Just wanted to share how fucking great this movie is.
Classic Lynch.

I looove it, like it's probably my all-time favourite movie,
or def. in the top five, anyway.

I love her.

uhhh...35 people! (wink, wink!)

:)

Yeah, it's just so unreal. Nothing else like it. The end
makes me so sad I start crying in agony for some weird
reason. Perhaps I'm insane, and this is the only movie I can
relate to.

www.dvdrhelp.com....

Europe is being denied the definitive DVD release of this
because of copyright laws, so if you want the best version
get the region one. It's the only Lynch film I haven't seen
I think in fact. I liked the main guy in Twin Peaks a lot
though. "There was a fish in the perculator!"

if you love strange visuals and textured sounds, you'll love
Eraserhead.

if that isn't very important to you, you probably won't like
it.

and then ofcourse there's the strange logic of the universe
presented in the film..

you mean the David Lynch authorized one? the one you can
only buy at David Lynch's site?

the one that costs $40? the one that'll cost you $40 to ship
to you?

(I'm not kidding - that's the CHEAPEST postage rate you can
choose on his site..)

I assume so - Total Film magazine told me that it's been
released to shops everywhere now though - except Europe of
course.

The industrial wasteland is so grey and depressing -- it's
great. It really makes you feel happy you live in the world
today.

I also think that Fats Waller's music adds something
definitive to the film.

David Lynch is my media studies teacher's assistant's
favourite direcotr, so I get to speak to him about it a lot.

fuck.

I mean, I would actually pay $40 for a spruced up version of
that film (and it has a long interview with Lynch about the
film on there too) - just not the same amount for
shippingcost.

Click movies at the bottom, then Eraserhead. It's got some
great behind-the-scenes images.

I second you on that. $40 is fucking rip off. He's crazy
that lynch guy to think people'll pay that.

No wait, he is crazy!

you know that song "in heaven, everything is fine"

the three notes from "in heaven" are a triad of notes that
the church banned way back in the day because they thought
it was dynamic

At a video store here, they have the official edition to
rent, but they require that you pay a $100 deposit that you
get back if it's returned safely.

I got my facts a little confused...

From Empire:

David Lynch has spent four years restoring his disturbing
debut Eraserhead for DVD. However, he's not allowed to sell
it to you. The pristine letterbox transfer is packaged in a
delicious Lynch-designed 82x82 square box, also containing a
lavish 20 pge booklet and a feature length on camera
interview with the direcot inwhich he relates the story of
the film's remarkable five-year gestation and birth.
Normally you could buy it online at Lynch's web site.
However, because Universal (who currently distribute the
version available in the UK) retains ownership of the UK DVD
rights until August 31, 2008, you won't be able to legally
order it - and don't even bother trying - for another give
years.
"We are trying to sort out the British deal" is all Lynch
will, though his frustration at the ubiquity of inferior
copies is evident. "It would probably make me sick if I saw
it", he recently said of the Japanese edition, despite it's
superiority to the flickery transfer available in the UK. Of
course, if you have a friend in the US, or can drop by
Amoeba Records in LA... just don't say we encouraged you.

Only the UK has the problem then, not Europe. I wonder if
you're allowed to sell it on ebay then...

the soundtrack is excellent too!

modest mouse did a song where the final line that repeats is
"in heaven everything is fine...in heaven everything's
alright"
forgot the name of the song though....its on building
nothing out of something...anyways i bought that cd right
after seeing the movie, and it totally freaked me out. i was
like, "whoah!"

I wanted to order the remastered Eraserhead soundtrack from
mr. Lynch's site, only $15, which I thought was reasonable.

sadly, the shippingcost is the same for everything.

$40 for a cd? fuck off.

that said, Alan Splett, who did all the sounddesign on
Lynch's movies up till Lost Highway (Lynch did his own
sounddesign on that one) was a genius.

there's a boxed set with his soundscapes made for Lynch, but
it was priced somewhere around $200.. yet again: fuck off.
