I kinda agree with you Nick.
I'm a big David Lynch fan. I loved Twin Peaks (series) and the two movies, especially
"Fire walk with me" and "Blue Velvet". All good.
However Mullholland Drive
Typical Lynch wierdisms - deformed people, backwards talking, mysterious characters and messages and references to other dimensions (that odd box & the way people seemed to be trapped by it).
But like you say there didn't appear to be a point. Infact at the end the girl who started out er well appeared to be someone completely different?? I think.
Well anyway after I watched I thought:
"Well that was odd, but hey I've just drunk a bottle of wine, eaten a load of pistachios so really I feel great!"
Not one for the cinema however.

P.S. Thing is my worst nightmare is actually very similar: nothing ever makes sense in it and I'm trapped in a loop going round in circles
