Agreed.
I never think about the etymology, but I use a line from this movie on my young daughter all the time:
“It’s dark now”.
Mommy!
A very significant movie for me. I’ve based all my relationships with women on the character “Frank” from Blue Velvet.
OMG the review is longer than the movie.
Dennis Hopper gave one of the scariest performances of all time in that flick - no make up, no special effects, just crazy incredible acting.
“Frank Booth is a very dangerous man”
Just try to watch "Eraser Head" and you'll see why.
He ruined "Dune"' and in fact, ripped it off from Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Greatest quote ever by Jodorowsky;
"After my Dune was left unfinished, DeLaurentis bought it and gave it to David Lynch to direct. I was inconsolable. But I felt Lynch could make it work. When it premiered, my son finally talked me into seeing it. We sat, I watched. Over a period of time I started to smile and when I had a huge grin on my face, my son said, 'What is it?'
I said, 'I am so happy! This is TERRIBLE! Even the great David Lynch got it wrong!'
Eraser Head may be his best film. It’s a true original. Men Brooks saw it and hired Lynch to direct his production of ‘The Elephant Man’.
Mel Brooks
One of my wife’s favorite movies
She loves Lynch and the Coens
The Coens ripped off Lynch a bit in Barton Fink.
Agreed.

Was the author paid by the word? “Stiff and stilted” describe this mess, not just the film. What a serious case of logorhea.
I saw it as a teenager. It gave me nightmares for two nights running.
Haven’t watched it again since. I need to do so to understand what exactly I found so disturbing.
One can say many things about David Lynch, but you have to admit he has a unique.... view. It's a matter of taste.
Saw DUNE on HBO years ago. A mess.
Saw it on commercial TV several years later and they had a fifteen minute lead in voiceover explaining the plot, then a voiceover during the movie to explain more.
