    The scenes with the assassin, the one with the cowboy, and Naomi Watts auditioning were good, too.

    The problem is that the movie is just a bunch of ideas without a cohesive story. People will look for deeper meaning, but I don't think there is any.
    Lynch has often come out and said there isn't. Same with Lost Highway.

    One thing important to consider when watching Mullholland Drive is that it started as an idea for another series. It's not directly taken from a pilot script, or anything, but a lot of the disjointed scenes and characters (the whole scene in the office building with the vacuum that gets shot, for instance) are remnants of ideas that would have been meant for longer, slower development. None of which particularly excuses their presence, but at least somewhat explains it.

    In any case, it's one of those movies that I like despite thinking the complaints are more than justified. The inclusion of all the disparate moments doesn't bother me as much in Mullholland Drive as it does in Inland Empire, for instance, which I thought was a way-too-long mess with a few interesting scenes and performances sprinkled throughout.

    I liked the cowboy scene and the singing audition ("This is the girl") scene, I couldn't stand the Watts audition scene. Probably my least favorite part of the movie tbh

    exactly

    I just gave up on trying to force myself to like it

    "You have been supplied with a false idol to stop you from tearing down this corrupt city. Let me tell you the truth about Harvey Dent from the words of Gotham's police commissioner, James Gordon. 'The Batman didn't murder Harvey Dent, he saved my boy then took the blame for Harvey's appalling crimes so that I could, to my shame, build a lie around this fallen idol. I praised the mad man who tried to murder my own child but I can no longer live with my lie. It is time to trust the people of Gotham with the truth and it is time for me to resign.' And do you accept this man's resignation? Do you accept the resignation of all these liars? Of all the corrupt?"

    Speaking of David Lynch, he was good on the last two episodes of Louie.

    Hope you say it in your best Sean Connery/Scooby-Doo voice.

    The more you dissect Bane's character, the more you realize how ty he was written.

    He wants to free all the prisoners? Isnt that exactly the opposite what the League of Shadows was all about?

    He wants to destroy Batman for betraying the league of shadows, yet the league of shadows kicked Bane out for......saving the daughter of the head of the league of shadows?

    How ing terrible is that movie?

    Please, take your obsessive hatred for Nolan elsewhere.

    At this point I assume you're trolling. It's obvious you actually feel this way but taking it to a thread with only 2 posts out of 30 referencing Nolan/Batman seems like joke. So which is it, a troll job or the insufferable dried up rants of a neck bearded got who's pouty because he doesn't enjoy a revered trilogy?

    I laughed in the theater when Bane said "he saved my boy". Maybe I'm easily amused or weird but his voice cracked me up.
