Lovely item either way.Jerry Horne wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:15 pm I just know it was first sold by EE in 2020.
I'm not sure if the Graceland merch was actually made or not. Wasn't there a rumor that attendees would get an exclusive announcement of something?
Is it 9am France time the announcement comes out?
I'm not expecting anything. If there is something I think it will look very strange that Lynch denied it so vehemently and seemingly genuinely in numerous publications, a podcast, and his own Youtube video only a day before. But I suppose everyone would be too overjoyed to care. I just think it's highly unlikely. Very much willing to be wrong on this one.sneakydave wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:27 pm I'm off tomorrow so I hope I have something to celebrate.
But I'm 99.9% sure there will be nothing.
Yep! The theater I was in was, as you say, on the smaller side. Maybe 150 seats? (Just guesstimating.) Pretty standard old school setup, no stadium seating or anything fancy. Screen was clean, on the smaller side as you’d expect in a smaller house. No complaints about the presentation (I was initially worried because the preshow had no audio). The attendance was more than I’d expected on a Tuesday afternoon. I was first there so I could position myself in the center; only one other person sat near me, a few seats down. I was surprised when I turned around after the movie ended and realized how many people were behind me. It wasn’t elbow to elbow or anything, but the theater was probably a quarter full. Everyone was very respectful and quiet. I was worried because it is such a long and challenging—and quiet—movie, and some patrons seemed to be “tag alongs” going with a friend or significant other who maybe didn’t know what they were in for. But for the most part you could hear a pin drop, except for some respectful laughter at the appropriate moments, which was quite lovely to experience (right out of the gate, the short video intro by Lynch got very appreciative laughter from the audience).IcedOver wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 8:09 amWas that at IFC Center? How is that place as far as theater and screen size and audience attendance? Online it seems like very tiny theaters and screens. It looks like they're keeping it for a while. I'm not in NYC but could take the bus up.Mr. Reindeer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 7:51 am Yeah, I saw INLAND in 4K yesterday, and it was very much in line with LateReg’s description. Background details like flowers and trees are still blurry, all the jagged digital edges are still there. But less crushed blacks, more balance and nuance, and some great detail in all those extreme closeups on faces that really adds to the performances. But yeah, at the end of the day, it’s always going to kinda look the way it looks.
That sounds wonderful. I really hope we get a few screenings in the UK.Mr. Reindeer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 2:07 pm Yep! The theater I was in was, as you say, on the smaller side. Maybe 150 seats?

I will say anecdotally that I had a suitably Lynchian experience when I went to the concession stand, and the kid there was on the phone and ignored me for a couple minutes. The side of the conversation I heard was completely confounding. I couldn’t tell if he was talking to a boss, a customer service representative, or a family member. At various points he said “I love you” and “What was your name?”
Was it auditorium 1, the one on the ground floor, directly behind the main entrance (not off to the side)? That's their biggest screen, and where I saw Inland Empire six times in its initial run in 2006/2007. Their other screens are tiny.Mr. Reindeer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 13, 2022 2:07 pm
