Blue Velvet, one of the most overrated films of the last 25 years.


Do you like anything else by David Lynch better?  He's certainly not for everybody.

good thing it's 1986

I am writing a paper due at 1PM, and doing a pretty piss-poor job too.  Having a year like 1986 is good because there's so little old-fart fodder to chew on, I can spend more time on my insipid paper.

I think The Stranglers' "Ghost Train" is officially a Narada.  I loved the Stranglers, but I never heard this song outside 10@10.

BOS to the Blow Monkeys, who I think have lost Katrina status in recent months.

WOS to the sleep train.  Yawners.

I kinda liked Wild At Heart. Blue Velvet was OK but not great.

Oddly enough, though- I have Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" (the song Dean Stockwell sings while Dennis Hopper & thugs stomp on Kyle in one scene) on my MP3 player and was listening to it just this morning.

PABST BLUE RIBBON!

I can fully empathize, being stuck in a rut on my own insipid paper (I'm on page 14, will probably finish at 18 ).  If you'd like to run it by me for a quick read-through/edit, I'd be happy to help.

I'd be too emabarrased.  It's a mandatory rough-draft, and I'm just going to march in with my piece of shit, and ask for guidance.

I loved Wild At Heart (mostly becasue I'm a big Nick Cage & Willem Dafoe fan), loved Blue Velvet, and really loved Mulholland Drive.  Elephant Man was excellent, but not in keeping with his remaining oevre.

At least it was better than Dune (which ended up being a "Directed by Alan Smithee" film for awhile)...

Energy drinks I have consumed this month, ranked in order of effectiveness:

1. Monster - the easy winner
2. Red Bull - a strong runner-up, a tried-and-true classic
3. Full Throttle - eyes open, but questionable taste
4. New York Minute - only mildly effectual
5. Sparks - the malt liquor packs more buzz than the taurine
6. Arizona Energy - would be better in one of those 20-oz shotgun cans
7. Rockstar - love the concept, but the milk thistle painfully voids the bowels
8. Bawls - guarana and caffeine only, no all-important taurine
9. Liquid Lightning - weird aftertaste and no energizing effects to speak of

about the only one of his that I've seen that I found bearable was Mulholland Drive. (And oddly, I've never seen Elephant Man)  He's the Rush of film directors: willful obscurity is his stock-in-trade.  And all too many critics just eat that up with a spoon.

Did Lynch do Eraserhead?  That's among my 5 Least Favorite Films, along with Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Striking Distance, Mercury Rising, and that one with Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone.

Eraserhead was indeed Lynch's first big commercial film. Nearly unwatchable. And I was a film major...
