yeah... there's seems to be a relatively well fit together theory on the whole thing, based on hints that lynch gave out... i can't recall it right now... and as fun as it is to draw out these massive interpretations... the two most important parts of that film for me were:
-when the lesbian faces congeal -when we encounter that creepy looking ape thing behind the diner...
just a couple of sheer images that can stand alone without any narrative framework applied to them.... narrative is certainly a very good way to approach lynch's work, and film in general, but it needn't be the only way...

i just saw eraserhead for the first time recently as well. i thought it was a little boring, but it was still worth watching for its disturbing quality.
is it really about being a single father? that's something that popped into my mind while watching it but i figured it was too obvious.

i thought it was about the nightmares he had about getting a girl pregnant... (so basically, yeah, the fear of becoming a father...) but i personally interpreted this narrative about man in transition between the world of the living and the dead... i'd have to watch it again to remember exactly how i worked it...

dozier & deadeight: that was his very brief explanation of what eraserhead was to him. it took him a second to conjur that all into one phrase, though, so im sure thats a very simplified explanation.
