Some posters seem to think the reason why INLAND EMPIRE also includes the description:
A WOMAN in TROUBLE
on the DVD cover means she feels GUILTY for having betrayed her husband.
But when we look at the TRANSCRIPTS ...
PLEASE NOTE the way in which we find NO EVIDENCE whatsoever that the WOMAN in TROUBLE feels GUILTY about CHEATING on her MATE:
SUE
Seen a guy come at me with a crowbar once. Guess he figured I was two-timing him. I was coming home, we were shacked up at the time. He was waiting for me in the half-light. Waiting for me to come home. Guess he had worked himself into some kind of frenzy.
I open the fking door ... and I see this fking shape burst out of the chair…
and a crowbar going up. I scream, and turn. Fking crowbar comes down, smashing in that fking door, cheap piece of *beep* It just splinters into a thousand pieces, like it was glass, *beep* flying everywhere.
I don’t take this kind of behavior. I see what this fker was up to.
BAM!
I kick him in the nuts so hard he go crawling up inside his brain for a refuge.
He goes down like a two dollar whore.
Crying and *beep* telling me he’s done nothing but love me and *beep*
MR. K
Were you in fact seeing another man?
SUE
I screwed a couple guys for drinks, no big deal.
This one guy was kinda cute. Fker had a dick like a rhinoceros. He’d fk the $hit out of you, I tell you what. He’d buy me a couple of drinks after. We’d talk, he’d tell me about the town he grew up in. All the little girls he fked.
There was a chemical factory in this town, and he’d tell me it was putting so much $hit in the air you couldn’t think straight. It got to a lot of the people. There was a lot of crazy $hit going on there. People having weird dreams, seeing things that wasn’t there. This one time, this one little girl. She was staring off at something one time. Starts screaming. The people hanging round come to her and ask what’s wrong, and uh, she says she sees the end of the world. All fire and smoke and blood running. You know, like they say, the wailing and the gnashing of the teeth.
So NOT only does this WOMAN feel NO GUILT whatsoever for having SCREWED A COUPLE of GUYS for DRINKS ...
and tell MR. K that IT WAS NO BIG DEAL ...
but she also BRAGS about what a HUGE PENIS this other guy has ...
and explains how this MAN with HUGE BODY PART would also ACTUALLY SPEND TIME with her ...
and TELL HER STORIES ...
which is probably also NOT something the other man she lives with does ...
because we also SEE the way he IGNORES HER most of the time whenever
we see her LIVING inside of SMITHY'S HOUSE.
Therefore, when someone claims this is a story about THE GUILT a WOMAN FEELS over having CHEATED on her MATE ...
and they also say that's the reason WHY they think she's a WOMAN in TROUBLE ...
this is also NOT a PERSON who PAYS CLOSE ENOUGH ATTENTION to the STORY or to what the WOMAN in TROUBLE tells MR. K.
Still more details regarding the relationships of the WOMAN in TROUBLE with other men can be found here on the OLD TALE TOPIC:

Still more details regarding the relationships of the WOMAN in TROUBLE with other men can be found here on the OLD TALE TOPIC:
The Evil that has followed thus "little boy" is the mistreatment of women; the "dark side" (or reflection) of manhood.
But by taking on the role of "Sue" in the movie, by becoming the receptacle for the remake's "curse," Nikki has crossed the gate and become aware of the collective memory of abuse in the "sisterhood" of women ...
In very simple, horror movie terms ...
That "old tale" is about how men treat women poorly, like Billy treats Sue, or like Nikki's husband threatens her.
So MISTREATMENT by the MEN in her life is the reason why the WOMAN is IN TROUBLE.
due to the way SPEAR'S COMPULSION to keep REPEATING HIMSELF has REARED it's STUBBORN HEAD AGAIN ...
and he's once again claiming the WOMAN in TROUBLE ...
who FEELS NO GUILT at sleeping with guys for drinks ...
feels GUILTY when she obviously DOES NOT.
And Here's a really interesting article where it suggests the WOMAN in TROUBLE may also represent CINEMA itself being IN TROUBLE:
In a nameless city, deluged by a continuous rain, three rabbits live with a fearful mystery (DavidLynch.com)
Inland Empire is tableaux in form – revealing Lynch at his most episodic. The Rabbits are just one of multiple tableaux ‘inserted’ into the feature form.
This approach to form/structure reworks the MTV style of the 1990s. Specifically, his Rabbits recall the stylised-sitcom of Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers (1994). In this light, the form of Inland Empire is an assemblage of ‘clips’
the feature is exploited as a vessel for various past/present Lynchian worlds absorbed from television, the web and fine art: Twin Peaks; Mulholland Drive; Rabbits; Dumbland and Axxon N. (which exist is various stages of (in)complettion).
Inland Empire represents a (productive) destruction of the feature film:
on narrative, form and aesthetics.
As the ‘digital insurgency’ grows stronger in the cinema (as more visionaries ‘go digital’ such as Figgis, Kiarostami, Von Trier and now Lynch) – it seems that the cinema is, indeed, in Trouble.
The death of celluloid is close. But the death of the cinema? No way. Digital cinema is proving a catalyst for the re(evaluation) of our one hundred-plus years history of the projected moving image. Inland Empire is a film (aesthetically, if not politically) which recalls another time of ‘trouble’ in the cinema. That of the French New Wave.
In 1967 Jean-Luc Godard described Week End as “a film adrift in the cosmos” and “a film found on a scrap heap”. Some forty years later this provides apt description for the weird and wonderful Inland Empire .
So could the MORPHING RABBITS who CHANGE into HUMANS (and the OLD COUPLE who refers to DERN as being a HALF ... HALF HUMAN/HALF RABBIT) represent the way CINEMA is also MORPHING and CHANGING into another different FORM??
The feature is exploited as a vessel for various past/present Lynchian worlds absorbed from television, the web and fine art: Twin Peaks; Mulholland Drive; Rabbits; Dumbland and Axxon N. (which exist is various stages of (in)complettion).
(Not just art, but also life---the westward expansion, the Civil War, the history and fate of smaller industrial towns and cities of the U.S. However, ...)
Why I think the rabbits are essentially dust bunnies.
Remember the scene at the Great Northern Hotel in Twin Peaks that takes place during a power failure?

