More ATTP votes!
Owen
sometimes interesting! So, I'm starting four, yes, four votes for ATTP's top
stuff. I already did the top 100 movies, but I got some new ideas that will be
easier on me, and (hopefully) on you guys too. They are:
ATTP's Top Three Episodes of Twin Peaks:
Send me (ELEME...@aol.com) your four favorite episodes of Twin Peaks.
ATTP's Top Three David Lynch Movies:
Well, since we decided movies and are deciding TP episodes, why not do David
Lynch's movies? Send me your two favorite (only two) David Lynch movies. Your
choices are:
Eraserhead
The Elephant Man
Dune
Blue Velvet
Wild At Heart
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Lost Highway
I'm not counting Six Men Getting Sick, The Alphabet, The Grandmother, or the
Amputee, because a) they're all shorts b) they were never released in theaters
(as far as I know) and c) I doubt most of the people here have seen any of
them.
ATTP's Top Five Actors:
Send me your TEN choices for best actors of all times. They can be anyone, in
Twin Peaks or not. Any actor will do! If you think I have probably not heard of
them, please include one movie they starred in, at least.
ATTP's Top Five Actresses:
Same as above, only for actresses.
Anyway, the voting on ALL categories ends August 3rd at 6:00 AM EST. So get to
voting!

That's great. Those are the "correct answers", hmmm? It's good to see that
someone is scoring us. Will there be an extra credit assignment as well?

Joshua was not responding to the question of which episodes or films were
his personal favourites, (only in the actor/actress section does Elementguy ask
for the "best") he was replying to the absurd notion that you were in any
position to determine, for the rest of us, what the "right answers" would be.
Maybe the Tailgating scene in Lost Highway (although a significant clue)
along with such bits as the "Toilet Seat" line, detract from the overall
greatness of the film.
Maybe the dearth of scenes with Cooper, Truman, Pete, Andy, etc., made Fire
Walk With Me an inherently less satisfying film. I love it, but knowing what
could have been detracts from its appeal considerably. Should the expectations
of the viewer be taken into account when judging the quality of a film?
Probably not, but when we all know how wonderful, above and beyond its present
state, it *should* have been, well, that's difficult to overlook. No film is an
island, and absolutely no film based on a television series is even an isthmus
whose lowlands are underwater most of the time. So, though the Cooper/Jeffries
scenes were, in my opinion, the *greatest* film scenes of all time, I will
still rank Elephant Man above Fire Walk With Me.
Maybe Elephant Man, more straightforward, lacks any such false notes,
making it more perfect, although less ambitious. I would be extremely hard
pressed to think of a scene in this film that makes me say "I could have done
without that". As a matter of fact, most scenes make me want to see more. The
immersion into that world of dark Victoriana Lynch created is total, whereas in
LH and FWWM there are numerous "wake up calls". Why *wouldn't* this film be
considered in the top three? (I've worked meself up into a bit of a
pro-Elephant Man frenzy, sorry)
Maybe, when it comes right down to it, we are all capable of making our own
decisions.
Although you were "pontificating", not even the most devout Catholic truly
believes that the Pope is infallible.
If you reply to this, I'd really much rather hear your opinions on why
Elephant Man doesn't make the top three, than how sodding stupid I am, thanks.

There is no right or wrong answer, which is what he was trying to point out to

I feel no need. In fact, I can't even say that I disagree with you. But your
arrogant tone and assumption that you know the "correct answers" to what are
and forever shall be matters of personal opinion, not matters of fact, has
long since started to grate on me.
> I realize that Owen's poll referred to both "best" and

Let's recap, shall we?
Quoting from Owen, the categories are:
>> ATTP's Top Three Episodes of Twin Peaks
>> ATTP's Top Three David Lynch Movies
You see this as being something other than a question of personal
preference?
Trichome, there is no objectively "true" criteria you can use to evaluate
the merits of abstract art. These are matters of personal taste. Majority
opinion may sway one way or the other, but what it comes down to is that a
piece of art is only good if the person viewing it chooses to think so.
Now let's requote you:
> >> One could have personal preferences otherwise,
> >> but those are essentially the correct answers. There
> >> isn't much room for disagreement, if you've seen and
> >> reasonably grasped each of Lynch's efforts
Here you go, laying down your opinion as fact and snidely putting down
anyone who might dare to feel differently. "There isn't much room for
disagreement." Please. Usenet is all about disagreement, Trichome. You of
all people should know that.
> "When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed."
Then please, by all means......

