The Soapbox

A consistent time line hasn't been exactly hight on David Lynch's list. After seeing it, I've constructed my own, yet it suffers the same fate as all other attempts: it requires some extra voodoo to become consistent, and there is no point to it. I haven't even re-visited it to verify my assumptions. Lynch works are highly visual, triggering clichés and then bending them to stab your back. His puzzles aren't for the rational and logic mind (even though some fun can be had with this when searching for the "least magic handwaving" explanation). Still, it's perfectly executed and some scenes are unforgettable - e.g. Llorando, and the casting of the "break up scene" girl.

Yup I have issues with linq! Stupid frikkin bloody idea thought up by Microsofts over technified geeks and inflicted on the poor bloody developer community. The miserable SOB who thought of this should be taken out and shot, boiled in oil, drawn and quartered and drowned in butter. Then deep fry the bastard. Just what we need another abstraction layer!!!!!!! Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Very poignant after I just got back from the local, and for the first time in yonks, I didn't drink beer, favouring whisky instead. I immediately notice I feel clear headed and not lazy, as beer often makes me feel. However, I normally buy my own beer and drink it on my own. Maybe this is just an attempt to feel like I'm being preyed upon by real women?

I like both, the movie and the book, but I also think that in this case the movie is better. The flick is stylized, a little sarcastic and somehow…real/not the Nazi part though/.

shame one of those things isnt thinking for yourself Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.
