I had a husband who was obsessed with "Blue Velvet," wanting to watch it
repeatedly every other weekend.  With the exception of "Apocalypse Now"
(another of his favorite flicks) I have never seen a movie so disturbing.  I
had to often go outside for air.  I can't say that I "liked" it, but I can say
that it profoundly affected me.

The same situation exists with "Eraserhead" (sp?)--(another Lynch film,
right?).  I say I don't want to watch, but I watch. I can't stop watching. Then
I say I will never watch again, but of course I do.

Like Salinger, David Lynch thrusts our discussion way beyond, "So did you like
it?"  This is not a matter of "like."  The question to ask is,  "so how did
this movie/book  change you? "
