Subject: TP stars in _Wild_at_Heart (again) From: sandell@ferret.ils.nwu.edu Date: 1990-08-19, 09:44 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks From: Greg Sandell Pnews screwed up again and posted only the first line of my text. Here we go again: I saw Wild at Heart here in Chicago on the opening day. What do you think, is Lynch trying to make the ultimate redefinition of the `blue movie' as an art form? There were some really good things about the movie, but some of the `grossout' gags (and I won't give them away since the movie is so new) seemed like sudden cuts to a John Waters movie; except that John Waters would have made them fit in with the drama and the mood of the film. The gag with the dog near the end seemed like a desperate attempt to lighten up the tragedy preceding it. It also beat "Total Recall" by a long mile for "most brutal killing in the earliest part of the film". Whew. But anyway, to my subject line: did anybody notice that Eric da Re (Leo Johnson) was listed in the credits for doing casting? I guess *he'd* be hard to refuse: "Sign the contract, Shelly. NOW!" **************************************************************** * Greg Sandell (sandell@ils.nwu.edu) Evanston, IL * * Institute for the Learning Sciences, Northwestern University * ****************************************************************
