Speaking of SCHIZOPOLIS, still delights me that Lynch had seen it and sees similarities between it and LOST HIGHWAY.

![From "David Lynch's Hollywood Nightmares" by Andy Klein. Salon, Oct. 2001:
[Minor spoilers]
In “Lost Highway,” the protagonist, jazz musician Fred Madison (Bill Pullman), is in jail for the alleged murder of his wife (Patricia Arquette). He has no memory of killing her and claims he’s innocent; and we — being locked to his point of view — haven’t seen the murder either.
Then one morning the guards arrive to find that Fred isn’t there — or, more exactly, that he’s turned into (or, in some utterly inexplicable way, been replaced by) someone else entirely — a young and callow auto mechanic named Pete Dayton (Balthazar Getty). Of course, the authorities have to let him go. He leaves and gets involved with a mobster with a sexy moll, played by … Patricia Arquette. Then things get weird.
It’s an insane concept, one that doesn’t vaguely map onto the real world and has very few precedents in cinema, yet — even more unbelievably — “Lost Highway” was one of two films that year to use the idea. I ask Lynch if he’d seen Steven Soderbergh’s wacky, low-budget “Schizopolis,” which came out within a few months of “Lost Highway.”
“Yeah! A whole different take on the same thing!” he laughs. I wonder about the coincidence. Was there something in the air … ?
“It’s O.J. Simpson, Andy.”
“What?”
“That’s what did it,” he says. “Think about it: I wasn’t really aware of it at the time, but it must have been inspired by, subconsciously anyway, the O.J. Simpson trial. And how O.J. Simpson’s mind had to be tricked, so that he could go out and play golf, rather than commit suicide for the deed he did.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ywovjdauw2hidq55krb25ht2/bafkreifdfkpvrn7sn3raawgaci2b6dpmiq3obwhncdgktck7766bylzt2q@jpeg)

There’s not too many reasons to recommend the 1988 comedy STATE PARK (though there is one reason to not recommend it and his name is Ted Nugent), but you’ve got to hear its completely original, non-derivative theme song:

My girlfriend accurately pointed out that this “Star Trek” action figure of Harry Mudd is basically @pftompkins.bsky.social.

(and yes, Paul has much better hair than both the real and plastic Roger C. Carmel)
