Hummm, what do I think?

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 2002)

Okay. This is a David Lynch film, so I rent it thinking I am going to simply hate it, thinking to myself, "Just watch it like your watching a moving painting". But, with such low expectations, how disappointed can I be, even if it is as bad as I am expecting it will be worth the art, right? Right. I didn't hate this movie with a passion like I did 'Blue Velvet' (but I went into that POS thinking it was some great film because of all I've heard about it, blah). Now, I'm going to try to explain what I liked.
Okay, to start, the acting seems to be directed bad. The actors seem to be good actors that are being told to over-act, or under-act, or just act bad, giving it a sort of creepy effect. Maybe I'm giving the acting and directing too much credit, maybe Lynchy-boy just can't tell who is a good actor and who is a bad one. And, things happen that I've decided to just accept. Instead of saying "what was the point to that scene???!!!" I just said, "well, that was an interesting short film in the middle of this one, now lets get back to the main characters". This kept my sanity during this film. There are lots of small characters with short blonde hair, well, what a cool way to morph one of the main characters a few times. It's too funny to me. If I would have seen this movie without these feelings of ignoring this and that, and thinking to myself, don't worry about how that happened, I would have watched it with an uncomfortable raised eyebrow and mouth agape look on my face. So instead I think to myself, how did it happen? It just did, just see how it all connects, which sometimes it doesn't even do that, but luckily I did see some connections a couple of times. When the characters flipped, they flipped totally.
This is one movie that I would like to hear what people thought about this part or that part or this connection or that flip. So all in all, it was still a total Lynch-serial-wacky-what.in.the.hell movie but when you expect that, its not a total waste of time. By the way, I am now forbidden to pick anymore movies to rent for a month. My boyfriend hated it.
