I have the same information from a woman who used to be his personal secretary for years. She described him as "stupefyingly boring" in real life (a trait that seems to have carried over into his work in this recent clip). He eats the same thing every day, at the same time every day, and never deviates. >From what she said, it's almost as if he's so weird inside that he compensates in his life by acting overly normal. There is quite possibly some OCD going down. > It could be that he's simply bored with the more > "traditional" style of making films, ie telling a > story with some kind of beginning, middle, and end, > and with the characters relating to each other in > something that at least tries to resemble real life... He *can* do that (The Straight Story), but IMO he goes for obscure whenever he needs money, because he knows that it sells. Americans are not quite the suckers for pretence and pomposity that the French are, but enough of the critics are to ensure a few good reviews, and thus a break-even at the box office, which is the most important thing to any director who hopes to direct another film after his current one. I don't personally like his style of filmmaking very much, but I have to say that almost *everything* he's ever released, *including* Eraserhead, has been better than the recent clip. That footage gives me no hope whatsoever for the final film. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
