David Lynch’s TV commercials (2017)
- partiallypro 7y agoThe "Parisienne cigarettes" ad is near identical to parts of Twin Peaks Season 3, "got a light?"
- barbecue_sauce 7y agoYeah, I was about to comment about this one. The set is very similar to the "convenience store" as it appears in The Return (if not exactly the same).
- wwright 7y agoThe Return is full of shots that are very reminiscent of his past works; there’s multiple nighttime highway shots that look a lot like Lost Highway, for example.
- pmoriarty 7y agoDavid Lynch also made a little known TV series called On the Air.[1] At its best it was full of black humor and characteristic Lynchian weirdness. Here are a couple of my favorite episodes: [2], [3] [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Air_%28TV_series%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Air_%28TV_series%29 [2] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtCMq1IKYTs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtCMq1IKYTs [3] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueL4ebNq6mU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueL4ebNq6mU
- jahlove 7y agoI was going to say that "Opium" wouldn't fly as a perfume name in 2019, but apparently Yves Saint Laurent still sells it: https://www.yslbeautyus.com/fragrance/womens-fragrances/opium https://www.yslbeautyus.com/fragrance/womens-fragrances/opiu...
- grandsui 7y agoI own one of their Opium cologne for men. It smells _really_ nice.
- pgreenwood 7y agoDavid Lynch Cooks Quinoa is one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSP-ewdJYJc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSP-ewdJYJc
- aidenn0 7y agoWTF did I just watch... If I ever get a time machine I'm going to go back in time, get Julia Child and have Lynch direct a remake of The French Chef. I can think of no better, nor higher, use of such a device.
- teh_klev 7y agoThat is tremendous. "Just sitting taking a smoke, thinking of all those little quinoas bubbling away in that pan"
- rdtsc 7y agoThe description of the train at night, stopping in Yugoslavia, was amazing. So many details, you can almost see him imagining a movie scene right there. "Moths were flipping and flying like frogs. Frog moths, were pulling themselves out of the earth..." Those who watched Twin Peaks: The Return might recognize the connection between the 8th episode and the frog moths.
- xenospn 7y agoFun fact: George Lucas approached David Lynch to direct The Return of the Jedi, and was turned down. [1] - https://lynch.fandom.com/wiki/Return_of_the_Jedi https://lynch.fandom.com/wiki/Return_of_the_Jedi
- LaserDiscMan 7y agoDavid Cronenberg was also offered Return of the Jedi, but declined, so we got Videodrome and The Dead Zone instead.
- weare138 7y agoAnother fun fact: David Lynch also used to publish an underground comic strip called "The Angriest Dog in the World". https://dangerousminds.net/comments/david_lynchs_memorably_pointless_comic_strip https://dangerousminds.net/comments/david_lynchs_memorably_p... http://www.lynchnet.com/angrydog/ http://www.lynchnet.com/angrydog/
- aazaa 7y ago> Shortly after, Lynch directed his own version of a space opera / sci-fi film: Dune (1984)
- codesushi42 7y agoSo it was for the best.
- gordon_freeman 7y agoI still remember the vivid and strange experience when I watched Lynch's masterpiece TV show 'Twin Peaks'. Just an amazing experience! I have also enjoyed his films such as 'Blue Velvet' and 'Mulholland Drive'. When watching Lynch's shows and movies I feel his creations are similar to that of Stanley Kubrick.
- ekianjo 7y agoTwin Peaks season 1 for part of it. Season 2 of TP Lynch was mostly out of the project. Season 3 had some very, very good moments (gotta light, but also the coin flipping scene), but I am still on the fence on how good it was to close the series.
- shantly 7y agoI'm still disappointed they didn't find a way to work Billy Zane into S3 at all. Even for a scene or two, haha. Shame about Bowie—to put it mildly, and not just for the show—but they managed alright. S3's a real two-watcher, and I've only watched it once so far. Haunting nonetheless. Anything that sticks with you past the credits is better than average, I'd say, and it definitely qualifies. It's not satisfying, exactly, but it plays at satisfying, at times. Hm. I really gotta re-watch that one.
- soylentcola 7y agoAlso I love the music that ends many of the episodes (bands playing in the night club).
- emmelaich 7y agoIf you like the weirdness, also see his (first film?) Eraserhead. Also Rabbits is disturbing and unsettling. But not entertaining for long.
- crispyambulance 7y agoMulholland Drive, hell yes. The diner scene was unforgettable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UozhOo0Dt4o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UozhOo0Dt4o So ridiculous but so good.
- aasasd 7y agoLynch's ads actually made me understand his style much better. For all his otherworldly weirdety and teasing of Hollywood, his 90s work looks rooted in 90s tv. It's like I watch tv dramas or ads, but with Lynch's twist—just like Pedro Almodóvar's films are 80s/90s tv with Pedro Almodóvar's twist.
- TrackerFF 7y agoA key component to the "feel" of Lynch is the music by Angelo Badalamenti. He really ties up the work.
