I was blown away by this at the time, and revisited it recently with the media buzz of it passing a silver anniversary.
Lynch's best and Frank Booth still, for me, the baddest baddie. Can't believe it's 25 years already, that makes it older than a lot of strutters
If you've never seen it, do yourself a favour.

shit yeah it is. me and the GF just ripped through all of twin peaks and even THAT still makes the skin crawl.
She kinda blew open the notion of what an attractive and sexy woman could look like.
For better or worse, that movie has definitely left a stamp on my brain.
They just released the Blu-Ray and im tempted to upgrade. But I dont know if im a big enough fan to.
Dennis Hopper... so baddass... he said in an interview that the Frank Booth character was similar to how he's been in the late 70s around the time when he shot Out Of The Blue (haven't seen it? what are you waiting for?) Around the same time Blue Velvet came out, I got to see this exhibit of Hoppers' Photography, I think all the pictures were from '64-'67, loads of bikers with nazi memorabilia smoking heroin and stuff. He must have had a life... incredible.
Laura Dern might have had the most mesmerizing crying scenes ever in movie history, that shit was just ridiculous...
Pretty sure the song and movie title was a homage to this:
The coke bottle rape was Hopper's character in Paris Trout, not in Blue Velvet.
When I first watched it, I was like, "holy shit, Laura Dern isn't this bad of an actress is she?!" But then I read something somewhere saying that Lynch specifically told her to act poorly in order to give the movie an even more unsettling guise. And now I'm all like, "woah."
Is it the girl next door thing?
Wild at Heart pretty much sealed her hot factor imo.
Are her and Ben Harper still together?
Oh, and this:
^^^ SCARED.
