THE BRITISH THREAD II

You have an odd sense of humour DP. Eraserhead is miles funnier than that. Light year miles.

You have an odd sense of humour DP.

Pain me though it might, I have to side with Spendy on this one. My knickers remained dry.

And I'm puzzled.
Did Sesame Street put on the spoof?
Did Messrs Peschi and de Niro collaborate with a spoof?
Or, as seems more likely, were the voices just being mimicked?
Or was the soundtrack already existing, and sombody made the dolls perform to suit?
Does any of this matter?
Am I too stupid?

Transforming Lives: The David Lynch Foundation provides funds for in-school "Quiet Time" programs utilizing the stress-reducing Transcendental Meditation technique. In the past year, the Foundation has provided millions of dollars for thousands of students, teachers, and parents to learn to meditate. The Foundation also provides funds for independent research institutions to assess the effects of the program on creativity, intelligence, brain functioning, academic performance, ADHD and other learning disorders, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.

Lynch has twice won France's César Award for Best Foreign Film and served as President of the jury at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, where he had previously won the Palme d'Or in 1990. He was also honored by the French government with the Legion of Honor (Chevalier in 2002 then Officier in 2007). On September 6. 2006 Lynch received a Golden Lion award for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival. He also premiered his latest work, INLAND EMPIRE, at the festival.[11]

To date he has received four Academy Award nominations: Best Director for The Elephant Man (1980), Blue Velvet (1986) and Mulholland Drive (2001), as well as Best Adapted Screenplay for The Elephant Man (1980).

France awarded Lynch the Legion of Honor, that country's top civilian honor.

Oh dear.

I doubt very much that the Sesame Street producers are behind this.
I also doubt if DeNiro and Pesci were informed / involved / collaberated with.
The voices are real (it's dialogue from a scene in the movie Casino) the footage of Bert and Ernie has been cut to match the dialogue.
Yes it matters!
No you're not too stupid, just a little.

Oh well, I thought it was hilarious (LOVE DeNiro and Pesci and Bert and Ernie and gangster films, so this clip was made for me.)

I watched it to the end this time, and you're right, the SS footage was cut to suit the soundtrack, very skilfully.
Mildly amusing. Slightly damp.
These actors do shout and swear a lot, don't they?
I don't know Joe Peschi's work well, but I liked him in "My Cousin Vinny"

It was cliche strings with eff words inserted at attention grabbing intervals.

As Macs brilliant precis shows Eraserhead is screaming ab-dabs laughing tackle. Like Twin Peaks. Monastic recruitment.

The key to the action is obviously Henry impregnating Mary which takes place before the movie starts and presumably is symbolised by the signal box operative shifting the points.

I think the film is more or less banned as it is supposed to disturb people with an underdeveloped sense of humour and a lack of appreciation of poetic licence.
