I hate it when Jason's right about a movie

First, he willfully avoided "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," a film with which I proceeded to torture my parents on their last visit here. (see plot summary here, if you dare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedwig_and_the_Angry_Inch ) Yes, Dad, I know that between this and the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" incident a few years ago, I now owe you big time, and cracks about your propensity toward bush-trimming and window-washing aren't helping things any. Have I mentioned recently how awesome my dad is? Dude, like SOOO awesome. Carves things, fixes things ... and, he does windows!

Homosexuality, trans-gender issues, unsuccessful sex change operations performed in Eastern Block countries ... Hedwig had it all, only not in a good way. "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" it was not. Oh, did I mention the hard-rockin' soundtrack that was the only highlight of the movie? If you don't listen to the lyrics, it was actually pretty good.

Now Jason dodged the "Mulholland Drive" bullet, missing out on a David Lynch film so twisted, even the experts' review/plot synopsis I just downloaded starts off basically as "What the fuck was that???" It makes "Memento" look like a walk in the park ... at least by the end of that movie, you know what the rest of it was about. With "Mulholland Drive," it starts off where you think you know what's going on, but by the end you have no clue. Strange creatures who frighten people with bad eyebrows to death in fast-food parking lots? Check. Mysterious cowboy dude who appears mystically to deliver sage pronouncements? Check. Hot girl-on-girl action? Check. Odd people doing odd things in surreal environments? Yup. More hot girl-on-girl action? Yawn.

If you haven't watched it, don't. And if you did, and still don't know what the hell happened, here's a pretty concise synopsis of it. It's seven pages long.

Someone make a note of the following pronouncement:
I, GRETCHEN WOODS, SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO NEVER WATCH ANOTHER DAVID LYNCH MOVIE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF "DUNE," WHICH IS PRETTY GOOD IF YOU'VE ALREADY READ THE BOOK (MAINLY BECAUSE KYLE AND STING ARE HOT).
