that song is one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard.

yeah... uh... when any of you figure out why the old man and the old lady were really small and came out of that paper bag...
... and why that lesbian scene didn't last longer...
.... AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - AND I MEAN THIS!!!! I WANT THAT SONG THAT AMAZING LATINA SANG then proceeded to die after...
... so beautifully sung - absolutely amazing rendition of Roy Orbinson's Crying: http://www.rebekahdelrio.com/aud…
even more about the song here: http://www.rebekahdelrio.com/llo…
... oh man.... I'm going to blast this song now. btw - the mp3 i just posted is from rebekah delrio's site (she's the singer in the film - played herself too for anyone that cares :) )...
... and yeah - lynch... RAD STUFF... although - I was a little bummed out that Laura Palmer was killed by her Dad.... but then again - that DOES make SENSE.... but... BUT... I think that's why I don't like the fact that he's the killer... cuz Lynch isn't supposed to make sense?
oy vei... *bong sound...

the wonderful thing about this movie is that is shows both sides of the same coin.

(Oct 27 05, 18:02)Agreed. When I first saw it, I was really wondering about if the character of Betty is how Americans think Canadians are like, specifically from Ontario (like myself). I'm sure there's some truth to it (ie. Betty being extra polite and happy, vs. Rita, who was more subdued and had obviously seen different things, even though she had amnesia: sort of like Canadians vs. Americans), but the concept was just exaggerated.
Thanks, Brian. I'll definitely share it with you.
The only disappointing thing about it was the DVD features, haha. But it's probably b/c David Lynch wants us to come up with our own theories.

that's a cool concept, jaline. perhaps you should pen a story along those lines.
if you do, share it with me.

the one side, so shiny and (too) perfect and exactly like we SO BADLY want everthing to be.
the other, so dirty and neglected. exactly how things really are.

sorry for bumping this thread, but I had a question.
In the scene where Diane/Betty is on top of Camilla/Rita (they are both topless and about to make love, to jog your memory), did anyone else think that (after Rita says 'We should stop doing this') that the entire film was just them trying to fall in love with each other again. And this is what they do all the time, to keep their romance going. I know many couples do it, so I thought maybe that's what they were doing throughout the film. Like they would pretend like their didn't know each other, and then try and get with each again. It's a form of escapism, which Diane was really into.
Until I saw that Diane was actually just in a state of dreaming/hallucination. My theory didn't make sense after. I realized that everyone else in the film would've had to have been in on the entire adventure too, which seemed unlikely.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if I was crazy or not.

yeah, that's one of his trademarks.

Haha, yea, that scene selection thing is sort of trippy.
Makes one wonder that a Special Edition should be in the works...

I remember when i first got the DVD and I wanted to make a point to my wife about some detail after the movie was over and BAM - he makes you watch it over from the beginning. No scene selection - Brilliant!

watch it twice and you should be able to understand it, simple.

Great score by Angelo Badalamenti. Some cool time changes/stretches during the unraveling near the end at Adam Kesher's party.

There should be a movie called, "Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd."

isnt 'Mulholland Drive' like one of the most common street names in the states or something.
i.e : this could happen anywhere kinda thing?
- Jaline0
hahaha, I love when people say that this film is easy to understand. It's not, at least for the majority of people. And I won't even begin to note all the simple films people don't understand. So how would they comprehend something like this? They wouldn't, unless they see it 50 times.

Lost Highway was sweet with the whole time travel thing - there are a couple scenes in the movie where if one way of thinking was true than a certain scene was impossible - but if another way of thinking was invoked than a different scene was impossible and so forth. I pay good money to have my melon tweeked.

I remember my one friend seeing this movie for the first time and was completely floored and had no idea whatsoever what anything had to do.
She brought it up in a conversation and my response of, "Oh come on, that movie wasn't that hard to grasp you dolt", was a little harsh.
Especially since at the time I had Mulholland Drive confused with Arlington Road.
Waaaaah waaaaaah.

The pronunciation of 'mulholland' is weird, at least for me. Kind of just rolls off the tongue, according to the characters in the film, anyway. Awesome street name.
