No I didn't see an actual elephant man that was born in 1980. I saw the David Lynch movie. And I have to say, dear lord what a powerful movie. I've seen a lot of so-called deep and powerful movies, but this one probably takes the cake. Either this or Ikiru. Any of you guys seen it? And to think I almost watched Dont Mess With the Zohan instead..

yeah It's not exactly an easy watch. It's not surprizing that many people haven't seen it.

Wow, I thought it was made earlier than that. I have seen this and I thought it was a good film, very powerful and moving and very well made.

yeah David Lynch isn't for everyone. And the elepahnt man doesn't have as much crazy stuff as lynch usually likes. And btw, charlie has a beard... so WELCOME to the League of AVatar Beardsmen! A proud bastion sporting such great members as ME, YOU and PIANIST!

Yeah, even though I found mullholland dr a more exiting movie to watch. I can't say I fully grasped it. So I guess The Elephant Man is a movie that's easier to understand and appriciate, at least for me.

I think he tries to hard to be weird and dark, plus the dedicated Lynch fans who discuss his films for hours on end irritate me. I kinda liked Blue Velvet, Twin peaks, and Dune though.

I hated Dune... I don;t think it is that he tries too hard I just think that is what is natural to him. If you have ever seen his early short films or his actual artwork you can see that his head is a very strange place. I ignore the fact that they are weird and rather try to pick out thongs thematically that have relevance to me as a person, as well as watching an exciting visual spectacle.
