David Lynch, 2/9.

Let's open this David Lynch entry with a Video Q&A just up at the new main site. It took place in January on the occasion of a screening of Inland Empire at the Smith Rafael Film Center. Nine Q's from the Rafael's Director of Programming Richard Peterson, and of course, just as many A's.

Jason Scheunemann has been directing a doc about Lynch since December 2004. His blog, DAVIDLYNCHDOC2007, is quite a browse. Also via Ray Pride: Neva Chonin talks pets with Lynch for the San Francisco Chronicle, where Walter Addiego writes, "The film is dazzling and bewildering in equal measure."

Updated through 2/14.

Not a bad idea at all: "An exquisite corpse review of Inland Empire" from San Francisco Bay Guardian film critics Michelle Devereaux, Cheryl Eddy, Max Goldberg, and Johnny Ray Huston.

For MovieMaker, Daniel Nemet-Nejat talks with Lynch about "his conversion to video, working without a story and his new role as a mini-mogul" and to Laura Dern about her reading of Inland Empire.

Jery Lentz notes that you can listen to Lynch talking TM at the Maharishi University of Management site.

Updates, 2/11: Mark Swed in the Los Angeles Times on Lost Highway, the opera: "Olga Neuwirth, a 38-year-old Austrian, is the composer. She fashioned a libretto with the Austrian novelist and winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize, Elfriede Jelinek. A deep, disturbing film has met its operatic match."

"Interesting that the most terrifying film in years comes from an American, and David Lynch at that," writes Adam Balz at Not Coming to a Theater Near You.

Updates, 2/13: Mark Kermode conducts the lengthy NFT/Guardian interview with Lynch.

Jim Emerson reminds me that "The Lynch Mob" is off and running at Vinyl is Heavy.

Update, 2/14: Ryan Wu has a "drive by review."
