It's okay, you don't have to pretend like it's good or "you just have to see it for yourself."

Its a good film but not necessarily for everyone. For me it has some memorable and good parts, like the "In heaven" scene, but you have to be in a specific kind of state of mind to enjoy and get into it - a state of mind which most people in contemporary western society simply never go into. Lynch's work is heavily influenced by eastern philosophical thought which is why it doesn't impact the average western observer in the way that he would probably like it to, not that he cares much because I think his primary drive for creation was joy of expressing an idea, not making slop for the audience. He didn't have any deep insights or teachings to impart, he simply translated his unconsciousness into the medium of film the same way you would write down a dream - That's why Dune didn't work for him.
This clip gives a pretty nice insight into his creative process which at least to me proves that he was one of the real ones:
