Has anyone seen David Lynch's Inland Empire yet?

It's on DVD this week...

...And oh yeah, it's approximately 3 hours long, give or take.



Aug 16th EDIT:
I got this on DVD rental; ain't got around to watching it yet...

Okay, I watched this tonight....

Whoa, my brain is freakin' fried after watching that...

If you thought Mulholland Drive had a lot goin' on w/ making you try and figure out what the story's about, then Inland's even more complex in trying to decipher its actual plot. Basically, this movie expands on many of the the themes found in Mulholland -- and takes it to another hour in length!

Though, many similar things are happening in Inland Empire that happened in Mulholland -- we have an aspiring actress here who gets into some sort of trouble and must figure out what the hell is really going on.

Did I like the Inland? Yes.
But, I don't think I liked/loved it as much as I did Mulholland.

I knew instantly, after watching Mulholland, it was something amazing to watch, engaging me into the movie from start to finish -- even though some of its plot elements were baffling me after seeing it. I can't say the same for Inland, as there were some moments I was just not with the movie -- even though there were many moments, where I was w/ Inland.
