What You'll Find What it lacks true Lynchian weirdness, this understated tribute makes up for in exhaustiveness. There's a catalog Lynch's entire film oeuvre, including "Six Men Getting Sick,'' a one-minute animated short made in 1967. And who knew the director of Eraserhead happened to be an accomplished furniture designer?
Why It's Essential One has to appreciate the seriousness of the endeavor, although the homepage hasn't been updated since late year. Still, how many big fansites provide links to academic papers about their subjects? One day, we hope read ''On the Lost Highway: Lynch Lacan, Cinema and Cultural Pathology.''
