No, it would make no difference. The narrative structure of Inland Empire is what is difficult.

I would LOVE S3 to be like Inland Empire tho, minority opinion as that may be.

Someone calling it "difficult" is music to my ears!
I love all of Lynch's "difficult" material.

But wouldn't familiar characters help ground you even if the narrative structure was difficult to follow or surreal?

I hope it won't be like IE, but suspect it will be closer to IE than to the original show, or even FWWM.
I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.

Yep. Bed early Sunday night, up 1.30am. Watch the first two. Snooze then wake. Up Watch eps 3&4!! Taken Monday off work to make it happen..
Then hit Dugpa to find out what we all think/thought.
After sitting up till gone 2am last night I realised that watching live I wouldn't take it all in, so will watch on catch up on Monday.

Did anyone see any photos of Lynch/Frost or even better Lynch/Frost/Kyle/Sheryl combos at the premiere last night? I can't believe they let such a golden opportunity to photograph them together slip away so easily if not. (saw DKL and Kyle ones)

John Thorne's twitter reaction made me even more excited.
This is - excuse me - a damn fine cup of coffee.

Grr, it might be an agonizing few days. I've decided I won't be watching tomorrow, not until later in the week. I'm in the middle of re-watching the show on Blu-ray (many episodes not viewed since they originally aired), and still have a few days of that. I want to know the general flavor of reaction to it, but not enough to color my opinion. It might be a balancing act. Words like "difficult" are enough to get one thinking about and anticipating just what this show is. As far as the show's similarities to "Inland", I think it'll sort of take these characters and put them in those kinds of surreal scenes. Remember how episode 8 (the second season premiere) felt so radically different from the first season? Same characters, just "lynched". The rhythms and the flavor of the show were so changed, especially during the opening scene (of course the very next episode, even though a Lynch episode, felt more conventional, then you went back to full-on conventional in subsequent episodes, pointing out the show's uneven nature). I suspect this show might reflect that kind of shifting of the world of the show. Then of course you have the new storylines and characters which are free to be whatever they are. Who knows, though? This could be a crushing, inept disappointment from a rusty filmmaker, and we could be looking back and laughing at all this useless speculation.

Rainwater wrote:The nightmarish confusion that runs throughout Inland Empire reminds me of a few, for lack of a better description, almost-schizophrenic fever-dream episodes I've experienced. Certainly impressive, but I struggle to find humor in the particular kind of confusion this film envelops you in. I'm also puzzled when people call the film "hopeful" - I don't think the "good" ending offsets all the darkness that comes before.
But it's beyond hopeful--it's a celebration!

IE is all about honoring what actors do as artists. In the end, it's a rhapsodic celebration of their willingness to offer up their entire selves--their body and psyche alike--and dive into whatever dark holes are necessary to bring a character to life. And, by extension, it's a celebration of what artists in general do to bring ideas to life. It can be harrowing, to be sure, but it's all for art. There's a character, an idea, trapped and crying out to live and it is the actor who allows her to finally do so at whatever emotional cost. This is a holy act. IE is all about honoring that holy act--and the "Sinnerman" segment at the end is an ecstatic ceremony of thanks.

That's how I take it anyway.

True. Though IE was Lynch's most recent work in the medium, so...
