Blue Velvet from The Yellow Man
Blue Velvet was my first acting effort, and was a very strange look into the movie industry. I enjoyed working with a great group of professionals, saw sides of the industry which I found to be very strange and somewhat alarming, and learned the true meaning of the word "actor"
There were some great actors-Dennis Hopper (Stone Cold 100% GREAT Human being-Fantastic actor, easy to work with)-Isabella Rossellini (a wonderful lady 100% Genuine Human Being and the absolute definition of an actor )-Kyle MacLachlan-George Dickerson (One of my favorites in the group-Commander Swanson/ Hill Street Blues/Lots of pointers from him before scenes.
But the Movie itself!? Strange, intense, Violent, but you should have seen the deleted scenes-the edits changed the rating to R from a possible X. I have watched it a dozen times and each time get a little better understanding of the plot. Love the Found Scenes section-Don't miss it
Here is Jeff Goodwin putting my blood pump in action
Haunting, mesmerizing and sensual -- everything you'd expect from the leading surrealist filmmaker of the modern (or any) era. This is near peak-Lynch perfection and also, oddly enough, one of his most accessible. Then he gave us TWIN PEAKS <3 The MGM Blu-ray is perfectly fine although its lack of menu is frustrating (one of their follies on all blurays) so if you don't like that, get the Criterion release, otherwise, this one does just fine.
David Lynch is a well-revered director in most film circles and Blue Velvet is one of his best, and most accessible, achievements. Being something of a neo-noir, Blue Velvet follows a fairly traditional narrative and quickly spirals into something both perverse and maddening. This particular blu-ray edition of Blue Velvet showcases an impressive transfer with various special features that make it the most definitive release of the film thus far. Essential viewing!
