David Lynch: The Lesser Known Work

David Lynch fans, here you go. Below (and added to our YouTube playlist), we have Lynch’s anti-lit­ter­ing pub­lic ser­vice announce­ment that has a fair­ly high creepi­ness fac­tor. He’s actu­al­ly not new to the world of com­mer­cials. This site col­lects Lynch’s pre­vi­ous com­mer­cial work, start­ing with his 1988 series of Calvin Klein Obses­sion ads that played on the work of F. Scott Fitzger­ald, Ernest Hem­ing­way, and D.H. Lawrence. And, while we’re at it, let’s not for­get Lynch’s recent anti-iPhone spot, which is usu­al­ly good for a laugh.

The Best Place on the Web for Film Junkies

Some of you may know GreenCine as a high­brow video-rental com­pa­ny, one that serves as an alter­na­tive to Net­flix and Block­buster. But the best thing about Greencine is its blog, main­tained by David Hud­son and updat­ed sev­er­al times a day. A though­ful and unpre­ten­tious col­lec­tion of reviews, inter­views, fes­ti­vals and oth­er worth­while online film dis­cus­sions, refresh­ing­ly free of snark or inva­sive opin­ion­at­ing. Think of it as a very, very smart aggre­ga­tor. This par­tic­u­lar cineaste makes it her home­page.

Cracking Tarantino

“Taran­ti­no’s Mind,” an award win­ning short film from Brazil, decodes the fil­mog­ra­phy of Quentin Taran­ti­no, draw­ing con­nec­tions most Taran­ti­no fans might not have drawn them­selves. Act­ing in the film is Seu Jorge, a great Brazil­ian musi­cian (check this album out) who has gained recent fame in the US. The clip runs a good ten min­utes. The only down­sides are the small sub­ti­tles and lan­guage not suit­able for puri­tan­i­cal types. But we are in Taran­ti­no ter­ri­to­ry, so what could you real­ly expect? (The video below has been added to our YouTube Playlist.)
