Is it more disturbing to make movies like this or watch them?

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2002)

I can't say enough bad things about this movie, so I won't even try. I can, however, say one really good thing. Rebekah Del Rio's version of Roy Orbison's "Crying" (Llorando) in the mysterious theatre, Silencio, is mesmerizing. Don't watch the movie; just go buy the soundtrack.

David Lynch is at it again. The problem is that nobody has ever understood what `it' is to David Lynch. Several scenes in this movie were actually shot for a TV series, but apparently nobody had the guts to commit to another TV show with Lynch. Those shots were mixed with new shots and hence the disconcerting `Mulholland Drive' was born. That's why the movie doesn't make any sense. And, let me go ahead and respond to the many that will come after me saying, `It's not supposed to make any sense, you just aren't sophisticated enough to get it.' Guess what? You don't have to be sophisticated to like this movie. You merely have to be like sheep that are led to the slaughter. In order to feel superior you buy the Hollywood/liberal version of what it means to be sophisticated. I, on the other hand, decide for myself what I like and don't like and why.
