Topic: Would you watch this movie?

The trailer is a guy with long hair but it's like wires sticking out of his head, like a cyborg that got shot in the head. His family life is absurd but adorable. He's always confused and angrily shouting in the middle of it his confusing and complex life, which will be the main plot of the movie. The movie is fast paced, will include scenes of the car radio malfunction while trying to order mcdonalds birthday surprise through the intercom.Anonymous B joined in and replied with this 7 years ago, 11 minutes later[^] [v] #965,203
I love this movie. If aliens came here and asked me to show them Earth culture this is one of the things I would show them.

it's more interesting to me now that I know that lynch had just had his first baby jennifer and during that time she had... some sort of leg issues. and wifey issues. it's a great flick. a penetrating surreal allegory on the anxieties of parenthood sickness poverty industry and familial strife. a real masterpiece. great sound work. can you believe he was only 24. a+

David Lynch is such an interesting case study in humanity. I feel like he is one of the people who gets it, but he can't quite express his distinct fascination and revulsion with 'what he is' except via weird cinema that strives to portray the monstrous as normal. He's a weird dude. It's like watching Sarte have a mental breakdown and start spewing cinema tropes out of a massive head wound. It's pretty amazing.

nah, that's how Eraserhead was but he knows what he's doing. he doesn't ever shut the fuck up about transcendental meditation these days. he's written like two books on that and has talked pretty extensively about his relationship with the dark themes in his work and his emotional separation from it. to him the darkness seems more like a fascination. the only motif he uses a lot that seems to really say anything about his psyche is the ol hero's journey of recognizing and conquering the 'darkness within' garbo. then he'd talk about TM shit and the unified field theory. he's kinda nutty but benevolent. his other tropes tend to be just random shit he likes like buzzing noises and telephone poles and road shots
i mean he's not that interesting tho. just an old dude trying to do what he likes to do and succeeding at it

Oh, FFS. If he could only shut the fuck up about TM. You and me both, man. I respect the guy's art, but I can't buy into his bullshit. I admit that he's become something of a parody of himself in recent years. But I can still admire his early work. I really think he tapped into something in between Eraserhead... and maybe up until Twin Peaks?
EDIT: Not up until Twin Peaks. Now that I think about it, Mulholland Drive and Rabbits mights have been his farewell to the real. I'm really not sure. The guy is a fucking genius.

Slavoj zizek is a fan of him. Zizek says his style of making films is where there's a huge contrast to things, fire really really hurts, light is really really bright and so on and so on.
