@misterfilmguy: My comment was based on a hypothesis concerning the intention of this response to David Lynch's video; you can take or leave the hypothesis but you can't argue that it's irrelevant without explaining what you think that intention was. Simple contradiction does not an argument make. (By the way, I'm only writing this - 2 years later! - to clarify what I meant. If you want to continue the discussion, please cool your jets.)
I want you to get a fucking 35mm projector I want to read the motherfucker manual and I want to stop watching those fucking ipod! 56 million last year watched movies on iphones because of fucking assholes like you!
He's making the same argument against watching movies on Phones as people do against watching it on TVs. I have to agree that something is lost watching a movie at home, alone, compared to a movie in the theater. So I've got to agree with him on the phone thing too. You can see the movie but you can't get the effect that seeing something in the theater does. Does that mean that you shouldn't do it? No, but understand you are going to lose something, maybe too much, seeing something on a phone.
@MountAnalogue And I just experienced a simulation of replying to a simulation of commentary on a digital website on a video of a phone playing a video about not viewing films on phones...
The amount of lynchian levels in this video is astronomical!
In the immortal words of David Lynch iphone "Bullshit!" "total fuckking bullshit" Cinema is true original moving picture medium! iphone is not original!
@QuietGiantProduction It's not that difficult to understand, "Baww ww, I'm being left behind because I've already settled into my niche," on any medium.
As much as I agreed with David Lynch, this has got to be the funniest video response ever. Lighten up and just take it at face value guys. lol. 90% of us know Lynch is right. Take humor.
doesnt matter how fucking great bluray is its still video line resolution at the end of the day! Its not pure film! Or even digital cinema which would leave bluray in dust many times over! I own Bluray and so far not been impressed with its picture or sound! Only few ever make it though with 10/10 picture and audio.
haha this is ironic... because it looks and sounds like shit
in fact this perfectly illustrates lynch's point. watching a film on an iphone is like watching a film on a screen that's filtered through another screen. the additional level of remove means you are not experiencing the film as a film. i imagine your entire perception is like this.
this smug hipster sashay bit is getting old. my reaction is transforming from contempt to rage.
it looks like shit cuz he took a video of it. i have an iphone and i have movies on it and sad to say but the picture quality is better on that then some tvs ive seen before.
@lxweapon Have you ever watched a bootleg where they just snuck a camera into the theater? The camera is shaky and the screen is always too bright or too dark and the audio is both muffled and tinny.
But that doesn't mean that the big screen is a badwrong medium for watching movies, it just means that the bootlegger couldn't be bothered to get high quality camera and microphones.
PS It's kind of ironic that you're accusing the uploader of being smug when you're admittedly full of "contempt."
If this is intended as a witty response to David Lynch's comments, it sadly misses his point. His point is not that visual information cannot be conveyed over a mobile phone (an argument no sane person would make) but that a "movie experience" cannot be had over a mobile phone. That of course begs many questions and you might conceivably counter his argument in any number of ways. However, simply filming yourself playing back his comments on an iPhone, is not one of those ways.
@johnnyknack No part of your comment has anything to do with the video you are commenting on. You're giving a rebuttal to an argument you yourself started in the very same comment. If David Lynch read it, he'd tell you to fucking get real.
I have an phone and I fkin heart it I'm not one of these nutters who thinks its going to solve world hunger or kill maggie thatcher but I think its good. BUT FOR FUKS SAKE ITS A 3.5 INCH SCREEN JESUS HOW CAN YOU WATCH A FILM ON THE PALM OF YOUR HAND YOU FKING IDIOTS!!!
typical apple - hes against the whole idea of watching a film in a little window and apples holding it up as some kind of triumph because their little windows a bit bigger - pffft
