Re: "It Was Red"

perhaps the first thing that "was red" was the red light bulb in Majchrzak's mouth "” because that was chosen without David Lynch's direct decision. But you're still missing the salient point: Lynch offerned the red bulb to Majchrzak. This suggests to me that he had developed the red...

Wikipedia is hardly a trustworthy source.

Re: Silencio

I'm surprised that applesoranges and MichaelPW state that Camilla has been to Club Silencio, when clearly this is not the case. Rita has been to Club Silencio, and Rita is most certainly not Camilla.

Re: L.B.

Good point, jina. I'm totally open to the idea that the L.B. hand-stamp Susan recieved at the club is meaningful, but I just haven't yet figured out the meaning. I don't think anyone has...

Re: "It Was Red"

I assume that the connections you're making to Rooster are just a joke? The red seems most closely connected to the recurring red bulbs and lamps that we see throughout the film. Sue (or whoever she is) partially explains the back history and personal significance of the red lamp during an extended ...

Re: L.B.

It does not look like a stamp to me. It looks drawn on there, maybe with make up pencils. It's funny you'd say that because looking at that picture absolutely confirms that the letters are a stamp to me. The L.B. is much too perfectly rendered to be hand-written. Notice that what appear to be imper...

Re: L.B.

it seems more to show when and where something is rather than something about the objects. E.g. the piano ashtray in Mulholland Dr. I think the LB is like that. I basically agree, although I find the L.B. mystery more alluring somehow...I just can't let it go! Those two initials had to mean somethi...

"It Was Red"

What was red, in your opinion?

Bear in mind that at least three different characters utter this statement: Suzie Rabbit, Mr. K, and one of the Polish men at the seance. For those who haven't heard about this, the latter two say it in Polish ("Czervony, tak").

Re: L.B.

The "L.B." question appears to be one of IE's insoluble mysteries.

Absolutely no one seems to have a convincing theory. Lots of creative ones, but nothing of substance.

Re: Scene 35

OK, whatever it is. I just called it a brain as a guess. Yeah, this is another one of IE's ongoing little mysteries. I don't agree with that at all. Too many things suggest that this woman has been hypnotized and made to believe that she is a prostitute. I am also open to the possibility that the w...

Re: Scene 35

I hope you don't mind my getting a little bit critical here. I like the idea of this theory, so I'm going to put it under a magnifying glass. Let's work out the kinks. 2. record player/ brain Although I understand what you mean, I don't believe that the image we're looking at is really meant to be a...

Re: Scene 35

Amazing post! (referring to the OP)

Btw, have you broken down the entire film by scenes? And if so, how many scenes are there?

L.B.

The letters " L.B. " are either written, tattooed, or stamped onto the back of Laura Dern's character's right hand. What on Earth do you think these two letters mean? I've bounced around various message boards over the past few months and there does not appear to be a single satisfying ans...
