I want my 2.5 hours back!
29 June 2002
Mulholland Dr. is the worst movie made in 2001. There were a lot of really bad ones, but this tops them all, every single piece of garbage made that year. Everyone is saying this is art, it's a dreamlike masterpiece. I bet it doesn't make any sense because Lynch is just plain dumb. To start off, I want to say the acting is rock bottom, the plot, obviously non-exsistent, the cinematography uninspired, and seemingly good, but just ordinary work I've seen before that has been used better, not just because Lynch wants the film to look as weird as it can. Oh yeah, did I mention Lynch needs some direction courses?? People say this is reminiscent of Memento, in that it is confusing.....Memento used an original interesting plot device to get the viewer more interested to and to tell the story the best way it could. This is confusing just for the sake of being confusing. because there are a lot of people who see confusing things, and just say they like them. This isn't art, it's jumbled images thrown together for the sake of confusing you, with no reason. You want weird? Coen brothers do weird good. For example, this film leaves it up to the viewer to guess waht happens and doesn't, but not intentionally. It's just a scrambled mess of random images, most of which I laughed at they were so bad. Barton Fink uses a similar device. It leaves it all up to you what happened and doesn't, but it is for a reason, it is to move the story and to tell it well...

The humour was bad, the technical aspects useless and unoriginal, as well as imitating work better done, the acting atrocious, the story...ugh, what story........all this movie offers is those very bad qualities, and 2.5 hours of throwing in the most ridiculous things just for the sake of being ridiculous, because Lynch is dried up....not that he ever had any talent.....grrrrrr!!! I'm so angry while writing this that all my good and valid points sound stupid....but this movie is bad in every way possible, if you like it, you're either an idiot, or you're just saying that because, after all it's a masterpiece (HAHAHA)
