Am I really going to watch a 3 hour David Lynch movie that does not have a clear plot? :: INLAND EMPIRE @ AFI Silver 1/12 on, Lynch in person Sun 1/14

Aspects of David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE project sounds good: shot on DV, self-distributed. Other aspects that I have heard about are not so hot: no plot (in any conventional sense), even less clear than Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (i walked out of that movie half way in, at a dollar theater!), and it is 3 hours long. In 3 hours I can watch two 90 minute movies, or do some editing or writing, or work at my day job & earn some money. INLAND EMPIRE is going to play Sat 1/14 at the local movie theater AFI Silver in Silver Spring, MD. With Lynch in attendance. The tickets cost $15. So am I going to enjoy INLAND EMPIRE? Is it worth my time & money? I don't know. I guess it is a one of a kind movie. Maybe I'll go. Now I need to find someone to go with (at the first ask, no one I know was excited about going to see IE). Maybe I'll see if Manohla Dargis is free - I think she liked the movie, she called it art.

UPDATE - a couple of hours later;
The 7:30 PM 1/14 AFI Silver show of INLAND EMPIRE, w/ Lynch in person, has sold out (and that's at like a 400 some seat theater)! Silver has added an 11:30 PM screening, with Lynch introducing the show.

NOTE: INLAND EMPIRE opens on Jan 12 at AFI Silver for an "exclusive limited run" (so far the flick is set to play through 1/18 - last day for the moment?, see calendar here).
