I got into Lynch way back in the late 80s when Blue Velvet came out. My teenage brain couldn't believe what it was experiencing. So, I talked my friend into renting Eraserhead and when it was over we just sat there, speechless (much like you!), but at the same time, I felt like my subconscious (I seriously spelled that wrong, didn't I?) was working on something. It was so weird. It's like I couldn't get the ideas to the surface, but they were there. <br /><br />I've only seen Eraserhead once since (in the theater with the excellent Elephant Man) and felt the same way I did the first time I saw it. I think Lynch movies are less his films as they are mine. I mean, he knows what he's doing and why, but something else is working and I'm giving myself to his films. I felt that way with Inland Empire. It came out at a time where I was very sad and depressed and I filled in the blanks with my own emotions. For me, the movie makes total sense. And for me, that's how Lynch movies work. I love them!<br /><br />Mulholland Drive is definitely his most linear film, and I adore it, but Twin Peaks is just so creepy and moving. There are very few films that make me react the way Twin Peaks did.Amanda By Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910620012465381103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-61780050389451419902010-08-12T18:25:29.007-05:002010-08-12T18:25:29.007-05:00"Eraserhead" is one of the great "c..."Eraserhead" is one of the great "cult movies" it might still be on display in a museum 100 years from now long after "Avatar" has been forgotton.The Lady In The Car With Glasses And A Gun (circa 1969)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-84391462285693718232010-08-03T20:17:38.288-05:002010-08-03T20:17:38.288-05:00I'm a big Lynch fan (raised on Twin Peaks!), b...I'm a big Lynch fan (raised on Twin Peaks!), but I'll quite honestly say I don't have much of an idea what's going on in Eraserhead. I still like it though, to me it's almost a distillation of the Lynchian film style - more about the mood and feel of the film than linear cohesion. I can totally see, though, how it could just leave people cold. I agree about the message boards... it can get to the point of "You're stupid for liking it", "No, YOU'RE stupid for hating it!" level. This is why I like y'all lovely bloggers.Orielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578279006435039109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-37268496130772122322010-08-03T13:50:57.751-05:002010-08-03T13:50:57.751-05:00P.S.

I feel I need to watch it again. I've also wanted to get into Twin Peaks for a while - need to add it to my Netflix queue.<br /><br />@Tim: I know! I read later about how long it took him to make it and I was like, really??? My guess was ten days, tops!! :)Michele (TheGirlWhoLovesHorror)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03309044766117909683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-2580976665662549462010-08-03T05:51:59.766-05:002010-08-03T05:51:59.766-05:00Ehehe, that's what you get for messing with Da...Ehehe, that's what you get for messing with David Lynch's movies. Your words pretty much resemble mine after I finished watching "Mulholland Dr.". I don't know if you've seen that one, but I highly recommend it.<br /><br />I've gotten more and more involved with Lynch's work recently and have even started watching his critically acclaimed TV show "Twin Peaks" from back in the 90s. It's a great show and can get incredibly weird at times.Andreihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310144292811089076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-32219070105304541642010-08-03T02:02:23.488-05:002010-08-03T02:02:23.488-05:00absolutely brilliant uber-classic, so confusing, s...absolutely brilliant uber-classic, so confusing, so disturbing - terrific!Maynard Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484689288762406307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459781420607928525.post-71493358518489555292010-08-02T20:59:59.012-05:002010-08-02T20:59:59.012-05:00Honestly, I've never been a convert to Lynch&#...Honestly, I've never been a convert to Lynch's work. It's just...too weird for me.<br /><br />I will say this: there are better ways to spend 7 years than trying to make 'Eraserhead.'
