I also thought for a long time that it is a prostitute in the beginning of the movie. But in the more recently time I think about that she could be no prostitute. Maybe the male character hypnotized her in the bar and so can do whatever he wants with her. Telling her that she is a prostitue, for ex...

re

Where to place the Polish scene moves around for me. Things I've read keep passing by. It's been suggested that the indoor scene is part of the old 4 7 movie and that in other scenes the Gruszka character is the actress who played that part, as Nikki played Sue. But I can't quite pull the apart; ma...

Watch this

That's the reason it seems to me to be coming from Nikki; Nikki would not be able to dream the whole conversation in Polish, though Piotrek said that she understands more than she lets on. So Nikki may know a few words, enough to dream the couple of short greetings at the beginning, but after that ...

MTTH

TMM: As you can see, this board has been kind of dead lately and last few weeks it's just been me and MichaelPW, whose region 2 version of IE doesn't include MTTH etc. I wrote out the text of buying a watch; maybe you could write out this one." Nikki: Where you been? Nikki's Friend: I had the...

Rabbits

All I am saying here is that the movie, Rabbits, was made first, then parts of it were split up and put into IE. As I remember, at least most of what we see if not all is taken from the first episode. There are more episodes of Rabbits which are similar but are different with different lines etc. I...

Plenty of them here: http://deepdiscount.com

I picked up the Blue Velvet poster at a local music store a few months ago.

RE

I wish we'd had the chance to find out. Maybe it would have been a little different if a few years had passed and a cable company tried to do it instead, since ABC obviously didn't know what they had. And it's unfortunate that it made Lynch vow to give up on television because it would have been int...

I suppose Lynch can't oversee every facet of the DVD if it's a foreign language, so maybe it was just a miss in the translation. It seems to be like he does pay attention to the subtitling somewhat since there isn't a subtitle when the monkey says "Judy" in FWWM. As if that was something h...

RE

I'm not sure...does it seem like the Rabbits are there to observe or facilitate? Their dialogue is so abstract (I knew right away this was going to be a great film just by how bizarre that whole exchange was). What do they represent? At the seance, the three men turn into the Rabbits, which blurs th...

Re: RANDOM THOUGHTS III -- You have to be wearing the watch

I agree that the scene is coming from Nikki because she is the one who heard about the Gypsy Folk Tale, and the Gruszka character says a couple things that are characteristic of Nikki: "I don't speak it." (from her meeting with Mr. & Mrs. Zydowicz) and "I don't understand." ...

Suicide?

Assuming she is there with those psychic remnants. Do you think that buying a watch would mean here something like a suicide? I didn't think of it that way originally...if it was, it wouldn' seem to be a conscious attempt. As down-trodden as she appears in that scene, though, I think she's really j...

RANDOM THOUGHTS V -- Natassja Kinski in MTTH

The Natassja Kinski scene in MTTH. Some are assuming she is Nikki/Sue's sister but I viewed her as more of a friend than a relative. (Or she could be Nikki's friend and Sue's sister, but in the scene, she seems to be talking to Nikki if I remember correctly.) The consensus is that the man she met at...

RANDOM THOUGHTS IV -- Mr. K on the Phone

What does Mr. K say on the phone? We hear the thing about Crimp being around there somewhere and the horse to the well. Opinions vary on the last line and the DVD sort of does us a disservice in not offering subtitles in Englishbut it does have them in French. I've never had a French lesson in my li...

RANDOM THOUGHTS III -- You have to be wearing the watch

3) Someone commented of the scene in MTTH between the Lost Girl and the Phantom (where he sold her the watch) that it "doesn't represent anything on earth so it is a dream."That sounds more like the scene wouldn't conveniently fit into their theory so they dismissed it, but given the impor...

RANDOM THOUGHTS II -- CIGARETTE BURNS

In the séance scene, I think it is interesting that you can see a painting when Piotrek leaves of a woman's hand holding a red candle. This image repeats in the Rabbit room, when the standing Female Rabbit is holding two candles. I believe this also occurs when there is the hole in the top right of...
