It isn't just about the size of the screen, but you're also missing the sound completely unless your phone is somehow plugged into full range speakers. A cell phone reproduces a small portion of the audio spectrum, and so do the Apple earbuds. You're getting a fraction of the information and impact intended. Therefore, you are not really experiencing the film.
"It's such a sadness" It really is... seeing some of these comments made a me a little bit depressed. I can't believe so many people actually think seeing a movie on a 4 inch screen is an okay substitute to a 35mm film print or a 4K digital projection. This is very disturbing to me.
You can share your content (eg. via AirPlay) whether you're in your bedroom, friend's living room, conference hall, or whatever remote screen is available. This could be a movie, video game, or any app - imagination is yours!
Sure, we have a lot of tech issues to work through - we're getting there slowly but surely!
But it's the same thing but on a smaller screen, I don't get it. Is there a video where he explains himself a little more, "get real" isn't enough for me.
@Sefifis Do you get why consumers have steadily adopted larger, higher resolution TV screens and higher quality audio setups? If not, I'll tell you: to emulate the cinematic experience at home. If you don't know what the cinematic experience is, I can't help you. I personally don't give a shit if someone wants to watch Transformers 3 on a phone, and I can't imagine that passionate filmgoers will find "moviephoning" a pleasant experience, so to me the issue is moot.
I feel like a more cinematic experience would help more with movies that have more action in it or visceral images. I still think a movie like Forrest Gump would get it's point across regardless of what is used.
@Sefifis Vanilla drama, rom-com, perhaps there's not a lot to miss on a small screen, but that's still a lot of money to pay actors so you can barely see their expressions. To me, any movie worth seeing is worth seeing on a large screen. Lynch is essentially saying that while you can look at an image of the Mona Lisa on a phone, it doesn't mean you're actually experiencing it. Clearly though, to people for whom movies are purely entertainment, this isn't really going to resonate.
@Sefifis "No real basis" Are you blind and deaf? I can't fathom how you someone can believe watching a film on a tiny screen is even comparable to the movie theater experience or even a home theater for that matter. I understand there is subjectivity in this world and people can have their own opinions but how is this even a debate? Go watch a film in the theater and then go watch that same one on your iPhone. I DARE you to tell me the iPhone can provide an equally immersive experience.
@Sefifis You're not being difficult. We all bring different experiences to the table. While a large screen is ideal, it's also true, as someone else mentioned, that commuters and flyers have a lot of time to kill, and I'd rather watch a movie of my choice on a tiny screen than something like pan and scan Last Holiday.
@GrooviestPine Well of course there's a difference, you numbskull. My point was that the size of the screen a film is viewed on doesn't make any impact on whether or not you've experienced the film, just as the mode of travel one takes doesn't have an impact on whether or not one experiences travel. Perhaps I should pity YOU, considering that you apparently can't understand a simple analogy. Besides, in this video Lynch is allowing his emotions to lead him to ludditism, which is absurd.
@Aotommo Actually, Lynch is very far from a luddite. The presentation of a film DOES have an effect on its impact (regardless of whether you are simply unable or arrogantly unwilling to appreciate it). If anything, your "analogy" is what's pitiful and only proves you miss the point.
"Now if you're traveling by automobile, you'll never in a trillion years experience travel. You'll think you have experienced it, but you'll be cheated! It's such a sadness that you think you've actually traveled in a fucking automobile. Get real."
@Aotommo if you seriously can't see the difference between watching a movie in a theater and watching it on a phone then i pity you. comparing it to driving an automobile doesn't even make sense.
@zirtapot57 he didn't at any point say iPhone. Any video playing phone is a culprit. This video is just twisting lynch's sentiment to be against iPhones. I don't actually know anyone who'd watch an entire film on their phone so from my perspective lynch is assuming a phones capability is what it is used for.
Watching a movie on a cellphone instead of in a theater is like having the chance to eat pheasant under glass at a four-star restaurant in PARIS and deciding to eat at Denny's instead.
I agree that old people talking about technology is funny...I also think David Lynch is probably the hippest old dude around and yeah he's right!!!!!! What a talent he is!!!!
It is ironic that in the era with the best video and audio, so many people choose to watch content on a tiny 5" screen. I agree with the top comment, doing so reduces the experience to that of fast food. Movies were meant to be watched on a large screen with fully immersive surround sound.
An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was captured on film. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled "SUDDEN PORTHOLE", which is currently parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it's under the George Noory video).
I'm not selling anything...I'm just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.
