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.

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.)

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

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

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.

Did you watch the TV series? "She's dead, wrapped in plastic!" My mom and I still quote that one. It had some wacky, creepy moments, and "Bob" was in many of them. Firewalk with Me crossed ick-factor lines the TV show could not. "There's a fish in the percolator." Lynch is definitely a creative wack job.

That's so sad if it's true.

I too hope they are just rumors. I love him. Take care Owen!

What is the deal with Hannah Montana? I keep catching a minute of the show here or there. Her name isn't Hannah, but then they talk about meeting her. Is she a celebrity? I don't get it, but then, do I really want to?!

I still have not seen HSM 2 so I cannot compare the two. I enjoyed #1 much better the second time. The first time I watched it with 32 fifth graders who were quoting the entire movie!

Hannah Montana is her rock star secret identity. See she's a regular student by day, rock star by night. She wears the wig to disguise herself.

I saw Kinky Boots last night. I really enjoyed it. Chiwetel Ejiofor did a fantastic job as the drag queen.
