In Reply to: Mulholland Drive- love it or hate it? posted by tunenut on October 16, 2001 at 10:43:06:
I really enjoyed the ride that was called Mulholland Drive...it spured great debate in my home afterwards, only Lynch know what was what in the film (maybe). Ya know he orignaly pitched that as a TV series...sorta made Twin Peaks seem cogent.I stood strong on my postition that the "mafia" types we metaphors for the devil in that the Director sold his sole..as well as a "Camilla" of the day (read as "flavor of the day"). Camilla's camillion nature was a metaphor for all the aspiring,naive young people that move here, that will do "anything" for sucess. I mean look at like this, the director's success was conditioned upon selecting Camilla...Camilla's sucess was conditioned on being selected..you had very strange types see to it that those conditions where met...and to collect if not...
How awsome was it to see Billy Ray as the pool man! lol!!

Not only was this pitched as a TV series--Disney and ABC funded the original 7.5 million dollar pilot. I can imagine the horror on the execs faces when Lynch handed them Mullholland Drive!This was over two years ago! Then, about a year ago Studio Canal put up another couple of million to shoot additional scenes and turn the project into a feature film.
I think it's the best film of the year so far.