They were also saying the price of a ticket is suppose to cost $20 per person. So a family of 4 would also have to pay $80 admission fee, then another $20 for popcorn and drinks or other snacks, making a night out to see a film cost them about $100.
And with that kind of cost is it any wonder why they'd only make 3 or 4 films per year???
Most Americans are also tired of the non stop sequels as well, but they keep producing them anyhow due to the way China has an audience for that kind of thing.
So the GLOBALIZATION process is also responsible for the DEATH of TRADITIONAL CINEMA???
Whatever the case may be, wonder if The SCENE where we see DERN sitting there in the RAIN and the way it is RAINING where the RABBITS are located has a CONNECTION of some kind???
Also wonder if it's possible DERN kills JUSTIN (as DEVON/BILLY) after she tells him to LOOK in the OTHER ROOM???
And what's in that other room?
The DEAD BODY of LUCAS???
The other EVIL TWIN COPY of DERN???
It's also the appearance of the TWIN COPY of DERN that prevents us from finding out what's in this OTHER ROOM during the REHEARSAL for SCENE 35.
And the RABBITS also seem to hear FOOTSTEPS 3 TIMES before JACK opens to the door.
And didn't DERN also walk around in that hallway about 3 times before she SHOOTS the PHANTOM???
He made an appointment for me to see a man. }I went to this place. They made me wait there forever. There was a guy guarding the door. In another room, there was this other guy lifting weights. I started getting nervous. When it got dark ... they brought me into this other room. Why didn't you just leave? You liked it, huh? If you want me to go away, I'll go away. I don't want you to go away. I don't want you to go away.
Please refrain from decorating text as much as possible. Thanks.
WHY CAN WE JUST ALL GET ALONG EVERYONE SEEMS TO GET ANGRY IN HERE WHY? IS IT INTELLECTUAL SUPERIORITY WHICH IS DUMB AS SUCH THINGS IN REALITY DO NOT EXIST EXCEPT IN THE MINDS OF THE WEAK AND INFERIOR Lynch should make a movie about that INTERIOR DELUSIONS
THIS DISCUSSION IS OBSERVATIONAL BUT MOSTLY SUBJECTIVE AS THERE CAN BE MORE THAN ONE MEANING IN SUCH SYMBOLS AS RABBITS FOR EXAMPLE. RABBITS CAN BE ABOUT CONSTANT REPRODUCTION WHICH COULD SYMBOLISE CONSTANT REMAKES
David Lynch: 'Watching movies on a smartphone is pathetic'
There are clues everywhere--all around us. But the puzzle maker is clever. The clues, although surrounding us, are somehow mistaken for something else. And the something else--the *wrong* interpretation of the clues--we call our world. Our world is a magical smoke screen. How should we interpret the happy song of the meadowlark, or the robust flavor of a wild strawberry?
Lynch’s films are not mere dime store allegories or mixed metaphors.
These aren’t puzzle films where a singular solution exists between the frames, like a “Memento” or “The Usual Suspects”.
Lynch wouldn’t steep to so low a goal.
There isn’t meant to be a single solution:
His films are what they are ...
Lynch lets things hang loose, evoking a sense of dread in a scene without letting us know precisely the nature of the dread. That’s our job to fill in.
Those are David Lynch's words. He wrote the Log Lady introductions. And I don't think he was referring to himself either, but to the irreducible nature that anyone in an encounter with it is trying to grasp. The nature of the world is that some things are irresolvable. Film, or art, is unlikely to be able to lessen this effect, or at least we cannot count on them to.

Just thought you'd find it interesting how this OTHER PERSON who wrote that OTHER ARTICLE felt about LYNCH FILMS being PUZZELS.
Isn't it also interesting how people can look at the SAME THING and come to completely different conclusions or POINTS of VIEW about what the meaning of it involves???
And when OTHERS who view LYNCH FILMS can't come to an agreement about what they see happening, or what they think, then why should any of the rest of us HERE at this forum be able to AGREE with one another about whatever it is we think???
You’re really into Transcendental Meditation (TM) and set up the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace to promote the practice. To what extent did your use of TM inform INLAND EMPIRE?
LYNCH:
Wow, we’ll get into that. OK. Trancendental Meditation is a mental technique which allows any human being to dive within. And diving within one experiences subtler levels of mind and intellect and then at the border, one transcends and experiences this ocean, unbounded, infinite, eternal, pure consciousness, modern science’s unified field, the kingdom of heaven, the absolute, totality, absolute intelligence, creativity, bliss, energy, dynamic peace: all these qualities exist in this unmanifest field at the base of mind and the base of matter. The experiencing of this deepest level enlivens it and one grows in those qualities, and they say it’s a holistic experience. It’s the only experience – transcending, experiencing this deepest level – that lights the full brain on the EEG machine. And we’ve been told we only use 5 to 10 per cent of our whole brain and here’s the whole brain engaged with this experience. And so what happens is consciousness starts expanding, bliss starts expanding, intelligence in understanding, wakefulness, awareness, appreciation, all avenues of life get better, creativity flows and the side effect of this is negativity begins to recede. Things like anger, anxiety, stress, fear, depression, sorrow, they start to go, clearing the way for, woah, enjoyment of the doing, appreciation magnified, energy to do the things, without that heavy weight that kills creative flow, and things get very, very, very good. Intuition grows, it’s an ocean of knowingness, pure knowingness, unbelievable bliss, physical, emotional, spiritual happiness – boom, giant, unique experiences, but so familiar. It’s a beautiful thing. Regular diving in, diving in, it’s like going to the treasury every day and getting more and more and more and you carry this with you more. So it feeds the creative process, feeds the enjoyment of the doing, and people like coming to sit next to you and give you money.
Wow, thanks, David.
Obviously some of us around here also seem to be MORE BLISSFUL and CREATIVE than others of us??? And that also seems to arouse some RESENTMENT on the part of those others who are LESS CREATIVE???
"Obviously some of us around here also seem to be MORE BLISSFUL and CREATIVE than others of us??? And that also seems to arouse some RESENTMENT on the part of those others who are LESS CREATIVE???"
