  • @MrMushroom123

    im better than both of them

  • Don't look for a way or an universal key to creativity, people there is no such thing. It is strictly individual. It works differently to different people, so find your own 'key' put it in the lock and turn the damn lock. I only hope not to afraid of what you might see behind the door. "I saw a beautiful bird descending from the sky.' 'It aint no any bird, just the devil cast from heaven. Damn I knew you were stealing off my nightmare."

  • try fishing on acid.

  • @BukkakeNation try lighting a ciggerette

  • Wow....all I can say

  • Kanye West caught a gay fish.

  • Big fan of the Lynch!

  • "You gotta go deeper"

    I think if Lynch had made Inception it would have been much more realistic in that it would have been like a real dream. Halfway through watching Inception I thought this is a bit silly because it's nothing like an actual dream, because dreams are always weird and nonlinear.

  • @graemeoliver84 It would have been...phantasmagoric.

  • I agree with your statement about Inception. To me, that movie was the worst kind of failure: a great idea realized poorly. The thing I love about Lynch is that he deals in subtleties, and does it so well. I felt that Nolan's miscalculation was that he chose to beat the audience over the head with Inception's themes.

  • @videosfromderelix there are a few mainstream directors who are fantastic. Christopher Nolan sucks a thousand flaming dicks however.

  • @Aepotheosis Christopher Nolan doesn't suck dude! 

  • @SnafuFrank You're right, he doesn't suck in a normal context. But in comparison to most directors ('most directors' being people like Lynch and Kubrick) he's fucking terrible.

  • @Aepotheosis He's not fucking terrible dude, i mean yes David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick are obviously better, but that doesn't mean that Nolan is fucking terrible. The ones who are fucking terrible are Michael Bay, Roland Emmerich, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer and so many others, but Nolan isn't one of them. Nolan is an amazing director.

  • @SnafuFrank I agree, he's not a bad director. He's a step above your average director but he's sure as shit not Hollywood worthy. Burton-tier at best.

  • @Aepotheosis Well that's your opinion, and i can respect that. In my opinion Nolan is Hollywood worthy, but that's just my opinion. I hope that we can both respect each others opinions and not argue over them.

  • @SnafuFrank Uh huh

  • @Aepotheosis OK!

  • @SnafuFrank Alrighty then.

  • @Aepotheosis

    No one, note even lynch and kubrick themselves consider that group "most directors"...

  • It is not so beautiful if we are fishes, attracted by bite put by politicians.

  • what if you hook a fish so grand and complex that you find yourself unable to reel it in? i guess it becomes a great white whale and not a fish...

  • he is genius, yep, my wooden doors says it to me

  • i swear he high

  • 48 ppl need to go deeper! lol

  • Christopher Nolan obviously needed to go deeper.

  • some fish for dinner ? david

  • He's not unlike a scientist of things that are yet to be measureable. Techniques like Transcendental Meditation were used for a long time in various eastern spiritual traditions. It sounds weird to our western material-centric thoughts. "Science is the joga of the west; joga is the science of the east." John Lilly

    The eccentricities that DL embodies seem shocking to some, but are nothing if you zoom in or out. What most of us think we know will be dissoved and scattered all over the place...

  • Throw the fish back in David!!!!!!

  • you gotta go deeper.

    FISHCEPTION.

  • The man certainly knows what he's talking about and he knows what fish he wants to go after and how to do it.

  • I love you

  • An eagle scout from Missoula, Montana? Yessir this man knows how to fish.

  • That's What She Said!!!!!

  • strange stench from my dolphin flipper?

  • See also: Terence McKenna - Fishing in the Dark Ocean of Mind

  • I strongly recommend his book "Catching the Big Fish" to everyone.It's amazin' for people interested in what he says here,and even if it's only 'cause it somehow help you some things within his wonderful works.

  • i'm goin' fishin' :)

  • i mean wutebz

  • We need to go deeper, guys.

  • strange washington disturbances

  • I like to think of David Lynch as a ferryman for wannabe filmmakers, helping them make the transition up to the ''next level''. I don't watch his movies for enjoyment; I watch them to get ideas.

  • @TheAgwoodliffe I do that with any competent and masterful storyteller like Lynch.

  • Ummm...

  • 0:29 that's what she said

    1:03 that's what she said

    1:09 that's what she said

  • thumbs up if you think this sounds like one of woody allen's comedy routines

  • Comment removed

  • Amen, mr. Lynch. Amen.

  • D. LYNCH IS NUTS LOL!! but i love em!

    anyway, i just finished my first short film inspired by D. Lynch and posted it to my channel, so if you guys could please give a few reviews it would help a lot. PEACE!

  • im a huge lynch fan andi hope one day he will explain Inland Empire :'(

  • I don't know about anyone else, but I could've gone for some visual aids like sunnies, tuna, and groupers swimming across the screen. I need him to catch some more Mulholland Drive fish.....

  • what happens if you accidentally catch the wrong fish?

