Dzimas-- Hello! Blue Velvet and Inland Empire are not "cut from the same cloth" at all. Empire is a total mishmash by comparison... a patchwork of images, some wonderful, others simply bizarre for the sake of being just that. Laura Dern is the muse here, she's/that's about the only element that makes much sense. Must say I agree with Eva's summation 100%  |

Already purchased the DVD, so the money has been spent. I thought Wild at Heart was a disappointment, but it was still fun to watch. I hope it will be the case with Inland Empire.

Hmmmm... a new Batman meets The Joker?
I liked the last Batman. It is closer to the graphic novels that have gone back to the genesis of Batman, and I thought Bale did a great job projecting himself into the role, especially after The Machinist. It will be interesting to see Heath Ledger's take on the Joker after Jack's great turn many moons ago. I thought Burton really missed the boat not getting Jack Palance to play the Dark Knight, as Frank Miller had presented an aged Batman, 70+, in the graphic novel on which Burton supposedly based the first movie. Keaton was much too stiff in the role, and no match for Jack. |

Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive are Lynch in fine form, doing surrealism right and drilling holes into the American unconscious while presenting a conscious surface that can be navigated with some kind of narrative. Lost Highway is interesting, but ultimately didn't engage me that much. Wild At Heart was ugly and strange and I pretty much let it recede in my rearview mirror without worry. Eraserhead is an inkblot everyone should try staring at for a while, but if you try to reason with it you'll just feel used and depressed and probably end up hating it.
As uneven as he can be, I remain a David Lynch fan.

But Heath Ledger has a natural Joker mouth, so he's a good fit. Plus he'll need the work for child support payments. |

Ditto. Or two thumbs up. Or, yeah, I agree. But, pro'lly best to say "I couldn't have said it better my own self." |

Somehow I don't see Crowe as the Joker. Mr. Freeze maybe?

Ponderosa--
Noticed your (new?) tagline signature...Dead Man fan as well. And .02 on Bale as Batman -- so yummy -- the rest of the crew simply the frosting on that cake.

Gotta admit, saw it for the first time a couple o' weeks ago, but yeah, count me in as a fan. Now I gotta read me some Blake to get a better grasp of what was going on (smile). I'm a big fan of Christian Bale as well. I don't believe anybody could have pulled off his "American Psycho" role. He nailed it. Nailed "The Machinist" as well. Dude is something else. Ya know, if I were gay... |