That was a witty response, but I must agree, there are just some movies that you HAVE to experience in the big screen or you're just watching it. For example, STAR WARS. There is no way you can get the full intention of the magnitude of space, the ships, the battles on an iPhone...and I am talking from a point of view of someone who has an iPhone. I will say that I enjoy that portability convenience though..LOL On a trip, a waiting room, or line, it is nice to have... :-)
"You will think that you experience the film, but you will be cheated"
That's probably a joke constructed about the fact that movie is an illusion.
Or he probably means that when you run it on a iphone, you have to turn it 90 degrees. When you watch it normally, the microphone looks like an axe and the surroundings suggest that it's Quakes's e1m7. That mens that Lynch is the Chaton - yay! And this means that he reads the comments ;P
Keep in mind, Lynch is a guy who avoids chapters on his DVD releases, because he thinks it takes away from the experience of watching a film in one sitting. A bit obsessive. The idea of experiencing the magic of a film anywhere, taking it with you, is beautiful. You hear it, you see it, so what if it's on a portable device? Has the film's story somehow been reduced along with the screen? Doesn't compare to a theater's magic, but it's still a Goddamn film regardless.
I think it's about the atmosphere and taking in the film for what it's worth. Minute details and attention, too. It's the difference between listening to a record on a high grade audio system and listening to a low quality mp3 through a cell phone speaker. You can still listen to the song and take it with you but the experience is so much different.
Lynch puts a lot into his audio soundtrack/score, that comprises 50 percent of the movie experience, that can never be realized via these miniature playback devices. I prefer watching (listening to) his movies at my home on a 5.1 surround system. THAT is more of total movie experience, to me.
I kind of feel bad for film makers. Over the decades, the experience of watching a movie has become less and less of a big deal. The VCR, the mass amounts of formulaic Hollywood movies, small screens, and so on.
I don't necessarily agree with Lynch, but I'm keeping things in perspective.
My opinion was that his point was that a Film will not engrose or be captured fully on something that doesn't take up a large percentage of your sense. For instance a large screen in a dark room with a clear audio setup would be a superior experience to watching for instance on your iphone, Get real. I personaly have watched a film on a Psp.
Being of similar size I found it less entertaining than watching the same film on a Larger screen.
Well, this has proven to me a video on a cellphone is worse than the same video on my computer. I don't want to imagine what watching a good movie on a cellphone is like.
I have no idea what your point is. He never said iphones were ruining theaters, he said it's moronic that people actually think they can enjoy a movie on a phone.
Lynch didn't seem to mind doing a show on the small screen (television). My point is change is neither good nor evil, it's simply change. He's a dinosaur and so are we.
lol he's not saying iphones are bad because he's afraid of it replacing theaters, he's saying that people who think they've seen a movie on their phone are basicly tasteless retards who have no real love for the cinematic experience. it doesn't have anything to do with technology or the market, it has everything to do with art appreciation
Get real! Have you ever even seen an iPhone? And a TV? Compare them, you WILL find a striking deferens, especially - I think - on SIZE! Sheesh! Are you out of your mid! Do you think you could EVER get the sensation you get from watching Twin Peaks or INLAND EMPIRE on a TV when watching it on a phone??
I thought the video was funny, not really making a point or proving Lynch wrong. Not everything is definitive. Lynch's point still stands and is funny as hell, but I feel the notion that it is highly likely that someone may have first viewed that video on an iPhone - that's comical to me.
Some movies probably aren't destroyed on an iPhone (Hitch?), but in general why would you want to look at a small picture of a painting in a magazine when you have a chance to see it at a museum.
yea it definitely depends on the movie... a youtube video of course isn't going to be better on the big screen, & maybe some of the teen comedy movies
HAHA! I can't believe people are getting angry and calling him "an idiot" because he has uploaded this video. Why in the world would this make you angry? Fucking furious YouTube users, take your pent up teenage rage somewhere else.