I've been around too long to be baited into one of your ego-trip flame wars.
Playing the intellectual bully only works on the weak-minded, and although
there are plenty who fit that description roaming throughout Usenet, I do
not count myself among them.

Peasant, you would wound me; but 'tis only a palpable hit.
Your characterizations shape my responses.
And I would rather play the Fool, and see you others all elevated
to royalty, through empowered self-representation.
Until then, I can call you "Pete"; and Pete when you call me, you can call
me "Fred" (or worse). As in a loop, I believe I may have descended from
you, many e-years ago; and though my goading may be unwelcome, I too
was inside my own shell once - COULD YOU DOUBT OTHERWISE ?

Why be sorry? This the first real position you've taken in this post.
I'M SORRY, but I have to think someone else made you apologize
for such an innocuous "frenzy". I won't take credit for tenderizing
your hide, because I haven't been a part of your life long enough to be
this much of an influence.
The Elephant Man is a very fine film.
I think The Staight Story will be quite similar, in revealing a certain side
of Lynch's viewpoint as a filmmaker which many fans resist, in part
because it seems too simple.
The Elephant Man is less like the others; perhaps it is a testimony to
certain of Lynch's skills, but not to all of them used in subsequent
creative projects entirely within his control.
I still intend, once I get a working TARDIS, to modify the timeline
to ensure that Lynch did direct Revenge of the Jedi. Then we
could compare EM to RoJ to Dune, to see the director emerge
within other people's projects.
On a (weak) technicality, I'm eliminating what most any other filmmaker
would weep to have created.
Oh, heck; make it the Top 4 Lynch films instead, and cheat the question.
> Maybe, when it comes right down to it, we are all capable of making our own

What a needless, ridiculous generalization !
Who is "We" ? And when was the last time you made A DECISION
of any significance? In the context of this group, "We are all
capable..."
of ignoring me, or arguing with me. That phrase could cover just about
anything. It's a TAUTOLOGY which is a great word, meaning
"A logical statement in which the conclusion is equivalent to the
premise."
> Although you were "pontificating", not even the most devout Catholic truly

Any Catholics care to explain doctrine to Rawhead Rex?
A) You're quite staggeringly wrong about your literal statement.
B) This is wholly irrelevant, as I have never claimed to be infallible;
pushy and annoying, yes.

Stubborn; stumbling, I might have thought; but I don't recall calling
you "stupid".
And with my ambiguous implications, plus your inferences, I might never
be able to discern exactly which insults colored you as "stupid".

The tailgating scene was, I felt, forced. I didn't believe Mr. Eddy's rage
in a believable way. The menace which he was able to exude merely by snapping
his fingers earlier lost some of its power with that cartoony pistol whipping.
I'm not afraid of over the top actors. The scene called for an over the top
performance. =Bad Scene.
The "toilet seat" line was just one example of moments where Lynch forcibly
dragged me out of his world and reminded me that I was sitting in a theatre. It
was a cheap laugh. Especially cheap in view of the fact that the pair of cops
were so cleverly captured in the "who's job...his or ours?" line.
If a line is not present to advance the plot, or help the viewer understand
the action onscreen, if it is simply there for a bit of "toilet humour", it
rings false.
How many sour notes does it take to detract from the composition as a whole?
I don't know, but Elephant Man, to me, has no such notes.

That comment means nothing. Aside from any scene involving Cooper, or the

It was a figure of speech. It *was* an insincere apology, unlike others I
have given in hopes of mending relations with somebody that I considered a
friend.

*This* is your problem. You believe that everything can be read with a
narrow, literal mind. It was whimsical. It was humourous. Meant to induce a
chuckle.
The Pope is the supreme Pontiff. The word "pontificating" finds its origin
in said word. Catholic doctrine states that the Pope is infallible. You act as
if *you* were infallible, handing down Papal Bulls. Not even the most devout
Catholic (I repeat) *truly* believes that the Pope is infallible. If you
believe that they believe (he said, confusingly) well, I don't know which is
sadder.

Why do you insist on equating "Trichome disagreeing with you" with "Trichome

That's even more false than all the discrodant harmonies in any of Lynch's
films.
And by the way I liked the tailgaiting sequence. I wouldn't say it made the
movie, though, in the same way that I wouldn't say Battleship Potemkin was
the best film ever made even though it contains what I consider to be one of
the best sequences ever.

