  • coooool!!!!!!! thanks for sharing this video... :)

  • We meet again, 240p

  • David Lynch is himself a piece of art.

  • Oh, I think this was part of Lynch's campaign to get Laura Dern the Oscar nomination. It didn't work, but she received alot of praise for her performance in the movie (and understandably so).

  • I enjoyed Inland Empire. It was Lynch cutting loose and doing his thing, and doing it damn well.

  • Ah man, you guys got a chance to meet David Lynch himself, and shake his hand too !.

    The cow stands for the milk, like the milk stands for "Inland Empire". Lynch, ate a lot of cheese during that movie roll.

    Anyways, it's also a great way to drag people's attention, considering it was a promotion campaign for Laura Dern.

    Ditto, though it's been 5 years, Laura Dern, did indeed a great performance in "Inland Empire".

  • now what the hell would've happened if instead of cheese he'd eaten frog legs?

  • Keep the bloody camera still for God's sake!! Jeez!

  • You're one lucky mother fucker.

  • ...but she didn't get the nomination. Nice try though, David.

  • the whole thing is set up as a promotion for Laura Dern's Oscar nomination. Very kind of David to do that for her. He's a sweet man. He was pissed when he heard the other actresses campaigning had people spending over 2 million dollars! So he set out to do a campaign the David Lynch way. lol.

  • I'm sure this question has been askes soooo many times, but why in the name of god do they have a cow there?!

  • wow now thats fucking weird A COW? and david lynch? LOL

  • Not many people know this, but david lynch directed birdemic

  • The "cheese is made from milk" thing is actually a line from one of David Lynch's scripts... Ronnie Rocket

  • supreme

  • Wow! You guys sure were lucky. Thanks for sharing!

  • laura dern's wasnt just the best performance of 2006, but IMO one of the best performances of the decade

  • "I know my cow is not pretty, but it is pretty to me."

  • I finally get the "cheese is made from milk" thing

  • where the f*ck was the cheese on inladn empire? XD

    lynch is god

  • Comment removed

  • Inland Empire is such a great movie and i couldn't in a million years explain why.

  • hahaha "it's some kind of cow..." either this was staged and rehearsed or american conversations sound exactly how i always imagined them sounding... hee hee, reminds me of the american couple's conversation in monty python's meaning of life.

  • FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE etc...

  • Um... you think it's fake? It's David Lynch, sitting there, with a cow. What part of that was faked?

  • Sorry, I should have explained. The entire premise of the video, the set-up being two guys driving along and randomly coming across DL and a cow, THAT is fake. DL and the cow are real, but the story being perpetrated by the guys who made the video is fake.

  • You don't know that. You're running on assumption. Just because two guys are driving along and happen to have a camera going, doesn't mean it's FAKE... though I do see how you'd get the suspicion. These two are genuinely master actors if it's fake...

  • You're right, I don't 100% know that, but my view is not based on assumption. It's based on the fact that their reaction upon seeing Lynch and the cow sounds SO contrived, sounds SO incredibly phony, that I just can't believe for a second that they didn't set this up ahead of time.

    "Genuinely master actors"? I think you're giving WAYYYY too much credit to their performance, but you're entitled to your opinion.

  • @worldsworstjukebox I agree. David Lynch is more into viral marketing than he lets on.

  • I hate it.

  • What are you saying? Lynch is just in it for money?

  • this is fucking viral marketing at it's fakest, listen to those douchebags talking

  • agreed.

    i love the fact that david lynch is doing that out on the street but this video kills the charm.

  • haha too funny if it was

    that would actually be on another level

  • this = epic win. have to see the film now.

  • I had the same experience over on La Brea with Leon Russell...

  • I wished i lived in L.A. An amazing artist, a beautiful person. "Jimmy Stewart from Mars"

  • I lovethat in the back ground 1:19 you hear Lynch say "He works out of Brazil."

  • i think brazil is the best film ever

  • Comment removed

  • You lucky sons of biatches...

  • Oh my god, you guys have met Lynch. Nice. He is such a sympathic person. Nice video.

  • I would jizz my pants if I got to meet him!

  • cheese is made from milk! hahaha lynch is such a badass.

  • That IS pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

  • Wow!

