Lost Highway may be one of the greatest pieces of media that I have ever consumed in my life. This film is Lynch at his full potential, it’s dark gritty and surreal, with beautiful cinematography and a banger soundtrack, it has all the ingredients for an unbelievable ride.
The film opens on the long road and David Bowie’s I’m Deranged blasts as we take a dive down the lost highway, this intro is one of…
It’ll be just like in the movies! We’ll pretend to be someone else.”
Dreams can often be confusing, strange and suited to your desires and needs. This is the basis of Mulholland Drive, what we are seeing is a woman creating scenes and characters in her brain that represent feelings and emotions that she is going through in the real world. Whether it be guilt, lust, desires, jealousy or hope.
Like I said before, characters are made up by Diane…
God this trilogy absolutely sucks ass at this point, like there’s a point towards the end where all the main hero’s are standing together to take on the bad guys and I was thinking to myself like holy fuck I couldn’t give a shit about any of these characters and we’re two movies in basically. I have no idea why they didn’t focus on Ghost who actually had an interesting premise for a a villain instead they went for Sonny who is the most dull cookie cutter villain ever.
The best thing about this movie is the post credit scene and that’s just the facts.
Yeah wasn’t a huge fan of this tbh, can’t really decide on which version I prefer cause I think that there are things that I like about each of them so I kind of see them on the same level. The original I much prefer the songs and the magical feel but won’t be live action I like that there’s more substance to the love story and the story itself feels a little more cohesive.

Holy fucking shit this was probably the greatest cinema experience I’ve ever had. Seeing this in IMAX is an absolute must for this film. The whole screen is completely filled by the image and it just absolutely absorbs you into the world of Arrakis.
I absolutely love how Denis handled the sheer scale balance of this film, at times it is a giant universal war but switches into…
As much as this film has its flaws, it’s nowhere near a perfect film, it’s messy, over stuffed with characters, characters feeling out of pocket and not like they were in the previous two instalments and not great villains but I cannot deny how enjoyable and fun this film is.
Bully Maguire is one of the funniest and entertaining characters ever put to screen, the memes have obviously came a long way but have turned this film into a sort…
