I'm a big fan of Lynch's films though not because he is a meditator. But then I also like zombie films too. I like dark, edgy films because they are stimulating. I like Jennifer Lynch's films too as they are often even more edgier than her father's. That said, I've watched a few of the new episodes "Arrested Development". I had tried to watch some of the old episodes first but they seemed a little muted being for broadcast television. Then new ones I find funnier and the third one has to do with Linsey going off to India which had some good jokes in it. I mentioned the John Frankenheimer film "99 and 44/100 % Dead" last week as a film that had been shot in Seattle in the early 1970s and I had watched one scene being shot at an abandoned school in the University District. Yesterday my DVD of the movie arrived so I watched it last night. I remember it got panned by the critics and I think the problem was the editing because some scenes run a little longer than needed. I might make a good movie for a film class to edit.
