Finally got around to seeing this Inland Empahr. Since this thread seems to be a list of random observations, questions and comparisons I'll just throw mine on the pile.
-The Rabbit stuff appears to come from a self-contained project of Lynch's from a few years back. The IMDb discription reads: Rabbits: Plotless show starring people in rabbit suits. Anyone seen it?
-Inland Empire is the title and is mentioned at least once that I remember. There are a few entries on Wikipedia about this, the one that seemed most relevant to me refers to Ontario, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties in southern California. Kind of an archaic use coigned to differentiate the area from LA which it has apparently since become more attached to. This thinking about geography got me wondering what the deal with Poland was all about.
-The husband is from Poland and there are sinister insinuations at one point that Dern knows more Polish than she lets on. Also the movie takes place in southern California and Poland, though the way they're connected in the story is pretty obscure.
-This is just a random one but my first impression of the old woman after finishing the movie was that she's an older Dern (whether imaginary or real), as she seems to be suffering the same condition of forgetting, multiple personalities and remembering future events. I'm not sure if I'm misremembering this but I think she had an accent and would guess it was Polish.
