Agreed. WAH is one of my fave Lynch films and with all of this deleted footage AND Industrial Symphony, that has certainly motivated me to pick up this set.Lino wrote:Well, it does change it for me, anyway. I was thinking of passing on this release but I've been wanting to see those scenes from WAH ever since it won the Cannes Festival. Don't forget that whoever were at the Cannes original screening got to see them but afterwards all we got until now is the version currently out on DVD. So yeah, the table has turned for me. Definitely.

Dugpa.com confirmed that there will be 120 minutes of Deleted and Extended WAH material from a rare work print.
Would have preferred the FWWM Deleted Scenes but 120 minutes sounds very interesting. I wonder if they will have any footage from Blue Velvet as well. I would have preferred Blue Velvet scenes over WAH scenes.

I certainly hope to see some extended scenes involving the all too brief appearance of Crispin Glover as Cousin Dell, as the first photo on the dugpa link would lead us to believe. I'm sure we'll get the Willem Dafoe/shotgun blast scene uncensored.Drake wrote:Dugpa.com confirmed that there will be 120 minutes of Deleted and Extended WAH material from a rare work print.

Re: the scene with Grace Zabriskie and Harry Dean Stanton that supposedly "went to far"...I've never heard of this one. What supposedly happens in this scene?

Overall I would have preferred deleted scenes from the workprint of Blue Velvet (especially the stuff at the beginning with Jeffrey at school) but it's not as though we have any choice about such things and I certainly don't want to sound ungrateful.The scene in which Johnnie is tortured and killed was originally much longer, as Juana, Reggie and Drop Shadow playa strange psychotic game in which she touches empty soda bottles, starts to masturbate, and shows him Santos's cufflink before Drop Shadow kills him. Lynch trimmed the scene following a mass walkout at an early test screening. As Lynch told Rolling Stone, 'It really taught me something: an audience can really be with you, but if you rub it in their face too much - which I didn't think I was doing - they say, "That's enough!" and out they go. And you can't blame them. I thought it was more powerful that way, but it reached a point where it was too much.' Lynch initially took the scene out entirely, but felt that it removed the life-or-death threat hanging over the rest of the film; instead, he truncated it. Ironically, the portion of the scene which remains in the film contains the most violence: those of the test audience remaining in their seats would have realised that the scene's denouement is no more or less disturbing than the build-up to it. Had the audience stayed, they would have realised that their own imaginings about where the scene were headed were probably more unpleasant than Lynch's .

Re: David Lynch: The Lime Green Set
Think i'll get it... Looks very good, and well, 10 euro a disc isn't all that bad. Especially since the only one of his films i own is Blue Velvet, and i'll just give that to my dad...
Besides, i have to do a report on "The elephant man" in a few weeks, so it would be nice to have the documentary that comes with the set..

Might not want to do that. The Lime Green set doesn't have all the BV extras.Mr.Jagil wrote:Especially since the only one of his films i own is Blue Velvet, and i'll just give that to my dad...
Re: David Lynch: The Lime Green Set
That's been corrected: apparently it does have the extras. Dugpa got an early preview copy of the box - the Blue Velvet extras are what caused the delay on the release date. Apparently, the two discs will be identical, other than the new sound mix.

Re: David Lynch: The Lime Green Set
Elephant Man in my set stops playing at 77:49. Very disappointed - one rarely sees defective DVDs nowadays. Have to send back the whole set...

Re: David Lynch: The Lime Green Set
David Lynch pulled this set out of print a few months ago. Perhaps he's ready to restart negotiations with Criterion? At least, that's what I'm hoping for.

Re: David Lynch: The Lime Green Set
Lynch can't "negotiate with Criterion" over anything other than his short films and ERASERHEAD. It's more likely that he licensed the other films for a limited time from the studios that own them, and those rights have now expired.

Re: David Lynch: The Lime Green Set
I thought I heard that Lynch has sold the rights to Eraserhead, etc, to raise Maharishi money or some such...

Re: David Lynch: The Lime Green Set
He either sold outright or is letting mk2 sell the film on his behalf. All mk2 will say is that the film has been picked up by a new US distributor who will reissue the film theatrically in the near future. I would guess Janus or IFC but it could be a number of other small labels.
