As Tim Gunn says, always use your 'editing eye.' Critical to all good design. --I avoided the fan edits, but was eager to see Lynch's extended cut. You were right on target with the addition to the whole. But I enjoyed all of it. The Slow Club experience was mostly left out of the theatrical cut. But was so Lynch. Opening with the dog eating from his bowl, to the chicken and egg performance... cinematic treasure. Thanks again for the heads up.

    that's Lynch magic for ya - film proper or a deleted scene - hits like a motherfucker. I for one prefer the pilot version of Mulholland Drive because it literally goes nowhere but just keeps on piling on world establishing to an absurd degree - jenga style. Inland Empire later fully implement this approach within finite storytelling and it is absolutely majestic.

    Agreed. I would be interested in seeing the pilot of Mulholland Drive as well, will give a search.

    Edit: It IS a pilot. Didn't realize it was originally intended as a television series.

    there is a pilot version of the movie and it is somewhat different because it establishes things to come but resolves absolutely nothing - the movie version took the most complete narrative strands and tied them up while dropping or non sequitiring the rest in-between. The pilot version just keeps on building and building and building and then it's over and it's just this massive overwhelming mystery thing that will never come to resolution.
