I think Eraserhead is the type of film that if one scene or one image were added or taken away from it, the film's quality would be greatly reduced. Except maybe for the excised scene in which we see Henry's neighbour, who has two girls bound to his bed and hooked up to electrodes.

I dunno'...I'd tap that.
..........
Awkward moment.
All joking aside, have you seen that scene--tee hee, I rhymed--or just heard of it? I'm interested, I haven't heard a lot about the deleted scenes.

I'm not sure it was filmed. I think I read about it in Lynch on Lynch. It might've just been in the screenplay/treatment, or one of the ideas he scribbled down over the five year production period, of which I'm sure there was a lot.

have you seen that scene--tee hee, I rhymed Jesus fucking Christ! That's not a rhyme, that's an alliteration! Get it right, Mr. I'm vacationing in mother fucking Australia for a few months! Jeesh! *snorts, and pushes up glasses* Now I have to go check my dictionary for typographical errors.

You must see Eraserhead, Mista. And some of Lynch's shorts.

Yeah Eraserhead will be one my first Netflix selections for sure.
Any particular shorts you recommend that I might be able to see online?

"Alphabet" is the only one that comes to mind. It should be on youtube. I'm fairly sure that Lynch has several on his website as well, but there's a membership fee.

Doesn't the copy of "The Alphabet" on the DVD look much better though? I'd recommend just waiting for the short films DVD to see that. But download a copy of Rabbits if you can. There might also be some videos of Dumbland up on Youtube but that series is worth skipping.

Man, I absolutely loved Fire Walk with Me, but was so frustrated and disappointed at the same time.
When Maclachlan didn't want to have a major role in the film, Lynch shouldn't have truncated his role, but done away with Cooper altogether. In fact, scrap the Feds completely, but keep the running time the same: spend twenty minutes not on Isaak and Sutherland, but on establishing and developing Laura's school life.
In that case, it may well have been Lynch's best film.

For the life of me I cannot remember how Eraserhead ends. It's been bothering me all day. Can somebody please tell me?

Henry cuts open the baby's bandages, which open directly into its chest cavity, and stabs it in the lungs with the scissors. Its lungs exude a foamy substance that fills the room. There's a blindly flash of white light and Henry finds himself with the woman who lives behind his radiator. He embraces her, and then I believe we cut to the man who lives inside the planet again, pulling the levers, only this time he's covered with sores. I think that's right, but I haven't watched it since Summer 2005.[/SPOILER][/color]

Does Inland Empire have the best end credits ever?
Strobe lighting has never been so erotic, violent or terrifying.

There are some more photos of other works in "views of the exhibition", too. I like those, do you? Very creative and deliberately crude. I think I spent the longest time looking at that one with the two adjacent rooms.

The one of the legless torso with severed hands saying "sleep" is amazing, as is the one that follows it of the disembodied leg and breast on the park bench.
