INLAND EMPIRE 2nd American Official Trailer

i don't see much of a story here, and i don't think it's worthwhile to go searching for meaning in a 3 and a half hour movie when i don't even have any idea whether or not the outcome will be rewarding or disappointing. however, i did not need to really think to respond to the film with an emotional intensity unmatched by few others i've seen. and i am impressed that lynch was able to leave such an impression on me (even if i haven't the slightest clue how to articulate how he moved me).

I saw this movie yesterday. I can't say I know anything about the film except that Laura Dern's character gets FUCKED OVER by gypsies.

Yeah. A very unfortunate life to have to live, I'd say.

why?

This flick was shot with the same camera i got at home, the SONY PD150/170.

does thismovie even have anything to do with the I.E.?

Why did they bother making a trailor for this, it probably only aired in like 10 "whole in the wall" cinemas lol.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the movie.

The only trailor I saw for it on TV was on the IFC on the day it went to dvd lol.

I read somewhere that Mr. Lynch chose the title of the film after Laura Dern told him that her husband was from the Inland Empire, which is a large metropolitan area in southern California consisting of three counties. Apparently, Lynch liked the sound of the words "inland" and "empire" together and it was then that he named his film. Can anyone validate this? I'm wondering because I happen to live in the Inland Empire.

Yeah, that's what I heard too. (I live in the IE too).

I just watched this film and found it FUCKING SCARY at some parts.

I recently used a PD170 for a 48 hour film project movie (which ended up sucking nuts). It can look alright on the big screen, but its hard to make it look amazing. It won't necessarily look horrible (good lighting can help with upscaling), but there are limitations with SD. However, it can all be helped (and goes to show the importance of) lighting, composition, good use of the settings, etc. The PD150/170 are beasts in low light, especially if you use manual settings well.
