Maybe, but I think Mr. Lynch's insistence of not including scene selection on his DVD's because he doesn't want his work viewed out of order is F*%@^%@ B*(( S#^& as well. Absolute crap. I rented Mulholland Drive - which I was totally loving - until encountering a scratch on the DVD, which prevented me from skipping to the next scene. I couldn't believe there was no scene select then read about DL not including. I still haven't seen how it ends, and he is forever on my list.

Abolutely love his movies though :D

PS just saw the Elephant Man again, have not seen since it came out. Wow. Amazing movie. Sure, it pretty manipulating, but oh so well done.

I didn't like Minority Report much but have to laugh a little that the one thing I recall most about the movie was this huge Aquafina billboard on the side of the car tunnel - lol - snapped me right out of the movie (not that I was in it that much). Beyond tacky imo.

That's bizarre about the scene selection thing - makes no sense?!?

But then neither did Yellow Man holding the lamp - one of my favorite DL scenes ever.

Mulholland Drive is by far my favorite of his movies to date. That one stuck with me forever. Brilliant. I'd definitely rent that one again.

I agree about the scene selection critique - especially given that most of his movies could probably have their scenes jumbled around without greatly altering the experience of viewing the movie. ;)

There's a longer video of the entire interview at/for AFI - he is definitely an odd duck. The explanation of what the impact the AFT has had on his career is so very David Lynch.

Of particular interest is to watch his hand as he talks. Tell me he doesn't remind you of someone you would see in one of his movies.

I think he is all of the people we see in his movies.

Maybe instead of zero scene selection, he should just make them put a selection point every 2 minutes...
