David Lynch and Lost Highway

[King Crimson]

a while back there had been some discussion about Lynch and whatnot.

i rented Lost Highway last night, i liked it quite a bit. hadn't seen it. better than Mulholland Drive in a lot of ways (just an opinion). though, i repeat what i said before, Lynch kind of makes the same film over and over--generally Freudian riffs on the conscious/unconscious mind, trauma, memory, crime/sex, the doubleness of identity etc.

and Patricia Arquette. huzza huzza huzza. in typical Sigmund Lynch fashion he always gives you some fantastic breasts. sort of like Oedipus and Benny Hill.

i'm also giving myself props for identifying some of the soundtrack as sounding a lot like the Birthday Party/Cave-ish.....to find that Barry Adamson did some of it.

Lou Reed version of "This Magic Moment" (Jay and the Americans?) was pretty cool too.

ya know, Lou was originally a doo-wop singer. before he went to Syracuse and became the "Rock and Roll novelist" and then later "the original Rapper".


and the poets they studied rules of verse, and the ladies....they rolled their eyes.....

Lynch has a talent for making visually stylish films, with hopelessly obtuse plotting.
Translated, "It looks great, but I have no idea what's happening". :P

[The Assassin]

Word. Netflixed Fire Walk With Me to see it again, and there were some nice racks in thar.

Didn't know that. I was listening to Negro Inside Me* on Saturday morning. Not because I'm a big fan so much as he's the third CD alphabetically in my collection.
