humorous and horrifying

...and, unfortunately, kind of boring.

Somehow Lynch managed to make a work of both absurdist comedy and surrealist horror in just three minutes and it wasn't all too interesting for a majority of its running time. Of course, it was still at least partially interesting and the visual it feeds the viewer is really unique and hard to describe accurately with adjectives. The whole short has this bizarre feeling that's so uncomfortable and unsettling I'm quite impressed (which is why this otherwise overly slow short mustered up a 6/10 from me); of course, what else could I expect from Lynch, even at his most minor and, frankly, amateurish?

What I have just seen?
What does this movie mean. Two cartoons(looks like gloves) are screaming continously for 3 minutes . Yeah, that's all . The whole feeling was unpleasant and frustrating . It can not be explained in words.

My only question is- why someone would make such a film?

Maybe short film isn't David Lynch's thing...

Having gone through most of his short film "creations", I have a strong suspicion that this format isn't really for Lynch. Creativity without control, idea without meaning, aesthetics without content. There are several interpretations of Lynch in my head, the most favorable of which he is a holy lunatic (I would rather not elaborate on the rest, given the rules of the IMDb...) who vomits his incoherent visions with schizophrenic unfilterity. In the absence of guidance, the vast majority of these works are worthless and unenjoyable. Unfortunately, this piece also falls into this category.
