   Hilarious-ness!  Love everything that man does, from his crazy furniture to his conferences on metaphysics to, of course, his films.  Nice find.

   I heart Mr. Lynch.  Preach it.

    Hmm, sure viewing a film on a phone or any pocket media player isn’t going to equal a theater - but then again everyone knows that. When I watch things on my Creative Zen I don’t expect a cinematic experience, heck I don’t even expect a TV experience, or even my 15” laptop experience (my main viewing device, not by choice but by what I happen to have and what I can afford) and come to think of it I don’t think many people do. Viewing something on a 2-4” screen is, for me, about killing time on a commute, be it a bus or an airport, not about having a fantastic cinematic moment.

    A theater is always the best way. But I don’t hear Mr. Lynch calling out for people to abandon their TVs and DVD collections in the name of theatrical purity (maybe he has and I just haven’t heard about it...)

    I guess my question is… if an iPhone screen doesn’t cut it, what’s the cutoff? How small is too small in Mr. Lynch’s opinion?

    So sure, small screens aren’t the way to go, I wouldn’t want watch anything on one unless I’d already seen it or unless I could honestly care less about it other than entertainment value. So I agree with the sentiment that a dinky screen doesn’t make for ideal viewing, but honestly, did we need David Lynch and this little video to tell us that? To me this all smacks a bit of Captain Obvious…

    da main be speakin’ TRUTH! !!

    Sure it’s obvious.

    Looking around the world I find myself in, people are a bit dim, to be polite about it.  Obvious doesn’t cut it.  We need it explicitly spelled out for us.  And by “we”, I mean “most people, present company excluded”.  Forward it to twenty dim-witted acquaintances.

    I don’t know who is that guy, but he is right. I don’t watch movies neither on phones, nor on other pocket media players. I also don’t like to watch movies on laptop, computer. Even home theater is not the same as the original one.

    did vladimir just blow my mind into a million tiny pieces?

    That’s the single best thing I’ve seen so far in 2008, and I’m not some crazy Lynch devotee who thinks the sun shines out his *beep*, so spot on with that comment though. I think it shows an integrity to his art that he’s sat telling people its not the way to view movies, than being given bucket loads by apple to tell people it’s OK to watch films on stamp sized screens.
