You know, there's a certain advantage to seeing movies twice. That way you can be absolutely positively sure when you to go to the bathroom and when not to. Plus, you get to snicker as you watch people make the completely wrong decision and go to the bathroom at the absolute worst time. Knowing when and when not to go the bathroom during the movie, after all, is an art form.

I just saw "Mullholland Drive" for the second time. Got a big kick out of watching at least three guys make a really bad decision, guessed that nothing important was going to happen in the movie for the next couple of minutes and got up to go to the bathroom only to miss the big sex scene. Bet they were bummed when they came back and found out what they missed. Missing that scene is like missing the scene when Rick first sees Elsa in Casablanca It's like missing Hamlet's soliloquy. It's like missing the baptism scene in "the Godfather". It's like missing the scene in "Boogie Nights" with the snap-n-pop's and the drug dealer whose rocking out to "Sister Christian." Worth the 16 bucks I've put down seeing that movie so far. Naomi Watts puts the zaaa in shiksa.

The movie's as good, maybe even better the second time around too. The first time I saw it, I was too busy trying to figure it out to really get into it. This time, because I read enough reviews tto have some sort of sense of what was going on, I just kind of sat back and enjoyed the ride. Man, nobody does completely fucked up creepiness like Lynch. That scene at "Silencio" is brilliant. It's as creepy as it is beautiful and as trippy as it is powerful.