The creator left his masterpiece and now all we can do is try to understand what's it all about. This board should not be a creativity contest or a tribune for protecting or distributing personal superiority. Maybe if we preliminary would try to understand eachother and from there enjoy the ride. Then, maybe, maybe, maybe ... we might make a few small steps in changing this board into a place where people would feel invited, where they could increase their understanding, where they can express their thoughts freely, where they can share their curiosity or pleasure, all on behalf of the beauty of David Lynch's magnum opus, INLAND EMPIRE. Deleting messages and overly decorating texts do not seem to contribute in that effort. Seriously I've tried several times to understand different interpretations. And I do remember a lot of them and the very heart of them, one by one. I also know that Spear really did his best in organizing some structure in the exchange of ideas (kuddos for him, really), but there were always a few among us who had a hidden agenda, and started to show disrespect, frustration, and most and for all they appeared not willing to understand something different than their own personal view. So sad, so sad.
163 00:22:52,660 --> 00:22:53,702 Don't even think about it...
164 00:22:54,015 --> 00:22:57,456 ...If l don't kill you, her husband will, and he is THE most powerful guy around.
165 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,689 He knows everything. There is not a thing he does'nt know.
166 00:23:00,897 --> 00:23:03,295 I can tell you stories that would curl your hair.
167 00:23:04,025 --> 00:23:06,006 So listen to me when l tell you.
168 00:23:06,111 --> 00:23:09,760 Around Nikki, keep it in your pants.
169 00:23:10,595 --> 00:23:12,888 What the *beep* are you guys talking about?
170 00:23:12,992 --> 00:23:16,851 She's a nice girl, she's so far from my style, it's not even funny.
171 00:23:16,955 --> 00:23:21,125 Beautiful, Devon. Great. We'll be able to sleep tonight
172 00:23:23,315 --> 00:23:27,070 You gotta admit though... She's got a nice ass.
Doesn't sound like Devon's had sex yet with NIKI in this scene.
Later in the BLUE BEDROOM SCENE NIKI also says it's their FIRST TIME.
And when the PHANTOM says IT GLOWS within HIM like GOLD, how could HE BE PREGNANT???
When MARILYN says NIKI GLOWED it sounds more like she means she SHINES BRIGHTLY and did really well on her SHOW in comparison to Devon who tells MARILYN if she's looking for SHOCK VALUE to LOOK in the MIRROR.
And, Devon, your naughty boy, are you hiding a smile?
145 00:21:42,797 --> 00:21:45,821 Is your devilish mind scheming?
146 00:21:48,949 --> 00:21:52,285 If you're looking for shock value Marilyn, l suggest that you look in the mirror.
147 00:21:55,310 --> 00:21:57,917 What a bitting wit!
But l tell you this: Marilyn Levins is going to be watching,
149 00:22:03,547 --> 00:22:07,927 and she will be reporting to you everything she finds out!
150 00:22:08,448 --> 00:22:15,434 There, and there, and there and beyond around the world!
Wonder if the PHANTOM works for MARILYN??? This WATCH STUFF sounds like what he tells LOST GIRL in MTTH when he says he'll WATCH OVER HER if she buys the WATCH from him.
Maybe some of DEVON'S ENTOURAGE are on her PAYROLL as well???
That may also be the reason why the encourage DEVON to SCREW NIKI by saying how nice her butt is???
1.Give out steady light without flame: "their cigarettes glowed". 2.Have an intense color and a slight shine: "faces that glowed red with the cold".
Since NIKI uses the CIGARETTE to BURN the HOLE in the SILK ...
as LOST GIRL INSTRUCTS her to do ...
as a way to be able TO SEE ...
whatever it is that is JUST DOWN THE WAY ...
on the street in POLAND ...
PERHAPS that HOLE she burns into the SILK with the CIGARETTE is what GLOWS within THE PHANTOM ...
and gives him THE OPENING that he tells JANEK he wants ...
when we first meet and encounter him having the conversation with JANEK inside of the PALACE with the PINK WALLS???
glow (gl) intr.v. glowed, glow·ing, glows
1. To shine brightly and steadily, especially without a flame: Embers glowed in the furnace.
2. a. To have a bright, warm, usually reddish color: The children's cheeks glowed from the cold.
b. To flush; blush.
3. To be exuberant or radiant: parents glowing with pride.
n. 1. A light produced by a body heated to luminosity; incandescence.
2. Brilliance or warmth of color, especially redness: "the evening glow of the city streets when the sun has gone behind the tallest houses" (Seán O'Faoláin).
3. A sensation of physical warmth.
4. A warm feeling, as of pleasure or well-being.
Each time JACK RABBIT enters the RABBIT ROOM he gets APPLAUSE.
Each time we see DERN (before she enters the AXXON N DOOR) she's getting lots PRAISE from KINGSLEY or MARILYN.
And we also know the PHANTOM is also a PERFORMER ...
who TALKS up the CIRCUS CROWD ...
so maybe THE PHANTOM is also a JEALOUS and ENVIOUS PERFORMER who RESENTS the performance of other PERFORMERS???
And this is why he wants to GET INSIDE of the RABBIT ROOM???
So he'll have ACCESS to the AUDIENCE who CLAPS for JACK ???
BUT DERN BLOCKS his way and GETS INSIDE of the RABBIT ROOM instead of him???
So each time she ENTERS the RABBIT ROOM from now on she'll also be the one who will get the APPLAUSE???
One thing that's CLEAR enough is the way THE PHANTOM is A BULLY.
And here's what we know about them:
Studies have shown that envy and resentment may be motives for bullying.[22]
Research on the self-esteem of bullies has produced equivocal results.[23][24] While some bullies are arrogant and narcissistic,[25] bullies can also use bullying as a tool to conceal shame or anxiety or to boost self-esteem:
by demeaning others, the abuser feels empowered.[26]
Bullies may bully out of jealousy or because they themselves are bullied.[27]
Some have argued that a bully reflects the environment of his home, repeating the model he learned from his parents.[28]
Chances are probably also pretty good that THE ONE LEG SISTER was also BULLIED by her brother. He may also be the REASON why she's missing one of her legs.
Each time JACK RABBIT enters the RABBIT ROOM he gets APPLAUSE.
Each time we see DERN (before she enters the AXXON N DOOR) she's getting lots PRAISE from KINGSLEY or from MARILYN.
