David Lynch did indeed direct ""Eraserhead."  Anybody interested in
artistic movies (or just special effects, for that matter) shouldn't
miss a chance to see "Eraserhead."  It's an extremely cryptic movie,
but I gather it has a theme and that it's not just a showing-off of
technique, though the technique is amazing.  I guess it's about the grim 
horror of industrial urban life.  Anybody who saw Lynch's "Elephant Man" 
and would like to see the predecessor to all those effects shouldn't miss it.  
 
A question to those who have seen "Eraserhead":  Do you know why
the credits include a special thank-you to Sissy Spacek?  I've seen
the movie a few times and always wondered that.   Also, any word
on what any of the actors in the movie have done since?
 
Incidentally, I don't know where to see "Eraserhead" in Chicagoland,
though I'm aware it's available on videocassette now.
