Thank you, that's it. And to answer about Zizek … he reuses bits and pieces of his texts so themes tend to spread through his work, but in The Plague of Fantasies, for one, he speaks of Lynch's portrayals of the Real (the impossible pre-symbolic state of being) through the baby in Eraserhead and through excrement in general – the 'almost' formless excess being the most apt image of the world before symbolization.
