While I am a big Lynch fan
I mean I love "Lost Highway" for gods sake, I'm currently watching "Twin Peaks" on the lovely new DVD set etc... he is way off base here IMO. Remember the Father Ted bit with Ted explaining "Close... Very far away" to Dougal?
My TV is 20". It's crap. Having my iPod Touch a few inches from my eyes gives, in regards to size, a better experience than staring at my piece of shit TV on the other side of the room. Yet we don't hear Lynch bitching about shit televisions.
I would never buy a movie in an iPhone exclusive format, but clearly Mister Lynch, bless the mad old fucker, needs a lesson in scale and perception.

but...
Perspective dosnt take compression into account, hes referring to all of the tiny details you would miss. Set design, subtle glances, changes of background scenery, all very important when making a film.
It dosnt matter how close you hold it to your face
a. your gonna look like an eedjot with iphone goggles
b. quality diminishes the closer you hold it
of course im not having a go or anything, each to there own and all that, its just the arty film-maker in me being pedantic, i do apologise. id watch t.v programmes on one but never a film.
