I saw a terrible one a few weeks ago and it was so bad that I can't even the title to warn you not to waste any precious time watching it.

I avoid these kinds of movies like the plague. I guess I'm successful enough because I can't think of any right now.

WTF ? Mulholland Dr. is a masterpiece, Lynch is one of the greatest directors ever.

atsonicpark · 08.30.2009, 05:19 PM

Most films.

Also, Mulholland Drive is easily in the top 10 best films ever.

I think MD is a good movie (or it could have been), but the actors are SO bad, I can't watch it again.
They would fit in The Young and the Restless.

Huh.

Just curious, have you seen any of Lynch's other films? He has them act that way in most of his films... probably to accentuate the more surreal qualities of the film.

Yes: Eraserhead, Elephant Man, and Dune.
I did enjoy EM and Dune.
But the actors in these movies are good to me (especially Kyle McLachlan), it's not the question whether they're superstar or not.

terriblecanyons · 08.30.2009, 06:25 PM

Let's see. Broken Flowers. Though I kind of liked the ending, I was really disappointed.

Also, Black Dahlia. Fuck that movie.

demonrail666 · 08.30.2009, 06:25 PM

the bit in mullholand dr with the woman singing 'crying' is one of the most brilliant things i've seen in a film

DeadDiscoDildo · 08.30.2009, 06:33 PM

That new sci fi remake, I forget, was it the day the earth stood still? Keanu Reeves was in it. Saw it with my folks. I figured it would be shit, and then, it got so shitty I thought this has to be a joke, and then it got even shittier...
