There are some fine folks out there offering their takes too. Im just saying, dont be lazy. When the going gets weird, get weird with it. Or i guess, to quote Hunter Thompson: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

Waving it all away "from this point on, it's all just a dream" drives me nuts. I wouldnt even bother mentioning it, but it happens SO much, and i want to be hearing discussions that have the imagination to grapple with Lynch on the levels he operates. Which do exist, dont get me wrong.

Lynch can be very dreamlike, no doubt. But his stuff is never "all just a dream." The stuff in his work IS happening. But he considers there to be layers of reality beyond the one we normally see and interact on, and his stuff brings those things into direct play.

Lynch loves to play with supernatural beings, other dimensions, pocket dimensions, symbolic surrealism, and mostly, above all: multiple layers of reality. Crazy, heady stuff. But unable to wrestle with and wrap their head around this stuff, they brush it away "from here on, its all a dream."

this being the 21st century, one turns to YouTube. But the majority of people on YT grappling with his work simply don't know what to to do with Lynch the moment he leaves conventional reality. And Lynch LOVES to leave conventional reality as soon as he gets the chance.

Now i know a horde of trump/musk c*** slurping cult sycophants are all over the net telling us that i didnt see what i saw, but in all my time on earth, i have never seen anyone, much less a far right bootlicker, "innocently" make such a blatant "mistake" of that nature.

Is it an awkward gesture? Yeeeeesss... but you know, i've been excited in public and never once made a "roman salute" (wink wink) by accident. If it looks and smells like a dog whistle...

Excellent list. 10/10 no notes.
