I respect your honesty and insight, !@#$%!; I do realize though that you're merely stating what you think, and not discouraging anyone from seeing it necessarily.
It appears to me that half of the metacritics didn't really watch the movie, and anyone with any sense should know the "half" to which I'm referring.

the funny think is, i don't know what i think, though my visceral reaction was that of being had in a confidence scheme. what i will
think of it, i guess, is where things pivot. i have not made up my mind yet in that regard.

Check out this funny campaign by David Lynch for Laura Dern.

well, the movie is not at all like that video. i stand in awe of laura dern's performance by the way, but i feel that this is a way to make amends for having sent her into this absurd maelstrom-- kinda like 'you trusted me now i owe you'. my favorite performance of 2006 is perhaps penelope cruz's, but it's the camera on laura dern's mutating facial geology that does a spectacular job.
i think that lynch may have blown it though.
as for "cheese is made of milk" i do get the metaphor, at least simplistically, that just like 9 gallons of milk are used to make, what, a pound of cheese, or so, lynch expects that a delicious movie will coagulate from the mess of his random meanderings, after properly aged and matured. a good premise, but i'm not sure it applies. not yet anyway. being sure, i mean.