  • @antiGING kiss it then let it go

  • @antiGING you need to know where to fish

  • @antiGING eat it?

  • @antiGING it will bite your head off

  • @antiGING through it back in :)

  • @antiGING goin' for the next one!

  • @antiGING Throw it back in and try again. You never know, that fish might come back again to you when it seems more relevant to you! :)

  • @antiGING you get Twilight.

  • @antiGING That's just nonsensical. "What happens if I catch a fish with a banana instead of a rod?". Wow, deep, man.

  • @antiGING u create a movie based off a video game

  • @antiGING Well, Lynch once said that there is no such thing as a bad idea... 

  • @antiGING more to the point in Lynch's case, what if you catch a great fish but no one else appreciates it or understand why you chose that one?...

  • @antiGING then you. are. FUCKED.

  • @antiGING you become christopher nolan and make an awful movie

  • @antiGING you smoke a blunt..

  • I really agree on this view of ideas... you can't force it, and it never comes when you expect it the most... I mostly get my fish in the gray area between awaking and sleep. I always keep a notepad at my desk near my bed...

  • Thanks so much for posting this!

  • that analogy was really simple, wasn´t it ??!

    peope get too excited about talking eloquently abstract. its like in philosophy in class: über-eloquent-bullshit wins most of the time

  • Very true Mr. Lynch

    

  • what you need is one of those huge nets and I a few sticks of dynamite, best way to catch all those fishy ideas! I hate poetic analogies, they don't mean anything, even if they do come from David Lynch's mouth, he is religious afterall

  • i have his book the big catch

  • this is great advice for ANYONE

  • Metaphors. David Lynch is a good fisherman.

  • THE HANDS

  • Very philosophical. Lynch is king!

  • I like what he says - its a creative process he's talking about - cheers David

  • There's logic to what he is saying. How exactly do you widen your awareness? How do you do all those things in a less metaphorical way?

  • hes the wrost fillmaker alive their like comedeys i couldnt stop laughing while watching losthighway.justin beibers music videos are more believable than this guy with a womens voice

  • That analogy just blew my mind!

  • Listen to Lynch, Lynch knows.

  • knows what i have an IQ of 148 and he doesnt seem like a knowledgable man.

  • @rapist41 Big deal. Who cares about your IQ? Do you really think that makes you special or intelligent? It's meaningless. Those tests are centered towards specific hemispheres of the brain, usually the left portion. It has nothing to do with consciousness, where information and intelligence originate from.

  •  Im special and intelligent

  • Comment removed

  • @rapist41 Anyway, you cannot spell for shit or even articulate a sensible sentence so clearly you ain't all that in the brains department. In fact I'd go as far as to say you sound DEAD FROM THE NECK UP.

  • THIS IS THE WEB hahahahahahahahahahahahahhah the elephant man rules

  • It was in God's providence for me to watch this video, because I learned some important creative-advice from it

  • preach on!

  • 44 people who watched this have no idea how to catch fish...

  • @mrbucket1337 That's great. Let's keep making the same joke on every youtube video until it's on all of them.

  • @Kurasuke This guys are only looking for attention....and thumbs up! :D

  • or me one of the best directors!! The way he expose unknown and make it your own with a beautiful help of Badalamenti music .....Masted peace , every single one

  • for me one of the best directors!! The way he expose unknown and make it your own with a beautiful help of Badalamenti music .....Masted peace , every single one

  • have you read his book? Catching the big fish? I got as my bestest birthday present ever! it lent to a slight modification in my path with really positive consequences! Thanks, D !!

  • Where is this video from?

  • His metaphors do make sense, but they look like they're getting out of hand. Lynch seems to be floundering toward the middle.

    Ideas are slippery fish, aren't they?

  • This is one of the few people I've come across that are actually talking some sense.

  • I'm not sure I've ever seen worse film making than anything this man makes.

    He's pretty popular though so I guess there are people who disagree.

  • @losermonster I am a huge David Lynch fan, but if you think Lynch is bad, the go see Tarantino, now THAT is AWFUL movie making. Pulp Fiction is the epitome of idiocy.

  • @Bassbait I half retract my statement. I just watched Lost Highway and it was about 75% pretty cool. But some of his stuff...I mean, Eraserhead? Elephant Man was horrible. Rabbits? Have you ever seen that short? Sure it's different, maybe it's avant garde. Mostly it's just ridiculous. Very student-like I find it.

    As for Tarentino, I like his stuff but I can definitely see what you wouldn't like about it. Some pretty silly ideas and techniques for sure.

  • @losermonster Eraserhead is classic! Eraserhead is a film that is more about the emotional effect than the logical effect. Actually, a good review is this one on youtube:

    watch?v=yHoGysDrIsU

    Lynch knows exactly what he is doing when he makes his films. He just doesn't want others to know. Stanley Kubrick (my favorite director) did the same thing. He wasn't afraid that people wouldn't like his films. Lynch's films are OUT there, but they have a lot of depth to them if you pay attention.

