"What are your thoughts on "Eraserhead"?"

Well?

It's a great film, but extremely wierd.
You've gotta see it at least once though.

Yep, that was me I'm afraid. Fantastic film by one of today's cinema's few auteurs. If you're prepared to work on it its a very rewarding movie. But I'm fighting a lost cause I know - so I won't bother trying to convince you of the reasons its great all over again! It just is.

Yeah, I know all about Chris Mossis and all the work he's done - and I absolutely love it. I saw Jam and Jaaaaaaaaaam when they were on tele and I've heard most of the radio stuff. I got Brasseye DVD this weekend - absolutely hilarious.

But I still didn't like Eraserhead. I probably wouldn't even draw comparisons. Morris is more satire of the media. Lynch is just weird and scary and lives in his mother's basement.

Yes, I was horrified all those years ago when I went to Wales and put on good old Channel 4... to discover some fat Welsh woman in a Playdays style show, speaking utter giberish

And yes, I was horrifed when I got Sky Digital and discovered the God Channel

Watch "Tetsuo" (1 or 2) and try downloading some old episodes of "Blue jam" (a radio 1 comedy show by Chris Morris of Brass-Eye infamy)

If you disliked "Eraserhead" I guarantee you wont like this lot!

I thought it was a load of rubbish, but last time I said that on these forums people wrote massive eesays explaining the technical merits of the film and how it sets a mood so i'll just keep my mouth shut.

Never seen it!

The weirdest film I've ever seen. I saw it a few years back and was completely baffled by it. No idea what was going on.

About 2 weeks ago, I let my friend borrow it and I told him he HAD to watch it. Which he did. He came in the following day and said it was the worst film he had ever seen.

I watched it a few days after he gave it back to me (the second and probably last time) and I still hate it.

...and I thought that I was the only one...

S4C is possibly the worst channel ever. Except the God Channel.
