in fairness Misery, Eraserhead was *meant* to be f**ked up and surreal.. I think what he's saying is most written stories need to follow a plot, which can be difficult if it is too disjointed and you don't know what's going on.

Someone starting in Tokyo would feel very out of place if their introduction immediatedly followed someone who started in Paris for example and we'd feel like we were on Disney's Small World ride in no time as we skipped back and forth.

Also what works in a film doesn't always work in written format, I learned that the hard way.. (also goes the other way in that some written storied do not translate well to films).
