Agreed Ross - and there's even a Gordon Cole in SUNSET BLVD! I was highlighting the twinned-women microgenre.

Watched Hellraiser last night, and there's a very strong similarity between dumpster person and the homeless dude that picks the cube out of the fire. It's close enough to where I'm wondering if Lynch just grabbed the idea directly from Barker.

Watched this for the first time recently - then watched it again (over a few days), to pick up some threads. Pretty... uh, remarkable movie; and not at all what I was expecting (in a good way). I've been thinking about it a lot, but I guess there's not much to say that would be interesting or "fresh"... I've never seen a Wikipedia page for a movie with so much theory/discussion, ha ha. It is interesting to read that the first half (or whatever) was originally shot as a TV pilot, which I guess explains some things.
I was surprised to encounter several plot elements (and actors) from Twin Peaks: The Return (which I love to death). Parts of the movie almost feel like a "dry run" for that series – to see it now almost "ruins the magic" a little, lol! But I'm sure glad I finally saw it. (For context, I decided I was done with Lynch movies after Lost Highway, so I had no interest when this came out.)
One other thing I will say is that Naomi Watts's performance is just incredible.

I definitely think most of the Dougie plot was either originally meant for or is a commentary on Mulholland Drive.
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 18:42 (three years ago) link
xpost Lost Highway might be Lynch's worst movie, Mulholland might be his best. It's a jarring turnabout, tbf.
Glad/jealous you had your first time with it! My favorite Nick Nolte movie, hands down.

I might have to pick up the Criterion Blu-ray of Mulholland Dr.; I feel like I could watch it over & over again. Not sure exactly why... something about it is just so watchable, on a scene-by-scene basis (even when you know what's coming).

Madness.Yes, morrisp, these films are meant to be watched and rewatched. I first saw IE late at night, in the dark, on a laptop with headphones, volume turned way up (and immediately followed by the hour+ of extra footage on the second DVD). I don't know that that's the ideal way to see it but it was still a pretty righteous way to see it. An unforgettable experience.

MD may be the best movie to wake up in the middle of, late at night and disoriented/altered.
― bulb after bulb, Wednesday, 7 April 2021 22:16 (three years ago) link
I still love Eraserhead and Blue Velvet and the OG Twin Peaks, but I'm strongly coming around to the idea that my top-tier Lynch is everything he's done from Mulholland Drive forward. (Which is to say, MD, Inland Empire and TP:TR)

The first half of MD has a “welcoming” quality, and a lightness of touch, that I sure didn’t associate with his movies. And it’s, like, “funny”... I wasn’t expecting that! (When Billy Ray Cyrus showed up, I was like - ok, whaaaaaat is this movie)
― come along you starbucks lovers (taylor’s version) (morrisp), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 23:56 (three years ago) link
Yeah Mulholland Drive is deceptively warm-feeling, for a movie that ends as a tragedy. I love its weird colorful Hollywood.

I like Lost Highway a fair bit, although the car chase scene is the worst thing in it. He's made at least two films worse than LH, though.
fwiw, he couldn't have made Mulholland Dr. if he hadn't made Lost Highway, so even if you don't like it, it's still necessary.

The video cuts to Particia Arquette's butchered body as one of his best and most horrible ideas. The "call me"/"I'm there right now" scene at the party is essential in his work.

Rewatched Lost Highway recently and it wasn't nearly as bad as I remembered. It's still near the bottom of the Lynch pile, but I sorta like it now.
Inland Empire is amazing but I can't rewatch it with any regularity. It is a Bad Trip.

I disliked Fire Walk With Me pretty strongly when it came out, but I appreciate it now. It’s still kind of a mess, but pretty powerful – I didn’t appreciate what it was doing at the time, I wasn’t “ready” for it. (It was probably also helpful for The Return to come along and help recontextualize it.)

I watched Fire Walk with Me on VHS in '93 without watching a millimeter of Twin Peaks and loved this terrific shambles.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 8 April 2021 01:42 (three years ago) link
totally second the echoes of MD in twin peaks: the return, that's what I kept thinking about as I watched the show (I saw the film first). which also explains why I am pretty convinced the return is the best season of TV I've ever seen
need to see inland empire now
