If you've seen the movie, its hard to believe this could have been an official movie poster.

    funnily enough it is based on a deleted scene. BV with deleted scenes reincorporated is wild as fuck. It goes from being overtly suggestive to egregiously illustrative.

    Good to know. Off to find Lynch's Official Extended Cut for viewing later.

    Edit: Internet Archive has it. https://archive.org/details/david-lynchs-blue-velvet-extended-cut-720p

    the thing with Lynch's extended fan edits (excluding Dune) is that you can see why Lynch settled on the final version, neither Blue Velvet, nor Wild at Heart, nor Fire Walk With Me, nor Inland Empire really benefit from all the extra stuff added back in. Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart just get too sleazy for the hell of it while FWWM and Inland Empire fall apart and starts meandering too much. Dune fan edit is top tier though.

    As Tim Gunn says, always use your 'editing eye.' Critical to all good design. --I avoided the fan edits, but was eager to see Lynch's extended cut. You were right on target with the addition to the whole. But I enjoyed all of it. The Slow Club experience was mostly left out of the theatrical cut. But was so Lynch. Opening with the dog eating from his bowl, to the chicken and egg performance... cinematic treasure. Thanks again for the heads up.

    that's Lynch magic for ya - film proper or a deleted scene - hits like a motherfucker. I for one prefer the pilot version of Mulholland Drive because it literally goes nowhere but just keeps on piling on world establishing to an absurd degree - jenga style. Inland Empire later fully implement this approach within finite storytelling and it is absolutely majestic.

    Agreed. I would be interested in seeing the pilot of Mulholland Drive as well, will give a search.

    Edit: It IS a pilot. Didn't realize it was originally intended as a television series.

    there is a pilot version of the movie and it is somewhat different because it establishes things to come but resolves absolutely nothing - the movie version took the most complete narrative strands and tied them up while dropping or non sequitiring the rest in-between. The pilot version just keeps on building and building and building and then it's over and it's just this massive overwhelming mystery thing that will never come to resolution.
