    My thoughts to,so long since I saw it.But all the David Lynch stuff is weird beyond belief.I can remember being quite disturbed by some of the scenes.

    many years ago, i worked at blockbuster video.....those of us that worked out on the floor (helping customers find movies, give recommendations, etc) had a game where we tried to get people to rent Eraserhead...

    When you did, the other people on the floor bought you drinks after work.

    Eraserhead is what it is. I have no idea what the hell is going on. I own it and have only seen it once. Should I see it again?

    Yea, it's not that difficult to interpret if you see it a few times. It's a lot easier than Twin Peaks or Inland Empire anyway..

    Haven't seen this one in a few years. That dude has funky hair. Anyone seen inland empire? Is it any good? Wasn't a big fan of Mullholland drive but i love his other work.

    I was hanging with a friend...not much of a movie buff so it was all his suggestions. This occurred after watching Naked Lunch too! :eek: Bizarre evening to say the least.

    I'd been wanting to watch Eraserhead for years after reading it was Lynch's first film, it was groundbreaking, etc. etc. I'm a big Lynch fan but yeah, without a doubt it was the most bizarre, twisted movie I'd ever seen. I watched one day while I was home sick with the flu and I think the combination of my medication, sad physical state and fucked up movie I got very lightheaded and felt like I was going to pass out. This is definitely a movie for only the most diehard Lynch fans.

    haha, if you haven't you should try reading Naked Lunch. I found it more difficult than the film :) Burroughs was a fucked up man.