    So lucky!

  • Awesome video.

  • I would drop tears of joy if I just get the luck of meeting him

  • Pure AWESOME!!!

  • You guys are so fuckin lucky to meet and speak with Lynch who, aside from Harmony Korine, is one of the greatest, most abstract artists of our time...

    Despite how crazy Hollywood can be, it takes serious balls to sit on the corner of a major street in public with a live cow and spout, for lack of a better word, riddles about cheese, as a means to promote a film....

    Lynch will forever remain underappreciated as a surreal visionary, on the level of Salvador Dali...

  • there is one place where david really comes out of his shell and will speak candidly and privatly to anyone. that is lynch weekend at maharishi university in fairfield iowa.

    i went the last two years and it was really fucking fun.

  • was he just sitting there? no cameras?

  • Stay out of trouble.

  • Haha, no way

  • i would have dropped to my knees and kissed his feet if i saw him on the street... wow.. david lynch... just simply wow...

  • come to david lynch weekend this april at maharishi university in fairfield iowa.

    not only can you meet david lynch personally, but he will pay the 2000$ for you to learn Transendental Meditation via the david lynch foundation.

  • oh thoose poor little milky thing xd

  • lucky cow thats what i call freedom

  • David Lynch is the greatest director of all time. He has inspired my work so much.

  • This is how I understand the cheese/milk thingy: cheese is aged and matured milk = symbol for Laura Dern (or her acting) since she's is an aged and matured actress. Without her Inland Empire wouldn't be what it is, because of her brilliant and experienced acting. AND maybe the fact that Lynch got the idea for the movie after he meet Dern in his driveway and she asked if they should start working together again (though this is kinda speculative).

  • Comment removed

  • :) David Lynch is adorable. I just love him.

  • Amazing, just amazing, you are so lucky. He is a genius. And he's crazy as crap. I mean watch some of he's interviews. Great man. Crazy as crap great man. Haha

  • golden timing, dude.

  • I completely missed the whole David Lynch phenomenon having been in Africa from August '86 to '93. I just watched Blue Velvet for the first time last night and now I get it.However, the milk made from cheese thing is going to need some reflecting on my part before I get it.

  • That woman standing there was quick to pretend she understood it, and wasn't at all convincing, you are an honest person.

  • Hah! Thanks!

  • wuuuu

  • Holy shit i would have parked my car in a heartbeat to shake that man's hand and tell him he's a friggin genius.

  • "with a fucking cow!!"

    lol

  • "what the fuck is David Lynch doing!?"

    I think David heard that line way to often in his life xD

  • greeat guys!!!

  • amazing. i love david lych so much that im speechless right now :P

  • He seems so friendly!

  • Lucky bastards. Y'all got to meet David Lynch and a cow.

  • ahahahaha great -check it out is david lynch and a cow... -what a fuck is this... ahahaha i like it very much

  • LOL!!! I live seven blocks away from that intersection. You've captured something very valuable here. One day it will be shown at a museum. I'm sure of it.

  • "What the fuck is David Lynch doing?"

    Now there's a question that enters my mind every damn day.

  • I thought he said "Stay out of drugs"

  • My cheese, my milk

  • David Lynch=Amazing

  • he's so amazing. so kind and unassuming despite being a huge influence on so many...

  • Groovy.

  • She was amazing in the film.

  • I love him so much. :D

  • i don't get the cheese-milk thing

  • grande david!

  • Wow David Lynch's seems to be really nice in person! Definitely un-hollywood! One of my fave directors ever!

  • all that zooming bothers me O.o

    Anyways...

    I'm a bit jealous. You meet the master himself!

  • oh my god. what a great meeting. lynch is the best

  • Yes, don't worry I have much milk

  • What percentage of people watching this clip like Mullholland Drive? Answer below:

    -YouTubePollster dot com (not really)

  • i liked it!

  • Seriously, how can anyone not love David Lynch? He's just fuckin AWESOME!

  • Haha! Love it!

  • HA! Holy Crap that was rad :D

  • Nate and Matt are really bad actors and obviously didn't just "happen upon David Lynch"...though I did enjoy the David Lynch parts. Genius man in trouble.

