The Movies of David Lynch

Author: Russell Shortt

David Lynch is something of an all-rounder - director, screenwriter, producer, painter, cartoonist, composer, video and performance artist. He started out as a painter, enrolling in the Pennsylvanian Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia when he was nineteen. Interestingly, one of is first works combined visual arts with cinema in his Six Figures Getting Sick (1966), where he projected a looped animation onto one of his sculptures. It was off the back of this that he secured funding to make his first two short films - The Alphabet (1968) and The Grandmother (1970). These two works met with great critical success. After which he moved to Los Angeles, spending the next six years making his first feature Eraserhead (1976). Eraserhead polarised and baffled critics but it went on to become a cult classic, after seeing the film Mel Brooks hired Lynch to direct The Elephant Man (1980) and George Lucas requested him to direct Return of the Jedi but Lynch declined the latter stating that it would become more his own vision than that of Lucas’. The Elephant Man, a biopic of the deformed Victorian era figure John Merrick, was a huge commercial and critical success, been nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. So the dark and unconventional independent director had astonishingly become the darling of Hollywood, would he be corrupted? Thwarted of his great vision? No fear, his second Hollywood feature would also be his last Hollywood feature. Dune (1984), an adaptation of the Frank Herbert cult science-fiction novel, was a commercial and critical disaster, though in fairness to Lynch he was denied the final cut and it was ultimately the studio’s film. And there was a silver lining, part of the deal Lynch made with producer Dino De Laurentiis when making Dune was that the producer would finance Lynch’s next feature.

Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity   by David Lynch David Lynch's new book, "Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity" is creative, charming, brief and playful. Written in small passages that flow, despite uniquely defined ideas, and seem to jump right off the page and dance and twinkle in your mind as you continually turn the pages, Lynch takes the reader through a deeply contemplative--though subtle in description--journey into 'that which all things emerge.'

Mulholland Drive

Author: susanandrews

Los Angeles is home to many well-known neighborhoods – Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, to name a few. While all of these areas have their own appealing characteristics, one particular neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills also has a wealth of pop culture notoriety that belies its quiet and private nature.

The Mulholland Drive section of the Hollywood Hills has been immortalized in an Oscar-nominated 2001 David Lynch film (as well as in songs by Tom Petty, Eddy Money and REM), but far before the movie’s release, real estate in this part of the city has been widely recognized for offering incredible, sweeping views of the city both during the day and at night. Running for more than 20 picturesque miles along Hollywood and the Santa Monica Mountains, it divides the Valley from Los Angeles and reaches peaks of 1,400 feet. There are a number of points along the route to stop and take in the view, including parks where you can sit outside and enjoy a picnic. However, for those unfamiliar with this drive, you should proceed with caution, as the mostly two-lane roads can be extremely windy with sharp curves in certain areas. In contrast, for those who enjoy taking these types of winding drives and testing their car’s handling system, it can be a dream route.

While this area provides many great opportunities to take in nature, it is also a residential neighborhood with many beautiful, impressive homes. However, most residents move to this area in large part for the unmatched, panoramic views and the privacy (appealing to the many celebrities who own homes along Mulholland drive) With quite a few of the homes away from the main roads and hidden from plain view, you can enjoy living in this neighborhood without encountering a lot of high-traffic areas. For anyone seeking to own real estate in an area that is quiet and private, Mulholland Drive provides an excellent option that can be difficult to find in other highly sought-after areas of Los Angeles. It is one of the few areas that offers access to the mountains, beaches and city without the hustle and bustle of a crowded area.

Despite the fact that you may never see any famous people while traveling along the incredible Mulholland Drive route, it remains to be extremely popular with tourists who are looking to capture a bit of the Hollywood Hills magic. It is a rare location with a wealth of history and notoriety that is open to the public and available for all to enjoy. And for those who buy a home in this area of the Hills, it offers an incomparable living experience.
