Let's be a film directed by David Lynch!

I'm the wonder anybody financed it.

I'm the lipstick!

I'm Pabst Blue Ribbon.

I’m the Little Person ™

I’m grace zabriskie being scary/weird as f.

I'm the twangy, mysterious 50-s rockabilly guitar.

I am a beginning. I am a very delicate time.

I’m the dwarf!

R8, are you also R4?

I am Mommy.

I'm the implacable undermining of the "American dream" illusion, imagery of the rot and insectile feeding frenzy just under the surface.

I'm the overratedness.

I'm the dream logic

I'm Roy Orbison.

I am Laura Palmer wrapper in plastic.

Oops television.

I´m Isabella and the critics said i type fat.

Off topic, but I had no idea she was Ingrid Bergman's daughter until, like, a month ago r17

I'm Cousin Dell's lunch!

I’m Laura Dern, constantly vacillating between being a wholesome good girl and a sleazy/naughty Jezebel.

I’m the low-key buzzing in the background that you don’t consciously hear, but it sets you on edge anyway.

I am me turning any Lynch film off after 10 mins.

I'm the 5 empty years it took until Eraserhead was finished.

I'm the lady dancing in the radiator in Eraserhead.

I'm Betty's Audition in Mulholland Drive. Naomi and Chad were SO hot!!

I am gratuitous female nudity (can’t miss me)!

I'm the twins, one of whom I briefly dated.

I'm The Grandmother, one of his first short films sponsored by the American Film Institute. What the fuck did David Lynch have on these people? They consistently financed his films. I'm always curious about other film makers who were rejected for funding so David could make his films. Good for AFI for being so generous but couldn't they have spread the wealth around a little bit? Lynch ate at their table for years.

Sorry. Forgot the link. Here it is.

R28, that film just aired on TCM. It was awful. I don’t know why I watched it.

I'm the explanation you have to google afterwards.

Oh...that's what it was about!

R30 Thank you! My point exactly. His short films were awful but the AFI powers-that-be believed in him. I'm just so curious about who they denied funding to in order to fund Lynch's career. When I was watching The Grandmother I could see glimpses of the origins of Eraserhead - the sperm, the vagina, the 'baby' - but not enough interest to warrant further funding from the AFI. Let him find private funding to continue; AFI gave him a great start. But, no, they kept feeding him money.

r31 apparently Lost Highway was inspired in part by the OJ Simpson case? I just read that today. It makes me want to rewatch it.

In am the unwatchable factor that makes every DL movie terrible!

R28 Because it was short! Only 45 minutes...

^^ meant for R30!

R33 Trying to find Lost Highway for free. I remember paying to see it years ago in an art film house and don't want to pay for it again! I had no idea what it was about but your OJ connection intrigues me. Why do you think it was connected to the OJ case?

I read it somewhere r38. Basically, Lynch was trying to get inside the mind of OJ -- the premise being (of course) OJ did it, but refused to admit his guilt even to himself. (Like the protagonist in the film).

I am going to watch it again through that frame, because I (generally) like Lynch and the OJ case has always intrigued me

Lynch tapped into wife-killer Robert Blake's innate creepiness in "Lost Highway." I think he's supposed to represent hatred.

I'm me, wondering why I just wasted 2+ hours of my life on this nonsense.

I'm people hysterically either laughing or crying completely inappropriately to their circumstances.

I am the Shadout Mapes... the housekeeper!

I’m Nic Cage’s snakeskin jacket, representing his personal freedom.

Wild At ❤️

Whoops here is ze jacket

i'm the secret diary

I'm Philadelphia, which warped him for life.

I’m the dark quirk. My back hurts because I get leaned on a lot.

I'm the dumpster behind the diner.

But seriously, do you have to be on hallucinogens for his movies to make sense?

I'm the cut off ear.

I'm a snobby critic. I go gaga for these films, whose appeal largely eludes audiences. I am annoying and smug.

I’m the many references to The Wizard of Oz.

I'm the nitrous oxide that turns Dennis Hopper into a horny baby.

I'm the notion that you can tell how well hung a guy is by listening to him take a piss.

I'm the person who goes to see one of these to be hip. I don't get it but pretend I do to fit in.

I am the shocking scene that comes out of nowhere! Whether you love or hate the film, the trauma of ME will scar you.
