"It is amazing that Lynches style was cemented so strongly already in Eraserhead. The shabby industial landscapes, the alternative world-within-a-world views and the blank stares/pauses."... "The Straight Story." Still has those wonderful touches - the fat lady sunning herself and eating donuts, the giant ear of corn going by on the truck/float, the burning house that the folks have lawn chairs out to watch the firemen, the hysterical lady who just wants to know where all the deer come from, the cement deer surrounding Alvin at his camp site as he eats venison.
