'Eraserhead' (1977) film

-watched 4/14/2023- 1 star- on Max

I don't know why this movie got pretty decent reviews- I like David Lynch's far-fetched, comical, horrific, artistic work, but when some of it doesn't make a lick of sense to me, I'm aggravated with myself for having sit there through the entire thing!

The Short Films of David Lynch 1967-1974

Movies #1,029-1,036 • SHORT FILM MONDAYS

Most, but not all, of these EIGHT shorts are compiled on the 2002 video release. I plan on watching all of the Lynch short films I can find, probably in three chronological installments.

SIX MEN GETTING SICK (SIX TIMES) (1967)

A living painting soundtracked by sirens and other bleeps and bloops. Blasts of color, flashes. Gotta fill them hole sacks, boys! A sudden burst of purple accompanying the vomit. Repeats guess how many times? The repetition seems key, makes it work, as you can pick up on different things each time, like the word "SICK" flashing (didn't catch that until pass #5). Quite the beginning!

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ABSURD ENCOUNTER WITH FEAR (1967)

Huge menacing movie classical piece (I believe this is György Ligeti? It repeats in other early work, primarily “Early Experiments”) soundtracks man (early collaborator Jack Fisk in Blue Man Group mode) walking through tall grass in an open field by a forest, encounters whiteface Peggy Lynch (David’s first wife, who will be a constant in these shorts as well). She’s crouching, looks scared and undoes his fly and pulls out some dandelions? This is the earliest commentary on #MeToo, perhaps. He gets 'caught' by the camera and faints. Lovely destruction of the film stock here as well.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FICTITIOUS ANACIN COMMERCIAL (1967)

Jack Fisk, looking very Amish, gets some aspirin from God.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

SAILING WITH BUSHNELL KEELER (1967)

An ominous soundtrack replaces native audio of this not-so quaint sailing trip. We see the titular Keeler, his son Dave and a boyish Lynch himself. Things have slowed down. Not your typical day on the boat vibes; what could have been the darkness he was exploring here? Something something capitalism (yachting shit?)? Doubtful. Slow fade to blackness. Nobody knows.

SCORE: ��️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

EARLY EXPERIMENTS (1967-1968)

This odds and ends edit came out on DVD in 2002, comprises various things made around the time leading up to The Alphabet. Flashing images, some living art again, kaleidoscope-style. We then see Lynch and he's clearly 'acting' — slowly moving his hands, casting shadows, etc., and this goes on for several minutes

This transitions into a painting with a symmetrical design with fire underneath, utilizing a mirror effect. Then we see Peggy in a rocking chair in black room. She's having some tea. There are jump scares. Jump scares, yes. Lynchian jump scares. She is legit creepy. Green paint on baby doll head. Mirror effect on Peggy in white room to very successful results.

Easily the freakiest thing yet. Really making good use of mirror and other in-camera FX but maybe edited way later?

Back to the symmetrical living art; the fire increases.

We briefly see Lynch behind the camera again, a slower and even more ominous return.

My one issue is maybe the utilization of this music; I think it would make anything you're watching 90% creepier.

Now things have really slowed down, blurry images

Cut to an older actress but same visuals and scenes from Alphabet room and also Peggy is still there.

Return to the living art and the whole painting has changed and we see a demonic figure at center.

More mirrored stuff with Peggy but more cut up with faster edits and we see some geometric design which looks a lot like the floor in the Twin Peaks red room.

Cool effect over the old lady face, drawing on the film strip...

Mirroring a dead insect now...

I mean, I could just make gifs out of every part of this. Very giffable shit...

Living painting of a tree on black background. And then it ends.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THE ALPHABET (1969)

Probably the best distillation of the early work, condensing all these cool and very weird modes and tricks in a tight four minutes.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THE GRANDMOTHER (1970)

The movie that dares to ask, what if humans grew from the ground like trees and barked like demented seals? At over a half hour this is longest standalone short by a wide margin. It employs similar tactics as The Alphabet (a mix of weirdo live action and kooky living page) but with enhanced sound editing (his first collab with the great sound designer Alan Splet) and a more in-depth narrative: a young boy wets the bed and his dad freaks out, slamming him into the wet spot. The mother's not much better, weirdly over affectionate and so naturally this piss kid grows a grandmother from some magical seeds on his bed. But the trouble persists so he becomes part of the Lynchian cut-out art world and murders them…

Then he briefly makes out with plant Grandma before the whole thing descends into some final chaos. This honestly might be the weirdest thing he's beer made and that's saying something!

