The David Lynch hate in this thread is beyond ignorant, especially to anyone who claims to love films as an art form. Calling it random attempts at artsy crap is such a biased and misinformed view on his work. Do some research on surrealism and maybe get an understanding of film language and how he plays with the rules of it.
The same people who dislike Lynch on this site seem to also not grasp the humor style in the Plinkett reviews. Some call it dark edgy humor, but its not really that at all. Its ironic surrealist comedy. RedLetterMedia, specifically Jay are influenced by David Lynch as well as the comedic style of Tim Heidecker who made a guest appearance on one of their episodes of Half in The Bag. Heidecker is also hugely influenced by David Lynch. It all comes full circle now. Some people just have a fundamental misunderstanding of the context of what any of them are doing.
I hate the prequels but at least a lot of its defenders are educated enough on the subjects they discuss.
