Mullholland Drive...Uhhhhh...(haha)

i thought the movie was fine overall. but all the little shit (the stuff that didn't have an explaination) just had to go. i pretty much figured out what was kind going on, but the link up top made things a lot more clearer.

Ah well, at least the soft-core lesbian sex scene between two hot as fuck actresses was good

definitely.

It was some good smut, but, frankly, the scene with a broken woman feverishly fingering herself while crying excitedly, was more than a little disturbing.

That's just wrong on so many levels.

I recommend not thinking about that movie at all. There's no way that any sembelance of sense can ever be made out of it. Great soundtrack though.

Apparently, what's his name...ummm...Bill Pullman, kills his wife, and goes to jail, and then imagines the rest, and himself as Balthazar Ghetty.

One of the most pretentious peices of shit I have ever seen.
That is all.

This one was.

The Lost Highway is a terriable terriable movie, one of David Lynchs worst! Wild At Heart is pretty good, but also Disturbing. Blue Velvet is also good, again distrubing. Elephantman is good, but yet again, disturbing. David Lynch is weird.

say what you want about Lynch's films, but they are always unforgettable.

As would getting ass raped be.

Unforgettable /= good.

I've yet to see The Lost Highway (dying to, though), but that sounds very similar to the character "switching" in Mulholland Drive. Personally, I thought Mulholland Drive was an excellent film, though it took me three viewings to really feel comfortable over what transpired. Sure, the whole "it was supposed to be on ABC, the pilot got rejected, so that's why the movie doesn't make sense" arguement is there, but I tend to agree with the analysis provided in Korly's link. From what I've heard about The Lost Highway, and from what I know of Mulholland Drive, it seems to be a recurring case of Jungian psychology being implemented. I don't believe that Lynch just makes things confusing just for the sake of being a mindfuck, though that usually ends up being the ending effect.

The only other Lynch film I've seen to date is the excellent Blue Velvet. I'd really like to see The Lost Highway, as well as Eraserhead. Too bad they're not on DVD and I no longer own a VCR.
