MORBS SEZ: "Mulholland Dr is Lynch's best work, and maybe the best feature film made by an American in the '00s."i don't want mulholland dr (is there a morbsy alt title for it? i hope so. try to work in fact it is based on a tv pilot ep maybe) to even get in the top 100

This may be neither here nor there, but the truly terrifying Mulholland Dr. scene in my estimation is when Betty sees her body through the window and the score swells in an almost nauseating way that really expressively reflects the extreme disassociation she must be feeling at that moment. Just listening to the soundtrack, the dread I feel in waiting for that swell is palpable. Winkie's is a nice shock, but it's just about as telegraphed as a movie shock could be.

Lynch is a master of making the banal totally horrifying. he can make a dim lamp in a room seem like the most terrifying environment ever.

Mulholland is a TV pilot with an "it was all a dream" tack-on finish.

Mulholland Drive would have been an amazing opportunity to explore the ideas of Lost Highway in more depth over the course of a series, had it been commissioned. As it was, i think it just ended up being a really great opening episode with a lazy coda tacked on to the end to make it releasable that did nothing to advance what he's already said before.

mulholland drive is just a grown-up version of donnie darko

That version of "Crying", though, was certainly a memorable moment (if you can separate it from the rest of the god-awful movie).

I don't think that Mulholland Drive was aimed at people who know so much about Limp Bizkit.

it's mulholland dr. that made me start thinking of lynch as not just a guy who makes weird and sometimes scary movies, but as a full-on "horror filmmaker".

forgetting about the Jesus-y manger in CofM vs forgetting the lezzing up in Mulholland Drive

"Tuomas it's like you didn't see Mulholland Drive at all."
I'm not sure he saw Lost Highway (there are tons of boobs in that movie!!!)

Yeah, but not a lesbian sex scene.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, October 20, 2009 2:45 PM
You didn't specify more lesbian boobs.