I don't think this person is trying to contridict David Lynch. Relax, enjoy your life. Not everything everybody does is a political statement. If anything you could argue that this video proves David's point. But no bodys arguing. Take some prozac or something...jesus
ahahahha. you made me laugh. I am gonna take some right now. maybe it will make me speak backwards... however, be vigilant! I love films and music and what i see is that their quality is going down day by day.. I don't want to be political but that just makes me angry. ok, ok now i go and get some prozac (+).
Absolutely fascinating. Does watching a movie in a movie theater preclude wanting to also see content on your other devices? Why can't people be "both/and"??
please keep doing this. I mean make a NEW vid with this vid inside it on an IPhone, and then make a new vid with THAT vid inside it... and again and again and again. if I had an iPhone I'd be doing this!
aint tryna b clever or anything but apple macintosh is NOT a company, its called APPLE and their computer product lines from 1984-present are named macintosh.
I'm perfectly capable of editing film on other systems. (More and better tools for it out there too.) They only use Apples because they have too much money and think it's trendy or looks 'cool'. You're just another classic example of having fallen for their trickery.
Yeah, I always found the word "pro" a total misnomer, Final Cut pro is the amateurs version of Adobe Premiere. I too am forced to work on both. Windows x64 systems are kickass with video, even smoother! Love the right mouse button options that I always miss with Mac software.
its not even worth it.. even with a "mighty mouse" there still arent enough options to choose from with a mac. thats because they make everything "easy"-except its NOT easy to be creative. thats because its all based on a guided one-step sort of thing.
thats such a huge boundary in the media industry. creativity is the key. I'm not saying its a bad program [final cut], I'm just saying its not the best like everyone claims.
I hate to break it to you and all the other self-satisfied, half-wit masturbators here, but he's not talking about interviews on YouTube, he's talking about feature films, do you not get that at all? But you can still all go and reward yourselves with the usual self-congratulatory wank in solitude.
I wonder how much time you spend surreptitiously flashing your new little iPhones to everyone. Dick replacement?
Yeah, that tiny ass screen and audio that sounds like a broke ass dashboard speaker in a '72 Chevette really NAILED HIS ASS! Woo. U R so teh win!
Irony: It's not for everybody.
If you don't give a shit about music, art, film or anything other than showing the gadget you can play it on (badly) to some girlie looking for the "woo", fine. But, um.. get real, ya know? : )
I think some of you are missing the point Lynch is making. He's also pretty clearly not talking about standard Hollywood fare. I doubt he'd care about watching something like Superbad on an iPhone. But watching, for example, 2001 on a phone? No matter how clear the sound, how crisp the picture - you're lacking both the scope and atmosphere of a proper viewing.
I've always thought the same thing about watching many films on TV (either VHS, DVD, broadcast, whatever) the screen is too small to show you much detail, plus in a cinema, you are surrounded by the image & sound - so it's easier to be drawn fully into the experience, which means (if it's a good film!) you feel it more, to me. (& you feel used & abused if it's sh*te!)
Now put that thing at a comfortable distance from your eyes but big enough to cover most your field of vision and WEAR SOME BOSS HEAD PHONES IF YOU WANT TO HEAR EVERYTHING-no... EVERY LITTLE... I mean the tiniest sounds and how they echo reverberate or shatter the deepest or most sharpest sounds. You think I'm joking try it yourself and between me and the rest of you, as long as you see all the details your getting what you think your getting if your someone who loves the Iphone.
If you are going to experience a film for the first time you must consider scale since that accounts for much of the impact a film must have on a viewer. For expressionism an artist improvises with his allegory, symbols or metaphors to connect the theme; at times that means shrinking subjects in frames for any subtlety significance etc. that would have been obvious hadn't the film been on a miniscreen.
If you haven't seen or heard video on an iPhone, you can't presume you can make a judgment. I have, and the video quality is quite strong.
Eraserhead is black and white. I wonder how long it's going to take before copies start appearing on users' iPhones and Archos players? (Personally, I'm a big screen guy.)
Brilliant!!

