Most overrated film ever?
It's kind of like the salad fingers of the pre-internet era. A curiosity

I literally do not undeerstand the hype of this movie. I even liked the Cloony version of Solaris, but Gravity bored me to tears.

Mediocre in cinema.
Trash on everything else.

It might be overrated, but it's probably for the best.
Lynch is one of the few directors that gets to contradict hollywood ideology and still get recognized.

awe-inspiring how such a "who the fuck cares, seriously" story could actually get made into a movie and get people to act like they just saw a work of art. i felt like i was going to die of natural causes.
while gravity was a good filter, this seemed like the ultimate "pretend to like it for reasons" movie. just why??

Because of the cast, I would imagine. Bale, Renner, Cooper, and that hag J Law are all pleb magnets

I honestly like it, I liked it right away. And I saw it.. 2006? 2007? It was always a cult, but it hadn't been hyped to me at that point, or memed to death. Because I didn't go to the midnight movies, back then.
You can read much of the weird shit as humor, a stilted kind anyway, that I happen to like. When Henry goes in his gf's house and there's all the suckling dogs and awkward pauses, the whole point is to make this already-nervous guy as uncomfortable as possible, in a heavy-handed/over the top/'artistic' way. This same stilted-ness is everywhere else in Lynch's stuff. Sometimes it's jarring to the point of being annoying, but often it serves a purpose, or gives you an excuse to just look at whatever dingy apartment we're in, depending on the movie.
Part of why I liked it is that it is comparable to Edward Gorey stories I read as a kid. Black-and-white weirdness, seems vaguely 'old' and un-American, but when you pay attention, it's America all over.
Oddly, on the disc Lynch actually does sit and talk about the movie and production, which is out of character for him, but of course this is a pretty important 'baby' for him, so you do want to say some things about it, I guess. He told one story about how he was connected with this 'advanced-student-film' project, that was looking to support young directors. In Lynch's telling, one big important studio bigshot said, "this is NOT the kind of movie that we make here at the advanced-student-bla-bla-bla", and the guy who liked Lynch just shot right back "...This is EXACTLY the kind of movie we make here, at the advanced-student-bla-bla."
