David Lynch Makes A Damn Fine Cup Of Coffee
10:45AM Mark Graham | Any David Lynch fan worth his/her salt will know that the only thing that he likes more than collaborating with Angelo Badalamenti is drinking coffee. (Smoking American Spirits is a close third). And as any David Lynch fan also probably knows, David Lynch launched his very own line of organic coffee a few years back. What does this have to do with the price of tea in China, you ask? Well, anyone who has spent some time on DavidLynch.com knows that as talented as he is behind the camera, he hasn’t quite mastered e-commerce yet (for example, the “buy” link on his site is not functional). All of which is a long-winded way of letting you know that if you’ve always wanted to try his signature coffee line, it’s now available at the (generally) reliable Amazon.com. And if you get Amazon GC’s sent your way as much as we do, well, this news oughta be sweeter to you than the cherry pie at the Double-R. [Amazon.com, vid via YouTube] More »

9:00AM Defamer Hollywood | It was cute way back yesterday when we heard that Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage are remaking Bad Lieutenant for a new generation of prurient cinephile wonks, but the novelty of Herzog’s random-arse pairings requires a certain period of recharging to retain maximum effect. Which is perhaps why the potency of his other forthcoming, newly announced collaboration with David Lynch (!) on “a horror-tinged murder drama” doesn’t have us positively reeling with anticipation.
If ‘The Hobbit’ Must Be Made, We’d Rather See One of These Directors at the Helm
2:15AM Defamer Hollywood | Our dissatisfaction at Friday’s news that Guillermo del Toro would inherit the Hobbit reins from Peter Jackson met with a mix of scorn and curiosity over the weekend. “Pony up an alternative, Cochise,” wrote a commenter. “Destroy those two GENIUSES and all we will be left with is Lucas and Spielberg. And that is not a world I wish to live in.” Us neither! That said, if the Laws of Hollywood Franchises dictate that this goddamned movie must exist, we can think of at least five talented directors off the tops of our heads whom we’d prefer over del Toro, Jackson or any of the other usual fanboy fantasy suspects. Tell us your own ideal hires after the jump.
