Blue Roses —> Glass Menagerie —> Laura.
The Glass Menagerie is accounted by many to be an autobiographical play about Williams’s life, the characters and story mimicking his own more closely than any of his other works. Williams (whose real name is Thomas) would be Tom, his mother, Amanda, and his sickly and (supposedly) mentally ill sister Rose would be Laura (whose nickname in the play is “Blue Roses”, a result of an unfortunate bout of pleurosis as a high school student). It has been suggested as well that the character of Laura is based upon Williams himself, referencing his introvert nature and obsessive focus on one part of life (writing for Williams and glass animals in Laura’s case)

I love two-lane highways. They say something about the way things used to be, and about areas that don’t have a lot of people. On those two-lanes at night you get the sense of moving into the unknown, and that’s as thrilling a sense as human beings can have.
God I love this movie.
Inside David Lynch’s Paris Nightclub - Inspired by the deeply strange Club Silencio in Mulholland Drive, the film director has opened a nightclub in the French capital: “There were no dwarves. No dancing men. No one talked backwards – until the daquiries kicked in – and with the exception of the Japanese cowboy who turned out to be a fashion designer, no one looked all that weird.”
Damn.
