Watch Blue Velvet or Wild at Heart or the Elephant Man. Far less inexplicable and far more enjoyable.

I remember watching Lost Highway some time ago. At first I followed along okay, but by the end I was certainly 'lost'.

One of my very favorite movies, but you're right, it's not really comprehensible, per se. I've always thought it was meant to be approached as a sort of cinematic fever dream, operating on its own nightmarish logic.

I'm not really sure what cats would make of it.

You know, I like weird. I bank a lot in weird, actually.
But 'Eraserhead' is on another fucking level, man. If it was a film made entirely for cats, It'd make much more sense. In fact, now you've given me the idea, I'm not sure it isn't.

henry's face made me smile C:
aaaa

Inland Empire is probably the most inexplicable and yet, at least for me, the most satisfying and also the most easy to get into. Weird pastiche of scenes and experiments around the idea of an actor getting lost in a role.

Also the only TV/movies my cat or dogs will watch is the DVD player screensaver thing with the moving logo. Your cat liking Lynch is adorable.

Your icon!
That scene had me smilin' during the movie.
It's supposed to be horrible, but it's almost cute

indeed! :3

"It's really noirish and industrial outside..."

Some of his endings anger me, but I enjoy the ride a long the way. Twin Peaks is a pretty good example; love the hell out of the show, but the ending was frustrating, same with Inland Empire in a way (though I still enjoyed the rest of the film). I think the major thing I enjoy about his work is how uncomfortable and buh-worthy he can make a situation-- like Jeffery's encounter with Frank in Blue Velvet, or the homeless scene in Inland Empire.

I've always thought that David Lynch's whole point was "weirdness for weirdness' sake."

love that kitty paw

A friend of mine once theorized that the main character in Eraser Head is in Hell. Makes sense.

Apparently David Lynch has never heard an interpretation of the plot that fits what he had in mind.

He's no fun, silly director keeping all his twisted secrets to himself. >:C

Wow I actually seen this movie. Very nice shading work.

i only watched it because i read it was a source of inspiration for the original silent hill games. Boy...was i disappointed.

didja try Jacob's Ladder?

naw. i dont think thats streaming on netflixs. I do know they used that as a source of inspiration for sh3 tho

well
enjoy eraserhead more >:L

:/ i thought you were gonna tell me it was better

i actually haven't seen the movie, but from the clips I've seen I imagine that you would enjoy it much more
maybe I should watch it today... :u

In heaven, everything is fine...

Man, that puffy cheek woman. What did she represent? Henry's bliss? idunnoooo

the lady in the radiator's scenes were the only 'relaxing' moments in the movie, and even they were profoundly disturbing.
Also, those little crawling worm things she steps on?
umbilical cords, stolen from hospital dumpsters.

represented his salvation, the disfigured baby-monster is a representation of the baby he forced his girlfriend to abort, and the move itself? Well that's Henry's punishment, he is in hell tempted by an alluring yet all to alien salvation, which he cant quite come to understand. This movie is considered to be one of his most "religious" films.

the pixies did a half decent cover of that song.

OH GOD THE BABY
THE BABY
*leaps out window*

Thats adorable.

nice work.

Gwaha! I love this so much~

It's a mix of themes, such as how industrialization makes people worthless as individuals, with no more value than cheap pencils, stuffed into some tiny bleak place to be forgotten about. The weird worm things are supposed to represent sperm, and the asteroid like ball is the egg and point of conception. The Woman in the Radiator represents his newly sought after dream: A woman who seems to dodge getting pregnant and stays welcoming and cheery throughout it all, happy and inviting. Overall the baby strongly represents a distaste for children, viewing them as disgusting inconvenient things that show up and ruin your life. Just about everything represents some concept, though most being quite bleak.

Don't let any weak stomached individuals watch it. XP

Best explanation I've heard yet!

oo i remember watching that late night in the art dept they were offering to everyone on campus :p

Mister Lynch's films tend to be a tad... difficult, I find.
If you ever get the chance to, watch Mulholland Drive (if you haven't already). It, from what I can gather, is about a woman having an identity crisis. It feels a -tad- more linear in it's storytelling than most of Lynch's films.

In any case, awesome and adorable drawing! : D

tbh I thought Eraserhead was about somethings against a christian religion. Abortion, Affairs, Suicide, etc. etc., but not to mention Loneliness.

The movie in general was fucking boring at first, but when the Chipmunk Lady or Lady in the Radiator if you prefer sang "In Heaven", and EVERYTHING after that, shit got fucked. Weird shit happenin' left and right. It was pretty awesome.

Man that one part where Henry's neighbor becomes a hugs whore, and then she looks back at him and sees Henry with the babies head, that shit scared the hell out of me.
