It's about ... Human Rabbits ... and Poland ... and "The Loco-Motion". It's got Harry Dean Stanton in it. It's shot on home video. And it's three hours long. Go see it. I freakin' dare you.

Since Jack Nance died, I barely have the heart to see any Lynch films...

Lynch recently published a book on his creative process. I'm currently listening to the audio version (read by the author), which manages to be both funny and enlightening.

I haven't seen Inland Empire, but I'm certainly looking forward to it. Say what you will about Lynch's films; the man's an Artist with a capital "A."

Oh, no doubt. I consider myself to be a major Lynch fan, but I have to admit that I found Inland Empire to be a pretty hard slog. It's not for the weak-willed or uncommited. Mulholland Drive is the apogee of coherent linear narrative by comparison.

Oh, man... That means I'd likely never figure this one out if it's worse than Mulholland Drive! I'm still trying to piece all the parts of that one together in to something coherent, tho I think I know what Lynch was getting at.

Maybe.... :freak:

I'm sorry, the only way I'm sitting thru a three-hour-shot-on-home-video is if another hot celebrity loses her 'honeymoon video".

Philip - you're in luck. I hear there's a 3 1/2 hour Rosie O'Donnel tape floating around out there.

That was PERFECT!!! Rosie O'Donnell is, in my opinion, the new gold-standard of 'unattractive' no less than Peter O'Toole was once the gold-standard of inebriation.

Whenever things go HORRIBLY wrong and I have to brief my crew chiefs in language they understand... I tell them, "It's going to be ugly, kids."

"How ugly, Sarge?" they ask.

"Rosie-O'Donnell-In-A-Thong Ugly," I reply.

They get the picture immediately, and I have their undivided attention.
