Have you seen the utter trash Cyborg II with a young Angelina Jolie?? I like the scene in Wild at Heart when they come across the car crash in the desert and Sherilyn Fenn is wondering around with a nasty head wound and severe concussion trying to find her handbag ... I LOVE GIGER, I have a small book published by Taschen (always reliable), and a big book on his film design work. Awesome! Cyborg tattoo … ha!

I'm very glad I decided that admiring H.R. Giger is far more rewarding in the pages of a book than on a young lady's skin. I haven't seen Wild at Heart in many moons, so I don't remember a lot about it. I love Laura Dern. That quote is fantastic!

Immediately! I love the production design of Dune, however, I wish Alejandro Jodorowsky had made the movie. He went into pre-production in the mid-70s with a big budget and H.R. Giger as production designer!! The tanks and worm designs looked amazing! But ultimately the financing feel through and he was forced to abandon the project. Posters still exist. Lynch is a very eccentric genius indeed. I'd love to meet him, but I wonder if I'd get a sensible answer. I was a huge fan of Twin Peaks first two seasons. My best buddy and I even planned a Twin Peaks party, but it never eventuated (I was going to come as Benjamin Horne). Inland Empire (which I reviewed) is very strange indeed, but par for the course for Lynch. My faves of his are Eraserhead, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, and Blue Velvet (would kill to see the complete version of that, but alas the negatives are now lost, there's a still montage of the missing scenes on the special edition DVD I have). I also have a soft spot for Wild at Heart ("This is my snakeskin jacket, my symbol of individuality and personal freedom!") ;-) Yes, you must. Immediately!

I must go out and get it ASAP! I've seen the complete version of Dune, love it. Watched it just the other day, actually. I never get tired of it. I love the whole series of Dune books as well. David Lynch is a mad genius. I like most of his work, although Inland Empire was a little too weird, even for me! Blue Velvet, Eraserhead, of course Twin Peaks and Dune...these are among my favorites. I don’t have the fancy version of this film yet, which is a tragedy isn’t it? I must go out and get it ASAP!

Although Fellini's 8 1/2 is a close second. I dip into it regularly, and I have the limited edition Deckard Briefcase with toy Spinner, origami unicorn, and all five discs, including the hugely anticipated "Workprint" version. Have you seen the complete version of Dune? I'm a big fan of David Lynch. Hi Natalina,

I love it. I could watch it once a day and never get tired of it. Well, perhaps once a week... But yes, wonderful film. Right up there with Dune for me. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

I recently read the book which was quite different. I tried to leve a few comments on your posts yesterday but I think there was a problem with your captcha mechanism. I reported the problem and by the looks of it, it's been fixed :) God I love this movie! I recently read the book which was quite different.

The question now is; when will it - and Alien - be re-made? Perish the thought. Karel, yes, well, as we’ve discussed; a rather curious anomaly.
