I agree with pretty much everything jackhammer is said.

For me, David Lynch ranges from breathtakingly genius to average...ok I'll throw bad in there as well just because I really don't like Dune. Still, most of his work is at least worth one viewing. I think the key to his films in knowing the perfect balance of what should be taken "as is" versus knowing what you should be reading further into. At the very least, I think most people can respect how he doesn't compromise. I think about that whenever I watch Blue Velvet. For when it was released, I'm amazed some of those scenes were able to stay in the film. Even in Twin Peaks there is material that even by today's standards could be seen as pretty graphic.
