Who likes this movie? I am yet to see it, but I do own it on DVD.

It seems that everyone hates it, except for Mark Kermode, who has labelled it Lynch's "masterpiece".

The original cut was something like 14 hours long. Then Mr. Lynch had to trim out 12 hours. If one is familiar with all the plot points from the show, the movie isn't too bad. It was a blockbuster smash hit deluxe on the island nation of Japan.

In high school I had a history teacher who was obsessed with Lynch's Twin Peaks the movie and the series. He related everything we studied to some aspect of Lynch's project. We could be studying something like the Carpathian mountains and the antics of the Huns and he would provide a scene or a line of dialogue which he thought was directly related.

I much prefer Lost Highway, for obvious reasons.

I haven't seen the series either. Is this going to be wasted on me?

?

the answer is probably yes, you'll be significantly more confused and less interested in the final days of Laura Palmer

Bummer.

That was a waste of 3 quid.

I also bought Lawrence of Arabia.

Though the movie is worth seeing for 2 reasons:

1. great music, like the song THE BLACK DOG RUNS AT NIGHT

the lyrics are

The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night
The black dog runs at night



2. superb dialogue

sample scene-

Jaques: "I am the Great Went."

Laura: "I am the muffin."

Jacques: "I'm as blank as a fart."

You haven't convinced me.

Stanley: That really was something with the dancing girl, wasn't it? What exactly did all that mean?

Desmond: I'll explain it to you. Remember Lil's wearin' a sour face.

Stanley: What do you mean?

Desmond: Her face had a sour look on it.

Donna: [to Laura] If I had a nickel for every cigarette your mom smoked, I'd be dead.

Stanley: You know, Agent Desmond, I figure this whole office, furniture included, is worth $27,000.
