The Amputee

David Lynch’s hair in this makes him look like a giant penis.

Only watch if you are a diehard Lynch fan just so you can say you've seen it.

The log lady's stumps.

Mildly Interesting

It's okay, but I'm really not sure where this was supposed to be going.

Watched for completion. Basically irrelevant.

This is so weird -- someone writing a letter on paper??

Slightly creepy and interesting.

In the second take, the leg gushing blood is played hilariously. Otherwise, whatever.

The Log Lady! :)

by having such banal dialogue read by a person with severe disfigurement, this somehow manages to be quite creepy, especially with the final words.

Very mildly bizarre, but mostly boring.

It surely generates some feelings and thoughts in a viewer.

I'm not sure how I feel about this short film. The whole thing consists of a woman drafting a letter to a friend and we get to hear her personal musings while she puts this letter together. The whole time a male nurse is redressing her bandages on her amputated legs. This lasts for three minutes and then it is over. Only one shot is used and it is in black and white. Lynch's wonderful sound effects are missing other than the nasty snipping sounds as he clips away her dressings. So yeah, ave

Uhm ...

Pretty hilarious once you figure out what's happening.

Trying to think about the whole unexisting film this scene is taken from is fun.

Without doubt a minor work, but my feeling is that there is something genuinely eerie about this.

Like her leg's bleeding like fuck and she doesn't notice. How surreal man. I guess it's mildly interesting despite how retardedly pretentious it is.

I thought it was a pointless dud, until I realised I couldn't remember anything that woman said. I'm a bad person :(

Good gracious. An extra-disturbing rough draft of The Log Lady

Dull and pointless.

"This is not what I am telling you."

Great snap shot of Lynch's sense of humor. Think of it as one of those long jokes without a real punchline...

Not good, not bad, just irrelevant.

Occasionally kind of gross and hard to watch. But then I suppose that's the point.

It is my understanding that Lynch filmed this (twice) because he was asked to test two kinds of tape. In any case, it should be of interest only to die-hard fans and completists.

Not my favourite of Lynch's earlier work, but it's watchable and interesting.

For some sick reason, I found this film extremely funny.

Not a pivotal part of Lynch's oeuvre, but kind of interesting in its own, twisted way.
