I found _MD_ anything but tedious.  However, it's full of
clichés, (which are given the clichéed Lynchian undershadowing
of evil, naturally).  Clichés can be fun.  But are the Demiurge 
and the other that is oneself clichés in the 21st century?  The 
absorption of one dream in another?  Doesn't feel that way to me 
although such things have been frequent in the movies lately 
(_Waking_Life_, good, _Vanilla_Sky_, bad).
