Favourite David Lynch Movie

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

Unfortunately put myself right off drinking vodka because of buying the cheap stuff when a student (that was when I saw Eraserhead). But, bought some Stoli a couple of weeks ago for a friend and that didn't seem too bad (expensive tastes huh!) but I think I'll stick to me wine :)
I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.

On a side note: I'm sure you know that H.R. Giger (Alien) did a table and chairs for Dune that have never been used for the film.
IIRC Giger did a lot of designs/drawings for Dune that were never used. They're in ARH+ I think?

a) I don't know that, but it might well be. I only know it was made for the "Harkonnen" IIRC.

b) Yes, that's where the cheese comes from. It's a nice little old village on top of a hill, and it's about the only one I know in this country which still looks like 500 years ago. Don't buy anything in that village, cause it's a typical tourist rip off, but the village is cute and Gigers museum is just stunning. Of course I wouldn't have known of it were it not for nice tourists who one day asked me to drive them there.... Later other tourists came with similar requests and so I've been there a few times.

And I particularly like the fact, that such sinister stuff as Giger does it is shown in such a "cute"/harmless/innocent little village, it somehow adds to to the fun. especially if you arrive there with a bunch of black-clad sinister looking people. But I guess the people there must be used to that sight by now...:-)

Didn't even know the first three had anything to do with him and not heard of the rest except Twin Peaks. But the film had nothing on the TV series. Not that I understood that, but then I'd have been more concerned if I had. So Elephant Man got my vote. I understood that.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.