My BLOG contains the peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "Sam Zurick" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!
it might indeed be unreal and not the best but it's good entertainment, if i wanna experience the true magic of a movie i won't watch it on anything but a big screen.
@christophedetiege It has nothing to do with magic. David lynch makes hyper-surreal art movies. if you're watching one of his movies on a phone, you're doing it wrong. also, Steve Jobs is your profile picture?
@christophedetiege oh haha sorry. i don't think there's enough to argue about here. you can watch movies on your phone if you want. i won't shit on your parade.
Yeah, motivatdguy2000, Now we know you're a FFFFucking MOTIVATED ;) I dind't heard you can't experience the film in the way YOU WANT TO, but you will be cheated anyway. It is obvious. Your love for stupid machines is providing you, ehm, maybe, uh, some allucinations about PRETENTIONS. Get a fucking dictionary. [[RECOMMENDATION OF THE DAY]] and don't try to come around and fuck with my english errors or something. By the other side, I think it can never be the same watching a film at home...
@motivatdguy2000 Pretentious much, Mr. Lynch? How about I experience the film the way I want and you make a movie that makes fucking sense"
If David Lynch was being a pretentious snob (which he was not), all I can say is thank god for snobs like him. Also he did not say anything about your right to watch the film how you choose, he merely said you are deluding yourself if you believe you truly experienced it. by watching on some tiny phone screen.
If you have performed an action with poor conditions you can not be sure that you have experienced the full potential of its capacity. However, if you have felt affected by emotions related to the action, you can be certain that you have experience something.
Though if you watch a movie on your television at home, how do you know that you are experiencing its full capacity?
@Chrisflod Surround sound, a darkened room and a relatively big screen, I'd say you will experience it adequately, providing there are no interruptions from your FUCKING telephone.
People who skim creative media like film or music in half-attentive states - lily-dipping and never fully respecting anything of the artist's creative work - are kidding themselves, they are missing something. IMMERSIVE experience.
So maybe micro-media devices are bullshit for watching movies that have any texture, dimension or atmosphere. You can still watch cheesy comedies and chick movies.
Completely true though. The experience of watching a movie on a cellphone is completely different from watching it on a tv or in a theater. It might be fine if you are just watching stupid comedies, but any movie with depth should never be watched on a smartphone
Want to watch a movie? Watch it in a theater or at home. Want to listen to music? Listen to it in a studio or in your car. Want to talk to someone? Call them on the telephone or visit them. Want to play scrabble? Find some friends and play scrabble. Otherwise you shouldn't bother. Whatever you do, don't buy an overpriced iPhone because someone with skinny jeans, Drew Carey glasses and a beard tells you to.
@Hoopermazing I'm always glad now that I didn't say stupid shit like that when I was not older. At first I felt it was unfair that I had treated others with dignity when older people looked down on me, but then I realized that if I had dissed someone for their age, I'd deserve the payback. Karma's a bitch friend. Wise up.
@unholyimage Go fuck yourself. I'm as old as you are, and I don't give a flying fuck about either your life experiences or your sense of propriety. David Lynch is a Luddite and his anti-phone outburst is as pathetic as any other cantankerous alter cocker yelling at kids to get off of his lawn.
@Hoopermazing I see, it was like a member of an ethnic group using racist terms against those of the same. As for propriety, I made no mention of that. Simply respect. But I can see now that you don't consider it a value, just as you consider hurling raw prejudice a valid way of getting across a real point. No more energy from this side.
You should learn to give a fuck about more things, otherwise one day someone might be compelled to force you to give a fuck. Actually, disregard that. Keep talking.
When David Lynch uses the word "Fuck" it always holds a lot of power behind it because he doesn't use it that often. The same goes for his movies, When Laura Dern stars swearing in Inland Empire, it's very shocking because it doesn't seem like something her character would do. Just an observation.
You can't really SEE a film unless you've watched it the way it was INTENDED to be seen. Movie watching used to be a holy experience, cinemas were cathedrals, and for 2 hours you were completely immersed in an experience unlike any other. When you watch a movie on your portable device in an airport terminal, you've just reduced the whole thing to yet another form of quick consumption, like a scarfing down a fucking cheeseburger. It's an insult to the creators.
I don't have a phone that I can watch things on and If I did, I probably wouldn't watch movies on it. But WHY is it a problem? Really? The screen is small. That's the only thing. If I watch it on my laptop, does he think I'm not experiencing it? What about my home tv instead of the theater? What if I see a play version? What is his problem.
@Alimaria - I don't have a phone that I can watch things on and If I did, I probably wouldn't watch movies on it. But WHY is it a problem?
The problem is that it lower the bar even further. My prediction is that the next 10 years will see an epidemic of cheaply made disposable films, TV shows and music. Download (or stream), watch, delete, forget, and repeat
