Subject: Re: David Lynch news [twin peaks/Cannes film festival] From: aswelive@mango.ucsb.edu (One of the Lonely Guys) Date: 1990-05-22, 23:02 Newsgroups: rec.arts.movies,rec.arts.tv,alt.tv.twin-peaks Reply-to: aswelive@cornu.ucsb.edu In article gribble@cica.cica.indiana.edu (gribble) writes: Yes, on CNN at noon today, Lynch was quoted that it would be cut for the US market. Too bad. How much worse than Blue Velvet could it be? BTW, was that movie ever released in a R version? -- ************************************************************************ * Steve Gribble Internet: gribble@cica.cica.indiana.edu * Lead Computer Consultant swg@iumail.ucs.indiana.edu * Dept. of Sociology, Indiana University Bitnet: gribble@iubacs Well, I haven't personally seen the uncut version, but my old roommate saw it in LA. Many people just *walked out* because of the amount of graphic blood and guts. This is not to say I condem the film (actually I am looking forward to it), but in the first five minutes she saw, it went far beyond the realm of Blue Velvet! I guess it is more graphical violence then implied as in B.V. I wish I could give details, but I would rather people send me personal requests instead of ruining any of the plot for the unsuspecting reader (which she did for me, despite my complaints- roommates, gotta love 'em) -- ________________________________________________________________________ Chuck Monahan aswelive@citron.ucsb.edu kgb@bears.ucsb.edu "...No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one's experience - that which makes its truth, its meaning - its subtle and penetrating essance.
