Mulholland Drive DVD questions

[SHAFTR]

Chapter Stops would be nice
...especially for a few choice Naomi Watts scenes.

i think only people like or resembling or in any way physically/mentally/spiritually connected to and/or in the same room as/married to/to to macguffin, budgie, and p and p(icolas) and jeremy blackman and xerxes will remember the time when i gave out brett ratner's phone number on the old boards and everybody tried to call it

[BonBon85]

I remember when you posted Ratner's number and I said it had to be fake because it was in the 415 area and Ratner's supposed to live in Beverly Hills. Sigh - nobody listened. Funny idea, though. I'd pay for a recording of the messages.

[sphinx]

yeah, i think my initial post said that he was in san fran shooting a movie and you could contact there at that number...

[budgie]

I don't remember this.  

Perhaps I was someone else at the time?
Or my Brett Ratner filter was on.
Or my sphinx shield.
Or my memory is shot.
Or selective.
Or of limited capacity.
Or it's a conspiracy and shinx is just trying to make me do things.
Or think things.

I just wish Mulholland Drive had been a tv series. It's so truncated.

I was at Best Buy today and saw Mulholland Drive for $14.99.  Odd thing, though, which I hadn't noticed before, is there were at least two different covers, with different pictures of Betty (Naomi Watts).  Any particular reason for this?  I can think of a couple, sure.  I just thought it was odd.

Yeah, I finally bought it now that it came down in price. It was kind of good that I put off buying it for so long. It made watching it again more interesting.

i copied the mother fucker onto dvd-r and put chapter stops on that bitch. only drawback now is that i got to switch discs like with a laserdisc.

I watched it the other night and accidentally hit the back button on my remote instead of the pause button, and then had to fast forward all the way back to where I was.

That said, I think the No Chapters feature is an ideal trick for a Lynch movie.

From the Straight Story insert:

"I know that most DVDs have chapter stops. It is my opinion that a film is not like a book- it should not be broken up. It is a continuum and should be seen as such. Thank you for your understanding." - David Lynch[/i]

Will there ever be a SE of Mulholland Drive? The current one doesn't have any exciting special features and it costs $30.

I just bought it at columbiahouse.com for around $12. It really does blow that they don't have a special version with docs yet.........and add DTS surround sound to that crappy Dolby Digital system.  

Sorry for reviving old threads and the use of funky emoticons.......

Re: the sentiment: agreed.

But those who'd buy the DVD are, one'd hope, sophisticated enough to take such concerns under advisement/consideration and make up their own minds.  Lynch could maybe use some artist/audience humility.

if i was ever to make a movie and had control over the dvd, i'd keep in the cigarette burns (yes, i learned that term from fight club) and make the chapter stops at the reel changes. i was watching the dog day afternoon dvd yesterday and they kept the cigarette burns in. i like when they do that. it makes me feel like i'm in the theater. i like when i can see film grain and dirt on the print for some reason. same reason i like hearing the 'pops' on old lp's. just as long as they're not so frequent to be distracting.

[Myxo]

Cigarette burns are cool. Although there is probably something lost in not being at the theater listening to some fucking moron on his cell phone behind you while trying to concentrate on the film.
