Have you seen Eraserhead (1977)? ... spoilers!

i had heard a bit about it, most of it positive.

i typed 'eraserhead review' into youtube and quite a few videos came up that presumably attempted to explain the film.. i couldn't be arsed watching a youtube vid with some artsy-fartsy person droning on about eraserhead and lynch so i thought i'd start an op about it instead.. i bought the dvd a few days ago.

i gotta say, it's quite a strange film.
