How did you even manage to follow the story?

Visually, atmospherically it is a masterpiece. I generally dig noir aesthetic.
But I'm going to trust my memory, flawed & selective as it may be...the remaining sentiment of a movie not being saved by hot les action burns too bright to have faded...yet

Not even the scene with hot lesbian action could make me sit through that trash again

I would think the short-term memory loss of being very stoned would negate any film student stat boosts to wisdom, intellect. Wouldn't the hits to attention, hunger & vitality all be too draining when coupled with a convoluted, monotonous story like MD?
Ever tried dungeon crawling through a roleplaying game blind, while very stoned? Esp with random encounters...how often did you inadvertently double-back?

W/e. I like plenty of terrible movies. But if yall Mulholland Drive fans tell me you prefer Waking Life to Slacker....

I mean that's just silly. But I think Lynch's plots are generally more impressionistic than anything, so they're not really something that has to be followed, per say (and you'll note film student is in italics because it's the opposite of a boast toward wisdom ).

Fun interview with him on the movie, even if you don't like it:

Oedipus Rex

i saw angel heart recently. it was okay. a decent 7/10, great feels but lacking in story and wrap-up.

yeah i saw it when it came out, i was maybe 19 at the time? Lisa Bonet Not positive but maybe she got fired from the Cosby Show because of that movie??

I think Mulholland drive is fucking fantastic—I think it's one of his better films in terms of the more recent end of the spectrum. Lost Highway's much easier to pick on... but I still love that one too.

Eyes Wide Shut and Memento are pretty easy to follow, though.

Chronicle kinda.

I love Mulholland Drive, but man, the constant mentioning of the lezbo scene, jesus was that the only thing anyone paid any attention to? don't you guys ever get laid?

See I don't even remember that. I just remember trying to figure out what was in the box.