And we also know the PHANTOM is also a PERFORMER ...
who TALKS up the CIRCUS CROWD ...
so maybe THE PHANTOM is also a JEALOUS and ENVIOUS PERFORMER who RESENTS the performance of these other PERFORMERS???
And this is why he wants to GET INSIDE of the RABBIT ROOM???
So he'll have ACCESS to the AUDIENCE who CLAPS for JACK ???
BUT DERN BLOCKS his way and GETS INSIDE of the RABBIT ROOM instead of him???
So each time she ENTERS the RABBIT ROOM from now on she'll also be the one who will get the APPLAUSE???
And maybe it's also the APPLAUSE which GLOWS like GOLD within these PERFORMERS???
Chances are probably also pretty good that THE ONE LEG SISTER was also BULLIED by her brother. He may also be the REASON why she's missing one of her legs.
And her MISSING LEG may also be the reason why she YANKS OUT THE MISSING EYE of the guy who tried to RAPE her at age 15.
And this situation also leads to the HEAD of KIDDO sitting on the SHELF in the FRIDGE ...
along with his PENIS ...
because she was also being BULLIED by her sister's BOY TOY ...
who was also responsible for her ICE CREAM melting.
this SB character who I KNOW is watching me, probably watching us, here
Who or what is SB LP???
xxpo has NO IDEA what SB is in reference to.
Have you purchased a GOLD WATCH with a GREEN TINT to it's face from someone???
Have you also been BURNING HOLES into SILK with some CIGARETTES or something???
xxpo, there is that severed head and penis again...
what the hell is up with that anyway?
Its driving certain people crazy in here apparently... lol,
so maybe we can clear this up a little bit.
Did the narrator of that story ever say that they actually DID chop off a choda and sever a head, or was it just a THREAT that they made in response to Kiddo's sexual advances?
Certain people around here are driving themselves crazy with their ENVY and JEALOUSY.
And Yes you're right we NEVER ACTUALLY SEE the PENIS or KIDDO'S HEAD sitting on the SHELF in the FRIDGE ...
but we HEAR ABOUT IT ...
and we also never SEE the DEAD BODY laying there on the FLOOR ...
after DERN LOOKS DOWN at something and we see her GOLDEN HAIR FLOWING around her FACE like A HALO ...
but we see the INDICATION from the LOOK on her face that SHE'S MOST LIKELY KILLED this person we saw ATTACKING her.
RIGHT???
And from what we HEARD about the way KIDDO keeps being a BULLY ...
by making her keep her things on that MOLDY SHELF in the FRIDGE ...
(Great RESEARCH BTW about the EFFECTS of eating MOLD) ...
we can probably also DEDUCE that KIDDO isn't the TYPE who is going to STOP BEING A BULLY.
Because with his getting away with TORMENTING HER up to this point ...
he's also NOT GOING to UNDERSTAND how there comes a POINT IN TIME where it's TIME for the TORMENT to STOP.
So what we get is that other SCENE where we see DERN SITTING in the BACK PART of the HOUSE ...
an area WHERE she also tells us she SLEEPS on the BACK PORCH part of the house ...
SITTING THERE IN THE RAIN ...
with the SAME KIND of HORRIFIC LOOK on her face as in the OTHER SCENE ...
where we see her GOLDEN HAIR GLOWING like a HALO ...
as she LOOKS DOWN at something ON THE FLOOR.
AND isn't this situation also REALLY the HEART of the MATTER LP:
TOPIC TITLE: Re: The OLD TALE goes in a NEW and Different Direction ...
His name was … it doesn’t matter what his name was.
A lot of guys change. They don’t change, but they reveal.
In time, they reveal what they really are.
You know what I mean?
It’s an old story.
After this INTRODUCTION where she REVEALS what MEN are like comes a series of stories about them ...
begining with a story about an attempted RAPE:
Well, this guy … he revealed something. Looking back on it … along it was being revealed.
He was planning something. Planning something with me in mind. When I get mad, I really get mad.
I gouged a man’s EYE out when I was fifteen once.[b] He was trying to rape me.
I mean, the FU*CKER had it out. He was pushing my legs apart. I got a finger in his eye socket. Pretty quick, rape was a long way off his mind.
He was crying and screaming like a baby.
“What a *beep* man you are,” I said.
There was goo. But he could still see me with the one eye …
see me coming at him…
grabbing his nuts and tearing at ‘em.
He seen that, all right, and felt it, too.
He was screamin’ and wailin’ like a little baby, sittin’ in the corner and crying… moaning and hugging his nuts till the ambulance come.
The ambulance guys … they say, “What the *beep* happened here?”
I say, “He come to a reaping what he been sowing, that’s what.”
They say, *beep* been sowing some kind of heavy *beep*
PLEASE also note how this is the place where the OLD STORY takes a NEW TURN
due to the way in which the PREDATOR becomes a VICTIM of his PREY.
PLEASE also NOTE how this part of the STORY also contributes to what later happens
... after she's BRUTALLY ATTACKED again by the HUSBAND ...
in the scene where she's seen WEARING the PEACH COLORED NIGHT GOWN or SLIP:
There was this man I once knew.
I’m trying to tell you so you’ll understand how it went.
The thing is, I don’t know what was before or after. I don’t know what happened first. And it’s kinda laid a mind-*beep* on me.
My husband … he’s *beep* hiding something. He was acting all *beep* weird one night before he left … he was talking this foreign talk … and telling loud *beep* stories …
(intercut with her being beaten by her husband)
Like this, his face all red. His eyes bugging out.
I figured one day I’d wake up and figure out just what yesterday was all about.
PLEASE also NOTE how this is where WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY ...
with the ATTEMTPED RAPE ...
becomes THE BLUE PRINT for what happens NEXT ...
or THE DAY when she's attacked by the HUSBAND.
And just like she DEFENDS herself against her RAPIST ...
she also goes into DEFENSE MODE again ...
to DEFEND herself again from this BRUTAL ATTACK as well.
Only this time the ATTACKER ends up DEAD ...
and there's NO NEED to call for an ambulance.
