All right this is OT, but she is undeniably pretty as a duck on a june bug in that picture.
Seriously, though -- I think there's a place where using good art music (and not that Buxtehude crap! joking) makes all the difference. I'm not blind, but I just don't "look" at movies that often. Sound design in general is the thing -- how did they use compression for the audio? Is it so much compression that nuances drop out from the recorded speech? Is it so little that you get the classic "turn it way up only to be overwhelmed by some music/explosions a half-second later"?
I suppose on the same line, while I "get" the work that instrumental composers do, all the filler music, I'd appreciate more semi-diegetic nods in the score. Not everyone likes hearing somebody's score straight-from the DAW.
Lynch gets it right. So, for that matter, does (or did) Gus van Sant (he uses Kelley Baker, who is a great sound guy). I think that lacuna is a flaw from when directors (a) stopped having as much competent production control, by real producers and (b) let excess from visual specialists flow over into aspects that should have been under their creative control
