Is the Lost Highway soundtrack the most shameless case of "how do you do, fellow kids" ever attempted by a film director?
>be David Lynch >briefly be on top of the world following the critical and commercial success of the first season of Twin Peaks >immediately flush all the good will you've earned with the general public down the toilet via Twin Peaks' atrocious second season, earning shit reviews and shit ratings >hammer more nails into your coffin via a Twin Peaks film nobody asked for, nobody wanted and nobody liked >at this point you are considered to be a flash-in-the-pan fraud by both the general viewing public and up-and-coming young directors such as Quentin Tarantino, who openly trash you in the press >it's 1995 and you decide you desperately need a comeback >instead of actually putting in the effort to make a worthwhile film, you just decide to desperately pander to suburban teenagers by giving Marilyn Manson and Henry Rollins pointless cameo roles in your film and putting The Smashing Pumpkins, Rammstein and Nine Inch Nails on its soundtrack
two good scenes surrounded by hours of dogshit inland empire did it better

LYNCHED the film is a masterpiece and your stupid post belongs on Sup Forums
How do you do, fellow critically minded patrician? Tarantino is the new Hitchcock, non?
Austin Miller
What's wrong with the second season? I loved it.
Jordan Adams
>rammstein >popular in 1997
pick one
Camden Turner
Rammstein is a 10/10 song
Also, this
Caleb Parker
This, FWWM is good.
I do agree that the soundtrack in Lost Highway is a bit too much, though. I'm Deranged is a great track, but other than that the soundtrack makes the movie feel really dated.
David Russell
Rammstein didn't get popular in the US until the 2000s but that didn't really matter for Lynch since Europe was always the biggest market for his films to begin with. In Europe, Rammstein got very big very quickly. By 1997, they were as big as any of the other young "alternative" bands on the Lost Highway soundtrack aside from maybe The Smashing Pumpkins, who were bigger. By 1998, they got so big in certain parts of Europe that the likes of Nine Inch Nails would have only made sense on the same bill as Rammstein if they were an opening act. They filled up stadiums.
ngl, rammstein's vocalist and guitarist are highly sexual to me in the least homo way possible
Sebastian Harris
fwwm is incredible tho
pls delete thread, too pleb
Wyatt Barnes
>a Twin Peaks film nobody asked for, nobody wanted and nobody liked
lol.
That film "nobody liked" is getting a Criterion release later this year. FWWM was one of his masterpieces.
And after all these years, Lynch is still as relevant as ever and made the best film of the last decade. Lynch is a genius, a god among men and there is no living director as talented as him.

lmao go say that to the average elitistic film school student and see how they react lynch is extremely entrylevel lynch is alright but don't get too carried away here
the criterion collection is a meme btw

This is honestly the dumbest thing I've read on Sup Forums.

Are you literally 16?
Benjamin Scott
>the criterion collection is a meme btw Yeah no, fuck that. I'm not too much of a lynch fan but criterion is fucking good. They are the only people who put fucking movie like L'avventura out in blu ray. Just bought the whole trilogy btw and It's a 10/10 restauration
Evan Clark
This. I'm pretty hyped to pick that one up. Lynch's second stage career films have created a brand of surrealism entirely his own. There are few filmmakers as original as him and he's always uad top teir soundtracks. Lost Highway's soundtrack plays into the grotesque and gritty themes and aesthetic of the film. The "trashyness" of the industrial/alt-rock songs pairs seamlessly with the grainy, soap opera affected image creating a complete aesthetic. Lynch is the GOAT and my biggest influence as a filmmaker.
Lincoln Hill
>Lynch is still as relevant as ever and made the best film of the last decade
he hasn't even made a film in the last decade
Elijah Nelson
>elitistic film school student why would any of use care what they think?
Connor Flores
nah it's true, lynch is considered very small fries by most film school stooges
t. is friends with many film school stooges
Dylan Fisher
Name me one working director more talented as David Lynch.
Nathaniel Nguyen
OP is in his 20s if not younger
Ryan Myers
> most film school stooges
But I don't care about their opinions. Lynch was going to quit film school. It was literally a waste of time to him and the school begged him to stay and let him do whatever he wanted.
Charles Edwards
Lav Diaz
Easton Jones
But it had one of The Smashing Pumpkin's best songs on that soundtrack
Jackson Powell
Didn't you read the OP?
Matthew Butler
the criterion collection is to left-field film what boomkat and the wire are to left-field music it's okay if you're a lazy dilettante and dabbler for serious boys, it's just a waste of money

t. a 16-year old who idolized christopher nolan two years ago and has nary a clue about film history/theory it's okay, you'll grow up sooner or later
because they're sweet boys and never meant to hurt anyone.
Michael Turner
Literally every single poster on Sup Forums is in his 20s if not younger. If you are not, you should kill yourself as soon as possible, you pathetic failure of a human being.
Jack White

(not to mention a fashion-conscious and primarily fashion-driven cocksucker)
Dylan Walker
Do you realize how much money you're wasting?
Angel Russell
Of course not. The OP was worthless. The best thing about the OP was it reminding me of Lost Highway and how brilliant that film was.
>waste of money
Yes the only people out there bothering to make 4k restorations of films for public release is a waste of money. But your input is so much more worthy.
Luke Lewis
Literal crap