And this is also the reason why we see her FACE LOOKING DOWN at him ...
but he SAYS NOTHING to her as his DEAD EYES STARE back up into her FACE ...
in that scene that begins with his BRUTALLY BEATING her.
Apparently this also wasn't the FIRST or the SECOND time she's been attacked by a man ...
because we also have this other story where she's attacked by still another DIFFERENT MAN:
Seen a guy come at me with a crowbar once.
Guess he figured I was two-timing him.
I was coming home, we were shacked up at the time.
He was waiting for me in the half-light.
Waiting for me to come home.
Guess he had worked himself into some kind of frenzy. I open the *beep* door … and I see this *beep* shape burst out of the chair … and a crowbar going up. I scream, and turn.
*beep* crowbar comes down, smashing in that *beep* door, cheap piece of *beep* It just splinters into a thousand pieces, like it was glass, *beep* flying everywhere.
I don’t take this kind of behavior. I see what this *beep* was up to.
BAM!
I kick him in the nuts so hard he go crawling up inside his brain for a refuge.
He goes down like a two dollar whore.
Crying and *beep* telling me he’s done nothing but love me and *beep*
So our OLD STORY also takes a NEW TURN ...
when it takes on a NEW MEANING ...
due to the way in which this is also a WOMAN who FIGHTS BACK ...
and KILLS HER PREDATOR ...
rather than end up being HIS VICTIM or his PREY.
SO ...
could it also be possible that the scene where LOST GIRL is BEATEN also ends up with her also looking DOWN at THE PHANTOM ...
who's DEAD EYES STARE BACK UP into her FACE???
Or would this only be a situation that happens in the REMAKE VERSION of the AXXON N TALE???
HOW COME EVERYBODY IN THE LYNCH RETINUE, the ones he has personally touched by putting in a film or working with, HOW COME everybody is so quiet these days... huh? whats going on thats what I would like to know ...
there are many and various people who are staying pretty quiet and mum ALL THE WAY AROUND these days... like something's happening... (or something)
Are you suggesting the reason why they are quiet might have something to do with their being BUSY with the PRE PRODUCTION of another TV SHOW???
If so, then also keeping FINGERS CROSSED that means we've got another LYNCH STORY on the way sometime soon.
Also read something where LYNCH said someone else he knows had a BIG MOUTH because they'd said something about the SEQUEL to TP being made???
when someone claims this is a story about THE GUILT a WOMAN FEELS over having CHEATED on her MATE ...
and they also say that's the reason WHY they think she's a WOMAN in TROUBLE ...
this is also NOT a PERSON who PAYS CLOSE ENOUGH ATTENTION to the STORY or to what the WOMAN in TROUBLE tells MR. K.
When the WOMAN tells MR. K about cutting off the COCK of KIDDO and sitting it on the shelf in the FRIDGE, she also has NO GUILT about having done this.
And Why should she feel any GUILT or REMORSE after the way KIDDO has tormented her???

Perhaps the NEW POSTER may also offer us some insight into this matter???
Only did read a few posts on this Board till now. For sure you or somebody else mentioned this greenbefore:
green room (with the rabbits) green sofa (young woman crying) green dress of the creepy neighbour (she could play a modern Hänsel-and-Gretel-hag) green patterned coffee-cups (while talking with the creepy neighbour) green lamp in the background, light green (maybe randomly, but nothing in Lynch's movies is random) green fruits in the bowl, with one yellow lemon between and one yellow lemon beside (when her creepy husband talks with Devon Burk...her husband looks like a sneaky hare; that was one of the clips you linked at the Vikings: "The bonds of marriage are real bonds") green shirt (when Billy asks her to stay for dinner) green patterned shirt (when Devon invites her for dinner...film and reality start to merge) suddenly she wears a red shirt, complementary colour of green, first time she realizes, movie and reality gets confused. green patterned shirt, another one, green handbag and a light green barrel (when she sees herself on the film set the day before, in the time loop...and the strange money-loaner/info-agent realized there's someone in the background) green jacket guy behind the window, light green as the barrel (when she runs away from the film-set) green patterned carpet (when Nikki/Sue was locked in the Motel-room, suddenly the door is open again) green bed-cover (in the Motel-room) Suddenly the green rabbit-room turns red (after the young ladies/prostitutes appeared and the young crying woman re-appeared), then the rabbit-room changes to green for a short and then to red again. Later Nikki/Sue calls with a red phone the green rabbit-room. And so on, and so on...colours are anyhow very important in this movie. The colour green stands for hope in our culture; in USA the same?
"Grün, grün, grün sind alle meine Kleider...weil mein Schatz ein Jäger ist." "Green, green, green are all my clothes...cause my darling is a hunter." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wNgZq9vBTc
Had to search for that "Dorothy...." on the Walk of Fame (short after Nikki/Sue got the screwdriver in her stomach from Doris). Wasn't even able to read the complete name, when made a screenshot. Is it true, it's Dorothy Vellens, Isabella Rossellini's role-name in "Blue Velvet"? Others said, it's Dorothy Lamour? An interesting woman, this Mrs. Lamour...aside other details: "Lamour is named in the film J. Edgar (2011) as having had an early affair with J. Edgar Hoover. Books on Hoover also report that she was his great love, something she never confirmed or denied."
Back to Inland Empire: Cute, how the black and the asian woman talk about the bus ride, while Nikki/Sue dies between them. And what does it mean, that this movie is absolutely exactly 3:00:00 hours long (including credits)? Well, only a few of the several things I would've to check closer for understanding this movie better.
Don't know yet, if I want to understand this movie better or rather stay a stupid potato. Leastwise a happy stupid potato. And perhaps it's impossible to understand Lynch? Perhaps you can only feel him?
Lynch plays with our conscience in his surreal way. And Lynch plays with our subconscious. After watched this movie, remembered why I don't like Lynch, though he's a great film-maker: After watching his films I feel exhausted and troubled. Not so much fear, more a troubling inner silence, devastated.
Lynch's movies remind me to Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Totally different style but evoking similar feelings: Humans and the world are bad. Lynch in his surreal way and Fassbinder in his radical realism let appear suicide a good alternative to escape these hurtful truths. Ok, Lynch granted us a kind of happy end...kind of.
