I think this makes 450 in the queue. Good lord.

Ha, yeah, mine is much shorter at the moment. It COULD be that long, but I am refraining from adding, like, every single movie I could possibly ever want to see. I'm adding things when I get the urge or the whim. And I'm loving the Instant Queue, which means I can save anything they have for streaming to watch whenever I want later. Right now I'm just getting one disc at a time since it's the cheapest, but I'm sure eventually I will decide paying more is worth it. The Instant Watch, though, kind of makes up for it.

P-Cow, Mullholland Drive is probably my favorite Lynch and I think you'll dig it too since you have the fascination with identity and unreliable narrators. There is one key thing to figure out about the plot (which is not explicitly explained) but once you get that then the whole thing opens up.

I do like identity issues and unreliable narrators! I've heard good things about it.

I want to see Lost Highway because I've had the soundtrack for years. I want to hear Trent Reznor's "Driver Down" in context!

I came at The Straight Story not for the Lynch but for the Farnsworth. I had such a decades-long crush on that man.

I can't say enough for Netflix Instant Watch thing. We had the 3-discs-atta-time deal for years and years, and last year while we were back and forth across the country, I didn't change address until we were finally settled, and the three discs sat, unwatched in the NC house for seven months. I know I could have put the account on hold, but (sigh) it didn't occur to me at the time. We paid for that plan all that time and watched *no* Netflix movies.

My Type-A husband was a complete "I don't watch TV, it's beneath me" most of our married life, and he was only interested in movies with Willis, Eastwood, Ford, or Tommy Lee Jones in the cast or "blows shit up" in the blurb.

But now we have cozy evenings together after supper, after his days of working on the house or building furniture or otherwise keeping busy. And he's decided watching movies together is fun. Instant Watch has been so great. We're watching Season One of Doctor Who (Nine!)--he has no background on the Doctor at all, so he's discovering it all new--and Torchwood, which I'd never managed to see. Somehow fiddling onscreen with the IW queue and running the controls has become his job, rather than the dvr remote being mine. I can't praise IW enough!

Converting my thinking from "OMG, I must own every movie and tv show I ever liked a little bit, ever" to "Netflix is my offsite storage site" has been wonderful. And a whole lot less dusting for me.

Blue Velvet is probably the least weird David Lynch movie.

One of my favorite pastimes is making potentially arguable declarative sentences and watching Buffistas dig in.

I think one of the Buffistas' favorite pastimes is waiting for people to make potentially arguable declarative sentences and then digging in.

I really liked MD, although that sort of surprises me, since Lynch films generally aren't my thing (although I love Twin Peaks beyond reason).

I like "Wild at Heart" the best, I think, but that may be because of nostalgia.

Twin Peaks is hands down my favorite Lynchian thing. I haven't watched Blue Velvet in a long time, but in high school/college, I watched it enough to keep me for a looong time. It was pretty much de rigeur stoner party watching.

Beverly, we have streaming Netflix on the Wii and on the laptop. LOVE. If D. is watching something on TV, I can watch what I want to watch (if it's something I don't particularly care about) on the laptop upstairs.

Just reading an online plot description of Toy Story 3 made me tear up. To the point where I go all flaily hands weepy whenever the trailer comes on.

That said, our afternoon will also be including Monsters, Inc. We were at the beach for 4 hours this morning, so I think we've all earned a movie break.

I came at The Straight Story not for the Lynch but for the Farnsworth. I had such a decades-long crush on that man.

Me too! I've loved him since Mom took me to see The Grey Fox when I was 13. I didn't even realize tSS was Lynch. So yeah, way more watchable than Blue Velvet.

I don't get Pixar. I mean, the premises ALWAYS make me tear up. And sometimes the movies do too (I can't watch the start of Finding Nemo, and Up was just manipulative), but there's usually so much that's exciting and real and fun that their movies can't be classified as tragedies.

Except when you read the synopsis.

The most surreal moment in the Straight Story is the opening credits: Walt Disney presents...A David Lynch Film. Castle logo and everything.

If I watch UP again I'll be fast forwarding through the opening montage. It makes me weep!
