Now watch Mulholland Drive!

Mulholland Drive is good but the David Lynch is still a pretty overrated director. He's not half as weird or interesting as people make him. Plus he often resorts to straight up cheese.

You stopped watching Inland Empire because it was too weird for you, but he's not weird. K then.

I've watched all his other movies except Dune, plus all of Twin Peaks season one and half of season 2. Inland Empire had Lynch ism's all over it and it moves at a crawl at best. I'm not treating it like a precious treasure just because it's Lynch, so I turned it off like I would with any other movie that bores me for 40 minutes straight.

is this a serious commentary about how sex and violence is used in mass media to "open us up" to suggestion?

or is Lynch having a bit of fun with a surreal visual depiction of these ideas about how mass media influences us

not knowing anything about Lynch or film in general I wouldn't be able to contextualize it, additionally it's difficult to divorce oneself from viewing the movie as someone living in 2018 where violence and sex in media is well worked politicized ground vs. the early 80's
It's a David Cronenberg movie. Not a Lynch movie.

Doesn't mean that it's not weird.

"Wah boring" = the laziest criticism you can levy at something btw. It doesn't really tell you anything about the film.

Don't worry, I edited my post so everyone would know you made a mistake.

The rabbit sitcom with canned laughs and no jokes would qualify as weird by most standards for sure.

Well I'm not going to attempt to say anything more in-depth about a movie that I didn't even get halfway through. Nothing happening for those ~40 minutes interested me in the slightest, so I never got to a point where I could have anything to say about it.

I was looking at the timer, considering what else I could be doing before I had to got to bed, any the movie got the knife. It happens.
