WWLD (what would lynch do?)

What would Lynch do with this film?  Good question.  Would he have allowed the frog explosion?  Would he used the fetus in the barn?  From my experience with Twin Peaks, nothing is out of the question.  However, I do think that Lynch would have classed it up a bit.  There were a few hokey moments that could have been cut.  What Lynch would not have done: that strange sex scene (sans the sex).  What Lynch is jealous of: the twins in black.  boom.

 

 

the twins in black

Was anyone else *really* creeped out by the twins toward the beginning of the film?  You know, the cackling ones that carried a dead bird.  How could you miss them?  Well, the first time I saw The Reflecting Skin, the twins were the biggest anomaly to me.  I dove into discussions about what the twins meant… but alas I was not able to unearth much.  After another Google search, I still was not able to find commentary on these gals.  So, if anyone has thoughts on what they represent in the film, please post!  Or- perhaps you have found discussion elsewhere… 

Thanks!
