YOU know what has to be posted before an OOP Mosaic thread can die! Come on....do it!

Hardbopjazz, your location reads NY; am I incorrect in assuming this is New York? And you go to buy jazz at Borders and Tower??? Surely you must have some nice local independant music stores that respect jazz and are willing to maintain a decent inventory...what you are doing is like going to McDonalds and complaining that steak isn't on the menu!

I'm looking forward to the Cherry, but I'll pass on the others. I think I'm reaching the point where 'enough is enough' on Blue Note. Uh oh....are you allowed to say that here?

Nice rack!

Hmph. Greg would know...

The "crazy sequence behind the diner" is definitely a part that I don't get.

Well...I finally said screw it; I'll never catch up, and skipped to the recent posts a couple of days ago...

I'm with Peter. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know as much (by MILES!) about the scene as you guys, but Drake is mighty fine as far as I'm concerned.

Which reminds me...being a California resident who doesn't speak Spanish, that was Roy Orbison's Crying at the theater, wasn't it?

In a sense, yes; I had the DVD clues, most of which made no sense at first...but the first one did: 1. Pay particular attention in the beginning of the film: at least two clues are revealed before the credits. After reading that, the slow fall to the pillow just screamed "dream sequence approaching"! For those who don't have the DVD, here's the list... MULHOLLAND DRIVE David Lynch's 10 Clues to Unlocking This Thriller 1. Pay particular attention in the beginning of the film: at least two clues are revealed before the credits. 2. Notice appearances of the red lampshade. 3. Can you hear the title of the film that Adam Kesher is auditioning actresses for? Is it mentioned again? 4. An accident is a terrible event...notice the location of the accident. 5. Who gives a key, and why? 6. Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup. 7. What is felt, realized and gathered at the club Silencio? 8. Did talent alone help Camilla? 9. Note the occurances surrounding the man behind Winkies. 10. Where is Aunt Ruth?

I understand DEEP has already been banned...

Okay, I'm a convert! I tried the rub route on chicken this weekend and damn! Fantastic flavor!! And this was my first try with just some shit I threw together (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and salt); I can't wait until I know what I'm doing!

You know, that reminds me of one of my pet movie peeves. I'm just not into your basic action movies, with the sound cranked up to max and, as you say, the flashing lights inside the hellbox. I go to movies like (just to pull a favorite of the past few years out) In the Bedroom. So what previews do they show? Exactly the kind of shit I purposely avoid. So when the movie I want to see starts, blood is already pouring out of both ears and I can't hear a damned thing.

Damn it, Eric; stop hounding me!

Of course. Then I turn around and glare at the person behind me and snarl.

I dunno about that. I'm sure that is what the character Diane wants us to walk away with, with her over-the-top cornfed country girl portrayal of Betty in the dream, but I'm not so sure the seediness, and destructive tendencies of Hollywood, are portrayed here as exterior forces.

Well, I watched it only once (last night) and here's my take on it. I'll admit it didn't make much sense after watching it, but after sleeping on it and thinking it over today, it seems to be pretty straightforward. This probably means I'm completely off base, but before I check out these links, here goes my view... Very little happens in real time in the movie. All that really happens as the movie goes in real time is Diane goes to sleep, has a dream, wakes up, sees the blue key, and then kills herself. Thats it. Everything else is either the opening dream sequence (I say opening, but it was most of the movie, wasn't it?) or a flashback. Everything else after the dream other than her seeing the key and killing herself has to be a flashback or "walking dream", because all the characters who are met were in the dream in one guise or another. So everything up to her seeing the key on the table and her subsequent suicide had to have occurred prior to the dream. I'm not going to get into all the symbolism in the dream sequence, but it all seems pretty straightforward and sensible when looked at as the fantasy of a failed actress who both desperately misses her lover and at the same time despises that lover for the betrayal. Now, I'm not saying I get it all; the thing behind the dumpster doesn't seem to fit to me, and I'm sure I'm missing something with the old couple, but most of it seems to make sense. Now I'll check out those links and discover how offbase I am!

Nah, it's actually the same as the answer to the question, "why does the dog owner lick his balls?" Because he saw the dog do it, and figured even though the odds of success were highly unlikely, it wouldn't hurt anything to try...

I'm not much on that first one, but the second grabs me. (just making sure I get my five posts in for the next 5000....)

There's no demand; all the kids have moved on to Bahms...

Isn't she Davey Jones' father?

I finally picked up the DVD of the movie today and thought I'd review this thread before watching. But maybe I'll just watch Twin Peaks instead...
