Proof David Lynch Isn't Insane

I watched Mulholland Drive and thought, what the hell? I watched Blue Velvet and thought, boring! I watched Eraserhead and thought, what the goddamn effing hell?

And then I watched this. It was one of the most moving, emotional movies I have ever seen. It reveals the duality of humanity, its evil and its goodness. I've never seen such a remarkable film. It totally restored my faith in David Lynch.

the fact that one or two of his movies are not complete TM induced hallucinations and meaningless "art", doesn't mean he's ok. Having a style doesn't make you Tarkosvky or Bergman, it's all about substance. Some ppl are watching movies for the "woaah what was this weird *beep* effect, most of Lynch fans too shallow for any other spiritual experience, so they need that pseudointellectual stuff to boost them.
