    So my teacher made us watch Eraserhead...

    (I'm pretty sure Mora may have seen it.)

    I have a theory to what happened.

    The main fella's girlfriend cheated on him with the Man in the Planet, causing the (obviously) alien/human hybred baby to be born (actually in a FULL term preganancy in this case, despite it being only three months). That's when Mary X attempts to get Henry (the main fella) to support her by making him think the baby's his. (I ready somewhere that the script WAS originally about infidelity.)

    After the baby was born, its biological father when into it's head to watch over it.

    The lady in the radiator is actually the ghost of a singer who now possessed said raidiator, seeking out victims with her siren song.

    As for the rest of the strange crap...Well, clearly Henry is a drug addict or has been exposed to either gas from the raidiator released by the ghost or stuff from his job at a printing mill.

    ...And that is my theory.

    Otherwise, it was pretty f***ed up.

    It's a David Lynch movie...I'm not sure it's supposed to make sense.



    Also, I like your new profile redesign, 162, and like your appropriation of D13 or whatever's "You know I'm cute." Seems to fit you a bit better than him. Then again, that may only be because of the gender difference between the two of you.

    EDIT: Just clicked your "profile" profile, and I'll have to amend what I just typed. Yes, you are indeed cute.

      Eraserhead is just surrealist imagery... pretty sure it has no coherent plot aside from what you make up on your own. If you could survive Eraserhead, pretty much every single thing Lynch has made since then has been more approachable and entertaining, so dig in!

            Yeah, I think it's kind of anathema to the spirit of the film to try to "understand" it in terms of a coherent narrative structure. It's surrealism. It's about the nature of the mind when unbridled from the filter of consciousness -- the sense in all the nonsense that goes on in your daily thought processes.

            But far be it from me to tell you how to watch a movie: more power to you if you want to put your own interpretive frame on it. That's what art is all about!

              D13 has "I'm cute" too?! (Sorry D13.)

              But thanks for your compliments! (You really think I'm cute?)
