'Mulholland Drive'

Mulholland Drive was originally drafted and pitched as a TV series and a pilot was ordered. David Lynch picked Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Herring (very hot) based on their photographs.

A pilot was made, but TV execs balked at the idea and never called for any real work. The actresses were considered too old and the show too meandering and without focus. I would suggest that that was the whole point. Lynch then expanded the story and turned it into a feature film. Where it was long, meandering and without focus.

But that's Lynch. You don't expect him to made some picture-perfect sitcom like "Leave It To Beaver."

Thankfully with the expansion, the lesbian scene between Watts and Herring was added. I will admit this, although Herring is very foxy, Watts is almost perfect. She is absolutely gorgeous beyond reproach.

Certainly there should be talk about what happened in the film. Or what didn't help. It's a calvalcade of twists and the influence of some alternate reality. Or there is no reality. David Lynch apparently gave a bunch clues in a certain DVD set. Frankly, if you have to give clues, I would argue that it's not worth tipping your hand. It's the mysterious that makes it classic.
