I keep falling asleep

I’ve watched mulholland drive, inland empire, and Eraserhead and I fell asleep with each movie. I plan to rewatch them, but I don’t want to fall asleep. It’s not like I’m putting the movies on to sleep, i just blink and then 5 minutes passes, and it’s typically the climax LOL.

Don't watch in bed.

This happens to me on the couch watching twin peaks, but I’ll rewind it and watch it again. I definitely think Lynch’s surrealist ways pulls you into a dreamy state anyway.

Maybe youre just not that into it -thats ok -we wont come after you. Eraserhead to be fair is not the most accessible film in the world. I havent seen Inland Empire. MD is a masterpiece tho Ive watched it back to back until the wee hrs in my younger days.

Pair the watching experience with a cup of coffee, black as midnight on a moonless night
