I watched Blue Velvet last night, as I'd heard it inspired parts of Silent Hill. Near as I can tell, aside from some plot similarities and the sound design when the main character is wandering around the apartment, it's really a distinct creature.
As for my thoughts on the movie itself, well, David Lynch sure knows how to make me, personally, feel like an alien completely out of touch with Earthling culture. This movie is lauded as "important" and "super serious", but I just don't GET it. I really don't know what it is, but when I watch a Lynch movie, I feel like I'm just missing some fundamental part of the human experience or something, because what I saw were a bunch of characters not, like, acting realistically. What am I MISSING?
I feel like this:
But I haven't reached that part at the end where it "clicks".
Same with Adventure Time, now that I think of it. Maybe I'll just need to lock myself in my room and watch every episode of that show in order until I "get" it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
