Eraserhead
First time father Henry Spencer tries to survive his industrial environment, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child. David Lynch arrived on the scene in 1977, almost like a mystical UFO gracing the landscape of LA with its enigmatic radiance. His inaugural work, "Eraserhead" (1977), stood out as a cinematic anomaly, painting a surreal narrative of a young man navigating a dystopian, industrialized America, grappling not only with his tumultuous home life but also contending with an irate girlfriend and a mutant child.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I'm not in the movie business but I was involved in the making of this movie 20 years ago in Dallas, Texas, and got screen credit for art direction and creating the tabloid newspaper. I didn't realize it had ever been released or shown anywhere. Lisa Loeb was just a teenager -- who knew she could even sing. I didn't realize it was her until I watched my tape with my kid years later and he recognized her. My friends were the writers and producers and I've lost contact with them through the years. Matt Devlen ... Schafer ... J.D., if you read this, e-mail me. As for the movie, it's a novel concept for a low-budget piece. Scenes involving people reading the same supermarket tab wrap around three stories that are printed on its pages.

I just saw this at an independent film festival in Tulsa OK. It has three different vignettes tied together as stories in a tabloid. In my opinion, the first (Baby born with a Beard) was the funniest of the three, the second (BBQ of the Dead) was the weakest, and the third (Town attacked by Killer Vacuum) was just average. The most interesting thing about the third was that it co-starred Lisa Loeb. Don't expect Oscar-winning material, but it's fun to watch.
