 It's not just you.  But I undestand he is a true artist and marches to the beat of a different drum.

 HM: Can you tell us anything about what’s on the mystery disc?

Lynch: I can. Screeners are going out so people are going to know. But it’s got some very important things in my book. One of the things it has is 32 scenes never seen before from Wild at Heart. Partial scenes, extended scenes and complete scenes from a work print that was found, so it’s funky quality, but all of them have been edited as much as I could edit them with what was available and all of them have been mixed. 

 

Great. All the crud that wasn't good enough to go into my least favourite DL film is finally available. Where did I put my credit card?

I never bothered reading this script http://corky.net/scripts/wild.html but there were a lot of changes. I wonder how much of it was filmed, and what will be on the disc?  Can't wait!

If you are buying the Lime Green Set, are you going to sell the other items you already have that are on the box set as well?

A SECOND LOOK

Everything you wanted to know about David Lynch

The David Lynch Lime Green Set fits only four early feature films on its 10 DVDs -- but, oh, those extras.
By Dennis Lim

November 16, 2008

In recent years, David Lynch has become at once more accessible and harder to pin down. For one thing, he's not really a full-time filmmaker anymore. Upon the release of his last feature, "Inland Empire" (2006), a three-hour waking nightmare shot on consumer-grade video, he renounced celluloid for the democratic promise of digital.

A large-scale retrospective of his paintings and photographs in Paris last year reinforced his renaissance-man credentials. And he's emerged as a tireless proponent of transcendental meditation, touring college campuses and meeting with world leaders on behalf of the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace.

At the same time, this longtime master of the enigmatic has allowed himself to be demystified, albeit on his own terms. He recently took part in an intimate documentary, "Lynch (One)," and wrote a memoir-cum-self-help manual called "Catching the Big Fish."

At 61, Lynch still seems open to reinvention. There is also the impression, amid his myriad activities, of an elder statesman taking charge of his own legacy. His 2001 masterpiece "Mulholland Dr.," which he reshaped from an abandoned TV pilot, was the last straw in terms of playing the Hollywood game. But the painful experience appears to have honed his entrepreneurial instincts. How many other filmmakers have a paid-subscription website and a line of organic coffee?

Lynch has also dabbled increasingly in self-distribution -- a venture that reaches a kind of apotheosis with this week's release, on his own Absurda imprint, of the David Lynch Lime Green Set.

The retail price of $179.95 might seem steep for 10 discs, with only four feature films among them. But for Lynch cultists, it's the trove of supplemental esoterica -- in particular, one tantalizingly labeled "mystery disc" -- that will be the main attraction.

The features are drawn from the first half of the filmmaker's career, and all come in their most souped-up versions. "Eraserhead" (1977), his sui generis debut, is accompanied by a CD of its soundtrack, itself a seminal slice of ambient electronica. "The Elephant Man" (1980), his Oscar-nominated Victorian fable, gets a separate disc of extras (including a documentary on the real elephant man and interviews with Lynch and star John Hurt).

Also included: "Blue Velvet" (1986), the indelible suburban horror show that single-handedly turned "Lynchian" into an adjective, and "Wild at Heart" (1990), his neo-rockabilly road movie that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. (Conspicuously missing: 1984's "Dune.")

One disc is devoted to "Dumbland," a crude Flash-animated series that premiered on DavidLynch.com and that is not for all (or even most) tastes. Another contains a selection of short films, including a cluster of distinctive work from the late '60s and '70s.

Which leaves two discs of material not previously available on DVD. "Industrial Symphony No. 1," a recording of a musical play, combines the eerie, gossamer lullabies of Angelo Badalamenti and Julee Cruise with spectacular staging. The set evokes a post-apocalyptic junkyard. Cruise is suspended in mid-air, like a marionette. A half-man, half-deer creature materializes, as does the "Twin Peaks" dwarf, a.k.a. the Man From Another Place. (Lynch himself describes the production best, in the accompanying interview, as "one great big long mood.")

As for that mystery disc, it contains hours of ephemera as likely to annoy non-initiates as it is to delight fanatics. There are a whopping 32 deleted scenes from "Wild at Heart." The rest of the material is roughly divided between early and late Lynch: 16-millimeter doodles from his art-school days, including a funny mock-commercial for the painkiller Anacin starring his good friend Jack Fisk (the production designer), as well as selected episodes from recent online serials (the surrealism of "Out Yonder," the brilliant absurdism of "Rabbits").

Although somewhat hit-and-miss, the early analog experiments and the recent digital ones suggest a curious trajectory. Liberated by new technologies, Lynch has entered a period of experimentation as unfettered as his initial burst of productivity. Artistic twilights are for more timid artists; as the likes of "Inland Empire" and "Rabbits" confirm, this is a career that has, in the best sense, come full circle.

My Lime Green set arrived this morning and it's a beautiful thing. I'm actually more excited than I was the day the Gold Box arrived. The booklet and matching discs are manna from heaven. I haven't watched any of the discs yet, I've just gazed at it lovingly...

Some of the Wild at Heart scenes are really great. I could do without the one of Nic Cage singing (again) and Laura Dern goes really over the top with her a "stiff breeze makes me horny" posturing. (Did Nic Cage think he didn't look goofy? Just wondering...) So, yeah. DL did a good job cutting the fat for time constraints.

Dell's extended and deleted scenes at the gas station and the scenes where Lula gets bitchy and jealous are the best, imo. Oh, and Juana's bottle game was super neat- but where's the severed head masturbation Greg Olson talked about in Beautiful Dark?

Yes, I dig the Mystery Disc. It is like a companion to Dynamic .01. Arty, funny, and unique.

I thought the Lime Green Set was available in the UK.

I remember finding it for preorder on amazon.co.uk but now I can't find it on Region 2! What's going on?

Hey, Nefud, thanks for the comment. That shot is actually from the late 90s, in Lynch's studio, sitting at the console with my 1961 Les Paul. That's the guitar you hear on 'Bad Night' and a couple other 'BlueBOB' tunes. It was shot during an architectural shoot of the studio. I am a bit older and grayer now. Happy New Year to all my friends at the Twin Peaks Gazette. Watch for a surprise documentary in 2009...

  I say! You might be right...

I've just read the description on Amazon;

Clint has to flee his job as pump attendant after his wife is murdered and the killer tries to pin the murder on him. As he crosses America a large number of nymphomaniacs sexually harass him which leads to an explosive climax.

In the next DL film there could be not one but three women... no, make that pussycats... in trouble... and they could be racing car driving go-go dancers?

Did only 2 people on this site buy this Lime Green Set?  Some fans are we.  Yodaspeak.

*Proud Owner.

Bought it mainly for the WAH extra scenes and The Elephant Man, which i did not have.  Worth every penny.  Waiting for "The Hot Pink Box Set."


Ben:  "We've laid in a gala reception for your fair-haired boys tonight.  All of Twin Peaks' best and brightest."

Jerry: "We're holding it in a phone booth?"

I'm also the proud owner.... of a burned copy of the Mystery Disc.

(I sure hope coolsprings wasn't counting me as one of the 2 who bought it.)