Uh, wait? What? You can't experience a movie on a phone? Er.. Why? Cause the screen is smaller? What makes the experience any difference from my phone to my TV?
@thecruxofthematter2 First of all I feel compelled to point out the absurdity of dismissing an artist based on a segment of his audience; secondly, I don't think that his work is meant to be rigorously and intellectually analyzed, not all art is. You might try watching one of his films all the way through with an open mind. If you don't get it, fine, but that doesn't mean that no one does.
@thecruxofthematter2 Well you can call him a phony all you want but the fact is his films are fascinating to plenty of people. Just because it doesn't do it for you doesn't mean you get to dismiss it as invalid.
for the cinema-illiterate out there, he's not just referring to size of a screen.. that's part of it. he's referring to the communal experience of the theater, and the true motion picture of celluloid over the digitized bullshit of a computer/phone screen. i completely agree. movies are meant to be engaged with a total submission... you have to give yourself to its reality for two hours. this is why i never rip movies off the net. not because of finance or legality, but because theater trumps.
@Fundamenski Well, I don't think he's hating about this "digitalized bullshit". Of course, nothing is as good as a theater (I would visit it more often, if I wouldn't have to drive so far to find one, where they don't just show fucking dubbed movies), but there is nothing bad about renting or buying a movie online and watch it from your computer on good sized screen. (He actually said in an interview, if he would get an idea for a new series, he would make it for the internet and not for TV.)
@MisterZteel fair opinion, i just don't happen to agree with it. for me, there's no substitution for the cinema. the communal feel, the way the audience affects how you react to a certain shot or line, the scratchiness of the celluloid. you can't beat it. don't get me wrong, i'm not saying watching a rip online or whatever looks bad... it can look pristine. but like i said, there's more to it than visual quality. it's about the experience.
@Fundamenski I absolutely agree, the theater is the best place for the ultimate movie experience. I was just saying that there is a difference to watch a movie on a phone (which is stupid imo) and watching a movie on a good sized screen at home from your computer. In fact this new digital film world is a great thing (and I'm not talking about that 3D bullshit). And like I mentioned I would love to go to the theater more often, if they wouldn't destroy the films with dubbing here in Germany.
@psp4445 I think your missing the point, why the hell would you want to watch a movie "on the go", other than that's what apples marketing team wants you to think is the cool thing to do.
How can you possibly feel a decent movie "on the go"?
@psp4445 fair enough, each to their own I suppose.
There are always a million and one things I'd rather be doing than trying to watch a movie on a screen the size of my hand, but that doesn't invalidate someone else's desire to wile away 2 hours doing just that.
My main point really was what I think Mr Lynch was getting at, you can't fully appreciate the movie on such a limited medium... though, if you're just doing it to kill time then you're probably not overly concerned with subtleties.
I understand that you would rather not watch a film on an iPod, phone, PSP, etc and I respect that.
And yes I do agree with Lynch on that note if I am watching a film for the first time the last place I would watch it is on a phone, however if it is a movie that I have seen a bucnh of times, then I would put it on my iPod and watch it wherever and whenever.
Agree with him. todays phones pisses me of. People and thier goddamn phoneshit everywhere. Now listen to music is no problem for me, but going to internet on them is just very sad....people are far to addicted today.
For all you iTards who equate quality with resolution:
While it might be more convenient to watch pr0n on-the-go, it's not the filmmakers' intended viewing environment. Unless it is. Or maybe you don't give a rat's ass about shared experience. Any reason besides, "Image quality's just as good," really. Handheld screens are 2 orders of magnitude less than movie screens. The same ratio of your dick to mine, according to your significant other. That change in scale fundamentally augments the event.
lol iphone owner = mindless drone , ohhh mass media advertising tells you how to live and sets ur mind on what is cool and what u should wear and how you should behave and what image you want to project.. like a baby to a mothers nipple ur mind is to the Corporation's products ..mental slave and cash cow milked of freedom and thought.....
lol fuck u i watch my movies pirated on my i phone best quality bitch hahahahaah watching movies on the go while u pay renting a movie watching it on your tv to return it the next day now thats sad lol
@marvincandle815 Finally someone agrees with me, Inland Empire was one of the ugliest movies I've ever seen. And not "Eraserhead" surreal ugly, I mean it looked like a home movie.
It isn't just about the size of the screen, but you're also missing the sound completely unless your phone is somehow plugged into full range speakers. A cell phone reproduces a small portion of the audio spectrum, and so do the Apple earbuds. You're getting a fraction of the information and impact intended. Therefore, you are not really experiencing the film.

