I love (nay, LOVE) Polish Poem. It reminds me of Falling, Questions In A World Of Blue, Mysteries Of Love and Song To The Siren.       

The only thing "anti" I can think to say *shudders* is that if Lynch is distributing Inland Empire by himself does that mean once the DVD is released it will only be available on his website (like Eraserhead was originally). I certainly hope not, because there are fans out there who are not on the website and since I shelled out the cash to see IE 3 times then I should be able to buy it on DVD for a reasonable price...that is all for now.

"Every day holds a new beginning and every hour holds the promise of an Invitation to Love." 

A couple of the scenes from the "blue tomorrow" movie^2 were just not interesting.

I didn't think rabbits worked at all in the movie. It stands on its own.

I really didn't like the scenes where laura dern was with that guy in the glasses and she did this long monologue in a southern accent. All that material was really weak, I think.

 Laura Dern walking into the movie theater and seeing herself was great the first time I saw it in "in the mouth of madness", it was probably done before that too.

Overall, the movie lacked a "club silencio" or a "mystery man" scene that was just incredible. It never quite got to that level. The closest was when laura dern came upon herself in the studio, but that was a lost highway ripoff...

I really did like it overall, but I think he may have already peaked. I'm very disappointed that he'll never work with film again. 

Um...how, exactly? Would the fact that Dern played more than one character make it a Mulholland Drive ripoff too? That's some pretty skewed logic right there, in my opinion. As for the monologue, I personally thought that it had some of the best dialogue AND the best acting in the movie. If you want a "transcendent" moment, Nikki's death scene on Hollywood Boulevard is a pretty great example too, I'd say!

12R - I agree that people can get too attached to their Lynch theories, but it's kinda hard to not theorise at all! I mean, I think Lynch wants people to come up with their own interpretations to a certain extent - hence his comments on "the audience as Detective" and the recurrence of Detective figures in his movies....

I think the trick is to let a Lynch movie just wash over you the first couple of times you watch it, then think a little more about what it all means to you, while keeping your mind open to other ideas!
 

No. In both movies you have:

1. A scene early in the movie where a mysterious person appears where the main character is and we have no idea what they are doing.

2. Later in the movie we discover that the mysterious person was in fact the main character him/herself, and now we know how they ended up there and what was really going on.

That's more specifically similar than just having an actor play more than 1 character.  

Of course. It's impossible to not try to make logical connections, and Lynch does invite/encourage that. 
But I think it would be more than a little presumptuous to shoot for a single, certain interpretation of IE.  There is more to heaven, earth and David Lynch films than is dreamt of in our philosophy.
