Escape from Reality
Last night I watched Eraserhead, directed by David Lynch.
This film easily surpasses his others as the weirdest movie I’ve ever
seen. I like his films because they are so surreal and they
really make you think… especially thoughts like “what the hell is
going on?” However, Eraserhead manages to take this to an extreme
beyond even my eccentric tastes. If you’re curious about watching
one of Lynch’s films, I’d suggest Lost Highway or Mulholland Dr. But don’t say I didn’t warn you!

I was going to suggest John Waters, also a subversive film director/professor, but if you think Lynch is extreme, you’ll be catching flies with Waters. Pink Flamingos has to rate as the most disgusting, gone-over-the-edge film ever. (Its so funny though).
Mulholland Dr was really weird. I liked it at the time but I wouldn’t watch it a second time because it was sickening disturbing (which, in term, was what made it great).
why do you like to watch nerd movies?