@motivatdguy2000 Pretentious much, Mr. Lynch? How about I experience the film the way I want and you make a movie that makes fucking sense"
If David Lynch was being a pretentious snob (which he was not), all I can say is thank god for snobs like him. Also he did not say anything about your right to watch the film how you choose, he merely said you are deluding yourself if you believe you truly experienced it. by watching on some tiny phone screen.

If you have performed an action with poor conditions you can not be sure that you have experienced the full potential of its capacity. However, if you have felt affected by emotions related to the action, you can be certain that you have experience something.
Though if you watch a movie on your television at home, how do you know that you are experiencing its full capacity?

@Chrisflod Surround sound, a darkened room and a relatively big screen, I'd say you will experience it adequately, providing there are no interruptions from your FUCKING telephone.

People who skim creative media like film or music in half-attentive states - lily-dipping and never fully respecting anything of the artist's creative work - are kidding themselves, they are missing something. IMMERSIVE experience.
So maybe micro-media devices are bullshit for watching movies that have any texture, dimension or atmosphere. You can still watch cheesy comedies and chick movies.

Completely true though. The experience of watching a movie on a cellphone is completely different from watching it on a tv or in a theater. It might be fine if you are just watching stupid comedies, but any movie with depth should never be watched on a smartphone

Want to watch a movie? Watch it in a theater or at home. Want to listen to music? Listen to it in a studio or in your car. Want to talk to someone? Call them on the telephone or visit them. Want to play scrabble? Find some friends and play scrabble. Otherwise you shouldn't bother. Whatever you do, don't buy an overpriced iPhone because someone with skinny jeans, Drew Carey glasses and a beard tells you to.

@Hoopermazing I'm always glad now that I didn't say stupid shit like that when I was not older. At first I felt it was unfair that I had treated others with dignity when older people looked down on me, but then I realized that if I had dissed someone for their age, I'd deserve the payback. Karma's a bitch friend. Wise up.

@unholyimage Go fuck yourself. I'm as old as you are, and I don't give a flying fuck about either your life experiences or your sense of propriety. David Lynch is a Luddite and his anti-phone outburst is as pathetic as any other cantankerous alter cocker yelling at kids to get off of his lawn.

@Hoopermazing I see, it was like a member of an ethnic group using racist terms against those of the same. As for propriety, I made no mention of that. Simply respect. But I can see now that you don't consider it a value, just as you consider hurling raw prejudice a valid way of getting across a real point. No more energy from this side.

When David Lynch uses the word "Fuck" it always holds a lot of power behind it because he doesn't use it that often. The same goes for his movies, When Laura Dern stars swearing in Inland Empire, it's very shocking because it doesn't seem like something her character would do. Just an observation.