You know, maybe I need to see Wild at Heart for a fifth time to be
sure, but the story just didn't cohere for me as it does for me with
Blue Velvet or Eraserhead, even those are very different kinds of films.
Some films are more "cut from one cloth"; or maybe it's just that WaH
is a road movie, which means that everthing happens in sequential,
independent incidents along the way, plus flashbacks. I should
probably try harder to appreciate the film's narrative similarities to
The Wizard of Oz. The problem is, I've never liked that film one bit.
It feels all... pathological to me. But I think the narrative was a template
for thousands(?) of films that have followed, though only because
a heroic/epic/anti-heroic journey with a villain chasing behind
was an archetype that had yet to be invented (demonstrated?) in the
new era of sound and technical advances and more advanced story-
telling in Hollywood in the WWII era. So Oz makes the breakthrough;
I still find the movie demented - though I enjoyed the L. Frank Baum
original series much more when I read them around age ten.
Like Citizen Kane, if you see my parallel to previous discussions
here about innovations in filmic narrative and camera/set design
conceptions.

Okay, then what would the first and second runners up be?
I'm afraid radio serials haven't run around here much in decades,
so I've no frame of reference. And Comedy is notoriously
hard to compare objectively; but narrowing it down, we're talking
serial comedy series, and not sketch comedy. Comedy comedy,
and not comedy-drama hybrids. I'd challenge HHGttG with
Fawlty Towers. I think that the episodes are consistent and
comedically devastating. How many people can think of
another experience in comedy as painfully funny as The Germans
episode of Fawtly Towers? Maybe it's late and I'm forgetting
other contenders, but that's my benchmark for the moment.
Novels - I do not know the first thing about 'em. But that
seems the most overly broad generalization of the bunch.
I myself was a great fan, and gave an oral book report in
10th grade on SLATFATF. One of my favorite numbers is 42,
'cause after all it's the product of both 6 X 9, and also lucky
seven times the cynical, uncompromising Prisoner No. 6.

There you go being so annoyingly correct again...
Speaking of Cleese though, there's also the Dead Parrot sketch, the Ministry of Silly
Walks sketch and the French Taunter in 'Holy Grail', and back to Fawlty Towers, there's
the scene where he attempts to beat his car to death with a tree branch.

Nah... WAH keeps fighting with Dune for the position of my LEAST favorite Lynch movie.
Eraserhead remains the purest and most powerful of all his features... late at night, with
the volume turned right up, it can't be beaten.
Owen
best David Lynch movies actually voted...
Laurence Andrews
> Novels - I do not know the first thing about 'em. But that
>seems the most overly broad generalization of the bunch.
You're absolutely right about that. I should have narrowed down the category
somewhat; with hindsight I can think of dozens of novels that are better
than the HHGTTG series, although few that I've read supercede its humour.
Laurie.
Laurence Andrews
did so, as you suggest, late at night and with the volume fairly high. I
suppose you're right in a sense about it being the purest of Lynch's films,
and I certainly concede that it contains one of the best soundtracks; the
industrial noise, eerie repetitive, overwhelming, almost nauseating.
I must point out that I had seen several Lynch films before viewing
Eraserhead for the first time. I was therefore perhaps slightly disappointed
as I had heard so much talk about the film and in particular about its
"unwatchable" climax. I think there are other Lynch sequences that I
consider to be more unwatchable, and, although I'll need to browse through
my collection again before I elaborate on this subject, I sense that said
sequences may take place in Lost Highway and Blue Velvet.
Unfamiliar as I am with the "L. Frank Baum original series" I shall reserve
judgment on that topic, as I fasten my investigative shoes and do some
research in the field.
I recognise that Wild At Heart was not a groundbreaking movie; but then in
many ways Titanic was, and while I appreciate its [Titanic's] degree of
technical excellence I would not choose to subject myself to the experience
of watching it again. The thing about Wild At Heart was that it just
satisfied me more than Eraserhead did. Perhaps this can be explained by the
simple fact that my expectations were higher for Eraserhead than they were
for Wild At Heart.
For the record, my (entirely subjective) top 3 Lynch films would probably be
as follows:
1. Lost Highway
2. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
3. Blue Velvet

I think it's mainly the movie's detractors that consider the climax unwatchable. The only
problem I've ever had with it is forgetting to breathe...
