Lynch talks “Empire”
MTV.Com has an interview with David Lynch in which the writer-director discusses the recent DVD release of his ultra-weird indie-flick INLAND EMPIRE. Unlike most previous home video releases of the enigmatic director’s films, this one is filled with extras that reveal behind-the-scenes secrets. Lynch explains:

Laserblast: Inland Empire, Fracture, Vacancy
Unlike last week, which was thin on science-fiction, fantasy, and horror film DVD releases, today sees a veritable deluge. Only a handful are new titles; most are anniversary versions, collector’s editions, and/or box sets repackaging two or three previously available titles.

Interview: Robert Blake, Mystery Man of the “Lost Highway”
Making Your Blood Run Cold, Again.
Robert Blake has made a career out of playing realistic, believable characters, whom audiences can as regular, ordinary people – whether a poor young boy in THE TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE or a streetwise cop BARETTA. In fact, in his most famous (and chilling) feature film performance, he portrayed a real [...]
Interview: Barry Gifford Deciphers David Lynch’s Labyrinthine “Lost Highway”
David Lynch has often been quoted describing ERASERHEAD as “a dream of dark and troubling things.” Since that 1978 debut, he has gone on to adapt his dream-like sensibility to far more accessible narrative structures. No matter how arresting the imagery is in The Elephant Man and Dune, and no matter how weird things get in [...]
