Old News: David Lynch Still Psychotic

This blog needs to take a turn for the cryptic.  David Lynch could be an all-too-easy hinge for this move.

(I'm assuming by now it's common knowledge that Lynch is, by a lot of people's standards, pretty wacko; he's taken up transcendental meditation, speaks of bliss in metaphors of water and depth, and wiggles his fingers with eyebrows raised as he refers to it.  I saw him talk at NYU a couple years ago, as many did; though I expected to see Lynch live, I was merely one of many diverted into a smaller auditorium beneath the one he was really speaking in.  We watched a live video feed of his talk, in the room above us.  And he spoke not of film, but of this so-called bliss.)  


[[MULLHOLLAND DRIVE SPOILER.]] 

(You'd have to know about the rest of what goes on in the movie for this to effectively 'spoil' anything, and yet...) 

For the record, I still don't like Mullholland Drive.  There.  I said it on the internet.  Other Club Silencio scenes, and this one, are pretty fascinating though.  Theatre of the absurd, amigos, theatre of the absurd.
