld between Orenda Fink (Azure Ray, Art In Manila) and Scalpelist (aka Cedric LeMoyne of Remy Zero). We were immediately taken (and went on at length) about their self-titled debut's coasting, bittersweet dream-pop anthem We Do What We Want To, but it's always been Permanent Scar that the outfit had in mind for a lead single. The album's press materials focus on the duo's composition process (Orenda's field recordings from an artist residency given instrumental support and shaped into backing tracks by Scalpelist) while namechecking the spirit of David Lynch, so it's a fair lens with which to watch this vid. You won't find much by way of found sound in Permanent Scar's guitar jags and rumbling bass, but there's a certain Lynchian spirit to the quick cu [Read more]

CD reviews
The song Sick Man Of Europe, named after a solo project bassist Tom Petersson launched during a 1980s break from the band, sounds like a bunch of amped-up 20-year olds gleefully bashing away in a garage for nothing more than the sheer joy of plugging in, turning it up all the way and rocking out. Petersson's nasty distorted bass dominates as Rick Nielsen's slashing guitars add to the mayhem. [Read more]

First Listen: Wild Beasts - Two Dancers
Hearing Wild Beasts for the first time is an odd and sometimes challenging experience for most. The oddity that oozes forth is abundant, yet theirs is a style and form which doesn't stray anywhere close to purposely 'wacky'. Vocalist Hayden Thorpe's switches from falsetto to gravelly growl in the blink of an eye, whilst spewing forth Morrissey-esque tales. We came very much down on the side of love them for their debut record Limbo, Panto and now we've got a sneaky preview to see if their foll [Read more]

Canon's G10: An SLR in Your Pocket
The stars were in alignment: I needed a small digital camera to stash in my backpack while Judy and I drove 4,000 miles in Utah, North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho; meanwhile, the Canon PR rep was on the horn and asking if I'd try their PowerShot G10, a pocket-size camera. I could have played hard to get (PR people love that), but I'm easy.I took the G10 along for the three weeks Judy and I spent traveling. I took over 500 shots, and dozens of videos, and was pleased with the r [Read more]

Adventures in Self Releasing: Where the Money Comes from and How
I was speaking to a producer friend of mine this week and thought he had some great ideas for attacking the current landscape. I particularly found interesting the fact that he said any movie with a budget of over $500K needs to have at least an additional $200K set aside for marketing (and maybe as much as an additional $400K total, to include prints and advertising). The way that he described the money was “safety money.” In other words, this is money set aside in the event that a [Read more]

Clip joint: Pubs and bars
Please excuse my raging national prejudice, but I always feel that when it comes to supping time in a film, Americans have a harder time hitting the spot. People on both sides of the Atlantic spend a significant portion of their lives in these interzones between home and work. But US bars don't seem to fuel the national psyche in the same Palaeolithic way as our pubs: a reassuring hearth presided over by the spirits of our true ancestors (is that JD Wetherspoon I can feel?). There's something te [Read more]
