But he doesn't act disturbed--in fact, from the weekend he spent here, he sounded and acted almost normal. :) It could be that he's simply bored with the more "traditional" style of making films, ie telling a story with some kind of beginning, middle, and end, and with the characters relating to each other in something that at least tries to resemble real life, and that he's trying to create something different, to "push" the medium, as it were. If that's the case, more power to him. My problem with his films, at least Mulholland Drive, the only one recently I've had even the least desire to sit through, is that they're weird, scary, and ultimately, for me at least, boring. What the (bleep) went on in that film?? There was little story line that I could identify as such, and the characters seemed like they were cut out of comic books. It reminded me of nothing so much as a "deep" movie that everybody is supposed to think is great, even though no one really had any idea what the (bleep) actually happened, but are too scared to say so, thinking that it's their problem, and that everyone else got it because they're so much smarter, more perceptive, etc. You know, kind of like the trip the TMO lays on people. :) Anyway, Lynch himself seems nice enough, and I'm sure he's talented--maybe one of these days he'll start making movies people actually want to watch.
