Amazing David Lynch/Dune Footage!

Sean Young shot some AMAZING behind the scenes footage in 1983 while on the set of David Lynch's Dune. Check it out... INCREDIBLE!

RE: Themed Movie Triple Feature 01

Did you guess the common thread among the three films...?

Fractured narrative timeline.

Each of these films is often cited for telling its story in non-chronological fashion.

Themed Movie Triple Feature 01

Hey, kids:

Today I'm introducing a new feature: Themed Movie Triple Features. I'll be suggesting three movies I think you should check out for a combination of their artistic, entertainment, and historic importance.

The three movies share a common theme -- BUT, I won't be telling you what it is (right off the bat); thought it'd be fun if you can take a guess. In a day or so I'll reveal what the theme (as I see it) is... who knows, maybe you'll spot other/different things the films have in common.

Here's your first Themed Movie Triple Feature:

1. Citizen Kane (1941; dir. Orson Welles)

2. The Killing (1956; dir. Stanley Kubrick)

3. Pulp Fiction (1994; dir. Quentin Tarantino)

Happy viewing!

David Lynch Gets a Fancy Medal!

My film hero, David Lynch, was awarded this fancy-schmancy medal from some Germans for his lifetime (even though he's still alive and still working) achievement in Film.

While interviewed for the award, he said he still hasn't caught an idea for a new film (Inland Empire, 2006, was Dave's last film). He is working on a doc about the Maharishi and tearing up the canvas like a paintin' fool, in addition to snappin' off some photo work.

Next Saturday, The Germans are giving Dave ANOTHER prize! He's getting the Goslar Kaiserring, an artistic achievement award (previous recepients include Willem de Kooning and Cristo).
