Mulholland II

worst idea ever.

atsonicpark 04.13.2010 05:09 AM

Well, it was originally going to be a television series anyway, so I could see how this would work.

Personally, I don't think it could be any worse than Inland Empire. I just wish he'd do something, y'know, DIFFERENT.. Inland, Mulholland, and Drive all felt like different versions of the same film.

Make It 3-d!!!

noisereductions 04.13.2010 07:09 AM

I have the TV Pilot.

atsonicpark 04.13.2010 07:12 AM

Me 2.

noisereductions 04.13.2010 07:34 AM

it's not much different from the first half of the film really. But it's neat anyway.

DanielCarlson 04.13.2010 10:27 AM

While I can't say that I like the idea, as long as Lynch writes/directs it I think it'll turn out okay. I don't think he'd do a sequel just for the sake of it if he hasn't got any good ideas. Which I guess he have, since he wanted it to be a TV series.

noisereductions 04.13.2010 10:29 AM

a while back (like maybe 7 or 8 yrs ago) there was some talk about him and Mark Snow doing a Twin Peaks prequel. That could have been amazing.

Are you kidding around? What is Mulholland and/or Drive? Sorry, I have a special place in my heart for post-9/11 film. And postmodernists.

jon boy 04.13.2010 08:11 PM

yes please and lynch 3d would be better than, well lets just say its really fucking good.

noisereductions 04.13.2010 08:12 PM

Inland Empire was really good. BUt yeah, he needs to do switch it up. Mulholland was already perfection...

automatic bzooty 04.13.2010 08:38 PM

I meant Highway.. (hah, even the titles are similiar!)

I've seen everything Lynch has done 500 times, I'm a pretty big fan of his, all his stuff lately has been extremely similar. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that all his latest films have followed the same pattern... double identities (or in Inland, um.. 5 or 6 identities), dream logic, non-sequential storytelling, plots that involve Hollywood and filmmaking in general (moreso the last two than in Highway). These are more than just "Themes", these are different versions of the same film. Strangely, one of his best movies, The Straight Story, none of his fans give a shit about!

Inland Empire, I've watched that one 6 times. I think it's actually sorta terrible, but it also sticks with me, and has intrigued me enough to keep watching it. But yeah, definitely his worst movie. I think Eraserhead, pretty obviously, is his best, though I also have a special place in my heart for Fire Walk With Me.

yeah! ... wait, i was gone?

anyway scratch that i think lynch is capable of a minimum of 6d

floatingslowly 04.13.2010 10:16 PM

my sis teaches science up that way. I'll ask her of she'd like another way to work.

GeneticKiss 04.13.2010 11:13 PM

David Lynch must need money..."Hmm, how to pay for that new BMW...I know, I'll make a sequel to my most successful movie since Blue Velvet!"

Seriously, where else is there to go? The main character and entire point of Mulholland Drive blew her brains out at the end. She's DEAD. And if the hitman she hired to kill her lover did the job right (which is debatable if he's really anything like how he was in her dream), she's dead too.

The only thing left really open is how the weird guy behind the Winkie's figured into the story, beyond being a part of the one guy's nightmare (a clue to the fact that it was a dream).

atsonicpark 04.13.2010 11:51 PM

Actually, his most successful movie since Blue Velvet was Straight Story, I think.

But I think it has to do with Mulholland recently being called the best film of the decade by tons of top critics (who hadn't seen many movies, I'm guessing).

davenotdead 04.14.2010 12:05 AM

whoa.... i'm kind of intrigued at the thought of seeing what david lynch can do with a sequel.

DanielCarlson 04.14.2010 10:42 AM

I think Mulholland Drive is his best movie, it's actually my favorite movie ever. The whole atmosphere of the movie, and the plot, and the acting, and everything - - - I simply love everything about it. I don't know how many times I've seen it, but I've seen it a lot of times.

But yeah, I agree with Atsonicpark that Highway, Mulholland and Inland in many ways are very similiar movies and that I'd like to see Lynch making something totally different. Anyway, I think Mulholland Drive is perfect as it is and I'd rather not see a sequel.

And yeah, The Straight Story is amazing.

Derek 04.14.2010 11:34 AM

I'm in the crowd that thinks Mulholland Drive is his best movie. Fucking masterpiece.

batreleaser 04.14.2010 12:05 PM

Inland Empire was scary.

Derek 04.14.2010 12:24 PM

I shit my pants when Laura Dern's character suddenly rushed up at the screen to see her face in bright light.

Oh and the ghost face near the end was creepy also.

Yes. Me too. I love Inland Empire, it's easily better than Lost Highway, which is really good but my least favorite of these multiple identities movies.

batreleaser 04.14.2010 01:54 PM

Inland Empire was just too long. I was watching it alone the first time and got too freaked and turned it off two hours in.

The next was with a girlfriend and she thought it was the worst thing ever. Definitely NOT a date movie. Didn't get laid that night. Shoulda put in something with George Clooney.

Derek 04.14.2010 03:26 PM

Haha I remember watching it with friends and they were bored shitless.

but please no more inland empires-- fucking snoozer.

i like laura dern but 3 more hours of her face with an open mouth in a non-porn situation i cannot take.

atsonicpark 04.14.2010 06:17 PM

^Yeah, what he said.

There's not much to Inland. A girl wandering around an empty set for most of the movie. It was compelling to me, as a Lynch fan, but secretly I know it's awful...

cagedbird 04.14.2010 09:25 PM

Notice how Lynch avoids consumers.

Great thread.

Lost Highway pretty much was a Blue Velvet remake.
