'Blue Velvet': Meet the Hopper

94115__blue_lJust in time for the 20th anniversary of Blue Velvet comes this faux-trailer, spinning David Lynch's suburban nightmare as a Meet the Fockers-type comedy, in which everything would be fine for Kyle MacLachlan and Laura Dern (pictured) if not for wacky potential father-in-law Dennis Hopper. Robert Ryang cut it for last week's Independent Spirit Awards. Not as funny as his priceless Shining trailer, which turned Stanley Kubrick's horror classic into a warm family dramedy, but still pretty clever. (And not safe for work, since Ryang left in a few of the Hopper character's typically profane exhortations.) Bonus points for use of trailer cliches ''Under Pressure'' and ''Bad to the Bone'' on the soundtrack.
