EPTIt seems to me that this family of rabbits are actually souls trapped in hell or purgatory. They exist in a limbo state of nonsense, but occasionally become aware of their surroundings and comment on them. I will post the first two episodes here, and if you want to watch the rest look them up on youtube. I hope this will generate some discussion. I'm interested to see if any of you are as disturbed as I am; I do think the videos would make anyone very uncomfortable. Possibly we can discuss its meaning as well, it could be interpreted in a manner of ways.

Although it did seem somewhat dadaist at the time, it must mean something. I thought it may also have to do with the way television has broken down communication between people and families. Regardless of its merit, I feel it's interesting enough to post. | ||

I got the same impression. Things like "I only wish that they would go somewhere" and "All day ..." make me feel like they're watching the audience watch them on some messed up TV show and they're wondering why they would want to waste their time sitting in front of the television doing nothing. Anyways it wasn't that unnerving to watch until the second episode, and then I was just like wtf. | ||

I mean, it's David Lynch, yes. But should we let the status of the messenger modify the meaning of the content? I saw this a couple years ago (there's 6 in the series I think). If you don't get it, you don't get it. I don't get it - I refuse to believe that anyone but Lynch himself understands what exactly he was attempting to convey, if anything that is. What I do understand is that art that portrays seemingly nothing is done that way for a reason and I personally believe it is to inspire and evoke introspection. I'll never understand what goes on in David Lynch's head but I can't deny that I haven't come up with conclusions that at least work for me and maybe that's the point. | ||
