How come there are so few great meta-films about filmmaking? Is the world of filmmaking just too opaque and esoteric for the average viewer?

Meta is played out. Literature already took it to its logical end point before filmmakers even caught on to it.

Part of it is that the venn diagram between artists who want to make this kind of movie and artists who have the chops to successfully do so is very close to two separate circles.

The "are the actors doing a scene or talking to one another?" trick was used multiple times in Mulholland Dr., where it actually worked. Laura Dern is a shit actor and Theroux was always just sitting there with a blank look on his face, drooling, and then he'd say, "Duuhhhhh.... What?"

I don't see how you can enjoy the performances in Mulholland Dr and not like the performances in Inland Empire. Lynch had already long cemented the style of performances he liked by his final feature film.

>the story of a young, lazy, and frequently drunk Irish collegestudent who lives with his curmudgeonly uncle in Dublin. When not inbed (where he seems to spend most of his time) or reading he is composing a mischief-filled novel about Dermot Trellis, a second-rate author whose characters ultimately rebel against him and seek vengeance. From drugging him as he sleeps to dropping the ceiling onhis head, these figures of Irish myth make Trellis pay dearly for his bad writing.
Neat, added to my list

More like Badylon. I skipped that one not 20 minutes in. All I remember is the elephant shit moment and being so bored with the story during the party sequence I was looking around at the crowd of partygoer extras and noticing how they're not really doing anything, just kinda standing in one place and gyrating.
I think I might be on to something. That movie seemed devoid of creativity. Maybe most people inspired to write meta-films do so because they're not creative enough to think up stories they can't immediately relate to.
