Our first chance comes January 19th when Lynch is set to appear at the Rafael Film Center, which started distributing its new calendar last week. The film will open there for an engagement of an unspecified length on February 9th.

plot wise my theory is: that polish chick is stuck in purgatory cuz her movie was never finished and she died cuz she got preggy from some trick (or the other actor?) and her husband kicked the shit out of her or she killed herself with a screwdriver giving herself an abortion and laura dern like 50 years later or whatever finishes the movie or something and the crying polish chick watches the finally completed movie and is sent on her path to heaven or happiness or whatever during that emotional scene where they kiss or i dunno.

keep in mind i saw this movie twice. once on shrooms months ago and once sober last weekend so i dunno i might be wrong. someone help me. i still dont know that the fuck "hes good with animals" thing means.

Hello, did anyone ever answer this for you? There are several threads going on about the film--she's in the very last bit, the same scene Laura Harring shows up in aka the credits. It is completely, 100% "if you blinked you missed her," she's sitting off to the side of Laura Dern. If she shows up elsewhere in the film, I missed it though.

The Q&A in Silver Spring wasn't much cop--Lynch was great, very interesting and funny but it was hosted by one of the most awful people in the entire DC metro area and he got questions that boiled down to "Actresses are pretty huh?"

1. How did you shoot a movie using digital? Did you point the camera at the actors or what?

2. I like Polish composers too. Why do YOU like Polish composers?

3. How did you make this color digital motion picture? Was a camera involved? Perhaps more than one?

4. Do you like girls circle one yes no maybe

5. Was this film made using the Sony Pl508JSXminiDVcamcamcorder-corder? Should I buy one to make my thesis? Tell me about the features and the specifications, especially battery life.

6. Did you lie about your answer to number 4 circle one no yes sorta

7. Dude I want to have your babies, so what's it like, working in digital?

xpost please do not make it sound like there were that many technical questions, #7 did not actually ask Lynch a question at all and actually said "I just wanted to tell you I love you" or something to that effect. And it was the last question too! They cut off everyone else! If I was in line, I would've killed that little 14 year old fucker.

The more I am away from it the more I like it! There are a lot of loose ends and things that make very little sense to it but I like the core of it.

i thought that meant the next bit with the screwdriver.

As for the Lost Girl, I guess being stuck watching TV in an attic is the perfect definition of Purgatory. I don't quite understand why her liberation is the joy of being reunited with her/Nikki's husband, who in all his previous guises has been a scary bastard.

anyway, need to see this again.

one of the two guys sitting next to me to his friend, both of whom left about an hour and a half into the movie: "this is the worst fucking movie i've ever seen, screw this shit..."

also: bjork and matthew barney were in attendance!

also, i completely forgot that william h. macy has a ten-second cameo in this

this was discussed, i guess on the sandbox, the song is by lynch, also sung by lynch

btw, happy birthday david lynch, and happy birthday to me
