It's nice to see more federal agencies being represented in movies these days. When I was a kid you never saw ATF, feds were always FBI.
He has never watched a David Lynch film before.
I watched lost highways at movie night a couple of weeks ago. It was my first Lynch movie.
I despise it when the plot twist in a movie is that the guy imagined everything. And the movie was comically slow. I'm one who enjoys the process of cobbling together self referential details to get to the broader picture. And yet the disappointment of finding out it was all a delusion ruined the entire thing.
I didn't like it, wouldn't recommend. Sooner or later I'll watch another Lynch movie, maybe I'll change my mind.
I just wanted to vent
The only way to enjoy Lynch movies for me is to watch them like you look at a painting.
Enjoy the cinematography, costumes, lighting, music, atmosphere, etc.
Trying to follow the plot (especially on the first viewing) is frustrating and futile.
That's kinda the best approach to Lynch's films: he's a jazzman of cinema. Except the plot is also a part of his technique.
He was known to invent parts of his films on the spot: e.g. the cowboy character in ‘Mulholland Drive’.
We watched "Lost Highway" in school and I think I was the only one who raised his hand when the teacher asked afterwards who liked the movie. For everyone else it was a stupid mess. Me, I enjoyed the filmmaking aspects of it. One girl accused me of "only liking it because of the sex scenes" lol
Twin Peaks (the 1990 series) is a pretty approachable Lynch experience (and very good) but you do have to get used to the slow pacing. The story builds and doubles back and wrinkles, sometimes erratically, but the strange drama and excellent characters really are worth experiencing. If you hate it you probably aren't going to appreciate his really weird stuff either.
Or just jump straight into Eraserhead.

Chekhov’s dog: if it shows up in Act 1, it’s definitely not just going for a walk.
First act: confusion. Third act: payoff. Cinema, baby.
that is my mom to my dad every time we get together to watch a movie
All I can think of re Nolan is the inception south park episode.
'and then it's like du du du du da da da da gnnarr bang pew du du du du'
Because Nolan makes fun films unwatchable with awful mixing and his cringe attempts at writing. If only he'd let the experts do their jobs and just direct.
