DAVID LYNCH, about his favorite films

”There are films I would see every other day if I had the time: 8½, Kubrick’s Lolita, Sunset Boulevard, Hour of the Wolf from Bergman, Rear Window from Hitchcock, Mr. Hulot’s Holiday or My Uncle from Jacques Tati, or The Godfather.
I want a dream when I go to a film. I see 8½ and it makes me dream for a month afterward; or Sunset Boulevard or Lolita.
There’s an abstract thing in there that just thrills my soul. Something in between the lines that film can do in a language of its own – a language that says things that can’t be put into words.”

[“I want a dream when I go to a film”, interview by Michael Sragow, Salon.com, october 27th 1999]

****************************************************************

”Ci sono film che vedrei un giorno sì e uno no se ne avessi il tempo: 8½, Lolita di Kubrick, Viale del tramonto, L’ora del lupo di Bergman, La finestra sul cortile di Hitchcock, Le vacanze di Mounsieur Hulot e Mio zio di Jacques Tati, o Il Padrino.
Quando vado al cinema voglio sognare. Quando vedo 8½ poi sogno per un mese, e così pure per Viale del tramonto e Lolita. Hanno qualcosa di astratto che mi cattura l’anima. Qualcosa nascosto tra le righe che il cinema dice con una lingua tutta sua, una lingua che esprime concetti intraducibili a parole”.

Comets Lemmon and PanSTARRS Peaking 
Yuri Beletsky (ESO)

Two impressive comets will both reach their peak brightness during the next two weeks. Taking advantage of a rare imaging opportunity, both of these comets were captured in the sky together last week over the Atacama desert in South America. Comet C/2012 F6 (Lemmon), visible on the upper left of the above image, is sporting a long tail dominated by glowing green ions. Comet C/2011 L4 (PanSTARRS), visible near the horizon on the lower right, is showing a bright tail dominated by dust reflecting sunlight. The tails of both comets point approximately toward the recently set Sun. Comet Lemmon will be just barely visible to the unaided eye before sunset in southern skies for the next week, and then best viewed with binoculars as it fades and moves slowly north. Comet PanSTARRS, however, will remain visible in southern skies for only a few more days, after which it will remain bright enough to be locatable with the unaided eye as it moves into northern skies. To find the giant melting snowball PanSTARRS, sky enthusiasts should look toward the western horizon just after sunset. Deep sky observers are also monitoring the brightening of Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON), which may become one of the brightest objects in the entire night sky toward the end of 2013.
