David Lynch’s BLUE VELVET is Set to Seduce You on Blu-ray
David Lynch is a director that’s not for everybody. His films have been described as incoherent, shocking, surreal, and disturbing. And yet, anyone who has seen one of his films can attest that there really isn’t anyone quite like David Lynch. The first film I saw of his was Blue Velvet. I was a freshmen in college and began an exploration of bizarre and weird films that I have continued on to this day. From the opening ten minutes I was hooked. Just as Kyle MacLachlan gets sucked down a rabbit hole of violence, sex, and voyeurism after finding a severed ear in an empty field, I too became entranced by this weird underbelly that lingered under this seemingly normal American town. To this day, Dennis Hopper is one of my favorite movie villains of all time, and not just because we share a common love of Pabst Blue Ribbon. As part of the 25th Anniversary of David Lynch’s 1986 masterpiece, MGM is releasing Blue Velvet on Blu-ray for the first time. Keep reading to find out when this blu-ray will be released and what exciting features will be on this disc. For fans of the film, you might need an oxygen tank for this announcement.
On November 8 David Lynch’s Blue Velvet will hit stores. If that wasn’t enough, MGM has made a statement declaring that the transfer and color correction of the disc was supervised by David Lynch himself; giving fans the experience to see the film the way the director had intended. Though the best part of this announcement is still yet to come. The special features on the disc will include a “few outtakes” and . . . what will surely please Lynch fans . . . “OVER 50 MINUTES OF NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN LOST FOOTAGE!” The long rumored extra footage from the film has now been found. Needless to say, I am completly ecstatic for this release and will be enjoying every demented second of this disc when it gets released on November 8th.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
