Let's call Wild at Heart totally normal, and Inland Empire totally off the wall. Where Dune fits in all of this..., I'd prefer not to think about.

 Whaaat? Waat dooes theeez meean? Eez theez Dhaveed Leeench?

It's not about making sense; it's about relfecting yourself in 'art', finding your own feelings about the world in the work, and gaining some meaning and significance.

yup, acknowledged, still standing by it

 I watched the 60s 25-minute film of this a few days ago. It was appropriated as a Twilight Zone episode but it's not (though they felt the need to insert a faux-profound voiceover epilogue).

It was good, though obviously a little less jazzed up than Lynch's interpretations...

  I had that exact thought watching BV last week, myself! It has never occurred to me before.

And then I started seeing all the Mulholland Dr. motifs popping up (was going to start a thread about it, actually) and wondered if Jeffrey and Betty, junior detectives, were cousins or something (Deep River, Ontario / Deep River Apartments.) Mr. Beaumont-- which sounds French Canadian-- could be the dirty uncle people talk about in MD.

Back to topic, this kind of recycling that connects all Lynch's major works (as in David Lynch Decoded) increases the viewing pleasure of the others.  Even Inland Empire.  I hope he's not done.

I also thought it was funny that when both Rita and Jeffrey break into someone's house, they end up getting laid.

Cooped- not making sense isn't a bad thing. It's just that the mongoloids in TV Land hold his films up as examples of things that don't make sense. Don't get it. p.s. I like how you typed in dialect when you were drunk posting.

I think the Lost Highway- style role-reversal combined with some Blue Velvet-ish elements contributed to the massive success of Mulholland Dr. People like familiarity.

ok i'm finally going to break down and ask what cinematography is

it's weird you think that booth, i feel like blue velvet has zero mood, especially when compared with moodfests like eraserhead and lost highway

But it has oodles of mood when compared to a snoozefest like Mulholland Dr.

Cinematography is everything that goes into shooting a movie, film stock, lighting, lenses, and the actual photography.

Well, to be fair, the pilot had a couple months to shoot and the first season was only seven episodes. Season Two was a full 22 episodes. When you've got eight days to shoot sixty pages times 22 (not to mention the two-hour season premiere), your model better be lean and get set. Even a show as cinematic as 24 has to get settled with a rote method of doing things just to come in on time.
