“I was so excited when I discovered this was available! I couldnu0026#39;t wait to see it. What a waste of energy! Itu0026#39;s kind of like that rarities CD by your favorite band you found in the back of the rack at your local music store. Being a hard core fan you were certain that it was a valuable discovery. But once you heard it it became obvious why these dogs never made it onto a real album. This DVD is only recommended for u0026#39;completionistsu0026#39; who must have everything Lynch has done. u0026quot;Six Men Getting Sicku0026quot; is somewhat visually interesting but short and repetitive. It lacks the power of Lynchu0026#39;s later work u0026quot;The Grandmotheru0026quot; is quite simply an immature work. Itu0026#39;s tedious and looks like a student film. But it was the 70u0026#39;s…Itu0026#39;s interesting only if you hope to psychoanalyze the director. But you can see, briefly, the seeds of some of his trademark images and sounds. u0026quot;The Alpahabetu0026quot; is forgettable (No really! I canu0026#39;t remember this one at all!) u0026quot;The Amputeeu0026quot; is pointless. u0026quot;The Cowboy and the Frenchmanu0026quot; is just plain silly. u0026quot;Lumiereu0026quot; is the only worthwhile one in the bunch. Without dialog Lynch tells a disturbing tale comparable with his best work. I had to watch this one several times. But it runs less than 2 minutes. Hardly worth the trouble of renting or buying the DVD.”
