I would suggest a similarity between David Lynch and his fans and Maharishi and his. Lynch's primary appreciators seem to be critics and viewers who are either adolescents or delayed adolescents who are impressed with dark, moody pretension, and don't seem to notice when it repeats itself endlessly. Maharishi essentially gave the same introductory lecture on kindergarten-level spirituality for 50 years, dressing up standard Hindu superstition in a succession of new terms without ever saying anything new. And again, no one noticed the repetition. Why would you say that? How do you know? Not that your "critique" is necessarily accurate but the man hardly held me spellbound and yes, I found him boring and somewhat repetitive but he wasn't talking to the same audience all the time. Not being enthralled with MMY or overly enthusiastic about TM would explain why I never ran off to become a TM teacher. But to say "no one noticed" is ridiculous.

This is the sort of stuff my friends in film school were doing in 1969. It's adolescent poseur stuff. I didn't get as far as watching the video. I think DL had some good ideas in the early days but his stuff seems really lazy now. In inland empire he'd have a conversation going on between two characters and someone will walk past in the background with a fish mask on. Yeah, it's technically surreal but so what? It isn't like he's making any clever points about the human unconscious , it's all just art for arts sake. And Mulholland Drive was a wasted opportunity IMO, all those great actors and he decided to "leave it up to the viewer to decide which bits were real or not" That sort of laziness makes even Eraserhead feel really shallow to me now. I bet Elephant Man is still good though, but that's about it. Rant over. "Penny Dreadful" is much better, and it's just television. :-) Yes. I'm looking forward to that one.
