What the pants was that?

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2003)

What??? More than 15000 votes yield 8.1 out of 10??? Ranked 131 of the best 250 films ever???
I am utterly shocked, loosing my faith in the IMDB audience.
Lets face it: this movie is entertainment. I have seen it with a bunch of friends, and as the film went on, we had good fun, couldn't help laughing at the worst ever seen acting. We kept on taking the p***. ("Next time you'd better bring a piece of paper to draw a flowchart. Then you might have a chance to understand something.") I have a feeling that we will remember this film for a long time, as the weirdest, strangest, most incomprehensible, in one word: worst movie.
Everybody here seems to admire this movie; hence, I am probably at the wrong party here. What was his name? David Lynch? He doesn't mean anything to me. However, I think that I am not hopelessly spoiled by average Hollywood flicks though. I have a strong feeling Lynch was inspired by French-Spanish movies of the 1960th (Luis Bunuel? Dali?). And yes, I enjoyed surreal movies that miss a plot, that are a series of non-linked scenes. But in contrast to Mulholland Dr, the scenes build a picture like a mosaic that one can understand. With all respect, Mulholland Dr is a pile of broken glass, worth nothing.
This all was supposed to be real stuff, but ABC turned it down? I would have loved to see it shredded rather than making a movie out of it.
One more question: How many magic mushrooms need to be in your soup until you appreciate this as art?
It is not precicely a B movie, but the attempt to be sophisticated failed. Sorry folks, can't give it more than one point.
