watch it twice and you should be able to understand it, simple.

I remember when i first got the DVD and I wanted to make a point to my wife about some detail after the movie was over and BAM - he makes you watch it over from the beginning. No scene selection - Brilliant!

Haha, yea, that scene selection thing is sort of trippy.
Makes one wonder that a Special Edition should be in the works...

sorry for bumping this thread, but I had a question.
In the scene where Diane/Betty is on top of Camilla/Rita (they are both topless and about to make love, to jog your memory), did anyone else think that (after Rita says 'We should stop doing this') that the entire film was just them trying to fall in love with each other again. And this is what they do all the time, to keep their romance going. I know many couples do it, so I thought maybe that's what they were doing throughout the film. Like they would pretend like their didn't know each other, and then try and get with each again. It's a form of escapism, which Diane was really into.
Until I saw that Diane was actually just in a state of dreaming/hallucination. My theory didn't make sense after. I realized that everyone else in the film would've had to have been in on the entire adventure too, which seemed unlikely.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if I was crazy or not.

the wonderful thing about this movie is that is shows both sides of the same coin.
the one side, so shiny and (too) perfect and exactly like we SO BADLY want everthing to be.
the other, so dirty and neglected. exactly how things really are.

that's a cool concept, jaline. perhaps you should pen a story along those lines.
if you do, share it with me.

(Oct 27 05, 18:02)Agreed. When I first saw it, I was really wondering about if the character of Betty is how Americans think Canadians are like, specifically from Ontario (like myself). I'm sure there's some truth to it (ie. Betty being extra polite and happy, vs. Rita, who was more subdued and had obviously seen different things, even though she had amnesia: sort of like Canadians vs. Americans), but the concept was just exaggerated.
Thanks, Brian. I'll definitely share it with you.
The only disappointing thing about it was the DVD features, haha. But it's probably b/c David Lynch wants us to come up with our own theories.

yeah... uh... when any of you figure out why the old man and the old lady were really small and came out of that paper bag...
... and why that lesbian scene didn't last longer...
.... AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - AND I MEAN THIS!!!! I WANT THAT SONG THAT AMAZING LATINA SANG then proceeded to die after...
... so beautifully sung - absolutely amazing rendition of Roy Orbinson's Crying: http://www.rebekahdelrio.com/aud…
even more about the song here: http://www.rebekahdelrio.com/llo…
... oh man.... I'm going to blast this song now. btw - the mp3 i just posted is from rebekah delrio's site (she's the singer in the film - played herself too for anyone that cares :) )...
... and yeah - lynch... RAD STUFF... although - I was a little bummed out that Laura Palmer was killed by her Dad.... but then again - that DOES make SENSE.... but... BUT... I think that's why I don't like the fact that he's the killer... cuz Lynch isn't supposed to make sense?
oy vei... *bong sound...
