If those works provide entertainment for the masses - well and good - I guess, but they should spare us the "moral inquiry" bit FFS!<br /> Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-51553488982799005062013-01-18T15:47:54.394-06:002013-01-18T15:47:54.394-06:00I think "Twin Peaks" was top notch enter...I think "Twin Peaks" was top notch entertainment.

I see Lynch's style as nothing but pretentious affectation. I just don't "get" him. Same applied to Ken Russell's films - couldn't watch one for more than 20 minutes or so.<br /><br />Fantasy, for me, has to include either time travel, space travel, dimension-hopping, telepathy, other worlds, even apocalypse, dystopia, utopia etc. Anything to take me out of THIS world which can be nasty enough as it is, without film directors shoving variations of it in our faces in guise of arty farty fiction.<br />Rant over.....<br />The 11th house emphasis might account for the Aquarius feel of Lynch's style, yes, good point!<br />:-)<br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-13120925667591502392013-01-18T12:27:30.729-06:002013-01-18T12:27:30.729-06:00Certain people you know may be coming up to birthd...Certain people you know may be coming up to birthdays in this weird time.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-58195770776039398712013-01-18T10:51:53.334-06:002013-01-18T10:51:53.334-06:00Ah, David Lynch...what a weirdo! I've always ...Ah, David Lynch...what a weirdo! I've always been attracted, yet repelled by his works...something connects in a subconscious way. I'm not a fan of observing violence, but Lynch typically does it non-obtrusively (seeing dead bodies, but not the actual murder). He has somewhat of an Alfred Hitchcock style of not showing the gore, only the suspense.<br /><br />He does have Neptune, along with Chiron and Jupiter, in the eleventh house (Aquarius' house) and Neptune oversees artistic photography and film. Moon at the midheaven would have his work persona and his "product" seen as the subconscious emotions, enhancing the sensitive, dreamy effect.mikenoreply@blogger.com
