This was my first time viewing "Mulholland Drive". I'm bothered. Am I not bright enough to "get" it? Was it trying to call me stupid? What did I miss?

Dreams, dreams, dreams. Another film about a dream. Or a dream within a dream. I'm sick of movies with dreams. "Inception" made me angry because I didn't like it yet felt like I had to rate it highly because everyone else praised it. I didn't want to come away looking like a movie mouth-breather. Now along comes this. Not again.

The way "Mulholland Drive" unfolds makes little sense to me, but Hey...I liked it! So I'm not going to try and figure out its secret meaning, if there even is one. I'm not remotely interested in trying to dissect it.

I'm pretty sure that "Mulholland Drive" is pointless. I want to know more about Betty and Rita, but not really. That might take away the mystery of their strange, fascinating relationship.

Would most people hate this? I'm happy that I endured this film without it being a chore. I want to know that people who bought tickets to watch "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" or "Grown Ups 2" at the mall theater thought this was a Lifetime Channel movie about two girlfriends and then turned it off before it finished. That way I can be certain that I'm cooler than those people. Those people who just don't "get" it.

"Mulholland Drive" is the kind of movie that can legitimize me as a film snob if I can just prove to others that I understood what the Hell it was about. But I can't. So, I'm one of THEM. That, and I kind of liked "Gods of Egypt". I'm doomed.
