This is a scene from David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. I love it for its creepiness, it’s raw intensity, and for Isabella Rosellini. Yum Yum

David Lynch Week: Blue Velvet. Dennis Hopper At His Creepiest
July 4, 2008
David Lynch Week - Wild At Heart… Say, “Fuck me, and I’ll go.”
Vale, youdopians! This scene was one of the imprinting moments of my life. Wild At Heart cemented the awareness that some people yearn to be dominated. My first taste of the whole D/s dynamic, in film, was the “Hit me, James!” moment in Blue Velvet. Holy shit! Isabella Rossellini wants to be beaten? Hell yes. I now know my special purpose. So when Wild At Heart came out, it’s sleazier, grittier, nastier vibe was like the quickening. My girlfriend at this time… let’s just say I’ve made amends.
This scene is a bit long, for those who have no idea wtf is going on. It’s ok. Bear it out. The point is one of will, and seduction. Laura Dern’s boyfriend isn’t around, and sleazy old Bobby Peru comes over “to piss”. The tension builds as he dominates Laura Dern with his will. He’s ugly, repugnant, actually… and yet… just watch it. It’s intense, and very well done. Seeing this reminds me of the debt Tarantino owes to wacky iconoclast David Lynch. Oh yeah… keep an eye out for the Wizard Of Oz homage at the end of this clip. Enjoy.

Ahoy, youdopians! I know I’ve seen this before, but I don’t think I’ve posted it before. It’s just funny because it’s David Lynch.
