It’s scrambled, but it makes perfect sense once you’ve pieced it back together. His films don’t “mean” anything in the literal sense, but they make some pretty cool speculations about what actually qualifies as the cinematic reality the audience is watching. The newest season of Twin Peaks takes the same idea and runs with it to the absurd. I still have a soft spot for him, just for having enough status and relevance to be able to do whatever surrealist-Kubrick-10-minutes-inside-a-nuclear-explosion shit he wants on network television

Tarkovsky is a hack. If you want a good Russian director watch Aleksey German. You are a pretentious faggot.

While I agree with you that Lynch is the dumb mans art movie hero you’re also unbearably up your own ass. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying Lynch and the only reason you’re would shit on his viewers so hard is to try and alleviate your own inferiority complex. It’s so obvious. I mean fuck, you always complain about capitalism yet can’t understans a lot of people have jobs with long hours and children and don’t have time to cultivate their tastes in art. It’s so classist really and a broader problem of people on The Left ( which I consider myself a part of ) so maybe that’s why nobody gives a fuck about what you think you piece of shit. Get cancer.

A lot of these directors' top films are usually very close to imdb top 250, rarely they seem original. It's because they grew up seeing these films at the theater when they were kids and that would leave much bigger of an impact on you that watching a movie on your laptop in 2019. German isn't worse than Tarkovsky or Fellini imo, I'm sure his opinions are based on what really stuck with him and made him want to make films in the first place.

Mulholland Drive confirms my intuition that Lynch is a miserable jester. It's almost devoid of Lynchian "humor" yet it is the exemplary Lynchian piece. It's the only one immune to accusations of absurdism or bad faith by simply having a coherent plot which, curiously to morons, only serves to increase its complexity or "surrealism", making it MORE Lynchian than his lesser pieces. This makes its few moments of "humor" all the more embarrassing and reveal Lynch as a tragic self-censoring neurotic.

In addendum to your quite apt post,
Mulholland Drive is Lynch's best work [by a margin] and many midwits miss the point. It is also one of those quintessential additions to both morons and patricians being able to enjoy the film, the former due to his spectacular use of suspense and wackiness and the latter due to his ability to create unconscious yet completely self-aware film-making.
It is the one film which you get a distinct feeling that the dream Lynch is inhabiting in the narrative is through one of pain and misfortune.
If Lynch in Lost Highway is announcing that we are strangers to ourselves and that their women are whores preceding their love, he sets a dangerous fuse in Mulholland, claiming that dreams although neccessary to fuel reality, are also our deaths. To quote Wilde roughly "To live, we must kill what we love".
You can tell when someone can't understand surrealist films when they take everything at face value. Betty must need Hollywood to live, but conversely Hollywood also eats her alive.
