I love Mulholland Dr., The Straight Story, The Elephant Man,
and Blue Velvet. Even Lost Highway has its moments.
Eraserhead was enjoyable, but I never want to watch it
again.

But Inland Empire, I felt, was just a big penis slap in the
face. It's too long, it's ugly, it's boring, and it has none
of the Lynchian humour that Mulholland Dr. had.

Well, maybe some of us like "a big penis slap in the
face"? It has a lot of humour. There are some great
dialogues:

"-Look at me, and tell me if you've known me before...
-ok, we will..."

" - Bam! I Kicked him straight in the balls so hard they go
crawling into his brain for refuge - he went down like a two
dollar whore [...] When the police came and they asked what
happened, I told them "He's reaping what he's been sowing,
that's what." They said "Fucker been sowing some pretty
heavy shit."

-There are consequences to one's actions. And there
certainly would be consequences to wrong actions. Dark they
would be, and inescapable."

Pure Lynchian humour :)

I agree that it was too long when it came to the middle
section with all that Polish wank and random barbeques and
the dreadfully long conversations. I just wanted some more
Lynchian build ups, not cuts from one boring scene with
people doing nothing much to cuts of another boring scene
with ugly Polish men doing nothing much.

But it was a good film.
