Avoiding The Blurbstomp – Lost Guyway

David Lynch's mid-career masterpiece Lost Highway tells the story of a few lost souls and found ghouls prowling the liminal spaces of Southern California. About half through the film (spoiler but the movie is more than a decade old, so the spoiler rule does not apply suckers), Balthazar Getty's character transforms into a completely different character played by Bill Pullman with no explanation beyond Lynch later stating that the film exists in the same Nightmare Logic universe as Twin Peaks. Identities, egos, and even flesh are seen as nothing more than oobleck, temperamental and seemingly impossible. 

Such a film brings to mind one person: Bud Black.
