Originally posted by Capo de La Cosa Nostra: 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 was being sarcastic in my assessment of Mulholland Dr. I read a post on the imdb.com message board's and it's one person take on the film. If it's factual than it makes more sense in a way.

Glad to see I'm not the only person who thinks so. Pearce and Crowe stood out to me the most. I'm starting to become a much bigger fan of Russel Crowe's
PS - Thanks for the data Mista. If anything, I might have gone with Julianne Moore in Boogie Nights
