Mulholland Drive- 3/10

I had high expectations for this, and I found it to just be ridiculously dumb, pointless, and boring. Did anyone else think this was a stupid movie or am I the only one?

It's one of my absolute favorite Lynch films. Preferred it over Lost Highway. I feel as though, in some ways that he is parodying himself in this film. It's almost like a self-tribute. You also have all of the classic Lynchian archetypes.

So I think YOU'RE ridiculously dumb.

OHHHHHHHHHH SNAP. :p

I also thought Mulholland Drive sucked donkey nuts.. As for Lynch.. I do admire the tone he can create in a film.. but I am not a big fan of his work.... I did like Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks.. but Blue Velvet I thought was held together by Dennis Hopper, so i don't know..

You just didn't get it, dumb-dumb. :rolleyes:

The Films of David Lynch - as I see them.

Eraserhead - groundbreaking and unforgettable. a HUGE influence for me as to how i would look at film after seeing it the 1st time.

The Elephant Man - well done but something i never felt the need to watch twice.

Blue Velvet - great film ... powerful and haunting

Dune - some Lynch trademarks but mostly atypical for him.. but i love it.

Wild at Heart - my all time favorite Lynch. Love every second of every frame.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me - the only film of his i can say i hated. tedious, lazy, pointless.

Lost Highway - not great - but interesting.

Mulholland Dr.
Inland Empire
- i own both of these but havent seen them yet

I hesitate to call it stupid, but I found it highly overrated, a bit annoying and yes, for the most part, boring. And I AM a Lynch fan, I love Blue Velvet.

Anyway, watched Demons last night.

Oh my god Posher. Oh my god.

I think I was the only one here who genuinely liked you,
and thought your taste wasn't all that horrible.

But you just ruined that.

Ten times over.

Dumb? DUMB? As Chronogirl said, you're dumb. To call this film dumb, jesus h. christ... it's one of the most intelligent films I've ever seen.

Pointless? WHERE YOU EVEN WATCHING IT?

Boring? If you call illustrating raw emotion on screen boring, then I'd agree with you.

I actually really hate you right about now.

I don't think you can say your genuinely a Lynch fan unless you like Mulholland Dr, the atmosphere of Inland Empire and of course, Eraserhead. Lost Highway too. Blue Velvet is not that Lynchian, IMO.

Baby's Day Out.


Put my brains on the shelf and enjoyed this with the wife last night, after wishing her Happy B-day at 12 PM. :)

She loved it too. Nothing like sharing a good laugh at the beginning of a special and wonderful day.

Here's hoping you watched it with some buddies and possibly a beer or two...that movie isn't good for anything but making fun of.

Wrong. I understood all of it. I still think it's boring and way too lengthy. If it was a novel it would've been better.

Congrats - you've got 1 up on David Lynch.

His movies are very rarely meant to be understood, they're meant to be experienced.

So what'd you expect everyone to adore it because it's a so called masterpiece? I loved Eraserhead and Blue Velvet, but I don't like this one and everyone thinks its the second coming of Christ?


@Joshuabe- You now hate me because I didn't like a movie. Think about it. There are much better reasons to hate me.

Opinions are like assholes.

"Unlawful entry" 7/10


Liotta is definitely in his right element in this one. Delightfully unpleasant.

Russell is also doing what he does (next) best. Playing an everyday husband. Very convincing. He played very much the same character in "Breakdown".

The Hogfather

It's The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. And he's not the only one taking it personally. I think Joshuabe is about to nuke my house. It's a movie people, not everyone is going to like it. Cry about it.

Aww.. Posh, you just have "bubble gum" taste in films...

*My Point*

You Like ...John Tucker Must Die

You Dislike..Mulholland Drive

It's just because you're a teenager....Sheesh. :D

I totally dug Mean Girls...

The Mothman 08-08-2008 04:55 PM

Im not taking anything personally, hes entitled to his opinion, i just disagree with his opinion, thats all. perhaps i came off a little harsh, my bad.
And I dont think being a teenager necessarily effects taste for the worse. But maybe i'm just saying that because I'm 18 :)

Me neither.Judging by what Alkytrio and Return post about what they watch,you would think they're in their late 20's or 30's.But it turns out they're just like...18 or 19.They just have different tastes in movie then most teengars.Like me,ill watch anything as long as it has a good story.I need to watch some more of the asian stuff though.I've only watched Blind Beast and Audition.

He does. But his are cool films with little story but lots of gore and breasts. Not watching an Arielle Kibbel movie for other reason than to masturbate to Arielle Kibbel.
