Inland Empire - a film by David Lynch

[joethelion]

ok...

So this film is FINALLY coming to where I currently live, Iowa City (it's probably being played here b/c of the whole David Lynch / Maharishi connection) [edit] -> I might've mispelled that last name, but if you didn't know that whole trascendental meditation 'deal' is pretty big here in Iowa City, and there's a center here for it and like a "University" for it in a small town not too far away from here (or at least I think it's not too far... I forget what town it's actually in)

BUT it's only being showed a measly seven times! Like, once a day for week, and I've got midterms until Thursday (and Thursday is the last showing date)

So - if you were in my perdicament -> would you:
(a) "waste" time by not studying and seeing this 3hr movie
(b) see the movie on Thursday night, after your last midterm... and therefore not be able to go out and 'celebrate' being done with these god-awful midterms
(c) wait for the movie to come out on dvd

It's also hard for me to figure out what to do, b/c my friends who are big on David Lynch won't be able to come up to see the film with me... so I'd have to take this ...well, fake - hipster chick (like she only thinks something is cool after Pitchfork tells her it is) if I went to see the movie at all in the theater

...I'm assuming this will be released on dvd soon anyways, right?

it's up to david lynch on how soon it gets a DVD release.

if you are a david lynch fan, i'd suggest taking a study break some night and going to see it in a theater. At least that way you're forced to sit there through the whole thing

joethelion, the correct answer is 'b' and then going out afterwards and celebrating being done with god awful mid-terms. Do coffee and hit it up with some Amaretto.

joe, go with B.

There are always other times to go out on a post-final/mid-term bender and you can always meet up later post film and play catch up drinking shots or straight bourbon or vodka to reach your friend's level of intoxication.

I say this only out of personal experience as I've opted out of the post final party many times to see films.
