So, years ago, right after I started watching Alias, I watched Mulholland Drive. I watched it because Melissa George was in it, and also Justin Theroux, both of whom I really, really liked.

I didn't get it, but that was okay. No one gets it. There are entire websites trying to analyze it. But while watching it, I was like, LOL, I don't get it, but it's well done!

Well. I'm watching it on TV, and there was just this scene where a bunch of studio dudes, including Cher's father from Clueless, tell Justin Theroux he needs to put Melissa George in his movie. And all I could think of was Kirk's movie in black and white, with the weird editing and intense closeups, because THAT IS WHAT THIS MOVIE IS LIKE. KIRK MADE MULHOLLAND DRIVE.

Oh Mulholland Drive. A lot of it's disjointed because it was actually supposed to originally be the pilot for a new TV series. But when Lynch didn't get the green light, he movie'd it instead.

And we spent HOURS dissecting that film in class. Our professor was a huge Lynch fan.

I had read that, but it still doesn't understand the disjointed feeling in the same scene. Like, it was disjointed all over the place, but in several scenes it was just... bizarre.

THERE ARE APPARENTLY CLUES THROUGHOUT IT. Whatever, it is insane.

I could write an essay on that film.


OH WAIT, I HAVE. >:-(
