I've always loved this movie and finally got to see it in the theaters last night for the first time (I've watched the DVD a hundred times). Walking out I couldn't help but wonder how many people went to see this back in 1990 expecting a light romantic comedy? And the first 5 minutes are a barrage of heavy metal, bashed in heads, and cheap hotel room sex!

Still haunted by the roadside sequence with Sherilyn Fenn. It so perfectly captures Lynch's tendency to combine tragedy, beauty and death into one poetic scene.
