Reply to I just feel so betrayed by "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Someone humble me as to what I am missing. by goodmorninga
It's an important book to read for cultural literacy reasons, but it doesn't hold up all that well. I enjoy old books and movies, but most don't actually hold up well if you are expecting a similar experience to consuming contemporary media.

There aren't really concrete themes in his work. What you got out of Blue Velvet is likely all there is to get. David Lynch is much more about the vibe and surreal imagery and absurdist humor. Anyone who tells you they "get" a David Lynch movie just assumes their interpretation is correct. I liken the experience of watching one of his films to disassociating but in a fun way.

I'm pretty sure it would have come out a few years ago, were it not for covid. Just because you missed it doesn't mean it came out of nowhere.

Jean-Claude Van Damme is a great actor. He's way less ridiculous than any of the other action stars from that era and is also pretty funny.

I'm pretty sure not knowing is kinda the point since Jay is an idiot loudmouth. I used to be like that and I would say all kinds of dumb shit, true and false.
