Lil the Dancer seemed like Lara Flynn Boyle jab
Yup.
"Sorry detective. There was a fish... IN the percolator."
In what way?
Lil doesn't resemble Lara as Donna, surely?
Just seemed like a cartoon of her- the pinched face, the look of the actress, the sort of ridiculous/snoody dance.. everything. And it would make sense if Lynch were peeved that she refused to return, considering her role was pretty pivotal to Laura Palmer's story.
Lil didn't remind you of her at all? I can't be the only one.

When did Boyle do that "ridiculous/snoody dance"? Can´t remember...

Franz, she did a bit of a swaying movement at Harold Smith's but I wouldn't call it a dance.
This whole idea is not in keeping with the creative technique Lynch enjoys. I can't imagine he took Boyle's involvement with other movies at this point personally. Everything suggests that he relished the chance to direct a new actress in the role of Donna.
Yeah, that´d be strangely vindictive of Lynch. And I don´t really see much physical resemblence between Boyle and that "mother´s sister´s girl", anyway.

I don't know, Lynch seems pretty rude and harsh to me. His non-answer answers are condescending, to put it mildly. On the second DVD of Inland Empire there's a whole documentary sequence where he praises Diane Ladd just to make everyone else feel inferior and guilty of laziness, sloth, whatever, and Alex Cox (who seems pretty honest to me) talks about how Lynch blocked release of Repo Chick and messed it all up and stuff. Having said that, I applaud a jab at Lara Flynn Boyle, and appreciate Lynch ignoring Kyle McLaughlin for all these years, breaking from him was the best thing Lynch could possibly have done for his art.

That´s probably more like your private fantasy based on whatever biases you might have there.
And I don´t think I´ve ever seen Lynch angry or rude during an actual interview - even though it´d probably be understandable if he were these things on occasion. Must be tough to dodge the same stupid questions over and over again. I know I´d be annoyed if I were him and asked to explain what this "means" or what that "means" time after time...

Robert Loggia talked about how he'd gotten really angry with Lynch over losing the role of Frank Booth to Dennis Hopper (who had apparently already been cast, while Loggia had been sitting for hours waiting to meet the director), and when the role of Dick Laurent came up in Lost Highway, he figured he'd burned that bridge with his behavior. But he said Lynch considered it water under the bridge and cast him...the guy doesn't sound like a man who holds grudges.

I don't think DL holds a grudges anymore (if he eve did in the first place). Julee Cruise and him had a fight about something. Then out of the blue he called her up. They have remained friends since..

Dude shut the fvck up and don't presume to speak for what Lynch would/wouldn't find funny. Stick to opinions, it's all you're worth.

Marxist Bros - so you're saying that you found this scene of Lil funny?
Sorry for getting your goat - but you don't have to resort to pathetic outbursts.
I find a lot of things funny in Lynch's films. Have you seen the last episode of ON THE AIR? Now that was good Lynch humour.
What are you saying? Where did you put my goat?
"Sorry detective. There was a fish... IN the percolator."
I made a good meal out of your goat, Marxist Bros.
Don't get in a stew about it.
Glad we all agree though that the Lara Flynn/ Cousin Lil comparison is total and utter goat's testicles. Welcome to amateur hour!
Do you ever talk to people in real life?
What kind of people?
The observation is just that, an observation. I could be right, or it could be totally unintended. You can disagree, but cut this bullsh*t out like you know what was going through Lynch's head any more than I do.
One thing I find in common with a lot of Lynch fans, presumptuous as hell.
"Sorry detective. There was a fish... IN the percolator."
Marxist Bros -
Fans of any film or director can tend to be presumptuous - big deal. I don't love all of Lynch's films, I'm not his number one fan.
I have enjoyed reading a lot of analysis of Fire Walk with Me because I liked the film so much though. Your Lil observation is just baloney and its not hard to work that out. There have been demented people posting on Lynch boards before so this is nothing new. His films tend to attract delusional types.
You're the one thinking that you know how Lynch's mind works based on a surreal character glimpsed in a movie very briefly. This scene is more like a quick sketch or painting than anything else and Lil doesn't even resemble Lara Flynn Boyle in the slightest. The dancing you were referring to, Lara doesn't do in the tv show.
So can we just leave your obsessive and geeky observations alone now?
First off. It's bologna. Stupid.
And despite all the personal attacks, I don't really see any solid argument against my observation. It very well could have been an in-joke for Lynch. I imagine it would be frustrating for Boyle not to return- probably screwed with the story he planned to tell.
^This is what's called 'evidence' supporting a claim. I notice a funny resemblance, and I see a motive. And I see possibly the geekiest of geeks calling me a geek for saying Lil the dancer looked (to me) like a snarky cartoon of Lara Flynn Boyle. It's not even something worth getting nasty about, is it? It's a pretty innocuous observation, and it's totally possible. Legiondominion...
Nerd.

Baloney and bologna are two different kinds of food. This is further proof that you don't know your onions buddy.

You were the one telling me to shut the F up just because I said your idea was terrible.
It is my opinion that your idea is total nonsense. It just doesn't feel right and that's more than enough evidence for me. It reduces Lynch's film to the level of Porky's 2.
Wake up and smell the coffee charva boy!

And you're worth MORE than opinions?
Maybe you see a mean-spirited jab in the scene because it's how YOUR brain works, as your rudeness here would demonstrate.

I never thought lil the dancer looked like or resembled Lara Flynn Boyle, but the girl sitting with the old man in Paps Diner sure looked like her (to me anyway)
