Mulholland Dr - to call this film "weird for the sake of being wierd" is either reductive or complimentary. In this context, I'd say it's a lazy explanation for a film which, quite normally, went over the viewer's head. It's Lynch, in his ever-evocative way, exploring his themes of memory, consciousness and cinematic narrative--that would be in terms of spatial and temporal--much like he did in Lost Highway (1997).

I too find Basinger's performance in LA Confidential nothing if not ordinary. Crowe and Spacey stand out, in an excellent film.
