...not that I know of, Spare Egg.

But nothing stops you from asking him yourself.  You can email your 
question for him at his next weekly press conference to: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Here's a suggestion for the question you could ask him: "Maharishi, 
as you may be aware, the much beloved motion picture director, 
sidha, and ambassador of the Global Country of World Peace, David 
Lynch, used the images and theme of Sapphic Love in his most 
acclaimed work "Mulholland Drive". Is babe on babe action 
acceptable?"

Let us know, Spare Egg, what Maharishi tells you.

Although many of Lynch's film will never be shown at MUM, Straight 
Story, Dune, and Elephant Man were pretty solid films that didn't

Hey, its vedic. I thought MUM was on board with all things vedic.

"Mulholland Drive" is my favourite David Lynch film.

But I would have to agree with the poster who made the original 
comment regarding de facto censorship of Lynch films by the TMO: the 
lesbian scenes within "Mulholland Drive" would NOT endear the film 
to the TMO powers that be.

Having said that, it must be acknowledged that the "This bed is big 
enough for the two of us" scene between Naomi Watts and Laura 
Harring is one of cinema's best lesbian scenes.  Lynch definitely 
knows what he's doing!

>From 1967 or so on Donovan told reporters and concert goers "don't
take drugs", he put raising kids over touring or party lifestyle,his
songs, post 67, were about growth, beauty and all had a positive
flavor, his kids turned out pretty whole and well rounded (Iona Skye
the actress is his daughter), he promoted classic conventional values. 

M was critical of the above?

And Donovan was a hippie because he wore flowerly robes in 1965-6?

All of  this, IMO, points to the danger and weakness in using broad
labels such as "hippie" and even "enlightenment"  M said some things
about hippes, having one thing in mind. Donovan was a "hippie" --
particularly post 67, in ways not much having anything to do with what
M. seems to have had in mind. But the "wierd logic" connects the two,
implying: M was down on Donovan and thought he was a low-life. I see
or have heard of no evidence  of such.

If MM toured the country in an effort to raise more money for the war
in Iraq the people running the "Bush administration" just might do
that.. :-)

Elephant Man was certainly wierd and inexplicable...

Have you read what he says about himself and how he comes up with his 
ideas? While the current "evening with David Lynch" series is really 
a TM promo, he DOES answer questions from film students in the 
audience.

Heh. David Lynch is called all sorts of things by the press, 
but "weird" isn't one of them, after interviewing him. Have you read 
his stated reasons for supporting TM?

BTW, given that he's not a criminal, is famous, considered an 
upstanding citizen by everyone, etc., its interesting that you 
would "latched" onto him as an improper spokesman for TM.

This is known as "spinning".  The fact remains that the current PR
hero of the mov't would not be allowed to screen any of his movies
(except the straight story) on campus, which enforces a strict G-rated
movie code based on MMY's talk in India in 1980 about the dangers of
watching anything "tamasic" on film.  To add to the weirdness, an
award will be given to hippie minstrel god Donovan - MMY having made
clear his view on hippies many times.  

The whole affair this weekend at MUM is like the Bush Admin. holding a
ceremony to honor Michael Moore and Ram Dass.

I have to concur. We originally rented this on VHS years ago and  
began watching it at night. It had such a strong tamasic effect on  
both of us, we stopped the tape and watched the rest the following  
day at noon. That's the only way I could watch it.

Someone here had linked to a video of a demo tour Lynch,  Hagelin and  
Fred Travis were doing at various college campuses. It was humorous,  
but also bizarre. You couldn't help but notice Lynch seemed like a  
Frankenstein character, and when they began wiring this TMer with an  
EEG you fully expected Lynch to beseech Egor/Hagelin to go to the  
roof and adjust the lightning rod for the approaching storms. The  
only thing missing was the screaming female. Lynch also mentioned, in  
recalling his own benefits with TM, how at one time he had a real  
hard time being around other people and that TM had made that more  
manageable. It seemed to hint at some underlying pathology that is  
somewhat obvious already in both his speech and his mannerisms.  
Anyways, one hopes he is healing on some level.

The resoultion to this conundrum might lie in the fact that during one
of these Wednesday press conferences, Bevan Morris made it clear that
the movement does not view Mr Lynch as its representative, but the
representative of art in general and hollywood in particular - i.e.
that his current efforts is a reflection of how CC has and is changing.

I'm not a big fan of Lynch's films, but I think you're
being too moral. What I get is that he isn't afraid to
explore the dark side of his own (and everyone else's)
being onscreen. That may not be everyone's cuppa tea,
but there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

My favorite Lynch story has to do with his offices in
L.A. He owns a classic duplex, with a carport between
the two halves of the building. Naturally, each of the
buildings is an exact mirror image of the other. Well,
he owns both halves, right, so he got to play with
this. His offices are in one half of the building, 
with some living quarters in the other half. And the
interiors of both are exact mirror images of each 
other. The same furniture, and even the same paintings, 
but facing right-to-left on one half, and facing left-
to-right on the other half, that sorta thing. It may 
not be for everyone, but I think that's really funny.

If I were to come up with a criticism for his films,
it would be that he tends to err on the side of trying
to *be* weird and inexplicible, knowing that this will 
result in better reviews from the people who dote on 
that stuff. :-)

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: My favorite David Lynch film

David Lynch has made a career out of producing weird
films that people think are profound. I find his films
to be mildly psychotic and extremely tamasic for the
most part. He is a disturbed man and his films reflect
his schizoid personality disorder. The fact that the
TMO has latched its public legitimacy to this weird
dude is quite sad. I'm sure that Bevan and most of the
TMO has not viewed any of his films. Watch
"Eraserhead" and note the sattvic influence this has
on you!
