Carpenter said the intent at first was to remake "The Thing from Another World", but they decided not to out of love for the original. Instead they based it on "Who Goes There as you say, which TTFAW has very little in common with.

According to Dave Lombardo he has a brain like a hazelnut.

I liked how they never explained the sheriff and his powers in American Gothic. They also had a way of showing signs of ambiguity and even genuine goodness to his character just when you thought you had him figured out as absolute evil, particularly in the final episode. I have a feeling much of it wouldn't hold up at…
The way it shows up when the scene has already started is another, it just doesn't work at all. All this combined with its pretentiousness and the godawful intro we just saw always kills me.
There were lots of people worse than Walt in BB. Tuco, the bell guy, the child murdering drug dealers, uncle Jack and Todd to name a few.
The Twin Peaks giant and the Mulholland Drive Albino team up to give people cryptic warnings and advise, with a sort of good cop/bad cop dynamic going on. Lynch, are you listening?
Please take @Dloburns:disqus's advice and watch the original first.
The Ash reveal is actually the moment when people back then vomited, fainted or ran out of the theater. It's disorienting and bizarre, and comes out of nowhere to people who know nothing about the movie.
The first time I saw FWWM I thought it was a mess with some great scenes, second time I thought it was significantly better, third time I thought it was an all out masterpiece. It's one of the most misunderstood and under-appreciated movies of all time, but it's gotten a major re-appraisal from fans and critics in…
I still can't bring myself to watch Inland Empire again because of this scene. It freaked the hell out of me like nothing else.
The scene was based on a story Angelo told Lynch, and he couldn't picture anyone else making the face Angelo did when telling it.
Tom Skarritt was the only well known actor in the cast at that time as well, people naturally assumed he would be the hero. Scott says the simple reason Ripley was chosen as the survivor was that it seemed unlikely.
The rest of Ringu is in many ways weaker than The Ring, but the scene where she gets out of the TV is way, way better in the original.
Lynch does not get enough credit for revolutionizing sound design in movies, starting with Eraserhead.
The Bulls and the Bees was awesome by the way, one of the best things they ever did in my book.
That is surprising, the trailer made it look terrible. I checked out the 'reception' section on Wikipedia, it even won 'Best International Feature' at the Montreal Fantasia Festival.
Whoops! Sorry, English is not my first language.. Obviously I meant vividly.
Because we only remember the good parts, mostly the opening scene, Carrie's mother and of course the ending. I remember these parts lividly, but literally not a single thing from the rest of the movie.
The only reason any of these pointless, lazy horror remakes are made is money. It's an easy way to turn a profit. It's a known property, the story is already there and the formula has proven successful in the past.
