I'm about to watch Lost Highway

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 06.27.2006, 08:17 PM

I like Wild At Heart, Blue Velvet, and Eraserhead, but I heard Lost Highway sucks. Wish me luck.

I've got Godfather and Spaceballs sitting right next to me if I get bored.

I can't understand any of the stuff Patricia Arquette is saying.

Patricia Arquette is a metaphor

I actually like Wild at Heart more than Blue Velvet, but that's easy, because I don't like Blue Velvet at all.

I didn't like Lost Highway either. I am not a David Lynch fan, per se, but I will keep watching his movies just to make sure I'm not missing out on something that is actually decent. I find that most of the stuff he has done (that I have seen) isn't much more than a few neat images strung together that don't really say anything, but they look okay, so that seems to excuse any faults his movies might have. If he could attach some sort of point to what he does, I'd be all over it. Blue Velvet could have been so much more, but it turned out to be kind of a cop-out. After I finished it, I just thought, "So what?" It didn't deliver like I had expected it to. That doesn't mean that it lacks memorable scenes--it has enough of those. I just felt like all that work was done in vain.

the creepy dude made me quite nervous, and what's worse is to know he's a villan in real life too.

I got half way through it and then it started skipping during the Richard Pryor scene. So I gave up. More nonsensical and creepy than Eraserhead so far though IMO.

Still haven't seen it. I have been meaning to watch for a long time. Hopefully I can get around to it someday.

-EDIT-
I remember seeing one of David's later films, & to be honest, I really wasn't that impressed.

Yeah. It could be because I'm multi-tasking. I'll try it on the TV another time.

I like all his work but Wild at heart is my favorite.
Arquette has an amazing ass walking up those stairs and M. Manson has a nice cameo role.
