No movie featuring Harry Dean Stanton in a supporting role can be altogether bad

Pah! I've been press-ganged into this. I have a ferocious head-ache after listening to the whole of Captain Beefheart's 'Trout-Mask Replica', then Tom Waits' 'Bastards' followed by 'Disco Hits of the 1970's' - the situation has been exacerbated by 'Play that Funky Music [White Boy]' seemingly playing on a loop.

Naturally enough there is something cheering me at present; aside from this delicious Cabernet Sauvignon courtesy of the good people at Casa Lapostolle. That being the forthcoming release of the latest David Lynch film: 'INLAND EMPIRE'. Mr Lynch, another photogenic character, is simultaneously exhibiting a major art retrospective at the Fondation Cartier. Both of these are earning 'rave reviews' - I can't possibly comment - but I'll be off to my local Odeon come March 9th (film) and hopefully Paris before May 27th (exhibition).
