It was just a desperate cry for meaning in an otherwise plotless idea. With Inland Empire, he unintentionally admitted that he was full of shit. And you know what, he still claimed there was some logic behind it. If you look hard enough at the stars, you'll see contellations. But there's really nothing between the stars. I watch Lynch for brilliant isolated scenes and sensory complexity, not a "good story".

repressed demons, regret, hatred, fantasies, jealousy, those are meaningless ideas? you can have as many isolated scenes as you want, but if the story sucks than fuck it. lynch always has a good story to back up his work, with the exception of inland empire.