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½

THE AMPUTEE (1974)

The Twin Peaks log lady (Catherine E. Coulson) plays a legless double amputee and she gets her bandaged stumps treated by a male nurse as she narrates a letter she's writing about relationships and people. I really appreciate how everything before was more or less an experiment in the visual and this one — just a single static shot — is experimenting with form. Feels like an important bridge to the future for Lynch.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½

Dorothy McGinnis Grandmother Richard White Boy Virginia Maitland Mother Robert Chadwick

just wanna point out that Emily Van Camp, and several other actresses within the MCU, would’ve received an absolute shit storm of hate had they said this about their roles in marvel movies or shows.

in fact, I can almost guarantee that if Lashana Lynch came out and said something similar about her role as Captain Marvel in the exact same movie, she would be the subject of endless vitriol.

goes a long way to show the privilege that P*ggy and Atw*ll are given.

Фотографии в книге Линча отпад - в целые развороты (еще б на мелованной бумаге, эх). Есть раритеты. Например, я знаю его с бородой только по Weather Report. На фото режиссер со своей первой женой Пегги Линч (Пегги Риви), тоже художницей.

Your Twin Peaks fun fact of the day

Day #20

Once again, there are two facts in this post

Fact #1

During a panel for The X-Files with David Duchovny, who played Denise Bryson, Duchovny was asked about his role of DEA agent Denise Bryson.

He revealed that the role was originally written for Mark Frost's friend, cult actor James Spader. However, Spader ended up having to turn down the role due to a scheduling conflict with another shoot, so the role was offered to young up-and-coming actors and David got the part.

And the only thing he now regrets about his time during the first two seasons of the show is that none of his scenes were directed by Lynch.

Fact #2

The show and the prequel movie's immense popularity in Japan led to a series of commercials advertising Georgia canned coffee.

The commercials starred Kyle MacLachlan (Agent Cooper), Mädchen Amick (Shelly Johnson), Catherine Coulson (Log Lady), Harry Goaz (Andy Brennan), Michael Horse (Hawk) and Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Moran) as well as a new agent, "Ken," played by a Japanese actor. The spots presented a new mystery and even referenced the Black Lodge.

Here's the (amazingly bizzare) commercial:

How "Twin Peaks" shaped the entire golden age of TV

"Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" wouldn't exist without David Lynch and Mark Frost's dark, strange, intricate series

By JAMES ORBESEN PUBLISHED JUNE 22, 2014 9:00PM (EDT)

"Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" wouldn't exist without David Lynch and Mark Frost's dark, strange, intricate series

If we do indeed live in a golden age of TV, when exactly did this age begin? Did it start in the desolate sands of New Mexico? How about on the upper floors of a Manhattan office building? Maybe on some deserted island? What about New Jersey’s Meadowlands or, going back even further, some dark corner office in the depths of FBI headquarters?

No, this golden age grew out of a small, tree-ringed town in Washington state. A little place, with damn fine coffee and world famous pie: Twin Peaks.

With its upcoming Blu-Ray release, “Twin Peaks” is being repackaged for a whole new audience that missed out on its April 1990 debut. This might indicate some sort of lingering nostalgia or demand for this premium format. However, this show, influential as it is, seems almost forgotten. Who talks about David Lynch and Mark Frost’s televised masterpiece these days, one of the first water-cooler shows? Almost 25 years old, this short-lived series casts a large shadow on contemporary television.

Many of the defining aspects of “Twin Peaks” can seem clichéd today: Its narrative intricacy, its darkness, its reliance on antiheroes. But that's just because we are by now so used to the show’s sensibility in our televised diet. What set this show apart has so thoroughly been assimilated that talking about it is like pointing to the sky and calling it blue. But this engaging, surreal and occasionally frustrating, 30-episode series about the hunt for a prom queen's killer was ahead of its time. Many of today’s modern classics owe it a debt audiences might not be aware of.

