Have you seen the David Lynch movie, Eraserhead? I just got it from the library. While reading Toure’s book Nothing Compares 2 U: an oral history of Prince I came across a conversation Toure had with LeRoy Bennett (lighting, stage and production designer for Prince from 1980 to 1994 and then husband of Brenda Bennett (Vanity 6)), where he speaks of watching Eraserhead numerous times with Prince. I realized that I’ve never seen it though I’ve seen other Lynch films. 🎥
I just found another interview w Bennett (Andrea Swensson, interviewer) where he also describes this experience:
“I don't know if I said this last time, but we spent a few times watching David Lynch's movie, Eraserhead together, just the two of us. I didn't think it was surreal as — looking back on it — the way I look at it now, it was a very surreal experience, because it's a bizarre movie. It's engaging but disturbing at the same time.

Right!

Because it doesn't really tell a story. It's just — it's more emotional — abstract emotion, and that really influenced me in a way that it started me to realize that you never want to be obvious about what you're trying to say. You give enough headroom for people to decide what it is.

I don't know if he was actually doing that on purpose, or it just happened to work out that that's what that movie meant to the both of us, and that bonding that way.“

What w that intriguing story, I decided I’d check it out.

Hi @barnswallow
David lynch you say? I absolutely adore that dude and i have seen his body of work about fifty thousand times . The mentioned film is a sensitive one, Actually, it was the first full feature film of Lynch I experienced back in the day ...and i would say that Eraserhead is a surreal spiritual entrapment of imagery & anxiety and it's not to be taken lightly.
.. It's consent , the aching we see that the main character is feeling, let alone breathing. I found it to have a solid meaning although it is broken down and maybe hidden in bite size prickly pieces of Phantasmagoria. Personally I think it's stages of Lynch's fear and pain laid bare. I was only a teen when I discovered that one...
Careful with it as It's not so easy to digest /process.
 
Elmo ? What Sesame Street ? lol @Adorecream76 Is this on Twitter? [or X as it is now called]

edit- Well it certainly ruffled some feathers haha

I saw a clip on YOUTUBE. I think that it is good. There are a lot of negative and gossip posts on
social media. Elmo is teaching kids to be kind and reminding the adults to do the same.

Many adults watched Sesame Street when they were kids. Sesame Street has been on since 1969.

I watched the show since the late 1970s.

Yeah I still love Elmo lol and Grover was fun. I remember alot of Muppet Show/ Seasame Street / Fraggles characters. I remember The Dark crystal . [1982] Jim Henson had a sparkling, elusive mindset. Pretty cool.
 
@W.Jr, I like comedy movies, romance, music-themes movies. Some of my favorite actors/comedians:
Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Eddie Murphy. And I have several music concerts and movies from:
Madonna, Prince, The Eagles, JLO, etc.
 
@Dalia I like music -themed too. I tend to go for biographys and dramas. Period/pasttime drama ,sci -fi , fiction , fantasy, dreamlike, dark and suspense. Actually that reminds me i have to check a dvd i ordered recently. Walk The Line [2006]
Eddie and Adam! You have good taste yeah, I like Eddie Murphy too. I'm pretty fond of Kevin Hart.
 
I like Judy Garland movies, Shirley Temple. Laurel And Hardy. Cher is another excellent actress and singer, one of my favorite movies is
"MoonStruck". Jack Nicholsen, "The Shinning". Barbra Streisand, "The Mirror Has Two Faces", "A Star Is Born".

In the late 1980s, me and my friends watched the scary movies.

I like Judy Garland. Don't think I've ever seen Moonstruck? but I certainly remember Mermaids. Oh , & the late 1987/89- 1990 Horror. cant beat those lol Troll 2 , Demons 2 , They just don't make scary like they used to, It's the noise and the ever-questioning atmosphere that gets me heightened.
