Joshua gets an incomprehensible but strangely entertaining no-prize for bringing us the trailer for the upcoming David Lynch movie, Inland Empire. As long as I can get beyond the whole, "I'm just making this movie to screw with your head, not tell you a story" angle, I tend to enjoy Lynch's stuff. Well, except for the talking cockroach behinds anyway. But 3 hours? Just don't know about that.
Talking cockroach behinds? I must be lacking in my Lynch knowledge. In what movie did he have these? I know that Naked Lunch had the talking bugs but I'm sure you aren't referring to that since David Cronenberg (which I love his movies to) directed that one and not David Lynch. :)
Posted by: Joshua on December 13, 2006 02:47 PMThing is, having giant bugs in a movie is strike one for me. Yeah, I know, might as well put on a pink tutu and start dancing around waving a wand and throwing glitter, but there it is. Then (as I understand it) you put them in a court room. Strike two. Then, one of them turns around and a face is right there in its butt. Strike three. Which starts to talk. Strike, like, three and a half.
See, at that point, it doesn't much matter to me what sorta bug it is. And as far as I'm concerned, anyone who had anything to do with such a thing is suspect. Director or not.

Classic Lynch. Whatever, I'll just play "Silent Hill" some more.
Oh trust me, I'm not saying you have to like the movie, or even watch it (Naked Lunch). I'm just trying to point out that Naked Lunch was not a Lynch film.
Unless you are talking about a different movie, and if so, please share the title :)
Of course Eraserhead has its share of creepy, strangenes with the "baby" scenes that many still find uncomfortable looking at the screens during.
