I just found out yesterday that Lynch is from Spokane- he was born in Montana, but lived a large part of his life in the PNW. No wonder he's so weird.

Ok, I put it in my Queue, and moved it near the top.

No guarantee when I will get around to watching it.





If I was "meh" about Mullholland Drive, am I likely to hate "Inland Empire?" The So.Cal title commonalities make me nervous.

Haven't seen it, iSM, but the term 'Inland Empire' is also applied to the Spokane region. Hopefully, the movie isn't, because you'll likely fall asleep.

Dude! I'll watch anything by David Lynch, I just have to double up my medication first, for proper viewing.

Well, Spokane has to do something to try to appear relevant.

(I have to watch what I say, since I just might end up there. Maybe I should rent the movie as homework.)

THUD (jaw hitting floor)

I'm ashamed to say, the last Lynch film I saw was Wild at Heart.

I watched Eraserhead for the first time in high school - while recovering from a bad bike accident - a dear teacher gave me videotapes of that, A Clockwork Orange, and Koyaanisqaatsi.

iSm - sorry to say that if you didn't dig Mulholland Drive, you probably won't like Inland Empire. The seemingly disjointed and surreal style that Lynch dared only in the last 1/3 of Lost Highway and second half of MD is all of IE. I certainly don't want to give anything away before you all see it, but I just want to warn you: don't look for a plot. There is one (or many) there, but Lynch's experimental narrative style demands (at least for me) two viewings: one passive, just to let it all soak in, and, following lots of pondering and discussion, at least one engaged viewing, just to see how the hell he did it. I think it might be my favorite movie so far this year.

Twin Peaks - Firewalk with me scared teh crap out of me. The "Bob" lurking around just sent chilles.
