David Lynch checks all the boxes for things that I like but I can't stand his work. I love absurdity and surrealism but everything I've seen of his is so...pretentious I guess? I felt like it tells you it's art instead of letting you come to that conclusion. I don't know.

Another thing that I was sooo sure would be right up my alley but I wound up hating was Naked Lunch, both the book and the film.
