ANyone else as excited as I am over this release? It comes out tomorrow. My only copy of the Industrial Symphony is a now-dead VHS. The extras look nice..

It would be better if it had weird packaging.

if i didn't already have everything except the Industrial Symphony No. 1, i'd be all over this....

This is a must buy. I'll wait for a discount coupon from deep discount before I buy it though. Last week this woulda been 25% off if it wasn't a presale.

For myself, I only have 3 of the 10 discs included here (Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, and Eraserhead) so I'm psyched about the other stuff.. I've rented Dumbland, Elephant man, and the Short Films DVD, so it'll be good to take ownership of them. I'm hoping the picture book doesn't disappoint.

Do you have to sign up with DD to get discount coupons?

Big fan of David Lynch, esp "Eraserhead" & "Twin Peaks".

"Wild At Heart" is a great movie too.
Wonder why he didn't just make a Directors Cut
instead of putting all those bits on another disc?
Maybe he already did? (Lol, what do I know!)
Or maybe these extra/extended scenes don't really fit into the movie as a whole?

Also, wonder why no "Mulholland Drive" in this set?

Lynch released a hardcover book a long while back of a ton of his photography. weird book! the first half was a bunch of recognizably lynchian surrealistic imagery, but the second half was just page after page of pictures of snowmen in random front yards....

My favorite thing Lynch ever did.

The best thing Lynch ever did:

Good question. It's one of his masterpieces.

I don't have the remastered version of Eraserhead but I've seen it ... the level of detail in it surpasses any prior release, so I'll pick this up for that and the "mystery disc."

If you haven't seen "the early films," do. The man was a brilliant animator before Eraserhead.

Mulholland Drive was his only film (i think) done with Universal. Maybe that has something to do with it.

also, has anyone seen Inland Empire yet?

Yes. As I understand Lynch had more creative freedom on that than any other of his "major" films. It's dense and meandering, not as cohesive as Mulholland, but I liked it for a few very strong scenes and Laura Dern's excellent acting. However there are die-hard Lynch fans who feel it's "too indulgent" and "a mess." I think it takes more than one viewing to really "get," although I've only viewed it all the way through once. If you liked "Mulholland" and "Lost Highway" it's definitely worth seeing.

Love the creepy/funny scene towards the beginning with Laura Dern's "neighbor."

It seems to me there must be a second similar box set with the 'rest' of David's career waiting in the wings. No parts of Twin Peaks Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr. or Inland Empire are represented here. At least I hope this is the case. Neither Lost Highway or Mulholland drive DVDs have any supplemental material (hell, Mulholland didn't even have chapters!)...and to me the Inland Empire DVD could use a re-release as cramming a 3 hour movie onto one disc was a major blunder, IMHO. The sound and video quality are both awful.

Have coffee. It is great, but the really captivating moments are spread about, and a few hours in the lack of structure to the narrative weighs one's attention down. The climax kills for sure though. I know a guy who has watched it many times while journaling to get some idea of what is really going on. I would imagine it would benefit from repeat viewings, but it will take some time before I would be ready to watch it again.

I'm a big Lynch fan. I memorized the Cowboy scene in Mulholland Drive. I know he wasn't fond of Dune, but I felt he did an incredible job with this difficult movie. I've seen them all and I think Wild at Heart is my favorite.

Will he include chapter markers in this set or is it video on DVD like Mulholland Drive?

I think my fav. thing by Lynch is his quinoa recipe video on the IE dvd.

Funny. Last year I made a 'gift basket' for a friend with a metal pot, quinoa, liquid aminos, and some of that David Lynch signature coffee. It was a big hit.

great idea! But wait a sec, he calls it a pan in that video. I was thinking to myself...that definitely looks like a pot!
You should have also included "an inch of water".

July 29th... It's coming!

Umm, what is Oli, another issue of this set?

I hadn't actually heard of this before, so thank you for reviving it. It took me a while to realise this was such a long dead discussion (but that explains the posting members ).

^^ looks like a twin peaks complete series blu ray

This. With 90 minutes worth of deleted scenes!

I hope it's not 90 extra minutes of James.
