At 'Dem Flicks w\ Malcolm - Eraserhead

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Christ, I'm not even sure how to review this one.

This is from David Lynch, the dude behind "Twin Peaks." & based on his repetoire & the interview materials on the extras, he's...a strange dude to say the least.

The main character is Henry, a man w\ freaky hair who lives in a crappy-ass apartment w\ a loud radiator & words a menial, pathetic job at some horrible factory. The entire world is nightmarish & industrial dystopian. Apparently, he screwed some chick a while back & she had a kid, sort of. The kid is damn mistake of nature & the rest of the film is spent observing how it interacts w\ its parents.

This film is fucked up. Very, very fucked up.
