We talked about this in the Twin Peaks thread, I think: David Foster Wallace visited the set of Lost Highway and wrote an article about his experience. I hadn't seen the movie before reading the article, and I haven't read the article since seeing the movie, so I should probably fix that: http://www.lynchnet.com/lh/lhpremiere.html
The more I think about film and the more I revisit my favorite works, the more I start to think that Mulholland Drive is my favorite movie of all time. That fucking thing just sticks to me.
Now did you say that 'cause you thought that's what we wanted to hear, or did you think about what we said and answer 'cause you truly believe that to be right?
It's something I think about a lot. My wife knows how much Lynch means to me. As we've been watching Twin Peaks: The Return together, we find ourselves in huge, long conversations about Lynch's work and about film and about art. Mulholland Drive has long been my favorite Lynch film. I saw it in the theater during it's original run and it was one of the most gratifying and singular experiences I've ever had in a movie theater.
When people ask, I say Fight Club is my favorite movie of all time. But as time goes on... and the more I rewatch both films, the more I think maybe it's moved. I think Mulholland Drive is better.

When Lynch talks about his childhood in both his book and his art documentary, he always says it this way: "My world was only about two or three square blocks. That's it. Everything I needed and everything I knew was right there." I really like that for some reason. It's such a striking image - this kid who would grow up to be such a creative, imaginative genius that a new adjective, "Lynchian", was created to describe his style grew up riding his bike through every nook and cranny of a very small corner of the world.

I lived in what people call small towns. My world was what would be considered about a city block, maybe two blocks. Everything occurred in that space. All the dreaming, all my friends existed in that small world. But it seemed to me to be so huge and magical. There was plenty of time available to dream and be with friends.

I came home from work the other night to find a copy of that book waiting for me on the kitchen table. My wife had been out with a friend and saw it and bought it for me.

Really looking forward to reading it.
Something similar happened to me with that book. My boss had an extra copy and left it on my desk one day figuring I would like it. Made my week. I'm still making my way through it. It reminds me a bit of Bicycle Diaries, actually. You can pick up and put it down at leisure and when you're engaging it, the artist is right there with you. Very conversational but also very heavy. You'll love it.

Seeing David Lynch live in conversation at Brooklyn Academy of Music a couple years back was one of the greatest nights of my life. I'd love to be able to sit and chat over coffee with that man.
I guess I'll have to add Lynch's book to my never-ending "books-to-read" list.
I just finished watching The Elephant Man. I need a few days to digest it before I write anything about it. Even though it was the one Lynch movie that I wasn't excited to watch, I thought it was a beautiful and incredible film. In fact, I loved it. I was very pleasantly surprised.
I'm very curious to hear everyone else's thoughts on the movie. . .
