Found it more watchable than Inland Empire. Still no idea what that was about. What was with the rabbit sitcom?

Good film. It’s got Billy Ray Fucking Cyrus in it as well, making it extra good.

I think it was the first Lynch thing I’d seen - I remember picking up the DVD (remember those!) in HMV (remember those!) because the theme used to get played at Optimo and I liked it. The first time I watched it remains one of the best film-watching experiences I’ve had, up there with seeing Jurassic Park in the cinema when I was 7.

Quite like the red herring-y list of clues that came with the dvd.

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about those. Stuff like “look at the bedside lamp” iirc.

Was gonna post it but thought it might contain spoilers but I think it just adds to the confusion ha.

they all make perfect sense tbh

:joy: ouch

“it’s total pish but the sixth time you watch it you’ll notice a red lampshade that is connected to…”

you’re alright, pal you can keep it

I can imagine “notice appearances of the red lampshade” being said in Red Room-style backwards speech

Lynch’s magnum opus. Don’t know what its “meaning” is and don’t want to know.

spoiler: the scary man behind the bins knew that internal affairs were setting him up

I’m not sure I can decide. Tough call.

can’t chose one

it’s at least a 3-way…maybe 5-way tie

I can’t decide, though I picked Mulholland Drive on the assumption that it wins out by maybe point zero one of a percent
