Mullholland Drive: Crap or CRAP!?!

Moodles it doesn't - so my only option was to try and manually jump to a specific timeframe in the DVD, once I accidentally restarted it. and i couldn't figure it out cos it was either a crap DVD player or I was a crap DVD user

last time i saw this was about 6 years ago in a soon-to-be collapsed log cabin and with the nuttering noises of nature about i realized the viewing experience wouldn't be topped. enjoyed watching a bear amble past the cabin the following morning while i brushed my teeth.

I just watched this for the first time a month ago. My first Lynch! Though kind of know his reputation. The movie mostly worked for me, certain moments like the audition scene in particular. Others, like the singer scene, I felt didn't connect but it seems one of those movies where everybody gets something different out of it

Just encountering Lynch! Jealous!

I probably watch this about once a month

No joke, I probably spent the better part of a month putting on Eraserhead just before I lay down to sleep. It was pretty great. I mean, I think it may have permanently ruined me as a functional human being, but would recommend.

the grandparents sneaking under the door, cackling, still terrify me

Ah fuck, I'd manage to forget this. No sleep for a week :(

Was watching that clip yesterday for the first time in god knows how long. Kevin Spacey all intoning "big fat guy - I mean like orca fat" and then it zooms in on the fat black woman's mugshot.

hard to imagine that a bryan singer movie starring kevin spacey could be problematic but here we are i guess

fwiw, per David R's Letterboxd account, he has upgraded this film to 9/10, calling himself "a dolt" for the opinion expressed in the first post.

I, otoh, initially thought this was just another dumb masterpiece but have come around to appreciating it as the quintessential lip-smackin' lesbian flick of our generation.

I hear your lips from here

that's not what I hear

said the Lynch fan to the oldlunchman

Where have you beeeeee-eeeen

I just this moment imagined an alternate world where Lynch refashioned a failed television pilot into a widely-acclaimed film only instead of Mulholland Drive it was On The Air.
