The night after we watched this movie, I said to Andrew, "The Straight Story was strangely heartwarming."  He said he should get a tape recorder because he'd probably never hear me say that again.

And, it *was* strangely heartwarming.  David Lynch made a heartwarming movie.  Why?  Because his long-time girlfriend wrote it.  That is the only explanation.  But he does the movie justice, in spite of it's warm-fuzzy heart.  Sometimes I feel like David Lynch could look into my heart and explain me better than I could.

David Lynch's movies are amazing.  I also recommend his book Catching The Big Fish about meditation.  Andrew bought it for me.  I don't, however, recommend his brand of meditation, which requires a layout of several thousand dollars.  Meditation is free for all, and all you need to know is right here on Dr. Herbert Benson's site (not that I'm endorsing him, but his research and steps seem pretty straight forward - and I always tend toward a secular solution).

I'd thought that it was a documentary ... but it's merely based on fact.  I was happy to see Harry Dean Stanton.  He rocks.
