    This cuts out the funniest part. As Sammy walks out of the office, the camera picks him up on a stairway and follows him as he walks into a vanishing point with the horizon dead in the center of the frame. It holds and after a second the camera nervously reframes so the horizon is at the bottom.

    Laura Dern: “I said [to Lynch], ‘I’ve always wanted you [and Spielberg] to be friends. You remind me of each other in such completely different ways,’” Dern says. “And David said, ‘It’s true. We have this thing in common. We have a vision and we have to make our vision. Steven goes out there and he has an idea, and a million people have that same love of that vision.’ And he goes, ‘It’s the same with me.

      Eh, it's not going to get any awards, it's just a one-scene bit. Amusing, but not enough to take away the prize from more complex and longer roles. Lynch is a good if limited actor - much like Martin Scorsese and Werner Herzog, he probably would have developed enough to have had a career as a thespian if that's what he'd wanted and worked on it but I think most of us are glad that all of them have devoted most of their time to making films instead.

    There's a great interview with Maureen O'Hara where she waxes lyrical about what a mean, vindictive and manipulative SOB Ford was to his actors and friends. But still and all, she said, they all loved him deeply and still missed him terribly. She then choked up, broke down and couldn't finish the interview. How magically Mr. Spielberg captured the mysterious dichotomy (based on his own actual experience) of this complex man and brilliant artist. An astounding scene truly nailed by David Lynch.

Lynch's only conditions for being in the film is that Cheetos has to be on the set, and that he'd be given his costume early.
