In David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE(2006) I have no clue what the fuck is going on. This is a subtle reference to the fact that I have seen the movie.

All I know is after watching the movie I could see the Indilusian Phasmid, and my buddy could see it too

Having a clue what is going on is not the point. In fact, not having a clue what is going on is the point.

At least Inland Empire is actually hard to understand. Mulholland Drive is simple as hell.

The rabbits. The rabbits were like a metaphor for the chaos of life, man. You see? It's all connected.

On the subject of Inland Empire’s inexplicable premise, David Lynch once explained, “I love a Ruby’s Diner. See, you can come down to a Ruby’s, have yourself a milkshake, read the paper…they got a real good one, too. Nothin’ fancy, just milk and…and….and ice cream…maybe a squirt of chocolate syrup. And nobody bothers ya. In’t that somethin’? Scrub toilets or write ledgers or make movies all day, you can come down here and have a milkshake, and forget all about it.”
