 | MOVIE #1,434 • 🍿🍿🍿🍿 • 03.12.24 So I came across this short doc on YouTube looking for the actual DumbLand episodes and it's pretty bad. The decision to pepper this conversation with all the weird shit (like the little girl actress dressed like a man on the phone?) just doesn't work at all. And seeing this after viewing the 8 episodes of DumbLand, which was itself an assault on the senses, was kind of painful. I was really interested in seeing how this incredibly strange show got made (Lynch does all the voices and animation on Flash). And you could just show that/talk about that. The audience doesn't want more experimental weirdness on top of that experience. Because, let's be honest, this young German girl (or is she Polish?) means well, but she isn't David Lynch. This is essentially one phone conversation filmed on both ends. Lynch has a couple of interesting things to say about the process… when they're not getting lost in this edit. Watch when she makes him answer a really dumb question about an octopus… |
Lynch to his credit is pretty patient and generous. But by far the most fascinating thing was the hellish disorganization of Lynch's computer desktops…
My god. I don’t wanna be too hard on this because it’s clearly the product of a loving fan, but it doesn’t really enhance the DumbLand experience imo.
