David Lynch...DV's filmmakers dream come true...

[John Vincent]

DUNE is an amazing film in many ways, easily the most romantic science fiction film ever made.

BLUE VELVET and ELEPHANT MAN are probably his best films. Both are provocative and touch on what it means to be 'normal.' ANd it made Dennis Hopper famous again - that's gotta count for something! :)

ERASERHEAD, is well, ERASERHEAD. It is probably the last of the great midnight movies. If it seems super weird, it's suppossed to. Great, trippy flick with amazing use of editing and sound effects (much like original THX 1138).

I'll watch anything he does at least once. Neat to see he's using a video camera.

Hmmm... Please... where can we find your works so we might all compare them?
C'mon.. Show us how a real 'master' does it...

On more serious fronts. I'm going to the Pasadena showing on Friday.
If it's good as I'm guessing it will be... I won't have ANY excuses anymore for not working. Dang!

I laugh at that myself - this guy is a total troll moderator on another forum and really gets on a lot of people's nerves with his arrogance despite the fact he has minimal training and no experience and just bought a DV cam in 2003 LOL.

Anyway, if you want a laugh, a film of his is at...

Straight Story also good
and I don't care what anyone says - Mulholland Drive kicks ass - initially I hated the first 90 minutes, but it takes skill to make you go back and appreciate the movie as a whole after watching the last half hour.

Ouch.

If Inland Empire comes out half as good as I expect it will after being shot with a PD150, I will be sticking to the camera I have and just working 3 times as hard. Heh.

Is it released yet - I can't find any concrete info other than it was supposed to be out in December sometime - can't wait.

Interesting he chose the pd150 over a z1u.

It is a limited release coming out tomorrow. Check http://www.inlandempirecinema.com/ to see if there are showings in your area.

I think he chose the PD150 for two reasons:
1) The PD150 is famous for its low light capabilities.
2) He had some of them from shooting parts of Mulholland Drive and his Playstation 3 commercial.

I have an A1U, and if the filmout turns out as good as I suspect it will, I will not be upgrading my camera. In the Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick Two equation, I'm going for Good and Cheap...
