Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary
I'm really looking forward to this--earlier in the year, we had a thread on the book and audio version by the same name. I have both and love David's philosophy. I think it's great that he says artists think they have to suffer in order to be productive, but "when you have a constant migraine, nobody's creating anything." We wouldn't all be here if we didn't universally agree that David is the coolest guy on the planet, but I really love the last line of the article quoting his salary on IMDb as $1000, and David says jokingly, "it's my per minute rate." A salary more fit for the rock star that he is.

Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary
To be honest I'm rather disappointed by this news. I'd much rather Lynch made another movie. In the world of fiction he's a master but when it comes to the real world he lacks the required tools of sceptical or critical thinking.
Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary
i've read the book, too. love the way he talks about these things.
curious to see how this will work in a documentary-road movie.

Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary
For some reason I could imagine this laying somewhere between 1 Giant Leap and An Inconvenient Truth. Although I've never seen American Chronicles, so it might be more like that, which may well be nothing like 1GL/AIT.

Maybe he turned the movie project into web based miniseries?

Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary
I quite enjoyed the philosophy and insight of the book, though I begrudgingly admit that I think it's time better spent making more art, as opposed to this documentary.
Erm, don't get me wrong, I'm a pretty die-hard Lynch fan, so I'll be there cash in hand to see it, but... um.
Like... were it this or Ronnie Rocket, I think I know which I'd prefer.

Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary
I agree instead of talking about how great creativity and TM are show the benefits of them by doing something.
Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary
Anybody have a clue as to progress on this? I haven't heard a thing and can't find it listed on IMDB.

Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary
I have no idea. I think there is a chance he's still doing it since he's been traveling all over the place plugging TM and filming it but all that could just be for DLF TV now.Annie wrote:Anybody have a clue as to progress on this? I haven't heard a thing and can't find it listed on IMDB.

Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary
Did some clips ended up in The Interview Project and David decided to go to India to shoot the Yogi doc?
Re: Catching the Big Fish - the Documentary

Yeah. David tried to stop screening on Film Festival in Berlin last year.
It's in cinemas in Poland now (small cinemas in big cities). I haven't chance to see it yet.
