Cinema Is it just me or is Mulholland Drive a $#/+ movie?

[ShatsBassoon]

This flick has been on my list for awhile now. Finally sat down and threw away two and a half hours of my life that I'll never get back.

This movie is a convoluted mess. A bunch of storylines that simply dead end.

This has to be the most overrated piece of ? movie ever.

Spoiler: The only redeemable feature of this film nsfw

Thoughts?

It’s been a while since I watched it but I do recall thinking “that’s it” after it be so highly recommended.

 

[Super Dave]

Also agree about the redeeming factor.

Nah. Turns out it was all a dream. Tah-dah!

Don't have to tie up any plot points, loose ends or complete any character arcs, it was all a dream!!

This thread is 21 years in the making. Glad you finally made time for it.

It's pretty terrible, but Lost Highway is worse.

They literally did the "Bobby Ewing dying in a car crash was all a dream" plot from 1980s soap opera Dallas?

Wow.

Prime Watts was a stunner
Other chick is beautiful as well, shame about the bad boob job

Isn't a David Lynch film? That says it all, his specialty is plots that aren't a plot and never resolve

 

[SongExotic2]

Never watched it. Has it got guns in it?

It is the sum total of Hollywood's mental illness, insanely propagated by Hollywood as "art".
When there's a Brillo pad left in a Hilton shower, it's not because crackheads were prior guests, it's because there was a marathon of Mulholland Drive on Showtime.

 

[steroid to heaven]

David Lynch movies are mental, not in a good way

 

[Grateful Dude]

No idea as I’ve never seen it, so no vote.

but the tits posted above have me second guessing my choice in watching it

 

[John Lee Pettimore]

It has several interesting scenes (the cowboy, the giant mafia guy, the creepy old man in the weird room, the mafia guy with the coffee in the meeting with the director, the lesbian scene, the casting song scene).... but as a movie? No. It's too incoherent, too weird for the sake of being weird.

This is something interesting that I just found out. The movie was supposed to be a tv series, but the studio essentially told Lynch "nope, wrap it up" so he thought up an ending to tie up a bunch of story lines. Which explains why it's such a convoluted mess.
Somehow you don't know shit about cinema if you don't consider it a masterpiece in filmmaking.
