my apologies Calhoun. You are correct- the referenced quote should have been mentioned.
Regarding your reply: As a straight man, no- I wouldn't want to "hit it". However, as a deranged Lynch fan, if getting the proverbial prostate exam from "The Man" himself were the price of admission, I'd be accommodating.
Or I suppose I could just Netflix it. Not quite as messy a proposition.
I may require professional help.

So, does anyone know of any e-tailers stocking this DVD yet?
I sure hope they do, as it's probably the only way I'll be able to buy it. It's way to expensive to import to Australia from dl.com

Sorry, but as a die-hard Lynch-o-phile, I feel compelled to throw in my two-and-a-half cents here...
So much whining! If ERASERHEAD is not worth the asking price to you, then just don't buy it (as others have pointed out here, you can rent it from Netflix). I doubt that Mr. Lynch will lose any sleep over it. Besides - have you never bought a Japanese import dvd? The price rivals that of ERASERHEAD.
Both ERASERHEAD and Lynch's SHORT FILMS are "collector's items", and have both been meticulously transferred to dvd at great expense over a VERY long time. This was done under the direct supervision of Mr. Lynch by hand-picked professionals actually working FOR David Lynch. This was not done by a studio with a bazillion other special edition dvds to crank out. The ERASERHEAD dvd is what Lynch fans have been wanting for many years. Even though many of us do not have much disposable income, we were willing to go without one or two "conventional" dvds to pay for ERASERHEAD.
If you think that Lynch is getting rich off sales of ERASERHEAD, you're just plain nuts.
As for the complaints about the dvd "case", this is a case of pure laziness. How difficult is it to download your own graphic and make your own dvd jacket that fits nicely on your shelf? Not very difficult at all. Besides, after you accumulate as many dvds as I have, displaying them on a shelf in their cases is an impossibility (I had to transition my collection to extra-large cd wallets a LONG time ago).
Anyone is free to bitch up a storm about pricing or packaging, but it just seems downright pointless to me. I am one of the many who appreciate special packaging (I'm also double-dipping for the EVIL DEAD II: BOOK OF THE DEAD with the "screaming" eyeball!), and I had a similar reaction to people kvetching about THE SIMPSONS: SEASON 6 packaging... I mean, c'mon! It's Homer's HEAD! Talk about a neat collector's item. Plus - Fox Video even enclosed an offer to order a "standard" dvd case for the set for the price of S&H. But hey - if spouting off about makes ya feel better, then - by all means - spout away!

diabolikdvd.com currently has the disc in stock for $44.99. That's not exactly cheap, but they might be faster than ordering directly from David Lynch's web site.

I agree, though the one pictured in that Amazon link is actually the South Korea release (CJ Entertainment). Compare the photos here: http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.ht...d&x=0&y=0&rg=A

Yeah, I have the Korean R0 version of 'Mulholland Drive', which contains chapter stops, interviews, etc. Not a bootleg, but a distinctly different version from the R1 released here.
