The Burden Of Intelligence

Last night I finally went to see Inland Empire, the latest movie by David Lynch. I can't be thankful enough for my angelic patience that showed itself once again during this 180-minute-long delusion. Being a long time Lynch fan, I knew exactly what to expect and how to deal with the movie, which, apparently, a big part of the audience didn't. Little teenage girls and elderly couples walked out every 5 minutes. That screening sure produced some angry people. The rest of them, around 100 people whom I call quality audience (or at least those who weren't sleeping), stayed until after the credits and applauded. I will have to get another go at it, to understand and evaluate.
