oh, yeah. same with his cremaster cycle.

The Cremaster films were odd, but I've never even come across a place where I could see or rent Drawing Restraint 9!! Is it on DVD?

Never released on DVD. sad

I had heard this would happen while the movie was in theaters so I saw it twice. nuts

That totally makes sense to me. It's a lesson on how marriage should not mean telling every single secret you have to your spouse.

I got the message albeit on the second viewing; the first viewing I was but the ending was just so abrupt. It actually fits in with the rest of the film when I think about it.

That's the one David Lynch movie I totally understood. It's split into two stories: the first half is what Naomi Watts' character imagined Hollywood life would be like when she moved there and the second half is what actually happened.

The Saddest Music in The World - Isabella Rosellini is a Canadian beer baron with beer filled prosthetic legs that has the smart idea to host a saddest song in the world contest which would depress the spectators at the event so much, they'd want to drown their sorrows in her beer and make her rich. I own this movie. falloff

Now I need to see it. neutral

Spanking the Monkey

* Graffiti Bridge is not a WTF movie: it would have to be a movie first. 2 problems (well 3 counting the set and over all production values)

1) should NOT have been a squeal of Purple Rain

2) the over all story plot is fine (not original but that is fine). Just it needed an actual writer to write it.

I'd totally have seen it in a theatre, but it never came to Cleveland. confused

Oh well. I suppose I'll be on the lookout for Barney flicks at various film fests.

I had a similar reaction after watching this one:

I respect Burton's work very much, I just didn't feel this one, I don't know...

The biggest head-scratcher I've ever seen though is easily this one:

Drawing Restraint 9 - About a Japanese whaling ship that tries to correct its bad karma by booking couples to mate on it and turn into whales to replenish the ocean. There's also a subplot about constructing a huge petroleum jelly sculpture. nuts

is this actually available from somewhere now? i've seen a large
portion of it online and i thought it was great.

i love that weird, inconceivably, headache inducing kinda madness lol

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I watched a movie starring Matt damon and Casey Affleck called Gerry and I definitely had that reaction. It tried too hard to be artsy and existential. It seems as if they wanted to leave it to interpretation but they gave you next to nothing to work with. Two hours wasted! mad

i put that film on sometimes when i have company over. it's kind of
like an alternative to one of those "fireplace" or "aquarium" dvd's.

that's about all it's good for lol

Towards the end it was like falling down the rabbit hole. Or like looking through a window and seeing yourself looking through the same window from behind again and again. Trippy.

As for movies I didn't get at all and was totally confused watching it...this one ranks near the top.

I've always wanted to see that one... what I've seen looked amazingly surreal.

Nobody's mentioned a David Lynch movies yet?

I still don't know what the fuck Muholland Drive is about. Other than lesbians. razz

The crazy guy killed his wife and is on death row, and imagines himself living as another person... at the end in reality he is being executed at the end. In his fantasy he is in a car chase. I thought Mullholland was a reworking of this same idea
