Poster poser

Need a new big poster for my front room as I'm bored of the current Mulholland Drive one that I've had for years. Was thinking the one below. It's another Lynch film, though this one might have been a classic but was flawed unlike MHD which is an incredible film experience when watched in the right manner (see below). I just like Lynch and think this is quite a cool poster. What do you reckon? Any other suggestions?
Re watching Mulholland Drive, it's a really good idea to approach it in the following way to get the most of it (and thanks to the Box for suggesting I do this). I REALLY recommend you don't look at the mega spoiler links first.

1. Watch the film once right through and try - and fail - to work out what's going on. You should also have Lynch's 10 clues to interpreting the film that to hand when watching it to make it more interesting. They are:

1) Pay particular attention to the beginning of the film: at least two clues are revealed before the credits.
2) Notice appearances of the red lampshade.
3) Can you hear the title of the film that Adam Kesher is auditioning actresses for? Is it mentioned again?
4) An accident is a terrible event... Notice the location of the accident.
5) Who gives a key, and why?
6) Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup.
7) What is felt, realised and gathered at the club Silencio?
8) Did talent alone help Camilla?
9) Note the occurrences surrounding the man behind 'Winkies'
10) Where is Aunt Ruth?

2. After watching it once, read 'The Base Story (Linear chronology)' from this.

3. Then read this as well.

4. Watch the film again.

A shockingly good film.

Never seen Mulholland - I'll have to add it to my post-a-dvd rental thingy.

Good to see your Sunday nights are as productive as mine, Mr Lunt!

Dagnabbit. It's not on their rental list - though I did take the time to add two films I haven't ever seen, but really should have.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Zoolander.

And the video Biography of Alan Shearer, natch.

Mullholland Drive is a great film, especially when watched as Lunt recommended.

In addition it's got a quality lesbo scene in it.

Poster suggestion Lunt - the female tennis player scratching her arse.

Or the classic student poster - an alien smoking a spliff with the caption "Take me to your dealer". Hi-larious.

A lesbo scene involving Naomi Watts and the police woman off Sunset Beach nonetheless...

A poster such as the one you propose proclaiming "Lurid eroticism" would grace any parlour, Lunt. Perhaps you could track down the one for "Shaving Ryan's Privates"?

Haven't seen Mulholland Drive, though I like the song by REM. Should watch it - thanks for the spoilers.

All good poster suggetions, but may I suggest this

I'm sure she'll see the funny side.

I called her over and she said "What c**£ put that up?".

Very ladylike.

Maybe one of the ones that runs the world?

Perhaps she would prefer this?

A pig!!?! I think you’ve bitten off more that you can chew here Mr Anon. She can punch well with both hands and is very accurate with her knee. I recommend you don’t reveal yourself on any nights out with her at any point soon...

PS I meant reveal your identity but the above is funnier, although in the circumstances a lot more dangerous.

Thanks very much! I'll follow your instructions to the letter.

PS Just to clarify to the rest, I'm not the mystery film-name scumbag - this is summat else.
