If yall don’t mind I’m gonna shut the Indy debate. I saw Infinity War on Saturday and it was fantastic. I might go watch it again next Saturday.

I understand not wanting to see a pointless sequel, I just don’t get how the original three Indiana Jones films tell some kind of story that was concluded and never needed to be revisited.

It’s not that all three create some sort of big story. It’s that TLC ended in a way that leads the character to a grand sendoff. It was the emotional culmination of the series. So yeah, he never needed to be revisited again.

It’s like if after Star Trek VI, after all the signatures on the screen and everything, they just made another movie with the original cast, and not only that, but what if it was embarrassingly bad-- Oh… wait.

It’s not really like that. STVI in a lot of ways was about aging and one last hoorah. Other than riding into the sunset (one scene), there’s nothing like that in TLC. Sulu and Scotty also returned in later ST series and only a couple cast members were in Generations. It certainly wasn’t a movie with the original cast. I’m also not necessarily convinced that a Spielberg interview twenty years after the film came out is definitive proof that TLC was meant to be Indiana Jones’ swan song the way Star Trek VI obviously was for the original cast of Star Trek.

Mullohand Drive

What the heck was that.

Perfect review and exactly my response to it.

Like…I guess I appreciated the craftsmanship but when the movie derails into a random series of nonsensical scenes at the end, I lose investment.

The end of 2001 is crazy and mind boggling, but with a few viewings and close attention, you can make enough sense of the symbolism and meaning of the movie. I just felt disoriented after Mullohand Drive.

This was my first David Lynch movie and I hope to god that the rest are a little easier to follow.

Why not watch it again then? And some of them are (some aren’t).

If you really want some entertainment, go read what people claim Lynch was saying in that movie (as opposed to what they’re guessing he was saying).

You can’t know what he meant any more than you can know that God does or does not exist. 😉

I could try but it’ll have to wait. I was mentally shaked up quite a bit by the end. It was oddly scarier than almost any horror movie right at the end. When the old folk were chasing here while manically laughing, I was thoroughly disturbed.

That’s a good sign, would be bad if you had no reaction at all. It’s a pretty great movie.

Art has meaning beyond what the creator intends. If David Lynch wanted people to interpret his films only one way he wouldn’t keep his intentions to himself.

That doesn’t mean though that it’s impossible to approximately guess his intentions.

Yeah, I obviously am not too hot on the movie after a first viewing, but I can’t deny that it deeply affected me and I will look up some interpretations and watch it again sometime.

If you’re interested in another similarly creepy as hell movie, Blue Velvet is a lot more straightforward, narratively speaking.

I’ve only seen Dune. It sucked, but I appreciated some of the style, so it didn’t ruin Lynch for me or anything.

Eraserhead is my favorite David Lynch movie. I still haven’t seen any Twin Peaks, though.

Twin Peaks might be some of his all time best work.

Ok.

I read a bunch of interpretations and none of them made sense.

I don’t even pay attention to who is directing a movie. I usually do a little reading on a movie before I watch it, but I just read the directors name and don’t retain it. Couldn’t tell you if I’ve seen a David Lynch film or not.

Dune fails as a David Lynch movie and as an adaptation of the novel. It’s almost impressive.

Don’t let that put you off reading the book, or (assuming it’s good) seeing Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming adaptation when it materializes.

O, I had already read the book, and quite love it, and I’m excited for Villeneuve’s version.

You’d remember a Lynch film if you ever saw one. He has a style as unique as Kubrick, who admired Eraserhead enough that he screened it for the cast and crew of The Shining.