You can't really SEE a film unless you've watched it the way it was INTENDED to be seen. Movie watching used to be a holy experience, cinemas were cathedrals, and for 2 hours you were completely immersed in an experience unlike any other. When you watch a movie on your portable device in an airport terminal, you've just reduced the whole thing to yet another form of quick consumption, like a scarfing down a fucking cheeseburger. It's an insult to the creators.

I don't have a phone that I can watch things on and If I did, I probably wouldn't watch movies on it. But WHY is it a problem? Really? The screen is small. That's the only thing. If I watch it on my laptop, does he think I'm not experiencing it? What about my home tv instead of the theater? What if I see a play version? What is his problem.

The problem is that it lower the bar even further. My prediction is that the next 10 years will see an epidemic of cheaply made disposable films, TV shows and music. Download (or stream), watch, delete, forget, and repeat

@thecruxofthematter2 First of all I feel compelled to point out the absurdity of dismissing an artist based on a segment of his audience; secondly, I don't think that his work is meant to be rigorously and intellectually analyzed, not all art is. You might try watching one of his films all the way through with an open mind. If you don't get it, fine, but that doesn't mean that no one does.

@thecruxofthematter2 Well you can call him a phony all you want but the fact is his films are fascinating to plenty of people. Just because it doesn't do it for you doesn't mean you get to dismiss it as invalid.

for the cinema-illiterate out there, he's not just referring to size of a screen.. that's part of it. he's referring to the communal experience of the theater, and the true motion picture of celluloid over the digitized bullshit of a computer/phone screen. i completely agree. movies are meant to be engaged with a total submission... you have to give yourself to its reality for two hours. this is why i never rip movies off the net. not because of finance or legality, but because theater trumps.
Fundamenski 4 months ago
@Fundamenski Well, I don't think he's hating about this "digitalized bullshit". Of course, nothing is as good as a theater (I would visit it more often, if I wouldn't have to drive so far to find one, where they don't just show fucking dubbed movies), but there is nothing bad about renting or buying a movie online and watch it from your computer on good sized screen. (He actually said in an interview, if he would get an idea for a new series, he would make it for the internet and not for TV.)
MisterZteel 4 months ago
@MisterZteel fair opinion, i just don't happen to agree with it. for me, there's no substitution for the cinema. the communal feel, the way the audience affects how you react to a certain shot or line, the scratchiness of the celluloid. you can't beat it. don't get me wrong, i'm not saying watching a rip online or whatever looks bad... it can look pristine. but like i said, there's more to it than visual quality. it's about the experience.
Fundamenski 4 months ago
@Fundamenski I absolutely agree, the theater is the best place for the ultimate movie experience. I was just saying that there is a difference to watch a movie on a phone (which is stupid imo) and watching a movie on a good sized screen at home from your computer. In fact this new digital film world is a great thing (and I'm not talking about that 3D bullshit). And like I mentioned I would love to go to the theater more often, if they wouldn't destroy the films with dubbing here in Germany.

@psp4445 fair enough, each to their own I suppose.
There are always a million and one things I'd rather be doing than trying to watch a movie on a screen the size of my hand, but that doesn't invalidate someone else's desire to wile away 2 hours doing just that.
My main point really was what I think Mr Lynch was getting at, you can't fully appreciate the movie on such a limited medium... though, if you're just doing it to kill time then you're probably not overly concerned with subtleties.
audioaddict2000 4 months ago

Well you can't please everyone.
I understand that you would rather not watch a film on an iPod, phone, PSP, etc and I respect that.
And yes I do agree with Lynch on that note if I am watching a film for the first time the last place I would watch it is on a phone, however if it is a movie that I have seen a bucnh of times, then I would put it on my iPod and watch it wherever and whenever.

For all you iTards who equate quality with resolution:
While it might be more convenient to watch pr0n on-the-go, it's not the filmmakers' intended viewing environment. Unless it is. Or maybe you don't give a rat's ass about shared experience. Any reason besides, "Image quality's just as good," really. Handheld screens are 2 orders of magnitude less than movie screens. The same ratio of your dick to mine, according to your significant other. That change in scale fundamentally augments the event.