  • well. i just must say that this little movie was totally genius! it may have been lynch who has directed this, a sweet little advertising-campaign! it is just as absurd as a lynchsuggestion of what is happening in his movies! but the thing is that i dont believe that lynch has directed this, and that makes this little greatness just a little greatness! awesome! holy cow! milk

  • OH FUCK! David Lynch made a movie about a woman in trouble? Wow!

  • I like this video clip very much.

    When/where exactly did you take this shot ?

  • That's pretty funny.

  • i wonder what happened to the cow?

  • Now that I've seen the film ( which makes mulholland drive look tame) Laura Dern deserved much more than just an oscar for how deep she went .

  • THATS A holtsein cow i have about 260 Holstein cattle on my farm

  • that is some awesome footage you got there

  • lynch is god

  • how convenient that they started filming just because they saw a police motorcycle in front of a church

  • Does the USDA know this cow is off property?

    See nonais dot org.

  • The promo is for considering Laura Dern for an award. The cheese is made from milk thing could be interpreted as cheese being the actors, the milk being the plot line/story, and the cow being the creator of the milk (story). Lynch produced and conceived the whole project, making him the originator, or cow, which he has right next to him.

    Or it could mean absolutely nothing.

  • Laura Dern absolutely kicks ass in Inland Empire.

  • you lucky bastards! that's awesome. And he's not a pompous tom cruise asshole. But I knew that already

  • That is soooo cool of David to do that for Laura...

    how long were the 2 guys there rappin w/ David??

  • david lynch you are just a genius and i love u!..u are the only one!!!!

  • Cows are evil the Amish make them kill on every full moon i drink 12%Fat

  • Lucky fuckers!

    Nice spot there dudes. ^_^

  • Funny & Cool, lynch style

  • lovely video!

  • Great video you guys! This was one of the first Youtube videos I ever saw and it will always be in my favorites! I was fortune to meet Master Lynch when he was touring with his book...What a great guy he is!!!!!!!!

  • I cant believe it LOL

    david lynch sitting on the corner with a cow saying "cheese is made from milk".

  • ''pretty cool'' is right !... man, it doesn't get any better ......, Hollywood and there on the ol' corner, all by his lonesome, the maestro himself , with afriggin cow !..... thanks for sharing this !.....

  • ahahahah! persuasive!

  • cheese is cool.

  • Only David Lynch.

  • damn thats awesome!

  • how about cheese is made from milk.

    INLAND EMPIRE is made from laura dern (i.e. her involvement was crucial to the film's existence)

    eh..i don't know..just thinking...

  • Ah man, you gotta do something, like run your fingers through his coif or something, or make an obscure

    statement, or something, or....

  • How 'bout

    -Milk comes from females

    -Cheese comes from milk

    -Inland Empires (apparently) come from cheese

    Just thinking aloud, here

  • "It's some kind of cow!"

  • awful actors these two boys. Even if it was not staged it still is staged.

  • what the fuck does that even mean?

  • Cool, check out my videos.

  • That was awesome...BUT I THINK ITS FAAKKEEE...FAKE... BUT GREAT IDEA THOUGH ....I mean come on... Without cheese there wouldnt be an inland empire...the coww... its just a Lynchian prank... i love it..

  • HAHAHA!! so laughable cool. this was just abstract. haha. thanks for upload guys!

  • You guys really are my heroes...to stumble upon such a quirky situation & capture it so PERFECTLY?! AWESOME! David Lynch is GOD!!!

  • I am the cheese.

  • i am assaulted by a strong, strong feeling of jealousy. david lynch = teh win. if i saw lynch sitting outside of hollywood and la brea w/ a cow... omg. you guys handled it quite well! I'd probably sound like an idiot, babbling on about how much i liked the elephant man and twin peaks, blah blah blah...

  • you GOTTA love mr. lynch!

  • it's some kind of cow.

    i'd imagine so.

  • that is pretty cool all right; i wish i had been there

  • Unless of course, you feel films SHOULD be devoid of meaning and art (which is often absent in the Hollywood films of Bay and sometimes Spielberg), because then you're basically just watching sports.

