Trailer?

Is there no trailer available at one month away from release?--Frenkmelk 14:20, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As of November 22, 2006 I can not find a trailer at any of these popular sites: IMDB Rotten Tomatoes QuickTime Movie Trailers --Psychofarm 14:17, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tradition?

Current version says "Inland Empire also continues Lynch's tradition of naming the project after the location where it is set, with the location actually having little to nothing to do with the film itself." One is hard put to see any such tradition in his filmography. Maybe this is a tradition with his working titles before actual release titles are assigned, but even in that case, it would seem to be more accurate to say that INLAND EMPIRE is a break with tradition, in that he will actually use one of these irrelevant place names as the release title. 66.241.73.241

Well, his previous film Mulholland Drive was named after one of its locations, as was Lost Highway (the Lost Highway Motel in the movie). Twin Peaks is also named after the location of the series and the film. 192.5.109.49 19:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But the Twin Peaks location has everything to do with the series, and "Lost Highway" would be an evocative, on-target title for that movie if there were no such location at all. So the "tradition" consists of "Mulholland Drive." (And even that location title is not very oblique, since it's a well-known Los Angeles thoroughfare, and the movie is very much about Los Angeles.) It's the "little to nothing to do with the film itself" that I object to. 66.241.73.241

I agree, I think the article can do without this sentence (because there are a ton of other traditions that could be mentioned), but I will just remove the part about "little to nothing" Diletante 02:06, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

format

a digital video format, or DV? also citation doesnt match up. furthermore, if the movie wasnt shot in film can we create a more appropriate title? --AlexOv Shaolin 01:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CAPTALIZATION

The article should have the title of the film capitalized, as it has became a trademark for director David Lynch to use capitalized text both on his website and on his recent paintings. His characters, whenever he is seen in a film as an actor, also scream, which can be related to capitalization. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beforedecay (talk • contribs) 21:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
