Into dreamland we go...
Photo: MGM Home Video I just don't think I am much of a Lynchian. David Lynch is obviously working on a level unlike 99.9999% of the directors out there and there appears to be only a couple of ways of looking at a Lynch film. You can absorb Lynch to the point you become immersed in the world(s) he creates in his films. You can search for meaning and you can spend a long time doing so. You can also watch 15 minutes of a Lynch film and give up on it before you even get into the darkness he sets out to create. In 2001 I watched Mulholland Drive and I enjoyed dissecting that at the time, but for the life of me I can't remember any of the conclusions I came to. I tried watching Lost Highway and failed, after all my only interest in the

Meat Loaf is focusing his sights on his Hollywood career - because he considers himself an actor first, musician second.
The Bat Out of Hell rocker - real name Marvin Lee Aday - has enjoyed huge success as a singer, but at 60, he wants to be remembered more for his skills on screen than anything else.
When asked whether he's more of a musician or an actor, he tells Britain's Esquire magazine, "I'm an actor. I've done 43 films and I've got offers for a couple more on the table.
"I don't always choose them for the size of the role - there is an old actor saying and it is that there are never small roles, only small actors.
And Meat Loaf - who has starred in movies including Fight Club and The Pick of Destiny - singles out his best-ever performance as that in the lesser known 2001 drama Focus, alongside William H. Macy and Laura Dern.
He adds, "Forget making records, or selling records. That's it, right there, the best thing I've ever done - (Focus), a little film that we shot in Toronto (Canada) and no one knows about it."

Laura Dern, the actress who plays Dr. Ellie Sattler in the Jurassic Park franchise, recently talked with TV Guide Magazine about the fourth dino-entry that has been hitting some development plot holes since last summer. "It isn't just speculation. It's a while away, but my understanding is it's happening and my character is very involved. I know Steven Spielberg is looking forward to getting it together over the next year."" The last draft of the screenplay was scrapped after the internet buzz was cynical of the plot, which features dinosaurs rocking army gear and weapons. Sam Neill will not be returning at this point.
