No problem crabalocker! By the way, I discovered that non-members can phone from 11:30 this morning - i.e. in about half an hour! Number to call is 0207 928 3232.

Good luck - hope to see some fellow Gazetteers there!

They are sold out, I want to cry

Oh well, will wait for the next showing, perhaps meet for that one as well?

Those of you who did get tickets, well done + say hello to DL for me!

This is the poster they made for Inland Empire's italian theatrical release in February:

The writing under the title is the Italian adapted title and it means "the inner empire"...

And here is the italian trailer:

The last line said by Zabriskie is translated as "Is there a murder in this film?"

The best trailer I have seen Silencio. It actually perked some interest for me, a Lynch fan. It showed chicks, monsters, weirdness, ,,and music. The DV quality didn't seem a real problem here. So much better than other bits and pieces I have seen to date. I hope this shows up at a nice independent house in my area that gets most independent, offbeat movies.

Comment: Lynch is calling film "dead" these days. I guess that is the freedom, and less cost and simplicity DV provides. He used to eschew DV even for minor effects, and praise the texture and beauty of film. DV , like technologies in general, improve. THat has to be part of this 180 in L's opinions.  So, I now look forward to check this experimental one out. 

one suave folk, "a woman in trouble" is the tag line.

 They put Jeremy Irons' name after Dern's because Justin Theroux is absolutely unknown here in Italy. It's clearly a commercial attempt of luring the audience to see the film

Just caught this interview on Live Journal.  IFP's Filmmaker Magazine talks with Absurda's Eric Bassert about marketing the movie, etc; good article!

EDIT: I really liked the movie. And we got a bonus - Chris Isaak played before and after the film. He even had Dave get up and play the shaker on the last song. Chris said in the middle of it, "I made a movie with David, and I had to do everything he told me to do, but now he is in MY power!"

Had a nice visit with David afterward. He is totally through with film as a medium. In the Q&A he talked about how 'heavy' working in film is - how slow and expensive it is.

 How would you like to come back to my tardis and take a look at my time vortex?   

Hi John

I have still not seen the movie yet . I know of Axxon N , but are "Heiress" and "A Meeting Upstairs" two new projects that David was/is working on ?

I see on IMDB there's a new V (video) project called Boat. But they don't say anything else about it.

"Did they scoff the whole damn Smörgåsbord?" (Audrey) 

"Gimme a donut!" (Coop)

Boat was a small film David created for his website and was released there ages ago, although I don't think it is now available  to watch on his website.

"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love." 

That god damn trailer's more popular than Uncle's Day in a whorehouse!

Rachel,

      I wont stone you either because Deanne and I walked away disappointed as well. We were hoping it was an extension of MD or BV. Instead we got a 3 hour acid trip. (A three hour tour). I do however agree with Chris that you have to watch it 2 or 3 times in order to really enjoy it. Its going to be interesting to hear what others have to say in future postings. I think I'll wait for the DVD this summer.
