No!  No!  "Just one of those things we must marvel
at" is not satisfactory!  I have wondered the same
thing myself, and I don't think Lynch is that
arbitrary in his methods, is he?  Of course, I don't
subscribe to the theory that every little thing in
his films is wrought with meaning, but a dead guy
standing erect?  How much nerve does this guy have,
expecting us just to swallow that in the name of
"weirdness" or "marvels"?  What I'm saying is that I
wouldn't really accept any of Lynch's films if they
were weird purely for the sake of weird, and I don't
think many other people would, either.
