I seldom comment on this forum, but I gotta say — I’m female (gee, big surprise) and I chide myself for NOT throwing things out.
I used to be (maybe still am) a collectibles dealer — and I’ve got dolls, stuffed animals, old toys, knickknacks, vintage costume jewelry and even parts of dead computers.
For obvious reasons, I kinda prefer a man who likes clutter too.
And it was career military father, not my mother, who threw everything away when I was a kid, including my stuff.

Not a film one can forget — and I believe David Lynch’s first.
