If you're worried about spoiling the film, head on over to the inlandempirecinema.com website and post on the message board topic "INLAND EMPIRE Theories".

Would love to discuss it with you! My name's EveningAbsurdity over there. Also feel free to join us over on livejournal at the David Lynch Community - I'm the moderator there, name Lovespiralsdown.

how DOES he do it??  How can he tap into the art/soul life in such a raw way so unlike all his peers?  Is it his fearlessness alone?

My 2 cents?  When you go to see IE, don't try to "figure it out" just ride the wave, at least the first viewing.  And Enjoy the treat!

That god damn trailer's more popular than Uncle's Day in a whorehouse!

It was after I stopped trying to find a plot and began to "enjoy" the ride that I fell asleep for an hour. Oddly enough when I woke up there still wasn't a plot and I wasn't any more confused than when I had fallen asleep. That's okay... I think it was more a combination of caffine withdrawl + exhaustion that made me fall asleep . I probably won't sit though another showing of this in the theaters. I'll wait until I can get it at work for free.

I'm pretty sure what you meant to write, but I have to point out that the second part of this statement actually means you agree with the "labyrinthine puzzle box" description. I think you meant to say "that I agree with less" or "that I disagree with more".

Just sayin'....

Or...as we old school grammarians might say, "I haven't read a statement with which I agree less" or "I haven't read a statement with which I disagree more."

Right, Chris? Now, let's diagram that sentence!

Got a copy of the Guardian Newspaper today, as ThisIsTheGirl happened to mention to me that they were doing a promotion on the IE showing at the NFT. Just thought Id quote what it says-

David Lynch

Plus a special preview of Inland Empire

Celebrated auteur David Lynch serves as producer and editor for Inland Empire, his most experimental and personal film to date.

-brief paragraph describing the story of IE-

Following a preview screening of Inland Empire, David Lynch meets Mark Kemode to discuss the film and his own unique cinematic vision.

They then go on to say that they have 50 tickets on offer if you call the NFT and quote "Guardian David Lynch offer". They still cost £18.75 though! Am sure they have gone by now because it was this mornings paper, but may be worth a go??

Intuitive filmmaking and a certain perspective on the spiritual realm that is consistent.  It's consistent because
