He so did in a dream i had last week Lady Fay, where a whole Lynch Nic film unfolded throughout an amazing night and I swore i was going to write it all down but didnt..so it vanished from my head and all that remained was this powerful echo and a yearning that you have just encapsulated in a nut shell in your post! ( i won't bore everyone with it again i promise!) but it seems like this yearning is in the collective Nic fan consciousness!

Wow..if his scene was included i the film it would have added a whole new level to Sailor, a more angsty, tormented - vulnerable perhaps - side that we could only really have felt before without it being made this explicit. Truly wonderful!

Take a bite of Lula.....

Too bad you can't remember the dream.  They're usually surreal to begin with but one with a Lynchian slant....omg.......that had to be one helluva dream!

It is actually quite an amazing scene, an aspect of Sailor we do not really see in the rest of the movie. Too bad it was deleted because it does open up new levels, as you say, Lula. Given the point in the movie it falls at, it is a prophetic dream, I guess.

I may have have said this before, but I think the wonderful thing about many younger actors  is how fearless they are in the way they approach their roles, and the choices they make. They take chances and go out there in a most vulnerable way. Their youthful egotism is what makes them shine so brightly to me. And Nic of course, personifies that in this role and his othe roles of his youth.

So glad you shared this Lula, it is a really wonderful glimpse of Nic.

Maybe someday we will get to see all the other deleted scenes, wouldn't that be wonderful!

OH.....I agree Lady T.  I think BAD and also ADAPTATION showed Nic's talents.  In fact I believe Nic should have gotten the Oscar for Adaptation and at the very least had been nominated for the Oscar for BAD.   But this scene......I don't know....somehow, to me, it showcases Nic in a way we rarely see any actors act in these days.   I'm probably not making any sense here.   I'm just blown away by this scene, I guess.

Whoa Girl......you weren't by any chance doing Magic Mushrooms with your cat last night were you???   LOL!  That is one bizarre dream Lady T!   I haven't had a Nic dream, per se in a long time, weird or otherwise.   I have been dreaming of the same dark haired man lately........name of Larry!   LOL!  Who the heck Larry is, I have no clue!  Thanks for sharing your dream Lady T.  I love hearing about people's dreams.

The talk of Captain Nemo probably is what spawned your underwater Nic dream.  What's interesting is what Nic said to you in the dream....

And um....no......I haven't even heard the name of Larry in ages...eons ....even!

It really is heart rending isn't it Lady Grace? I find it is the 3 H's: Heart rending, Horny and Humourous..maybe it is just me but as well as it being heart rending, i find a level of humour in Nic bursting into song in that ultra Nic way that only Nic can do, it brings a little 'crazy' to Sailor that I LOVE big time, something that in the actual movie we see more of in Lula. (an aside, it reminds me of a song Depp sings in Sweeney Todd Barber of Fleet Street?!?)

I am just truly blown away by this little clip, i realised today that my dream from last week of the Nic/ Lynch film was in a way prophetic (a bit like as you say lady T, Nic's dream here is) watching this for the first time is a bit like seeing a brand new collaboration, although it is tiny, it is a gem and everything i would hope for from their collaboration encapsulated! shows Nic's skill as an actor to evoke such a range within one scene, it is also kind of subtle and yet really out there. he emanates, as always.

Lady Trueheart, thank you for sharing your dream, perhaps Bon is right about the Captain nemo link! If you were interested in the universal symbolism, our own face in a dream symbolizes what we show to the world, so perhaps something about showing your self...and being underwater represents an overwhelm of emotion (water represents the emotions) but because you are quite content and calm under the water and other people feature and approach you, perhaps it is other peoples' emotions? i prefer the nemo interpretation though and for the first part... i must be the weird friend wih the cream limo, because believe it or not i have a friend with a cream limo, well it is white!

OH....I'm sorry.  I didn't' mean that Gretchen betrayed him.  I meant that he was afraid of Gretchen because she was so 'good'

Oh gawd.....I'm the wrong person to ask.  It's been decades since I read the actual book.  I'm sorry!  Wonder if there are cliff notes for it???  LOL!
