Saw Big Fan with Patton Oswalt (pretty decent flick, Oswalt is really good in it) and finally saw Eraserhead, which is as crazy as everyone says.
What's Eraserhead about again?
From my blog:

"I'll tell the story as much as I can but I won't try to explain it, because to try to make sense of it would a waste of time. Let's just say there's this strange guy that works as a printer. He is on vacation. He apparently lives in an industrial city that is nearly abandoned, because we hardly ever see anyone outside on the streets; there are no incidental characters. Now this guy, Henry Spencer, has a girlfriend that he has apparently gotten pregnant, though he seems to be unaware of that. He is invited to her house for dinner where he meets her incredibly strange family and is told by the mother (after she licks his face in a fit of passion) about the baby. He then is told he must marry the girlfriend (Mary) and move her and the baby into his apartment.

Let's cut the to chase and say that the baby is some sort of mutant. It doesn't resemble a human at all. It's head looks like a cross between a horse and some kind of dinosaur and it's body is long and thin. Still, it is oddly endearing. Whoever did the special effects did a bang-up job because the way the eyes and mouth move make the creature seem alive. Anyway, the "baby" cries all the time, which makes the already insane Mary even more crazy. She leaves to go back to her parents. Now Henry is left alone to cope with the baby. When the baby gets sicks, he tries to nurse it back to health but it doesn't seem to work. Henry is trapped in his grotesque room with nothing to do but hallucinate and/or go insane. He sees a tiny woman behind his radiator who sings and dances and tells him of better days to come. He dreams of an affair with his neighbor across the hall. He sees all sort of appalling visions, such as sperm-like creatures that writhe across the floor. Then he wakes up. And he kills his baby. Or does he?

Eraserhead got director David Lynch established and well on his way to a career built on movies like this, focusing on the surreal where real life and dreams and insanity constantly blend. Back when it was made it was known as a "mind blowing" experience and if you can let yourself go a bit, it is still a compelling ride. Strange, twisted, and at time repulsive, but compelling all the same. "

G-Force was not a very good kids movie. I was bored to tears and the kids never cared for it much.
