EvilDumbell said:LOL @ rocky. Shakes his head to almost everything but keeps Judge Dredd as a good pick which was a boxoffice flop and rated as a shit film.
I actually felt the same way after my first screening which is why I recommended the second viewingRocky said:Yeah I intend to. There have been a few films that on first watch I wans't overwhelmed with but on 2nd watch have grown on me. Especially considering the basis of this film I could see this being one of those - that comment was my inital opinion.

Line said:So I went and saw INLAND EMPIRE again and actually took a notebook with me to jot down recurring themes, lines, and other random notes to try and make sense of the thing (this is the first time I have ever done this). I must say, the film is absolutely amazing. It's so complex, moving, and interesting and feels as if it's much shorter than the three hour run time. It's replaced Children of Men on my list as the second best film from 2006.
Ha, if you watch this film you'll understand why. There won't be a DVD release until over the summer and seeing how it's only been distributed to major US cities by Lynch himself (I have no idea how we got it) you'll likely have to wait until then. As far as comparing it to other Lynch films, I'd say that while it's not as weird a film as Eraserhead it's not nearly as accessible either. Eraserhead has, what I think, are relatively "easy" themes dealing with fertility, sexuality, escapism, and acceptance. Contrastly, INLAND EMPIRE is far more thematically complex and my notes included one page of around 35 intertwined relations between its symbols and another or random notes that outlined the story...and for the record, I print incredibly small.Rocky said:Might have to seek this out then. lol at taking a notebook. Did you have a pair of half moon spectacles resting on the tip of your nose for you to peer over at the screen?
Eh, I'm bored. For the record, it's very hard to write in a dark movie theater with just two pages to work with...I'm currently drawing arrows on the left-hand page in order to sort things chronologically a bit because I organized most of it by theme.Rocky said:lol - I can't believe you uploaded your note book!
And you're right I can't read it. That's nearly as bad as my handwriting!
I'll definitely check it out and add what I can find. Also, I drew some arrows to help orient thingsRocky said:A fine system. I've just started a new trailer thread for new films> Check it out Line and add ones when you come across them!