For instance, the show was a pioneer in seeding a dense mythology, complete with flash forwards, dream sequences, extra-dimensional spirits and otherworldly villains. Much like another trailblazing program, the British “The Prisoner,” this gave loyal watchers a sort of inside status and secret knowledge that could be analyzed and debated in small cultlike circles. This quality could be hair-pullingly frustrating, but helped immerse viewers. This aspect was wholly replicated by both Chris Carter’s “X-Files” and Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse’s “Lost,” two shows with fan bases full of encyclopedic knowledge.

“Twin Peaks’” overarching story lines and multi-episode narratives echo in “The Killing” and “True Detective.” The search for Laura Palmer’s killer could be the hunt for Rosie Larsen’s. The two are even killed in the same setting: the Pacific Northwest. Instead of the typical one-and-done detective story, a staple of a “Twin Peaks” contemporary, “Murder She Wrote,” the mystery wore on, eventually webbing to encompass more threads than the sleuth could possibly handle.

“Mad Men’s” cast of double-life-leading ad executives also has origins in “Twin Peaks.” Don Draper’s upstanding and conformist exterior is contrasted with his tortured, reckless inner self. Much like high school golden girl Laura Palmer, who secretly prostituted herself for vast quantities of cocaine, outside and inside do not match.

On “Breaking Bad,” Walter White’s transformation from mild-mannered chemistry teacher to drug kingpin mimics the extra-dimensional BOB, a metaphor for the darkness inside us all, from “Twin Peaks,” who sneaks in and slowly corrupts formerly upstanding members of the town. Loving Leland Palmer, Laura’s father, becomes corrupted to the point where he commits the ultimate crime.

Even the look of “Twin Peaks” has defined modern television. Lynch brought a whole new sensibility to the medium: This was a show that looked like a movie. Through the editing and attention to cinematography, Lynch expanded the vocabulary of the small screen. Compared to “Twin Peaks”’ main competition on Thursday nights, “Cheers,” the difference couldn’t be starker. The wide, flat, utilitarian angles of that sitcom clashed with “Twin Peaks”’ quick cuts, multiple locations and composed shots -- to quote Lynch, they were “pretty as a picture.”

Dramas made before “Twin Peaks” now look undeniably dated. It’s like comparing those sad, fixed-camera sitcom holdovers, like “The Big Bang Theory” or “Two and a Half Men,” to the free-flowing, dynamic hand-camera work of “Arrested Development” or “The Office.”

However, these are all surfaces. The true debt modern televised masterpieces owe to “Twin Peaks” is that it brought the hand of the show runner to the forefront. Mark Frost and David Lynch were both granted a level of creative control that ensured their vision made it to the screen. All television is a collaborative process and it is hard to work out exactly who contributed to what. But, with Lynch’s strong, authorial voice, cultivated previously in, perhaps, his greatest film, 1986’s “Blue Velvet,” “Twin Peaks” had a feel unlike anything else on TV at the time.

The pilot episode, which registered some of ABC’s highest ratings at that time and bears the strong evidence of Lynch’s stamp, is filled with edges that would have been sanded down without a clear artistic vision. An actor flubs a line and it’s kept in the final cut to add a bit of naturalism. A faulty fluorescent light flickers on and off during an autopsy scene, furthering the audience’s discomfort. Set dresser Frank Silva is accidentally caught in the reflection of a mirror during a shot, almost accidentally making him the series’ main villain. All of these wrinkles were kept in at Lynch’s insistence.

The role of the show runner is clearly essential to understanding our current golden age. Trying to make “Mad Men” without Matthew Weiner's attention to detail, you end up with period flops like “The Playboy Club” and “Pan Am.” They look right, but feel all wrong. Art by committee ends up looking like a Spirograph painting: Jackson Pollock without the Jackson Pollock.

The truncated first season of “Twin Peaks,” only eight episodes long, was heavily curated by Lynch, whether directly or through his choice of directors. However, once he departed to direct 1990’s “Wild at Heart,” the show slowly lost focus in its second season. Without the driving mystery of Laura Palmer’s death, both drawn out and resolved too quickly in a piece of painful fence-sitting, the series petered out. “Twin Peaks,” despite all its innovations, died an ignoble death, hemorrhaging viewers. Not even Lynch’s sort-of prequel film, “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me,” could salvage the show.

Still, “Twin Peaks” lit the way for modern television’s renaissance. Despite its short life and many flaws, the DNA of this show has mapped itself onto contemporary TV. We’ve absorbed it and expect it, now, in our great dramas. When tracing our golden age’s roots, look to a place covered by green.