With Laura Dern have another problem. She's like the sphinx without a secret. Ok, she's a good actress as Lynch is an ingenious film-maker. She was well chosen for her role as Nikki Grace/Susan Blue. And her eyes look often greenish (yah, green again)...though her eyes are blue. For what reasons ever, after a while she gets on my nerves.
Julia Ormond I always liked and she impressed me here again. Well, Julia Ormond had a minor part and this scene with the also creepy policeman and nearly the whole time close-ups was probably easier to play than confused Nikki/Susan.
However, needed a way back to Earth, back to reality and my belief in good people. Cause I know good people do exist. Good songs are always helpful. Won't listen to "Loco-Motion" for a longer time.
Maybe it's a message from David to David to get on with some painting --XON the right axons.

There's an album by Brian Eno called Another Green World. Late in the movie when our heroine travels through the green labyrinth, I always think of that title.

... and after sleep and some other stuff ...
There's an album by Brian Eno called Another Green World. Late in the movie when our heroine travels through the green labyrinth, I always think of that title.
About the green 🌱 still didn't make up my mind. I like your idea that "it's a message from David to David to get on with some painting --XON the right axons." To be continued...
Maybe it's a message from David to David to get on with some painting --XON the right axons.
The problem with this idea is how in an interview when he's asked if AXXON N was a reference to the AXONS in the brain he said NO.
And the FIRST THING we hear in IE is THE NARRATOR on the AXXON N RECORD telling us it's a story taking place in the BALTIC REGION on a COLD WINTER DAY at the OLD HOTEL,
and about how
AXXON N
is the NAME of the PLAY,
which is also the LONGEST RUNNING PLAY in RADIO HISTORY.
So apparently AXXON N is also the NAME of the PLAY and isn't a reference to the part of the brain where connections are made???

Ok...every now and then have the impression to hear Lynch's laughter. About how we see things he never meant, and things he meant we don't see.
Like the funny guy who wrote "Wer Axxon wirklich war" (Who Axxon really was). The author Thomas Mielke said in an interview:
Da schrieb der Lektor in seiner Beurteilung: Ein toller Roman, spannend bis zur letzten Zeile. Nur ein einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: Man hätte zum Schluss doch ganz gern gewusst, wer denn nun Axxon wirklich war (Anmerkung: Ich weiß es auch nicht, aber der Roman erschien bei Zauberkreis). http://deutsche-science-fiction.de/?p=3100
The editor wrote in his assessment: A great novel, thrilling to the last line. Only one minor complaint : One would like to know at the end, who Axxon really was (Note: I do not know either, but the novel was published in the Magic Circle).
That's a fine name for a publisher! Alas, it doesn't exist anymore: (sorry, no english Wiki entry)
Zauberkreis Verlag - Magic Circle Publisher
Der Zauberkreis Verlag mit Sitz in Rastatt wurde 1946 gegründet. Er veröffentlichte seit Beginn der 1950er Jahre Heftromane und später auch Taschenbücher und Comics. 1985 wurde der Zauberkreis Verlag an den Erich Pabel Verlag verkauft. Die damals noch laufenden Serien wurden jedoch eingestellt, als der Chefredakteur des Pabel-Zauberkreis-Verlags (Müller-Reymann) im Mai 1986 mit dem Auto tödlich verunglückte. Der Verlag, der seit 1985 nur noch eine Sparte des Pabel-Verlags war, existiert seit 1987 nicht mehr. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zauberkreis_Verlag
The Magic Circle Publisher with offices in Rastatt was established in 1946. Since the early 1950s it published dime novels and later paperbacks and comics. In 1985 Magic Circle was sold to Erich Pabel Publisher. The then current series have been abandoned, when the editor of Pabel - Magic Circle (Müller-Reymann) was killed in May 1986 by a car accident. The publishing house, which was only a division of Pabel publishing house since 1985, no longer exists since 1987.
Why do I feel often so creepy, reading about and around Lynch?
Thanks for posting in both languages. Keep reading the GERMAN before the ENGLISH translation in hopes of being able to figure out some of what's been said, but don't have much luck.... yet.
And if you think what you've found is CREEPY, just finished reading parts of CAMUS THE MYTH of SISYPHUS, and found lots of other stuff that will creep you out, because it's also as if LYNCH had channeled CAMUS when he made IE.
First of all NOTE the way the name of the COMPANY on the IE DVD is called: ABSURDIA (with one of the letters facing backwards).
And Camus also deals with living an ABSURD life in his work. And he also talks about the idea of how
ACTIONS have CONSEQUENCES
which is also the same thing that THE NEW NEIGHBOR tells DERN, and the same thing that LUCAS tells her CO STAR (THE BIG BAD WOLF character in the film).
All systems of morality are based on the idea that an action has consequences that legitimize or cancel it
( So this is also the SAME WARNING that the LITTLE GIRL and BOY are given when they go out to PLAY their ROLES)
A mind imbued with the absurd merely judges that those consequences must be considered calmly.
It is ready to pay up.
(And the NEW NEIGHBOR also mentions an UNPAID DEBT )???
In other words, there may be responsible persons, but there are no guilty ones,
The absurd mind cannot so much expect ethical rules at the end of its reasoning as, rather, illustrations and the breath of human lives. A subclerk in the post office is the equal of a conqueror if consciousness is common to them In the absurd world the value of a notion or of a life is measured by its sterility.
Don Juanism
If it were sufficient to love, things would be too easy. The more one loves, the stronger the absurd grows.
by Don Juan’s speeches and by that same remark that he uses on all women. Don Juan can be properly understood only by constant reference to what he commonly symbolizes:
the ordinary seducer and the sexual athlete
Seducing is his condition in life
Loving and possessing, conquering and consuming—that is his way of knowing.
(There is significance in that favorite Scriptural word that calls the carnal act “knowing
(A REFERENCE to the BIG BAD WOLF character in this TALE ...
who also uses the SAME PICK UP line on all the women he seduces ...
when he tells them he's NEVER KNOWN anyone like them before ...
and theN the women who've been SEDUCED by him imitate what he's said to them when they say:
LOOK at me and tell me if you've ever KNOWN me before.
ghosts of past loves,
(LYNCH also has GHOSTS of LOVE in IE and sings about how STRANGE LOVE IS)
AND then begins the chapter on DRAMA:
Drama
“The play’s the thing,” says Hamlet, “wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.”
