Mullholland Drive.

WTF?

I should have learned my lesson after watching Eraser Head.

*mumbles*

Never again. Never again.

I'm pretty sure the troll thing was from a storyline that was cut after it was made into a film, but left in anyway. I think I remember seeing an interview with Lynch or someone (maybe on the DVD) saying just that. I don't think it has anything to do with Betty or anyone. It's just mental.

and i got mine

Only seen two Lynch movies Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway. Really want to see Twin Peaks series and his other films. For me I think I have got to the stage of wanting to get more from a film, to be kind of moved or think about what I have seen and to be able to reflect upon it.

you have to start with 'eraserhead' adrian. you might not like it, but you wont forget it in a hurry.

eraserhead - thats a good place to start. you wont forget that film in a hurry

Its a big shame that they might not be following up the Twin Peaks DVD Season 1 boxset with the Season 2 one. It was a quality box set, sold well but apparently they forked out SO much money on making the box set itself that they've decided not to do the second season. Irritating. It still has a vague chance of appearing though, and I DO hope it does.

I know what its all about anyway now, I couldn't hold on any longer and watched Fire Walk With Me. I have to say, David Bowie has a very very strange cameo in that film.

I reckon eraserhead is the one you should see LAST, as it really might put you off watching any of his others. It's weeeeiiiird.

And Goatboy, everybody knows what Mulholland Drive was about, so don't be calling me pretentious.

Are you the one round here that fancies themselves as a film critic? I know there's somebody...

That's hardly something a "film critic" would admit is it, that he doesn't get Lynch movies always.
And, Mr Touchy, I said that I wouldn't pretend to understand merely to score cool points with faceless names on a screen.

Of course you "got" Mullholland, how silly of me to suggest otherwise.

He had one of them in Zoolander as well.

Mulholland Drive was quite good.

Goatboy!

How's it going? I mean the teacher training.

I haven't seen you around in a while. Then again, I've been globetrotting for the last couple of months...
