River ,'War Stories'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I liked Lost Highway more than Mulholland Drive. But I have no good reason for that.
Lost Highway was....awesomer, somehow. I think Mulholland Drive may ultimately hold together better, but I didn't leave the theatre quite as high on Lynchy goodness.
(I also own the box set of Dune, but that one doesn't really count.)
Woo, I'm the opposite from y'all on Lost Highway. I hated it.
But that is why I'm completely owned by three guys named Dave right now...nobody writes like HBO's Daves. They are all the man.
You can say that again. Like my new tagline?
I really liked the first half of Lost Highway, which was about the creepiest thing I'd ever seen. Then it just got over the top silly and lost me.
Mulholland Drive seemed sillier than Lost Highway when I watched it, but held together in my head better afterwards.
But I liked Fire Walk With Me, so there's that.
So did I, but I might have been drunk at the time.
Fire Walk With Me
I think I might have been OK with Fire Walk With Me except for
a) the wrong Donna
and
b) Even then I was a big ole shipper, so mostly I just wanted to watch 'The Love Story of Audrey Horne and her Special Agent'.

Heh, me too (and Lost Highway and Mullholland Drive - pretty much all Lynch). It must have been quite a shock for people who were fans of the show but had never seen a real David Lynch movie. Not only are they not getting any resolution to the series, they are gotting a lot of really, seriously weird/disturbing stuff instead.

Jessica speaks for me here.
I think Lynch remains the only filmmaker I consider substantial where I've seen all of their movies in the theater (the Coen brothers just lost that distinction with LADYKILLERS, which I still haven't seen), and the only one I saw out of its original release was ERASERHEAD (though I DID see it at midnight and well before DUNE was out).
Can't place the tag, bunk. I suck this morning. Queen of the Dunkers, c'est moi. But you didn't come here to hunt, did you?

Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. Mulholland Drive comes dangerously close to making sense, and that's really not what I want from Lynch.

...Sorry.
I saw Fire Walk With Me with my friend Cheryl in college. The theater was all decked out with a black & white floor and red curtains, which really set us up to be creeped out. And then on the way home we made a wrong turn and came to an intersection next to campus that I'd never noticed before, where the crosstreets were Laura and Cooper. At which point Cheryl and I looked at each other and were like "I think we should go somewhere very public now, and talk about things that are very silly and fun for a while, until the effect of that movie has worn off."
Can't place the tag, bunk.

I loved Fire Walk With Me, and I saw it before I ever actually saw any of the series.
