Thanks, John. You made my point a lot better than I could. I also doubt that Lynch is tearing his hair out over this. From what I've read, he is happy with FWWM. It got a bad reception at Cannes, and I bet that upset him more than New Line ever could. He should be happy with FWWM: it's a...

MK2, then. It's still a French company. Seriously, I've tried to clear reprint rights with French copyright owners, and this is how they operate: 1. Doesn't respond to first query 2. Weeks later, they get a follow-up query 3. Months later they respond to it...with a question 4...

I totally believe New Line when they say it's not about money. CIBY 2000 is a French company. I know from working in rights and permissions in publishing that French companies are NOTORIOUS for slagging off on rights issues. They will completely ignore requests, so you can't even talk about...

I've seen this movie many times and never get tired of it. To anseer your questions: 1. Why didn't she call the police after the first murder? She does call the police from a pay phone to report the murder, but hangs up before giving her name. 2. Why did the end show her among the...

Yes, Yes, Yes! This movie's out already? I have got to get it. This is a great movie and I have never seen it in its original aspect ratio. I agree that it has occasional flaws, but it goes deeper than most every other movie about Vietnam, or any war movie for that matter. Sean Penn and...

July, eh? Ugh. End of Evangelion must be the first movie I ever got the poster, soundtrack, and fansub for, almost a full year before a legit Region 1 version sees the light of day. Since it's a masterpiece I'll probably still get it when it comes out...but July??? What exactly are they...

I don't want to sound like I'm harping here, but I think it's wrong to refer to Diane's fantasies as "dreams." Maybe outside a Lynch movie it wouldn't make any difference, but throughout Lynch's work he has clearly drawn a line between "dreams" and "fantasies." In "dreams," the main character is...

I just got back from my second viewing of "Mulholland Drive." A confession: David Lynch is one of my heroes. "Blue Velvet" is my favorite movie of all time. I don't just watch his stuff, I consume it, and there has never, ever been a time when I felt bad after seeing something he made. I...

Tony, I agree with everything you say except the part about the lamp, and the fantasy that Diane and Camilla are lovers. It was a piano ashtray, not a lamp, that the woman from Bungalow #12 took from Diane's coffee table. Later on when Diane and Camilla are half-naked on the couch, the...

Thi, you can say you thought the first half was a dream, but don't say that it WAS a dream. There's more than one interpretation. I for one can't believe that someone like David Lynch would be that hackneyed -- that he'd pass off 100 minutes of film as nothing but one character's daydream. I...

I'm finding it necessary to keep all my different Police Storys, because they're all so different. The "Police Force" VHS tape includes courtroom scenes that aren't in the Tai Seng subtitled version, which is LONGER because it includes the telephone juggling scene the "Police Force" version...

I can't wait for these movies....I've got the fansubbed End of Evangelion and it's just a great movie. Though I do love the series ending, this is one heck of a substitute!

For me, the jig was up as soon as I saw the company name: ANIME CARTOONS INTERNATIONAL. No legit anime company would call their product CARTOONS. :)

I've seen this lots of times too, Patrick, and never saw that scene either.

Nice review, Matt. I've got the 3-disc and my only complaint is that the music in the opening sequence is somewhat muted compared to every other version I've seen. I'm used to hearing the music LOUD over the entire opening. On this disc it fades out when Jessica's in the cab, and then it...
