David Lynch: Thoughts Anyone?

Watching a documentary on director David Lynch. A lot of his stuff I dig... A lot I don't get... A lot leaves me confused. But I thought I should watch the film, because as a filmmaker I love anything about "processes." How an artist reaches their spot in what they're creating.

Lynch is definitely an interesting cat and how he works is contradictory than me, but I appreciate his mind and thought process.

"Lynch" the film (2007) is a mix of so many things... And I'm not sure if it helped or not, but his bold approach to film and art is worth seeing.

An Odd Way of Watching...

I realized the other day that I have started to watch series in a whole different way. I love a great series like, "Men of a Certain Age."

But I realized that what I've started to do is not watch them when they're on, but to record the entire season, then go back and watch the series in consecutive viewings. Now that's great in that when an episode ends, you have the next one right there on your DVR ready to go and you don't have to wait to see what happens next. But at the same time, it changes how the feel of what the series is all about and I don't know if that's good or bad.

I think it really started when I wanted to get caught up on "Weeds." I hadn't watched it when it first came out, so I used my Netflix and went through the first 3 series or so back to back to back to back and boom I was caught up and it was so exciting! For me that was the best way to get caught up and watch everything. I watched it all in just a couple of nights. But now, that has continued into how I watch series now.

Don't get me wrong, I love and support series television and hope one day to work in it because I like the feeling of it, but I don't know if watching a whole series in a couple of nights is what I should be doing or should I just be watching each week and getting so excited for what happens next?

Well I don't know yet... but before I make a decision... I still have to get a couple of more series I have on DVR off the machine first! :)
