Mullholand Drive was about two hot lesbians kissing. Dune was about Kyle MacLachlin trying to figure out a mystery through dreams. Twin Peaks was about Kyle MacLachlin becoming an oppressive tyrant with his newfound powers while consuming a beloved, addictive substance. What’s so hard to get about that?

    Lost highway is about Trent Reznor producing an amazing soundtrack.

    Pretend to understand your films? I don't even know who you are.

    I absolutely love some of Lynch's work but will openly confess that I have no idea what he was trying to tell me.

    Surrealist art is intended to speak to the subconscious. I have a feeling this is why Lynch didn't like to explain the meaning of his films. Emotional understanding emphasised over intellectual understanding.

    Jokes on you! I pretend to understand your films to get close enough to artsy girls to borrow their clothes!

    I'm not convinced even David himself understands his films. Feels like a 40 year project of trolling cinemagoers and watching them pretend they understand it.

    Eraserhead was his most spiritual film.

    Jokes on you, I watch Lynch's Dune to find a partner.

    Straight story was about the existential dread of living in an infinite and ultimately meaningless universe that neither knows about or cares about our brief existence

    I understand that his work makes me feel both mystified, curious, and and a little scared ; that maybe there is some hint of magic in the world and it is dark but alluring and a little comical.

    If someone else appreciates these feelings and wants to share them with me, hell yeah, let's get together.

    Lynch is easy. Refn is hard. I’ve seen Her Private Hell four times now cause a cute girl told me to, and I still have no idea what’s going on beyond “approximately every half hour or so, a girl gets bashed into a window head first and/or her chest torn open, and dies.” It’s got cool neon bullshit though.

    The girl is pretty cute too.

    I mostly understood at least the basic points of all of his movies... except Inland Empire. That shit was just impossible to decipher even after re-watching it three times, the third one with pen and paper to try and piece the plot together (cause the Wikipedia plot section is useless at capturing the detail). Honestly I feel like he was just throwing shit at the camera and seeing what doesn't end up on the cutting room floor, and not in a good Linklater-esque way. A shame that's the one he went out on.
