My (multi-part) question was (or would have been): is the film being projected digitally or via film transfer? Do you consider the video-to-film transfer as a regrettable necessity (most theaters not being equipped for digital projection) or does the generation loss inherent in the process serve your aesthetic? Based on his answer, Lynch seems partial to digital projection, but embraces the imperfections that can result when transferring video to film. Good call on your part.

25% probability - you were going to ask about self distribution.
0% probability - “Can you explain what happens when a person starts practicing Transcendental Meditation?”

I didn't realize he was doing a book signing as well. He touches on TM but more importantly, he answered the question I had planned on asking him at the Q&A next week. http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid%3A437367 This brief interview with Lynch just came out today.

I can't fault you for buying the book and I don't think any less of Lynch but Transcendental MeditationTM (or TMTM) is one of those things that for many reasons drives the needle of my bullshit detector straight into the red zone. The fact that it's trademarked is not least among those reasons. I suppose next they'll be telling us that the spiritual revolution will not be copyrighted. PS - Wild At Heart is probably my least favorite Lynch film as well but it makes for an interesting companion piece to Industrial Symphony No. 1.
