Only one I can think of is Mr. Bungle's 'My Ass is on Fire' "Don't... you FUCKIN LOOK AT ME!!" - from the first album. (which has numerous Lynch references/ samples, esp. from 'Blue Velvet')...but further investigation reveals that Pigface used the line: "Let's fuck! I'll fuck anything that moves! " in the song 'Asphole (sick/asp/fuck remix)'. If that ain't it, try going HERE -------------------- "You have the option to drill additional holes in the label, causing the record to rotate off the side of the turntable" -Tom Ellard - Severed Heads

On "Mulholland Drive", there's that part about the two at a diner, as one describes a dream he's had about someone in the back of that very restaurant, waiting to kill him. Anyone know what I'm talking about? There's nothing really scary about that particular scene, it's just about the suspense that builds up when they both decide to check it out, as if to prove to themselves: "there's nothing to be afraid of, it was only a dream." I love David Lynch's directing style! -------------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/paulenglish

I though Mullholland Drive was the stupidest waste of film ever. Either that or I'm just plain stupid and couldn't for the life of me figure out what the fuck was going on, what it was about, what it meant. It seemed Lycnch just puts things in movies that have nothing to do with nothing, just to make you sit there and think what it means, and then you feel dumb for not understanding it. I enjoy a lot of his other flix. It's one thing to be weird, it's another to be pointless and stupid, and Lynch walks the fine line between the two. I posted something about Mullholland Drive a long time ago in a movie thread, and no one could explain the movie to me or tell me why things happened, etc... I liked Eraserhead, Wild At Heart, The Elephant Man,& Blue Velvet. All strange and twisted but at least you could follow a plot and know what the hell is happening. Etertain me, don't make me think I'm an idiot, or that I just wasted 2 1/2 hours of my life watching a filmed I kept hoping would make sense in the end. -------------------- yawn

Personaly, I think there is nothing to get, simply because MulDrive (and a lot of Lynch pieces) is conceived like a dream. You really have to watch it as if you were dreaming, then analyse it as if you were analysing a dream, by doing free associations.And about the entertainment factor, Lynch once said that the fun with his films is for the people, they watch it and discuss about it and try to make sense of it. And the other fun thing is that everyone has diffrent interpretations of it, which is quite unique. Basically, just don't think too hard, let the "unheimlichkeit" (the Uncanny) atmosphere of the film hit you, and have fun with it.

That's also my take on his films... quote: Originally posted by Luna: I liked the hot women in that movie!
Hottest girl/girl sex scene in a mainstream film ever.

hahahaa! yes indeed you are correct sis! I have it on tape from the old Underground Connection radio show. I can't remember off hand who it is, but I will dig it up tomorrow and give it a listen. Btw. I sure dig Lynch's Elephant Man. -------------------- theres only so many double kick drum'd songs with singers shouting the F word you can take before it becomes extremely dull.
