	Can anyone offer explanation as to the reasoning behind the making
of "Eraserhead"?  I rented it this weekend and was unimpressed, disappointed,
and confused.  Why would anyone PAY to have this movie made?  It does not
entertain, inform, stimulate the brain, or evoke any emotion.  I find it to
be more offensive than the slasher/T&A/Smokey and the Car Chase offerings
because it doesn't seem to address itself to ANY audience...  Did I miss 
something?

	I must admit I WAS impressed by the baby... I believe ET was a not
too distant cousin of the little bag of guts...  

	If anyone can explain any of the following, I would appreciate it :

	*  The squabs that moved and "bled"...
	*  The "worms" dropping on the woman with the tennis balls in her mouth
	*  The eraser producing machine and what it meant
	*  Henry's hair