In those three hours he travels the whole course of the dead-end path that the man in the audience takes a lifetime to cover.
PAGE 52 of 129
the actor creates his characters for display. He outlines or sculptures them and slips into their imaginary form, transfusing his blood into their phantoms
(And we also have THE PHANTOM character in IE that has his FACE turn into the FACE of Dern after she SHOOTS him)
physical passions lead the dance. They explain everything.
(DO the LOCOMOTION ... YOU GOTTA SWING your HIPS now)
Souls are given over to the demons
the actor contradicts himself:
the same and yet so various,
so many souls summed up in a single body
And there's also this:
he identifies himself with those irreplaceable lives. It often happens that he carries them with him, that they somewhat overflow the time and place in which they were born. They accompany the actor, who cannot very readily separate himself
They accompany the actor, who cannot very readily separate himself from what he has been. Occasionally when reaching for his glass he resumes Hamlet’s gesture of raising his cup. No, the distance separating him from the creatures into whom he infuses life is not so great
In other words,
they become STUCK in CHARACTER,
like NIKI does when she plays the part of SUE BLUE,
to the point where they really think they are the CHARACTER that they portray.
And we also see this happening after the END of DERN'S DEATH SCENE where her DIRECTOR calls her NIKI 3 TIMES, but she fails to recognize or ANSWER him and takes the BLUE ROBE instead of the WHITE ROBE.
But after she ENTERS the OTHER ROOM (THE PROJECTION ROOM), where she watches herself ON SCREEN, until she GETS BACK in SYNC AGAIN, and the SCREEN MONITORS precisely what she's doing, then she also LEAVES the BLUE ROBE of SUE BLUE behind her sitting on the CHAIR and she follows MR. K up the STAIR CASE.
THUS she's probably also BACK OUT of character again???
And no longer lifts up the cup the way HAMLET DOES (so to speak)???
And then she also SHOOTS and KILLS THE PHANTOM CHARACTER that she's TRANSFUSED her BLOOD into???
SPOOKY isn't it how much CAMUS and LYNCH seem to have in common here???
Even found passages that pertain to the name of someone like ROLLO which:
in ten thousand years will be dust and his name forgotten
Will definitely also need to quote this passage the next time MOR goes on her tirade about how he's responsible for the birth of all of these other ROYALS.
She seems to think ROLLO has also TRANSFUSED his BLOOD into them, but there's just too little of it left in their veins now for them to have any kind of a significant genetic connection to him.
Conquest
nothing of the conqueror lasts, not even his doctrines
.
And neither will his name last either.
Because it will be DUST and forgotten within the 10,000 year TIME FRAME
(a TIME FRAME that we still also don't have whenever we try to trace back our own history to it's origins).
In an interview LYNCH said DERN had played 4 different characters in this film.
And when she's suppose to be playing the part of SUE BLUE, she mostly wears the GREEN TOP.
But there's also the DERN in BLUE
(probably the one who KILLS KIDDO ... her sister's BOY TOY ... who FREE LOADS off of her sister ...
(the way ROLLO is doing the FRANK KING in VIKINGS).
Anyhow, the KIDDO STORY is my favorite story that she tells to MR. K (the man who wears the EYE GLASSES and tells her HE LIKES PANCAKES after she tells him the other story about how the hand of her mother was RIPPED OFF by the MACHINE that makes the little CORN COB holders which also SMASHED IT FLATTER than a PANCAKE).
Here's the KIDDO STORY for you:
My sister has a shelf in her refrigerator with my name taped to it. The shelf where I keep my food. I got milk. And cheese and I got some miracle whip. Over on the counter is where I keep my bread. I sleep in the back room. In summer it’s a screened-in porch. They got walls that you use by turning these clips. I stacked the walls in the garage. One time I turned part of 'em clips to take out part of a wall. I've seen about a million black widows. Crawling fast and laying their eggs.
I got a lamp. Keep it by my bed. My sister's bed. The lamp is mine. That same damn lamp that's always been with me. It’s my sister’s bed, but my lamp. I don’t go anywhere without that lamp. It was a lamp from my family. On my momma’s side. She was the one that changed it to the red shade it’s got now. There was a floral pattern one before. I've seen a picture of it when it had the floral pattern shade. Picture was black and white, so I couldn’t see the actual color of it.
The picture was really weird. It had a man’s hairy arm, on the edge of the picture, sort of coming in from the side. I asked my momma if that was my daddy’s arm in the picture. She said "No dear, that ain’t your daddy there". I said "Who is it then?" She said "It’s none of your business". Why wouldn't she just tell me it wasn't my daddy. I would have forgotten all about it. This way I keep wondering who the *beep* was hanging around our house. It could have been anybody. Sort of makes you wonder, ain’t it?
My mother, she’s another one. She couldn’t sleep at night. She’d be up drinking and reading magazines, sometimes all night. She’d have to work the next day. She got real *beep* up taking pills, so she wouldn’t fall asleep at work. One time she was working her machine. They made those little things that you jam into each end of an ear of corn, corn cob holders. You know, they were made so you wouldn’t burn your hands on corn on the cob.
So, they got these machines that squirt out this plastic and then the top comes down with a hell of a pounding *beep* force. You gotta get these nails in first and get your hand away. 'Cause that top comes down like a *beep* pile driver. She was half asleep on the job. Forgot to pull her hand away quick enough. The machine snipped it right off, her whole *beep* hand. There weren’t a lot of blood at first, 'cause it sealed the stump like it was glued. Then all of sudden it burst open, blood shooting halfway across the room. Women were screaming and running.
My momma almost died that day. They forgot to call first, the ambulance. Women were busy running around screaming and my momma was laying in a pool of her own blood, hand caught in a corn cob mold, flatter than a pancake.
MR. K says:[I like pancakes]
( as we see DERN looking at MR. K as if he's crazy ... and we also see her GRIP the SCREW DRIVER in her hand even tighter ... as if she's about to STAB him with it for saying this). But as fast as the ATTACK LOOK on her face appears, it also QUICKLY disappears again, and she goes back to telling her stories again ...
