I'm not Lynch's strongest soldier by any means, but if you think his films are "cringe and dumb" you either don't care about art or are just being a contrarian for the sake of it, which I suppose is the same thing. Regarding the "merit" of his films, Blue Velvet is very good. If you think that it's "pretentious" then I don't know what to say. Besides asking: pretensions of what?

However, there's something more important than me defending the late David Lynch's honour. It's that you start thinking about film and culture more deeply. Even if you don't like his films it's vital that you learn to criticise them without falling back on odious slogans like "film class midwits" and "art house slop".

David Lynch's movies are not pretentious in the slightest.

Try playing a David Lynch movie at a party or family gathering

i'm not the biggest lynch head either but some of his work is undeniable, and if someone can't see that it's probably because they can't tolerate anything abnormal in art. twin peaks is fantastic and i like mulholland drive a lot too. if you think he's too weird try the straight story, it's the most normal thing he's done

that's such a bullshit argument for a movie being pretentious or not lmfao

Yeah but first half of Twin Peaks is great and Dougie was hilarious

Dune was cringe and dumb, I'd rather go to the dentist than watch Lynch

>>36377 twin peaks was okay but it became a slog halfway through. it was so slow-paced at the start of the second season and I could't even finish it. the first season was much more focused and cohesive, and the mystery was well-made, and the second one felt like it was just weird for the sake of weirdness, it was all over the place, very disorganized, and you can tell the writers gave up on making a good story and they just wanted to make money. also watching david lynch is the same as wearing gucci, youre just paying for the brand atp. the quality is just bad

i kinda agree, his Dune adaptation was hot garbage and his standard most of what he makes is just the same brand of weird over and over, but i really liked The Elephant Man.

Twin Peaks S1 was good