  • In addition, you might want to consult your english learners guide again, or whatever it is that you use, to ensure you understand these American terms, so you can learn what Hollywood films ACTUALLY are. I hate to sound like a snob, but the only people that can fully appreciate films for their artistic value are film connoisseurs such as myself, but obviously not you.

  • Pay no attention to this SHIT! The site is full of SHIT!

  • Thanks for the video! What a great, weird world we live in.

  • you are fucking bullshit (chick)......he's not trying to buy an oscar like bay (he's a fucking couchetard)...he's trying to maintain integrity - unfortunately he's gotaa sit with a cow downtown to get people to take notice.....

  • if Bay wanted to buy an Oscar, he would've a long time ago but he didn't. You can campaign to win an award though and considering that David is some cheapass compared to other and better Hollywood directors like Eastwood or Spielberg, he'll never win an award.

  • David Lynch isn't a Hollywood director. David Lynch is often defined as an auteur, and thus makes auteuristic films. Oh wait, is auteur not defined in your english-japanese dictionary, Chikusoo? I actually took 3 years of japanese in high school.

  • By the way, In 1992, Lynch was named "the Most Influential Filmmaker" by Time Magazine. Next time you attempt to defend this position, albeit a mostly indefensible one, try to provide at least a little substantial evidence and disregard your opinions if they consist of pure ignorance, that is all that constitutes every comment you have posted here.

  • dont watch anymore lynch movies ,try fecking dallas cheese boy

  • switzerland

  • However much they swore and seemed confused, I'm sure most of us would be taken aback by the encounter.

  • How many times did they have to say 'fuck'?

  • I'm pretty sure they wanted to say it at least 23 times, but because of time constraints and the failing light, they had to edit it down.

  • "stay outta trouble" hahaha this is amazing

  • why am I in love with this guy?

  • He's really cool!

  • do you visit inland impire trailer in my page?

  • "Is he doing a promo on something?" pretty much exposed this for the hoax it is. You'd think any project David Lynch was involved with might attract better actors.

  • wtf.....im telling you man, indepedent filmmakers arent like david lynch are goin to end up in the strEEETS  PROMOTING THEIR MOVIES.

  • "LoneConformist", how did u find the solution to the "Without cheese there can be no Inland Empire." or the "cheese is made from milk" statement???

    anyone else know wat it means?

  • It's a bit like Beavis and Butthead's approaching a remarkable artist. David Lynch is great.

  • He's such a guy, ain't he •°º·.¸,

  • David chilling out on a corner with a cow. Fantastic!

  • lol you know that lynch is going to make it a puzzle

  • Part III: "Without milk there can be no cheese." Milk is another Christian metaphor, for the souls of the blessed and holy. You've heard of "land of milk and honey" to describe heaven. But Satan, who will rule the Inland Empire, will take these souls and CURDLE them, ruin them. "Without cheese there can be no Inland Empire." Cheese, that is, curdled milk, represents the dead souls of the 3rd millenium.

  • Part II: "Inland Empire" is another way of saying New World Order. It is a one-world government with no escape, hence "inland" -- landlocked. It will be ruled by Lucifer, whose goal is to be worshipped as Christ once was, and will be a pagan-technological civilization filled with dead souls, puppets, like in the movie Aeon Flux. Because who else would worship Lucifer?

    Okay, now the statement about milk and cheese. Read on --

  • I'll explain this frightening statement and movie.

    Part I: The movie Inland Empire is really about the Bride or Holy Spirit ( Laura Dern ) falling away from the Christian church ( the husband ). The Polish husband who "knows everything" is the Archangel Michael. He will be famous soon and that's why Lynch shot scenes of the "Polish circus" -- there will be a media circus around him until he is killed. He is a filmmaker and when Laura Dern shoots him, the Inland Empire begins.

  • um is "videochugspecialist" on to something?? anyway "Without cheese there would be no inland empire." then he says "cheese is made from milk"

    Very starnge. Its like it means something, but everytime I try to find a solution my mind bends hella far lmao

  • ummmm...wtf. That made no sense. lol funny, but biazrre. "CHEESE IS MADE FROM MILK"? I don`t get it.

  • Cheese is made from cheese board!

  • Cheese is made from milk...

  • LOL!! Did he lose his fucking mind?
