Surrealistic Pillow
The other day Val & I went to see David Lynch's new film, INLAND EMPIRE (title MUST be in all caps according to Lynch). I think it's safe to say that most artists, filmmakers included, are almost always trying to express something with their creations. Maybe it's not always some grandiose truism, but it's usually something. David Lynch's work is always diffiicult, if not pointless, to try and interpret in any literal way but I think I know what he's saying with his latest. He's saying "I'm David Lynch and I'm the darkest, most surreal fucker who's ever walked the earth". If 3 hours of dark surrealism sounds like your cup of tea, get thee to your local art-house cinema and dig into this shit. If Blue Velvet was a little too weird for you, better skip it. I have to say that Laura Dern gave an amazing performance that's worth witnessing, even if it means having to soak up enough fucked up imagery to give Dick Cheney nightmares.
In other Lynchian news, season 2 of Twin Peaks is FINALLY coming to DVD in April. This is a good thing.

i would like to stab david lynch multiple times, mostly because i continue watching his movies even though i hate each one more than the last. i think i told you this, but i met a guy on this trip who offered a new theory about how mr. lynch makes films, and i had to be restrained so i wouldn´t punch walls.
that being said, i´ll probably watch this stupid new movie at some point because i love a good punishment.
