Read lots of comments from them saying that Lynch should sue Lana and then they called out Lana for the whole daddy thing and personal life, etc. . Most are really pretentious hipsters, so I really don't care that much about what they say. Actually, most people who insult her are really big hipsters.

Coney Island King Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Clearly she's channeling Lynch in a homage way and not in a "rip off" way. People are so stupid. 0 Quote
Monicker Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Do we really think she is behind the concept and execution or was it some bigwig in H&M's marketing department who saw this as a great opportunity for them? I mean, it is really well made for an homage, quite nuanced and meticulously executed, but for some reason i doubt that this materialized by her coming to them with the idea. Do we know anything about how any of this came about and the chronology, including the recording of the song? It's intriguing for sure. To be clear, i said that i bet David Lynch fans are going to be pissed because you're dealing with a strong cult following (far exceeding hipsters, by the way) of a very established auteur who has created a much talked about, controversial body of work, and along comes a (for all intents and purposes) brand new, mainstream pop singer who is viewed by many as disposable and fake, covering a song, not made famous by but, revitalized by arguably Lynch's most beloved film, for a CLOTHING STORE COMMERCIAL done in a style that is so blatantly modeled after his. We can certainly imagine the shit storm that's coming. P.S. I'm not a Lynch fan. But i do respect the guy. 0 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein
Matt Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 I can't stop laughing from that video you posted. Anyways, I'm a big Lynch fan, but some of his other fans are just - eh, I guess just really annoying, emphasize the "really." I think, personally, Lana did a really good job with the Blue Velvet video. 0 Quote

That guy got shot while giving an interview and still continued it, remarking "It is not a significant bullet." Oh, and a few days earlier he rescued Joaquin Phoenix from his overturned car. 0 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.

In his purple and pink boxers. Hey, i wear purple and pink underwear. But they're real underwear, none of this boxer shorts bullshit. Okay, uhm, you didn't need to know that. No one needed to know that. Anyway... Herzog >>>> Lynch Although Herzog is a bit of a misogynist and a bigot. But he's funny as hell and endlessly entertaining. 0 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein

Well no, she isn' tyhe CEO of H&M, however, they clearly are rolling with the vibe of her music and look which at times can be borderline Lynch. She doesn't need to say anything really, she just acts the part in her own work. 0 Quote
Monicker Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Good point, but here's another question: Do you think the CEO of H&M has anything substantial to do with any of the creative decisions that go into their ad campaigns? 0 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein

Sitar Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 COLLABORATE. He did a song with Karen O. Now he's aware of Lana. That would be wonderful. 0 Quote
