I rented this last night because I have long been curious about it and WOW was it totally crazy. I went in not having any idea what to expect and it was totally disturbing, but I loved it. I didn't understand 2/3 of what the hell was going on, but I plan on watching it again before returning it.

Has anyone else seen this? It's totally worth checking out. I actually hesitated before going to sleep because I was thinking about the ending and how creepy it was.

The baby and the girl in the radiator are moments I'll never forget.

It's not bad. I find it a little overrated, personally. I tend to not like Lynch very much.

GREAT GREAT movie. and yeah, the first time is the best. Any of you heard the theory about the "baby" being a brain tumor on henry's head or sumthing like that?

I love David Lynch and have never seen this movie. I'm an asshole.

Oh man, I do love that part, though. That song is constantly playing in my head. DJ Shadow should remix it.

I just watched this movie for the first time and all i can really say is, wow.


My initial reaction after watching it made me say to myself, "what the fuck did i just witness, and i think i just wasted and hour and a half of my time." but than as i grew apart from the ending sequence, the movie started to get under my skin.

what does it all mean? is the movie one giant allegory for life, for love for suicide, or is it just a pile of pretentious bullshit? I have never thought so much about a movie after viewing it.

besides the psuedo-plot, the movie was almost perfect. Every shot, every sequence, every sound.

10/10
