Another irony is that, though a painter, Lynch doesn't seem to have taken much of a hand in his poster design.MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-69009215519258465312010-03-17T10:32:49.650-04:002010-03-17T10:32:49.650-04:00*Correction: Lost in the Movies DVD review will NO...*Correction: Lost in the Movies DVD review will NOT be going up at noon, but rather later in the afternoon/evening as will always be the case from now on every Wednesday.MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-58085717347135112062010-03-17T12:10:48.979-04:002010-03-17T12:10:48.979-04:00For as much as I enjoy his movies, his posters alw...For as much as I enjoy his movies, his posters always seem rather quaint.

The only one that comes to mind is Mulholland Dr. I saw that one on TV and was completely transfixed, though for some reason I never ended up seeing it until it was on DVD. I wonder if the appeal of that ad was down to its own positive qualities, or just that of the movie showing through.MovieMan0283http://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.com
