Christian Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Uh-oh. "Peace man David Lynch's films, such as Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks, show a dark vision of the world. Is that why he is helping an Indian guru raise a billion dollars to build a university of peace?" http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,12...1103659,00.html Quote "What matters are movies, not awards; experiences, not celebrations; the subjective power of individual critical points of view, not the declamatory compromises of consensus." - Richard Brody, "Godard's Surprise Win Is a Victory for Independent Cinema," The New Yorker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted December 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Completely missed it. Sorry.

Guest Russell Lucas Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Don't be. I'm kidding, of course. Heather Graham, no less, credits Lynch with hooking her up to meditation when she was working on Twin Peaks. She says it changed her life. Take that as you will.

Overstreet Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Here's a revealing interview with David Lynch from 2005, some of which is quoted in his book Catching the Big Fish. I always hear such terrifying things from Christians about TM. But I rarely hear substantial thought on the subject. It's either wonderful or the gateway to demon possession, depending on who's enthusing. I'm wary of the whole subject, but I'd like to find some thoughtful, serious writing on the subject by a Christian. Quote P.S. I COULD BE WRONG.

Overstreet Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Wow, I remember that thread. But I don't remember the elimination of Gregory's posts. Did he delete them, I wonder?

My hunch is that he deleted them himself, since the actual posts are still there, just emptied of content; in the other two-and-a-half cases I'm aware of, when people's posts have been purged from this site, the entire posts have been deleted altogether (except when they were at the start of a thread). Then again, it's possible the post-purging technology was different in the early days of this forum ... Quote "Sympathy must precede belligerence.

Mr. Arkadin Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was dragged to a Duran Duran concert a few years ago and expected to have an awful time. But ya know what? It was a blast. Perhaps the most fun I've ever had at a concert. Quote I've Seen That Movie Too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBooth Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Is this a good time to admit that I'm a modest fan of Duran Duran? Not an own-everything-they-put-out fan, but enough to have a couple of albums and revisit them occasionally with a goofy grin plastered across my face. Quote Nathanael T.

Christian Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Arts Journal linked to this Patti Smith interview of Lynch. I haven't had a chance to watch it, but the link made it sound worthwhile.
