David Lynch recently appeared at the San Francisco Virgin Records to sign copies of his new film Inland Empire: A Women in Trouble. Patsy took the opportunity to score a privileged interview with the maverick director. Here it is in its entirety:
DAVID LYNCH ("DL"): Hi, how are you.
PATSY: Good. Can you sign it "To Shark and Patsy"?
DL: No, I'm sorry, sweatheart, I can't do that.
PATSY: Okay.

Wow, David Lynch sounds like a prick. You should have told him that he royally fucked up Dune.
Then again, I will always be thankful for Mulholland Drive. Mmmmm….Naomi Watts and Miss America….

Ah. I see. The secret to Bock ’s movie tastes:
titties - good
mimes - bad

I rather liked Dune. Not too faithful to the novel, but visually awesome…
The SciFi network’s versions were more faithful, but sort of dragged on. Most of the footage was shot on a soundstage rather than say in a desert which made it feel sort of weird.

I stopped watching the Sci-Fi version. Maybe it got better, I don’t know, but the production quality was pretty bad (IMHO).
Also, while it is not an absolute rule, nor does it summarize the entire criteria by which I judge movies, in general titties>mimes.

Litmus test:
What about Copolla’s best movie, The Conversation? Contains a mime street performer and no titties.
M. Bock // Aug 23, 2007 at 4:33 pm
Copolla’s [sic] best movie was not The Conversation, although that was a great movie. And you will note that the mime v. titties rubrick is not an “absolute rule”, as stated above.

I like it better because it makes a personal statement that is more interesting to me than the admittedly amazing story of The Godfather. Coppola’s five best moments:
5. The opening scene of Dracula (particularly the images of the Count fighting in the crusades).
4. TIE: The Saigon hotel scene(s) in Apocalypse Now AND the Burning Bridge scene in Apocalypse Now Redux
3. The baptism murders in The Godfather.
2. The flashback scene at the very end of The Godfather Part II.
1. When Jack graduates.
ha.
1. The ending of The Conversation where Harry Caul (Hackman) plays the sax after destroying his entire apartment without finding the bug that he is looking for. (Is it in the sax?)
Other candidates:
- showing Tom Cruise’s fucked-up natural teeth in The Outsiders
- giving birth to Sophia Coppola (not Roman though)
