Inland Empire

[Loud Orange Cat]

Has anyone in the Indietalk community seen Inland Empire yet?

It has only one showing per city about once a week or so and is rare to catch. Apparently, it was here in town near me but I missed it's announcement by a day or two and there's no future showings anytime soon.

If you've seen it, what's your reaction?

I saw it's first showing at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood with Lynch and Dern in attendance to discuss it. I'm a big Lynch fan who hasn't like several of his movies. When I got my tickets and heard it was three hours long, I told my girlfriend that I hoped it was three hours of Eraserhead and not three hours of Lost Highway.

I loved it! Confusing, muddled, artistic, unsettling, very funny and indescribable. There is a scene with a couple of drifters on Hollywood Blvd. discussing a hooker that is hysterical. If it were a Tarantino film, every 12 to 30 year old would be quoting that dialogue for decades.

Joy just picked up the DVD for me today. It was INCREDIBLE.

I wrote up a little something about it in the blog section.
