It’s a 17 minute film of typical Lynchian madness, and funny as hell. ---

That was a lot of fun. Glad it was 17 minutes long unlike that interminable rabbit thing. ---

> [@74westy](#): > > [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxKPBLjHAEA) rabbit thing. Wow. Interminable is the right word. I actually fell asleep during this. I dont know how it ended but I assume it was just more of the same. ---

Thanks for the link. I’m a big Lynch fan. Have a full sized Eraserhead movie poster over my desk! This was like a film noir version of Clutch Cargo. ---

I’m a huge David Lynch fan (thought Eraserhead was brilliant!) but this short didn’t do much for me. Glad to know about it, though. Gonna have to try the rabbit thing. The first few minutes seemed okay, but I’ll see how I feel further on. ---

What the fuck did I just watch? Props for shoving a hundred different colloquialisms in 17 minutes though. lol ---
