"On the Air"
My David Lynch fixation grows by the day. A friend informed me that Lynch and Mark Frost did another short-lived show after Twin Peaks called On the Air. The full series is available via BitTorrent using obvious search terms, and YouTube has the first episode, broken into four parts, the first of which I will gladly share with you now:Subsequent parts are appropriately labelled and will likely show up in the YouTube box after this one finishes. Failing that, here are direct links: 2, 3, 4.
All told, in the last month I've watched Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway, and the trailer and first season of Twin Peaks. A friend and I are planning on gradually working through the second season, and the Siskel Center is playing Mulholland Dr next week. For me, the entire world is now permanently charged with a vaguely menacing eroticism, punctuated by explosions of extreme violence. Just yesterday, I was running the dishwasher, and what would normally be background noise gradually became overwhelming -- time slowly came to a stop as the noise filled seemingly the entire world. Then there was this freaky close-up of my eye.
I'm incidentally pretty sure that Zizek and Lynch were separated at birth.
And unfortunately, I now have the song "In the Air Tonight" stuck in my head. I'm lucky it's not "Another Day In Paradise" -- I might get confused and start thinking I'm grocery shopping.
