Too weird for the masses, not weird enough for Lynch Fans

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2001)

I love Lynch--he always surprises me, but usually he tries to top himself each time (it is as though he wants us to share his descent into schizophrenia). But this time he seems to have back slid--this movie almost made sense! Except for one loose thread (where did Rita get all all that money?), I practically had the whole thing figured out 5 minutes after the movie ended (I am still trying to figure out "Twin Peaks", the movie!). But as usual, there were the usual Lynch virgins in the audience that did not have a clue!
Can Lynch stay ahead of his fans, or will he just reverse course and force us to follow. I guess only time will tell.
My biggest beef with him is: Why doesn't he show the babes fully nude and in focus (instead of just topless?, instead of the uglies--is it too expensive?
