Have you ever seen "The Straight Story"?

Its weirdness is very "gentle" compared to most of Lynch's other work, but still quirky, and worth checking out.

Yes, I saw it in the theater! It's another film I need to watch again. I only recall the ending, really.

I saw it while riding on a Peter Pan bus from Massachusetts to NYC. I kept nodding off and waking up again -- which actually fit the pace of the film pretty well!

Glad you liked ‘Wild at Heart’ as well as the acknowledged greats. Me too. I don’t believe one is meant to. (Long ago I cracked with Eraserhead, on TV, and gave up unfinished). Have you tried Gifford's books? You might like them if you haven't.

Honestly I can't remember if I read Sailor and Lula. I may have flipped through it. What do you think of his work?

I enjoyed it. Haven't read it for a while, and of course I read in an odd way, i.e. focusing on the endless search for slang, but I did. But for once the film was the launchpad.

“Watching Eraserhead once was more than enough” lol. It really was 😆