Latest I’ve been thinking about that shelf in my sister’s refrigerator that she’s got my name on... Tagged. See, it’s at the bottom of the *beep* refrigerator. There’s this moist mold down there and it’s a small shelf. My sister and her husband, that’s kiddo, that’s what she calls him. He’s husband number three. He don't do *beep* He sits around reading his newspaper in the morning, eating lunch around two o’clock every afternoon, and watching TV to the wee hours. He starts drinking.
When she gets home, she’s the one that works. She’s a waitress at a diner. She’s been working there for years, serving breakfast and lunch. She’s got to be there until four when the dinner crew comes on. She rides a bus. She shops at the grocery usually and then walks home. She’s the one that holds that place together. She’s been drinking more and more at night as years goes on. She’ll tap a fifth of roses and they’ll drain that puppy before the seven o’clock news. Mix it with water. They both do. I guess it’s nice they like drinking together. Draws them closer, you know. She strips down to a robe and slippers and sits down next to kiddo on the couch.
I got to fix my own food. She’ll do for kiddo, but not for no one else. I guess when her day of waitressing is done, she doesn’t want to do nothing for no one. That *beep* kiddo don’t lift a finger, not even a little puffy pinky. He just sits and grows closer to the vegetable kingdom. I hear him laugh at the dumbest *beep* I ever heard watching that *beep* night after night. It was *beep* face kiddo’s idea that I have my own shelf so not to confuse their stuff with my stuff. Only thing I confuse is kiddo and a pile of *beep* Both seem about the same to me. My sister wouldn’t give a *beep* if I ate a cracker of hers. Kiddo’s got a hard on though about not running out of all of his favorite stuff. The *beep* wants his stuff. He’s always checking their shelves and my little *beep* shelf, making sure all of his favorite stuff is still there.
I like ice cream along ten thirty, eleven o’clock. It’s good enough to share. They’re so far in the bag they can’t say ice cream let alone need it. The thing is, eat it or not, the ice cream lasts one night, because that little area, my shelf, makes it runny after about six hours. I have to get my ice cream as late in the day as possible.
Kiddo came in my room one morning, trying to crawl into bed with me, but he made sure first that he had bunch of breakfast first. He comes in all smiley and sits on the end of my *beep* bed. Starts rubbing my foot. Says "I bet you're all soft and warm down there in that little bed. Maybe a little lonely, though. Want some company in that little bed of yours?" I say "Kiddo, I say this once and once is all I’ll say it. If you ever think about what you’re thinking about, ever again even think it, I’ll cut your cock off and before I leave, I’ll set it on my little *beep* shelf in the refrigerator with a tell all note to my sister. Coz you’ll be dead by then. I’ll cut off your cock and your sick *beep* head right at the stringy neck".
You gotta understand... I was 41 years old in 1960. I’m freaked out about it 'cause I lost a bunch of years. I figure I might be older, but that is as near as I can figure. Some say I’m too tall.
So because of the way he TORMENTS her, one is also HAPPY to hear about how his HEAD and his other body part ends up sitting on that SHELF in the FRIDGE along with the NOTE for her sister.
And that may also mean that's NOT DORIS who STABS her in the GUT with the SCREW DRIVER, but the SISTER who finds the NOTE on the SHELF in the FRIDGE???
Whatever the case may be, we also see the other DERN in BLUE sitting in the RAIN who may also be the one who KILLS KIDDO.
So we've got the GREEN DERN (who plays the part of SUE BLUE) ...
and we've got the RED DERN (who says DAMN that sounds like DIALOGUE from our SCRIPT while shooting a scene for the film) ...
and we've got the DERN in MAROON who gets STABBED in the GUT by the actress who plays the part of BILLY'S WIFE (who may also be her SISTER who's married to KIDDO)???
There's also another scene in POLAND where we see the 2 GIRLS (LANI and LORI) looking into the CAMERA and asking:
WHO IS SHE???
And the WOMAN in WHITE also has her back to us and it looks like it might be BILLY'S WIFE DORIS (who is also married to LUCAS and tells him she can't have kids and will never let him have her).
Then we also see KAROLINA (the LOST GIRL) climb some stairs with a SCREW DRIVER in her hand, and we hear a SCREAM, and later we also see the DEAD BODY of what looks like BILLY'S wife DORIS.
But we also see her speaking to a DETECTIVE and telling him she's going to kill someone with a SCREW DRIVER, before she pulls up her shirt and shows him the SCREW DRIVER that she has sticking out of her GUT.
But there's also NO BLOOD like we see when DERN gets stabbed.
So perhaps that's also a MOVIE PROP and what we have is a confused ACTRESS who's come under the CURSE of the FILM???
You may also not be aware of how THE 3 HOURS also has an additional 90 more min of film which is called:
MORE THINGS THAN HAPPENED.
But you can also only get that additional 90 min on the REGION ONE DVD which is sold in the US.
Anyhow, there's also another really good scene where KAROLINA buys a WATCH from THE PHANTOM who also has 9 other watches pinned to the inside of his COAT.
So it also looks like he KILLS LUCAS for his watch after he's asked what time it is and he tells someone it's 9:45.
And you also see a PAINTING of a NAKED PREGNANT GIRL standing on A ROCK ...
who reaches up to an ANGEL ... as the CLAW of a DEVIL reaches up to GRAB her already CLAWED FOOT. 14 MIN CLIP HERE:
So one also gets the impression that this PHANTOM might be SATAN HIMSELF???
Because SATAN also STEALS TIME away from EVE (her IMMORTALITY when he talks her into EATING from that FORBIDDEN TREE) which also seems to be represented by his SELLING this girl the WATCH???
Also NOTE the way that you see an OLD WOMAN after he grabs hold of her hand.
So one also gets the impression that some kind of GARDEN of EDEN stuff is going on here???
Because the PRICE that EVE PAYS for wanting to be LIKE GOD (the creator who makes other beings in his own image), is the cost of her life, when she also has the ability to CREATE other BEINGS in her image after EATING from the TREE of KNOWLEDGE???
And EATING from the TREE is also what enables her to PRODUCE other beings (like the RABBITS do who also produce other creatures in their own image).
I kind of like the theory that David Lynch threw that comment at the producers, and since they didn't know how else to categorize the film, they went with that line.
