Comment Nr. 1179

Rating: 1/10 (26 September 2003)

Can you believe that over a thousand comments have already been delivered about this piece of work? That begs the question all over again. What it comes down to is that either this is a stupendous work of art or another one of Lynch's tricks.
I tend not to appreciate works of art presented as works of art. They posit logical polarities that have nothing to do with external points of view, relying instead on constant internal self-reference. "Memento" comes to mind. Rather like the snake eating it's tail.
Puncturing pomposity is not all that difficult, and some of the previous posts have done it admirably. I particularly like the one addressed to us from "Wellville Colorado." On the other hand, I sympathize with others who have difficulty seeing through the premise and construct this film, and wonder if there is something wrong with them for not liking it.
Come on, just say you don't like it. The bogey man won't get you.
