I just started watching it last night. I think I understand the first part that he is severely mentally ill. The tapes were placed by him hoping his girl would understand what he's dealing with. I'm a little lost after that.

I love this movie.
But don’t try to run a straight line of logic through it
Dream-logic prevails. It’s all about atmosphere, murky psychology, and textures of the id

My favorite Lynch movie.

I watched Blue Velvet and Eraserhead for the first time this year and I think I’m just not a David Lynch guy. Mulholland Dr is great but everything else I’ve seen is just overly weird and uncomfortable.

David Lynch is awesome. I saw Elephant Man in the theater and then Blue Velvet as soon as it came out on video. Loved that he was doing something unique and different from the standard 80s fair. And then Twin Peaks changed television forever. I also liked his Dune and I'm still mad we didn't get a good depiction of the navigators from Dennis. David's version was cool:

Finish the movie…then….
Watch it again with the idea that Bill Pullman is in a state of psychogenic fugue after murdering his wife (Lynch talked about being influenced by the OJ Simpson murder case when developing this movie.) How it was possible for someone to disassociate from an act of violence.
Balthazar Getty represents everything he wishes he was in a dream state …younger, sexually capable, etc. Eventually the fantasy crumbles and reality creeps back in. Can’t escape your guilt.
Favorite story of this film is the backstory of how Robert Loggia got the role of Mr. Eddie. Apparently he read for the role of Frank Booth in Blue Velvet. Lynch was late after being stuck in rush hour traffic. Loggia was a complete dick to David Lynch and the production team once Lynch arrived. Lynch remembered his tantrum and said you would be perfect for another role for me in the future.

it's about paranoia and the disaster of marrying an abject whore. The constant feeling of inadequacy as a lover. Why do you think he plays the sax? Why do you think they chose the name Dick Larant? Also, that scene at the house party with the phone is legendary.

I saw Blue Velvet as a young, impressionable 14-15 year old. Scarred me for life.

The soundtrack played through actually helps interpret what the movie is about.

The house party and concomitant night drive w Frank Booth and cohorts
Is single-handedly the most funny/terrifying sequence in American cinema
Over the past 50 years.

Agreed. Could never look at Dean Stockwell or Dennis Hopper the same again.

Great soundtrack is about all I remember from that movie.

Speaking of the soundtrack…Smashing Pumpkins’ “Eye” has an interesting backstory as well. Apparently the beat was written by Billy Corgan for a collaborative project with Shaquille O’Neal. The project fell through. David Lynch rejected Corgan’s first song submittal for the movie. Corgan quickly pivoted and wrote lyrics over the unused beat. Submitted it to Lynch and we got…
