It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So in honor of Dennis Hopper, I watched Blue Velvet.
...That was a side of Dennis Hopper I hadn't seen before.
Also Dean Stockwell.
I didn't know anything about the movie. It was my first David Lynch movie. Are they all full of kinky sex? That was a fucked-up movie. It's a strange world, indeed.
As a chaser, I watched The Thaw, in which global warming releases a prehistoric parasite that threatens such luminaries as Val Kilmer and Aaron Ashmore. It was actually pretty good and had a Point beyond grossing you out with shots of parasite eggs.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
All David Lynch movies are trippy and weird. Blue Velvet might be the most watchable. Eraserhead is my favorite and possibly the most bizarre.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Eraserhead is my favorite and possibly the most bizarre.
There is, out there somewhere, audio tape of James Earl Jones exclaiming in incredulous tones, "Eraserhead?!"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Eraserhead is my favorite and possibly the most bizarre.
Eraserhead is the most bizarre movie ever made that was intended to be taken seriously. There, I said it.
Blue Velvet is probably the least weird David Lynch movie.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Blue Velvet is probably the least weird David Lynch movie.
The Straight Story?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Or The Elephant Man for that matter. Strange subject matter, a few outre bits, but mostly done...err...straight.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm watching Ondine and so far I'm absolutely charmed.

Our wings are not tired.
My favorite Lynch is Straight Story and that probably speaks volumes about me.

Compassionately intolerant
I love every molecule of the Straight Story. My overall love for David Lynch is based on, I think, imagining that I should. Most of his movies are to be endured more than enjoyed, which is not usually my style. But the Straight Story just killed me with charm and pathos.
