David Lynch Swerves: Uncertainty From Lost Highway to Inland Empire. Beginning with Lost Highway , director David Lynch 'swerved' in a new direction, one in which very disorienting images of the physical world take center stage in his films. Seeking to understand this unusual emphasis in his work, noted Lynch scholar Martha Nochimson engaged Lynch in a long conversation of unprecedented openness, during which he shared his vision of the physical world as an uncertain place that masks important universal realities. He described how he derives this vision from the Holy Vedas of the Hindu religion, as well as from his layman�s fascination with modern physics. With this deep insight, Nochimson forges a startlingly original template for analyzing Lynch's later films - the seemingly unlikely combination of the spiritual landscape envisioned in the Holy Vedas and the material landscape evoked by quantum mechanics and relativity. In David Lynch Swerves , Nochimson navigates the complexities of Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive, and Inland Empire with uncanny skill, shedding light on the beauty of their organic compositions; their thematic critiques of the immense dangers of modern materialism; and their hopeful conceptions of human potential. She concludes with excerpts from the wide-ranging interview in which Lynch discussed his vision with her, as well as an interview with Columbia University physicist David Albert, who was one of Nochimson's principal tutors in the discipline of quantum physics. "Taken as a whole, the MS is nothing less than a revelation of a new David Lynch. I want to say the true David Lynch, so convincing are the book's claims, so well-substantiated and explained. I've studies all these films obsessively over the past ten years. But I never saw the profound meanings the MS so powerfully discloses. The focus on the physics of Lynch is a true paradigm, shift. Nothing will ever the the same in Lynch studies again." -- Eric G. Wilson, author of The Strange World of David Lynch: Transcendental Irony from Eraserhead to Mulholland Dr. (Continuum, 2007) David Lynch Swerves. In this paradigm-shifting book, the author of The Passion of David Lynch draws on insights into the filmmaker’s creative sources that he has never revealed before to forge a startlingly original template for analyzing Lynch’s recent films.

A Summary: Living Large Among the Particles Appendices: In Their Own Words I: Fragments from My March 18, 2010 Interview with David Lynch II: Excerpts from My Interviews with Professor David Z. Albert. Martha P. Nochimson has had a distinguished academic career, teaching at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and serving at Mercy College as the creator and first Chair of the film program. She is the author of five previous books, including The Passion of David Lynch: Wild at Heart in Hollywood . “The richness of Nochimson’s writing, the thoroughness of her interpretation, and her assured stance in opposition to the canon of Lynch criticism to date all make David Lynch Swerves a must-read for anyone interested in the films of David Lynch. Or, for that matter, the state of film criticism in American culture. If criticism at its best is a form of revelation, then this is practically a new gospel.” House of SpeakEasy. “[ David Lynch Swerves ] keenly observed a radical shift in Lynch's style, one which began to incorporate quantum physics and Vedic philosophy into the very narrative fabric of his work.” 25 Years Later. “To grant Lynch agency and study him as Nochimson does—through his lens—is not to indulge in sloppy hagiography, but to know something of his remarkable vantage point on the mysteries of existence. Nochimson is stretching herself beyond film studies into a realm where few film studies academics have dared to go. She is up front about the excitement and dangers of this approach, but she also makes an outstanding case that—with Lynch—such stretching beyond every conceivable boundary (be it academic or ontological!) is essential. This book will likely be the standard for studying Lynch’s later films.” Joseph Kickasola, Associate Professor of Communication Studies, Baylor University, author of The Films of Krzysztof Kieslowski: The Liminal Image. “Taken as a whole, this book is nothing less than a revelation of a new David Lynch. I want to say the true David Lynch, so convincing are the book’s claims, so well-substantiated and explained. I’ve studied all these films obsessively over the past ten years and have written extensively about two of them. But I never saw the profound meanings the book so powerfully discloses. The focus on the physics of Lynch is a true paradigm shift in our understanding of the director. Nothing will ever be the same in Lynch studies again.” Eric G. Wilson, Professor of English, Wake Forest University, author of The Strange World of David Lynch: Transcendental Irony from Eraserhead to Mulholland Dr. This book may also be available on the following library platforms; check with your local library: Ebsco Proquest Overdrive 3M Cloud Library/bibliotheca UPCC/Project Muse JSTOR. Don't call "Twin Peaks" a "cult classic" Now that David Lynch's legendary series will be revived, a reflection on the real cultural legacy of the show. By Martha P. Nochimson. Published October 13, 2014 10:57PM (EDT) Shares. The first time I spoke with David Lynch was on a twenty-minute phone call in 1990. During the entire call, in which we discussed complicated aesthetic matters about “Twin Peaks” for an article I was writing for Film Quarterly, he spoke with the voice of Gordon Cole, the character he played in the series. Weird? Not the way I see it. As a first impression, I was struck by Lynch's imagination, his playfulness, and his ability to make the invisible visible in language--the essence of all good poetry. Twenty-four years and many visits with him in Los Angeles and New York later, my first impression hasn’t changed. Over the years, he has transformed movies and television by force of his sheer inability to do anything but stay true to his particular sensibility, despite pressures from the industry to work to formula and churn out sausage. From 1977 to 2014, he’s made only nine feature films, a case of less being more—his first being “Eraserhead” (1977) and his most recent “Inland Empire” (2006)--ten if you count the filmed version of his stage production, “Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Brokenhearted” (1990). He's made even less television: the TV mini-series “Hotel Room” (1993); and the short-lived series, also co-created with Mark Frost, “On The Air” (1992). And of course--“Twin Peaks,” (1990-1991), the beautiful and revolutionary series he co-created with Mark Frost. And now he has just announced that he is working with Frost on nine new episodes of “Twin Peaks.” I have no doubt that this will be the most original return of a series in the history of American broadcasting. Yet already the show is being referred to as the reprise of a cult favorite. Lynch himself doesn't like the word “cult,” and for good reason. It sounds like something you might find in a dark closet, or that three people do in secret.

Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

  • Notes from the Upside Down an Unofficial Guide to Stranger Things
    NOTES FROM THE UPSIDE DOWN AN UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO STRANGER THINGS GUY ADAMS APPENDIX 1 HARDLY STRANGERS ho were all those people? We spent so long with them I think it’s time we found out. In W alphabetical order (see, it’s not just because I’m obsessed with Karen Wheeler), a rundown of the main cast of the show: CARA BUONO—Karen Wheeler Buono is a New Yorker of Italian descent. An actor, writer, and director, well known for her roles in both The Sopranos and Mad Men. Genre credits include: yet another mother not entirely aware of quite what horrors her son is brushing up against in Let Me In (2010), the English-language remake of the masterful Swedish novel and movie Let the Right One In; a recurring role in the TV adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dead Zone, as Anna Turner (2008); Bruce Banner’s mom, Edith, when he looked like Eric Bana rather than Mark Ruffalo in Ang Lee’s ill-received (but what do they know?) Hulk (2003); and—terribly obscure one, this—a bored housewife who ends up assisting aliens (and fixing her love life) in Barry Strugatz’s well-meaning but flawed sci-fi comedy From Other Worlds (2004). MILLIE BOBBY BROWN—Eleven Born in Marbella, Spain, to English parents, Brown moved to the UK at the age of four, living in Bournemouth. Her family emigrated again when she was eight, this time to Florida to launch a tooth-whitening business. Brown signed up for a weekend acting school and was picked up by an agent who saw her perform.

  • Philosophy of David Lynch the Philosophy of Popular Culture
    Th e Philosophy of David Lynch The Philosophy of Popular Culture Th e books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will illuminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popular culture. Th e goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the intersection of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. Th is series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and examine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

  • Nostalgia, Frustration and the Shifting Orders of Fandom in Twin Peaks: the Return
    . Volume 15, Issue 2 November 2018 Peak fandom: Nostalgia, frustration and the shifting orders of fandom in Twin Peaks: The Return Jason Bainbridge, University of South Australia, Australia Abstract: On October 6, 2014, Showtime announced the return of Twin Peaks in the form of a miniseries by original creators David Lynch and Mark Frost that would be a continuation of the well-remembered 1990s series. After a few false starts (setting up a series of flows and delays that would come to characterise TP:TR’s narrative as well), TP:TR debuted on May 21, 2017 with an eighteen-episode run. While Peaks has maintained its fans over the years (including a growing body of academic literature) it has been both derided and praised by television critics and the broader viewing public in equal measure. It was therefore seen as something of a risky investment by Showtime. Coming at a time when television revivals are becoming a fixture on streaming services, this presentation explores how TP:TR addresses its shifting orders of fandom, engages with and frustrates moments of fan service and simultaneously indulges in moments of nostalgia while broadening its scope and reach. As such it offers an analysis of how fan audiences will factor into the future of streaming services and how success is now understood. Keywords: Twin Peaks; nostalgia; fandom; audiences; fan service. Introduction1 On October 6, 2014, Showtime announced the return of Twin Peaks (hereinafter Peaks) in the form of a miniseries by original creators David Lynch and Mark Frost entitled Twin Peaks: The Return (hereinafter Return).

Un film basat en la història verídica d’Alvin Straight, un home de setanta-tres anys que va recórrer 350 milles amb un tallagespa amb l’objectiu de visitar el seu germà moribund, a qui no veia des de feia deu anys. Tot i que l’aparició de Harry Dean Stanton a The Straight Story és limita a una escena final, hem escollit aquest film per homenatjar-lo ja que considerem que defineix perfectament els trets bàsics de l’actor. Cineclub AC BIOGRAFIA Harry Dean Stanton (West Irvine, Kentucky, 1926 - Los Ángeles, California, 2017). (...) La mirada melancòlica i la cara de- macrada de Stanton formen part de grans films com París, Texas (1984), escrita per Shepard i dirigida per Wim Wenders, i Repo Man (El recuperador, 1984) d’Alex Cox. “Finalment he interpretat el paper que volia. Encara que no torni a fer cap més pel·lícula estaré content”, va dir l’actor després de posar-se en la pell de Travis Henderson al film de Wenders. Però París, Texas, que va guanyar la Palma d’Or al Festival de Cinema de Canes, no li va donar papers protagonistes.
