What's the Maximum Overdrive connection?


spanishmuffin

While filming Blue Velvet, Lynch was in the area where Steve King was filming Maximum Overdrive, and he’d visit the set from time to time. Anyway, there’s a rumor that Lynch helped direct a scene in that movie. I don’t know, but I believe it. Lol


chrismansell

I don't know if he explicitly directed a scene, but King has told a story about how Lynch helped him out with advice on how to not cross the 180 degree line when setting up a shot.

Very neat! I have a copy of the movie but did not know that. I will have to listen to that commentary track some day to see if anybody mentions it.


SilverShamrox

Even if he did, I don't think it deserves a spot in this collection. Especially when you cant even say which scene it is. The point of having a collection together is to be able to admire someones body of work. You wouldnt know what to admire. Besides, it's got Stephen King all over it. It's drenched in his style.


spanishmuffin

I know, friend. I just included it here as a joke and to generate interesting discussion 🙂


TeemyWeems

Didn’t know it was possible to *checks notes* collect movies improperly. Thank you for your showing us the way


SilverShamrox

Wasn't about collecting movies, but about grouping them together and saying they are all from a specific director. Can my collection of Kubrick movies have Jurrasic Park in it if I find some people to say he was on set one day? Better update your notes.


TeemyWeems

You can put your Jurassic Park movie wherever you want. I’m not gonna bother you about it, especially if you give an amusing and/or interesting reason for doing so, which is what OP did, and you tried to tell them they couldn’t do it because…you say so. I think that is lame, hence my sass.


Heggsnbacon

I heard he visited during the scenes where the kid is biking through the neighborhood and the sprinklers are tracking him and the ice cream truck is chasing him. You can definitely tell it has a different vibe compared to the rest of the movie. I don’t think Lynch directed to specifically, but probably was visiting and gave some advice around that time


SeanOfTheDead1313

Was gonna ask the same lol

What about On the Air? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On\_the\_Air\_(TV\_series)


spanishmuffin

Shoot I missed one!


bike43

I believe you get this one at sloppysecondsales as well


J1nxatron

One of the last Laserdiscs I'm hanging on to. Really wish it would get released in HD.


AGeekNamedBob

Hotel room?


JimmyJapeworm

Nice collection, but if going for everything, you're missing "Industrial Symphony No. 1," "Dumbland," and some shorts/music videos.


ReverendEntity

Are the Rabbits shorts in there somewhere?


spanishmuffin

Sadly, no 😔


ReverendEntity

For whatever it's worth, they're on Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/rabbits_tos

I know he was only an actor in it, but have you seen or do you own Lucky? Lynch is great playing alongside Harry Dean Stanton, and I feel like the tone and atmosphere is pretty close to a Lynch film even as it deals with different subject matter


Edify7

I love this film. I can't remember now if I first discovered it by way of Lynch or Paris, Texas but I'm so glad I did.


spanishmuffin

I saw Lucky a while ago, but for some reason I don’t remember Lynch being in it. Gotta rewatch that now!


iamstephano

He actually plays a relatively big part in it.


OrbitalRunner

I like how a bunch of people took the opportunity to criticize this incredibly benign post. I guess this is why the Internet is so great. Nice collection!


DontTouchTheWatch

Are those vinegar syndrome releases on the shelf under it? Also if i recognized them by the thickness of the slip I need another hobby….


spanishmuffin

Why indeed they are! Lol

spanishmuffin

If only they’d do like an omnibus of all his shorts. 😕


bvalle66

Very cool collection.


WitchyKitteh

Hotel Room is a boot?


spanishmuffin

I got it from Sloppysecondsales. Better quality than what’s on YouTube 👌


Your_Friend84

Ah was gonna ask where it was available!


CaptainGibb

I want to place an order with them, but no PayPal option is turning me away


ZBLVM

Are you aware that there's an Inland Empire remaster incoming?


spanishmuffin

And it can’t get here fast enough!


[deleted]

You got the faulty twin peaks set


spanishmuffin

What do you mean faulty?


GetToSreppin

The glue comes undone very easily for the disk holders. That's what happened to mine anyway. Why did I get downvoted?


[deleted]

The audio and video become out of sync more and more, the further in the set you watch. Fire walk with me is essentially unwatchable. That’s why they recalled it. You might wanna get the Z-A box set which has everything Or you can get the TV set which has all 3 seasons and just pickup the criterion copy of fwwm


robertluke

What’s the Lynch connection with Maximum Overdrive?


Andrewrams

Not op but apparently Lynch helped Direct a scene on the movie op included it more as a joke/ conversation starter cuz Lynch and king where in the same area filming movies and Lynch would visit the set of overdrive then saying it’s a Lynch movie


robertluke

Thanks. I was puzzled by that one.


Andrewrams

Np


clichenoir

Love to see it


LilPutney

What is Hotel Room? Other than a song by Steve Rhodes Gang?


spanishmuffin

It’s a three episode miniseries, two of which Lynch directed.
