the Twin Peaks one is trying to be an actual criticism instead of a white dude perspective and it’s “I don’t get it so it’s lolsorandumbXD”
bruh Twin Peaks has an extremely coherent narrative and the visuals don’t get surreal until The Return, and even then they’re mostly grounded in common symbolism instead of going into extreme esoterica
if you bounce that hard off of Twin Peaks you would struggle to perceive much less understand actual outsider art or anything genuinely weird
I realize I’ve been baited into responding to this but come on
Also, Twin Peaks absolutely has a white dude critique. The entire show is just all the white dudes coming together and doing rape and genocide but abstractly.
And even all the esoteric stuff can be ignored as "lol, black lodge things, amiright??" You don't even need to pay attention to the "logistics" or the "plotholes", the narrative literally says it's magic.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Twin Peaks. The symbolism is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of occult lore most of the plot arcs will go over a typical viewer's head.
I know you’re doing a bit but my whole point was that you don’t need a high IQ or a grasp of occult lore to understand it, it’s very accessible. It’s a soap opera that aired on a major network, not some avant garde film studies project made with the express purpose of being as inscrutable as possible.
Eraserhead is well-made, but a deeply unpleasant viewing experience. I would say that I like that movie, as much as you can like it, and I’d be fine with never watching it again.

I dunno, I love a lot of weird and surreal stuff but for some reason Lynch just doesn't do anything for me, outside maybe Eraserhead.
My friends made me watch Eraserhead in high school and I hated it so much that I don’t think I’ll ever give David Lynch another chance.
I’ve heard Twin Peaks is a lot more straightforward, but I just really don’t want to check it out. Also Lynch is a shitty person.

Dune is fun, though.
Eraserhead is a comedy. I saw it in theaters a while back and the audience was cracking the fuck up
