Funny / Inland Empire

• Kingsley yelling at Bucky, the lighting technician — played by the man himself.
• The beginning of the credits is filled with strangely hilarious callbacks and visual puns.
• The prostitutes breaking out into doing "The Loco-Motion" out of nowhere, only to just as suddenly disappear into thin air. Nikki is flabbergasted and speechless at the whole thing.
• Arguably, the scene where the Phantom menaces Nikki with a lightbulb in his mouth. Yeah... what.
• The slow, awful buildup of tension throughout the movie makes the occasional cheeky reference to Sunset Boulevard that much more effective.
• In Real Life, David Lynch sat on Hollywood Blvd. with a cow in an attempt to get an Oscar nom for Laura Dern's performance. He also has a sign that said "Without cheese there wouldn't be an Inland Empire".