  • @losermonster watch Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive... not his whacko short films

  • @fathermckenzie1 Cool, thanks

  • things are thiings that catch catch my drift?

  • Comment removed

  • @zigifrojd I think you ARE david lynch!

  • he seems so normal

  • @ReijiNakashi it's because he's completely normal! :-)

  • @Pishtucha .... have u actually seem his movies????

  • @Pishtucha seen, sorry

  • @ReijiNakashi yes... I have. All of them ;)

  • @ReijiNakashi None of what Lynch does would make any sense if he was really strange in person.

  • @ReijiNakashi "I'm picking fish that are important to me' lmao. But srsly, this man is a genius.

  • excellent

  • Comment removed

  • 1:05

    Hehehe... "Coming"! :D

  • Comment removed

  • Valid analogy Mr. Lynch!

  • So when I catch the deeper fish, that's money in the bank?

    And I can cash that in for a title shot anytime I want without having to win a ladder match first?

    Sweet.

  • ahhh i love him.this is basically the recipe for successful good life! you name it, you use this you be who you want what you want...

  • Somebody translate please? I don't speak Lynchian.

  • @aquagrl63 ummm..... it's called a "metaphor"

  • This man is a legend. Also, fish are fucked.

  • the man is a genius

  • 30% genius 70% bats*** insane lol

  • I think Twin Peaks is very good but I have some second thoughts about some of the very disturbing stuff in some of his other movies as for example Wild at heart.Lately I saw a movie by Jennifer Lynch of whom I suppose is related to David, about a cople of psychopaths who make everyone believe they're the FBI agents they brutally murdered earlier.This movie is some of the sickest shit I' ve ever seen in my life and I'm not sure what's it's contributance.As for David himself I both love and hateDL

  • @TheTheultimatelover Fancy that, the last word in "thetheultimateLOVER"'s comment is 'hate'.

  • @TheTheultimatelover Something important to remember about David and his daughter, is that they believe the world is very desensitized- so they use techniques like extreme quiet/loud sound to remove the desensitivity from your ears.. and also ultra dark/ bright screens to do the same to your eyes. This plays on a viewers primal senses and forces most to confront fears and scenes that SHOULD make you feel uncomfortable, instead of feeling nothing at all. They show you, murder -IS- sick.

  • Comment removed

  • @OneJovialSim I thought it had to be something like that because David's quiet a likable person.In my last comment I said I both love and hate D.L.Ofcourse I ment his work and not the person whom I respect very much.There just wasn't enough space.Thanks for reacting by the way...Cheers!

  • true true. when you find out, post it up, but i guess it is open ended. there needs to be a directors commentary to this. ha

  • where is this from?

  • We all have plenty of fish to catch; I've caught too many as a writer. David, your films are amongst some of the most eccentric, bizarre, overty - over the top odd, disturbing, and yet haunting (in a good way) committed to the medium; history has ever seen.

  • "...all things, any thing that is a thing, every thing..."

  • I tried to exit the video because I accidentally clicked on it and i didnt like his look or his voice, but my gosh, he's spittin out Truths! lmao!

  • His hands communicate in ways beyond words. MAGNIFICENT and TRUE!

  • but what's the "hook"?

  • @eplebel desire i think.

  • @drunkblackout27

    no he said that "desire" is the "bait", which is why i'm wondering what the hook represents metaphorically

  • @eplebel Maybe the person is the hook, because their the one catching the idea. Maybe?

  • GEEZ sometimes I think I have better ways to describe ideas

  • Brilliant and yet......that curtain...

  • out of curroisity i wonder what david lynches drug history is like. im sure he isnt using now, but i wonder what he has done. "And if your counciousness, your awareness, is expanded more and more and more...", i had an acid flashback as soon as he said that. hehe.

  • david also is touching on the collective consciousness by suggesting we all have this variety of "fish" available to catch, we all fishing in the same pond. An authentic thinker for sure.

  • awesome!

  • @oggedask No he isnt quoting McKenna but similar theory just different words

  • anything that is a thing...

  • very Buddhist

  • i wish david lynch would stop the transcendetal meditation cult stuff and get back to making good movies again.

  • isnt he quoting Terence Mckenna?

    about going out on the ocean of mind catching average sized ideas in your net..

  • Ok, we get it! Great metaphor with the fishes and all, but then talking about the fishes during the entire time, seriously... not necessary.

  • David is so funny and such a dynamic thinker. His use of metaphors is endless and surgical in execution !

    Long live David Lynch!

  • Comment removed

  • david lynch is great.

  • He sounds like robocop

  • I love him, but sometimes in these interviews, he reminds me of that Farting Preacher guy. He does make the best damn movies, though. Never quite figure out what they mean. That's because he doesn't even know. He knows the images resonate and have some importance, but I bet he's not sure why. Just as well. If he gave us the "answer", it would just spoil the fun.

  • I suddenly crave some sushi!

  • such an amazing man.

  • Finding where ideas come from is the closest we can get to "God".

  • u're the man! =')

  • Ok, I agree with you in this point.