lynch is talking about film and not fucking videos. what contraddiction? a video of somebody talking is NOT a film in fact.

I don't think this person is trying to contridict David Lynch. Relax, enjoy your life. Not everything everybody does is a political statement. If anything you could argue that this video proves David's point. But no bodys arguing. Take some prozac or something...jesus

ahahahha. you made me laugh. I am gonna take some right now. maybe it will make me speak backwards... however, be vigilant! I love films and music and what i see is that their quality is going down day by day.. I don't want to be political but that just makes me angry. ok, ok now i go and get some prozac (+).

WOW
I thought the point was Films were shot to be watched on something larger than a postcard not if Apple makes good stuff or not.

Absolutely fascinating. Does watching a movie in a movie theater preclude wanting to also see content on your other devices? Why can't people be "both/and"??

David lynch edited his last 3 films on an apple computer. That's the dream within the dream that you're missing.
DoctorSensitive 4 years ago
I'm perfectly capable of editing film on other systems. (More and better tools for it out there too.) They only use Apples because they have too much money and think it's trendy or looks 'cool'. You're just another classic example of having fallen for their trickery.

EXACTLY! i edit both mac and pc also, i hate the whole rendering part of final cut.
cptmx 4 years ago
Yeah, I always found the word "pro" a total misnomer, Final Cut pro is the amateurs version of Adobe Premiere. I too am forced to work on both. Windows x64 systems are kickass with video, even smoother! Love the right mouse button options that I always miss with Mac software.

Buy a new mouse you dick
RobinSmith001 4 years ago 2
its not even worth it.. even with a "mighty mouse" there still arent enough options to choose from with a mac. thats because they make everything "easy"-except its NOT easy to be creative. thats because its all based on a guided one-step sort of thing.
thats such a huge boundary in the media industry. creativity is the key. I'm not saying its a bad program [final cut], I'm just saying its not the best like everyone claims.
cptmx 4 years ago
I agree with you? There are more pages than there should be with people arguing the Mac PC debate.
It's what ever works for you personally. I like working on a mac haven't edited on a PC since 99.

I hate to break it to you and all the other self-satisfied, half-wit masturbators here, but he's not talking about interviews on YouTube, he's talking about feature films, do you not get that at all? But you can still all go and reward yourselves with the usual self-congratulatory wank in solitude.
I wonder how much time you spend surreptitiously flashing your new little iPhones to everyone. Dick replacement?

Irony: It's not for everybody.
If you don't give a shit about music, art, film or anything other than showing the gadget you can play it on (badly) to some girlie looking for the "woo", fine. But, um.. get real, ya know? : )

I think some of you are missing the point Lynch is making. He's also pretty clearly not talking about standard Hollywood fare. I doubt he'd care about watching something like Superbad on an iPhone. But watching, for example, 2001 on a phone? No matter how clear the sound, how crisp the picture - you're lacking both the scope and atmosphere of a proper viewing.
bjamieson 4 years ago 6
I've always thought the same thing about watching many films on TV (either VHS, DVD, broadcast, whatever) the screen is too small to show you much detail, plus in a cinema, you are surrounded by the image & sound - so it's easier to be drawn fully into the experience, which means (if it's a good film!) you feel it more, to me. (& you feel used & abused if it's sh*te!)

He probably would. But he doesn't realize that it would probably look great, and sound would be as good or better than most TV.
poikkeus 4 years ago
it's sound must be atmospheric if it is to live up to what already exists but I think those are small obstacles that can be met with headphones.
monolithsapphire 4 years ago
Now put that thing at a comfortable distance from your eyes but big enough to cover most your field of vision and WEAR SOME BOSS HEAD PHONES IF YOU WANT TO HEAR EVERYTHING-no... EVERY LITTLE... I mean the tiniest sounds and how they echo reverberate or shatter the deepest or most sharpest sounds. You think I'm joking try it yourself and between me and the rest of you, as long as you see all the details your getting what you think your getting if your someone who loves the Iphone.
monolithsapphire 4 years ago
If you are going to experience a film for the first time you must consider scale since that accounts for much of the impact a film must have on a viewer. For expressionism an artist improvises with his allegory, symbols or metaphors to connect the theme; at times that means shrinking subjects in frames for any subtlety significance etc. that would have been obvious hadn't the film been on a miniscreen.

If you haven't seen or heard video on an iPhone, you can't presume you can make a judgment. I have, and the video quality is quite strong.
Eraserhead is black and white. I wonder how long it's going to take before copies start appearing on users' iPhones and Archos players? (Personally, I'm a big screen guy.)
