It's a rather long read but here you go.Mulholland Dr explained (one theory at least). Personally I liked the movie. It confused the f88k outta me and I couldn't go to sleep 'cause I kept thinking, "if I stay awake a little longer I'll be able to figure it out."

Maybe you should watch it again. Like 4 or 5 times, frankly. It's not a cookie-cutter film, that much is evident.

Heres a better review Mulholland Drive is an awful movie. If you liked it you are an assshole and a moron. You are a moron because no matter how many times I ask you, there is no way you can tell me what the fuscking movie was about. You're an assshole for going along with the pseudo-intellectual crowd and liking a movie that doesn't make any fucsking sense at all. It reminds me of when I had to defend my senior thesis on Husserel's transcendental phenomenology and inter-subjectivity. I barely understood the shiit, and I had spent six months studying it. Every other asshole in my class sat there nodding their collective heads as if they had a clue what I was talking about. No one wanted to appear dumb. This is why I get so infuriated when people tell me they actually liked Mulholland Drive. The emperor is wearing no fuscking clothes, folks. I'll cede a couple of points. The movie was very well acted. Lynch is a very good director and seems to be able to get his actors to emote anything. The lesbian scene was super smoking hot. In fact, the first time I saw Mulholland Drive was at the Lakeside Cinema in Oakland where you get to sit on couches and drink beer and eat pizza. Anyhow, when the lesbian scene happened, I noticed that every guy, myself included, crossed his legs. I don't even like lesbian scenes all that much. In addition, the film looked good and the mood was dark and, well, Lynchy. But who fucsking cares? Tell me a story, please. Look, I'm all for art. I used to own part of a gallery for Christ's sake. But have you ever noticed how art films tend to suck ass? Andy Wharhol made a movie where a snail crawls along a razor blade for three hours. Mulholland Drive is no different. As I tend to say, without a decent script, you ain't got shiit. In the case of Mulholland Drive, you ain't got nothing but shiit. I was talking with Jaquay about how retarded Lynch has gone. Jaquay had this to say: the difference between lost highway and mulholland drive is that mulholland drive was good for a while. that's what made the ending so bad. if he had thrown that ending onto lost highway, it wouldn't have changed a thing because that movie sucked from the very first frame. Mulholland drive had potential, but just when you started to care, lynch punched you in the groin. i'm not even sure that i was still paying attention when lost highway ended. Exactly Jaquay, exactly. To summarize, Mulholland drive is like meeting a beautiful woman who is crazy. Physically she is so gorgeous that you overlook all of her obvious faults which keep multiplying as the night goes on. When the night is finally over, you realize exactly how much you hate her. But you are afraid to admit this to your friends, because you are afraid of what they'll say. I say, come one, don't be a pusssy. Hate Mulholland Drive like a man. Oh, and Erich "accidently" wore a bandana to my party like Cardinal Mahoney "accidently" transferred all those boy-raping priests to other parishes. "Originally posted by: LethalWolfe

That's a lot of reading... I didn't bother reading everything.
From what I remember:
Everything is a dream... Well, not everything, but about 5/7 of the movie. Rita and Betty are just characters in Diane's dream. Diane is Betty and Camilla is Rita.
In real life Diane hired somebody to kill Camilla because Camilla decided to stop her relationship with Betty and started a relationship with the film director.
The dream represents everything that's not happening in real life. In the dream, Rita and Betty are a couple whereas in real life, Camilla dumped Diane. In the dream, the film director has bad things happening to him over and over, and this is just a representation of Diane's hatred toward him for stealing Camilla from her.
When Rita and Betty are watching the show, that's showing that both of them realized that everything that's happening is not real and is about to end and that's why they're crying
The man behind the diner is the representation of evil or something, and that anyone who comes across its path will meet death. I'm not too sure about this, though.
Everything that happens after Rita opens the box after the show is the real life, and the key that's on Diane's table is the killer's way of telling Diance that he already killed Camilla...
I hope this helps.... if not.... I guess you should read the link provided by LethalWolfe

A movie that is open ended and ambiguous isnt a bad thing. Creating a work that allows the audience to create their own interpretation is a tough thing to do well. Lynch has done it with Mulholland Dr.
Now if a movie like that isnt your cup of tea, you are in luck. Most movies that come out these days hammer you over the head for 2 hours, leaving nothing to interpretation or inner thought.

I have no problem with film with an open ended interpretation, Lawrenece of Arabia is like this and so is Pulp Fiction. However these actually had a good story to tell and interpretations wer'nt manditory to enjoy the film. MD does'nt do this. The whole goal of the film is to mind fusk you and leave it to you and your freinds to fight over what the thing was about. It has no story as far as I'm concerned.
I agree with you about most movies. 99% of the sh1t out sucks.
It was an interesting movie that could have been better than it was. I don't dig confusing for the sake of confusing that much.
I love movies that mess up your head. It's fun to try to figure out what's going on sometimes. Makes me feel like a detective
I really do think Mulholland Drive has quite the story though. It's more of a mood movie. You have to be in a certain state of mind to want to watch it.

LoL I just saw this a few hours ago and I really enjoyed it. Its a rollercoaster of a film, hella stylistic and extremely tense at points. After reading through some more information on the film I've got a pretty fair grasp of what was going on. Overall though I just liked the film, it was entertaining and just overall very well done.

If any other director would have made that movie, it'd be panned for the POS incoherent mess that it was. Bad acting, bad script, totally nonsensical. But because it's David Lynch, everyone goes around calling it a masterpiece.
