I saw Blue Velvet in '86 when it came out. I had not seen a Lynch film before and was totally blown away. The theatre had 10 people at the beginning. At the end, there was me and two others. It was really trippy and violent for the time. TIME magazine went on about it.
I became an instant Lynch fan and, as a result of seeing most everything, I find BV is the most understandable, chronological, plot-oriented of his movies. You wanted weirdness, try ERASERHEAD. I get nauseous with morbid fascination when I see it.

The weirdest, most surreal moment in any David Lynch film - - TA 08:59:42 11/14/02 (0)
IMO it is in The Straight Story, which I also think is his most straight-forward film.
I am referring to the opening credits: "DISNEY Presents" ... "A David Lynch film" ... And the fact that it's rated "G".
I find wild at heart to be a very chronological.... - Mrs. Piggy 20:04:47 11/13/02 (0)
