You are tough Tommy (:
I usually always agree with you but
I liked Suicide Girls quite a bit and Crazy Clown Time is the best thing Lynch has ever done (as far as I can see)
You hated the Three Stooges in the end, Den? I think I missed your review. What is Littlerock?
The Suicide Girls thing could have been much more interesting than it ended up being. I see that they were playing it real to the girls involved, but if they made it seem much more realistic to the viewer, I would have liked it much more. Believe me, I love beautiful girls with tattoos as much as the next guy, but it wasn’t enough for me. And I’ve never been a big fan of Lynch. I like Eraserhead, Dune and Elephant Man. Other than that, I really don’t care for him.
