Tired of this pretentious bull@#$%.....

Rating: 1/10 (27 November 2006)

Great from a photography and directing point of view, as well as the acting, but other than those things what a pointless pretentious piece of crap. I feel insulted every time I spend time and money watching a movie like this. The story leads nowhere, unless you watch it over and over so you can pick up the "clues" the director left to help you decipher the story. It makes me wonder if maybe the director is sitting somewhere laughing at the critics and all of the other Hollywood parasites running around discussing the profound meaning of this quote or that scene.
Okay I get it...she was in love with this girl and she is betrayed so she has her killed and feels guilty and shoots herself and imagines a whole new life ala "life flashing before your eyes, don't go into the light" blah blah blah....
I think that he best clue is the scene in that theater with the guy saying there is no orchestra, and telling us it's all just a recording. Kind of like this movie. No depth or meaning, just the illusion of one or the other. Now maybe some would tell me, "Well there you go, there is your depth, you found meaning in this movie", but I already try my best to avoid this kind of mind-numbing crap/art, so I definitely don't need a reminder. As far as practical jokes go though, good one Lynch. You got me. HAHA.
(P.S. Oh NO! I just became critic.....I hope nobody offers me money to do this, because I might be forced to become the very kind of low-life parasite I loathe so much.)
