I watched "The Straight Story" tonight. What a wierd concept (David Lynch making a movie for Disney) It was sooo THAT, too. It was the epitome of a Disney David Lynch movie. Thats about the best way to describe it. It's about an old man who drives his lawnmower several hundred miles across 2 state lines to visit his dying brother. only, instead of it being surreal, like a David Lynch movie should be, It was heart warming and sweet. bah. utterly bizarre. I like it.

My favorite memory from seeing that film in the theatres was during the opening credits, when this came up (as best my memory serves, I haven't seen it since):

"Walt Disney Pictures Presents:

A film by David Lynch..."

Several people in the audience cracked up at that, including me...it was a little surreal and amusing to see those two entities in one place, Disney & Lynch...whatever

That's the one Lynch film I haven't seen; sounds interesting. He's definately one of my favorites.

Speaking of movies did you ever see the film version of "Meetings With Remarkable Men"? It's not the greatest but the scene at the end with the movements being performed gives me goosebumps. I was fortunate to have studied them with some of the most advanced practitioners in the world and it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Sucks I didn't have the dedication to pursue it but it meant opening up my life totally and that is so scary.
