Eraserhead

[Avante]

My 18 year old son looking at my movie collection.

Mason...Eraserhead?
Me..a cult classic, very strange, weird!
Mason...let's watch it?
Me...you won't like it?
Mason...I might.

How far did we get?

We did watch Vahalla Rising.

Still playing ...dummy on a computer...why?

You show flashs of normality then you fall back into that childish bullshit. Is there a name for that? Like I said that sort of stuff makes no dent at all, it just makes you look immature and stupid.

I watched a porno a second ago. Did you really type that?

[Avante]

It's as if I'm on another planet "here". Very strange.

I used to do that with my dad's collection all the time.

But at least he had good movies like the Great Escape and the so good Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns.

He had a great Horror genre collection that we used to watch all the time too.

They sure dont make 'em like they used to.

I have a pretty solid collection on loan to my daughter right now minus Eraserhead.

I have...

Nosferatu
The Theif of Bagdad
Metropolis

As far as silence flicks go. I need The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Have all the Godfathers, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, King Kong 1933. A ton of movies actually. A wide variety.

So far Rumble Fish is Mason's favorite, but he has only seen a few.

They have never improved on that T-Rex we see in the original King Kong.

I won't tell you how it ends, but it is far worst than A Clockwork Orange. It's all about can you figure out what's really going on?

One of the really strange movies, a must see. You have to watch it alone. If you try and watch it with somebody both of you will be thinking about how you don't want the other thinking you think it's a good movie. It's a unique movie, something different.

As are most David Lynch films. Whether you get them or not, they are beautiful works of art. My personal fav is Lost Highway.

A buddy of mine is a huge Lynch fan, he has mentioned Lost Highway. Obviously if I watched Eraserhead I'm up for a challenge. You recommend the flick obviously.

There is some message there in Eraserhead a friend tried to explain it to me but I still didn't get it.

Its about a group of psychos gangbangers. Rape and lots of violence is involved here.

I still don't "get" that movie but I like it, as weird as that sounds. The soundtrack is awesome.

Lost Highway is probably my favorite of his films, too, even though I don't think it's his best. And it was pretty well hated by critics.

I think trying to "get" David Lynch can be a problem. By and large, the people I know that don't like his films are primarily frustrated by how impossible they are to understand. Gotta just grab on to what you can, I think, and appreciate mood/atmosphere along the way.

I love his stuff, though. Well... most of it. Inland Empire felt too much like trying to recreate things he'd done better in earlier films (Lost Highway and Mullholland Drive both have the Los Angeles/cinema obsessions and the switching of identity as major plot points, for instance). That said, I doubt if you paid me I could explain the meaning of any of his films.
