"I never cared much for Easy Rider . It always seemed so sloppy and self-indulgent: I think it's only inarguable innovation is it's use of "found" music; nothing against it's cast, but they're stoned or high to the point of being boring to watch. It's anti-authoritarian in a loud, drunk, high school kind of way. Electra Glide in Blue gives a direct hint or two that it might agree with this sentiment. It is a much neater and more thought out film, that at one point literally takes a shot at the aforementioned biker film. Robert Blake, who I'd really only known for his Lost Highway and wife-shooting creepiness, is a fairly appealing lead as eager-beaver motorcycle cop Jon Wintergreen; he's a spunky little dude. Unlike the grimy whiny hippies of Easy Rider he seems to know what he wants, a promotion to detective. Thus begins Electra Glide's more reasoned attack on authority via motorcycle picture. That position of authority and system itself don't turn out to be what Wintergr ... "

"This is the year that print film criticism went on life support, online film critics drafted sober eulogies and the rest of the world yawned distractedly while poised over the plug. Into the ill-attended open grave my colleague Lauren Wissot just tossed a meditation on film culture titled, “The Movie-Going Public.” I dig it because it dares to take filmgoers as seriously as it does cinema itself. Further, it manages, mostly by way of example, to pee all over the very notion of a professional film critic. I use don’t use the term “pee” lightly but with great care, thinking of readers like Anonymous, who responded to Lauren’s post with, “You’re not an elitist. But you are crass, vulgar and unprofessional… Manny Farber is rolling in his grave.” I want Anonymous, if he or she is reading this, to imagine Mr. Farber howling in pain from the beyond at my using such a crude bathroom word as “pee” in reference to the profession he devoted his life to. But another dead 20th Century critic is ... "

"In the spring of 1997, my life was changed forever.In the spring of 1997 I was out of high school, and doing nothing but lounging around and hanging out with my friends, working the occasional odd job for a temp agency here and there for spending money. Larger and more verifiable changes would be coming in the fall and winter, after I started going to college and began to expand my horizons past my basement apartment in my mom's house. And yet the spring of 1997 marked an important shift in both my perception of the world and my habits within it. Most of the time revelations are seen in hindsight, people rarely recognize life changing moments as they happen. But this time I did.In the spring of 1997, Lost Highway came to town.Lost Highway may seem like an odd film to lionize as much as I'm about to, especially considering it's reception, which ranges from outright hatred to bored indifference. A hardcore David Lynch fan is unlikely to point out Lost Highway as a pinnacle of his car ... "

"Lost Highway is a very stylistic movie and that's what makes it so incredible. I enjoyed it. It really puts you in the character's shoes in that you don't know what's going on. If you don't like the style its made with then duh you won't like it. "

"Great soundtrack. Naturally, I didn't find that out until I wasted my time on David Lynch's Lost Highway. I get that Lynch went for style over substance, but NO substance? That's just ripping off the viewer! Thankfully, this came in the mail from Blockbuster so I like to think I paid nothing for the rental.Although I disliked it, I do feel obligated to point out some of the noir fun:- Camera angles, shadows, nondescript rooms- Dry dialogue between Bill Pullman & his femme fatale- Creepy little man with the clown face who we think will have answers- Puzzling, gruesome murder "
