I've never quite gotten the David Lynch thing, outside of Eraserhead. Especially after watching that miserable excuse for a documentary. He sounds very thoughtful when he talks, and he talks quite a bit, and you keep expecting him to make a profound point... except he doesn't. That's not how David Lynch works. He just... goes on about... things. Which is exactly how his movies work; Twin Peaks was good because the fact that it was on television forced him to get to the damn point and actually make a definite narrative statement as to what the hell was going on.

Other than that, his head's in the clouds, his opinions are rambling treatises on nothing in particular, and his movies are like Japanese horror flicks; interesting ideas executed so ambiguously as to be pretty damn half-baked, and you stop expecting any sort of explanation at the halfway mark. Combine that with the slobbering sycophants that put the documentary Lynch together, and you have a frustrating time of it as someone who wants to like him but is frustrated by a lack of valid content
