Quantcast



The above video was culled from a half hour long chunk of programming on the FX network (y'know, the one that brought you the violent, non-Commish Michael Chiklis). Apparently it's a countdown to the premiere of the actual Grand Theft Auto IV trailer, and, predictably, the Internet is sporting an e-hardon the likes of which hasn't been seen since that faux-Britney Spears hummer video a few months back.

I think we all need to step back for a moment and reiterate exactly what this is, before we all start actually understanding what the hell is going on in David Lynch movies; it's a half hour long infomercial advertising an ad. Soon, we're going to be having conversations about conversations we once had, while watching a reunion episode of Laverne and Shirley where Laverne and Shirley watch a reunion episode of Laverne and Shirley.

The end draws nigh.

Hey I, for some reason, actually watched that for about 20 minutes. Then I thought about what my cat would look like in my spartan markIV helmet. Then I went to bed.

I saw that the other night on Spike I think...I was too drunk and too tired to remember but I was sitting there waiting and wondering if the sound was in my head or on the tv. I eventually fell asleep waiting and had this crazy dream about zombies and robots fighting for control of a post-apocalyptic planet earth.

Now that we've talked about this, do you really think I can begin to understand David Lynch movies? Because I'd put that somewhere around "not bloody likely."

Commentators commenting on previous comments IS television.
It is entirely self-referential.
That's why I play video games.

I think I saw this 4 days ago on "the last boss" might have been because fronz bombards me with diggs every wakeing hour, but who knows...

Re: David Lynch movies
All you need to know is that Naomi Watts has a topless lesbian scene in Mulholland Drive. That's all you need to know.

@ ridley80:

You've just convinced me to add Mulholland Drive to my Netflix queue.

You know they kinda did the same thing for Spider-Man 3, promoting the premiere of the last trailer to debut online with TV ads and ads in movies. Not that it's any less mind-blowing.

@mxyzptlk and ridley Naomi gets naked in 21 grams also. No lesbian scene though. Really long nipples...

I am pretty sure that Eraserhead (david lynch) is the only movie that I actually wanted to watch and I shut it off because it sucked that bad

@ ridley,

Naomi Watts also has a disturbingly hot angry masterbation scene in that movie.
That may be worth knowing.
