*The local PBS station played the movie "Laura" last week.  The scene
*where Laura returns to her apartment is eerily like Cooper's dwarf dream.
*The detective is even slumped in an armchair when she shows up.  He says,
*"aren't you Laura Hunt?" with the same bewilderment as Cooper.  And
*of course, Waldo Lydecker is the real culprit.  But then I guess you could
*come up with Waldo Lydecker by banging your head on the keyboard, couldn't
*you?
*
*This week they are showing "The Third Man" which was also supposedly 
*referred to in Twin Peaks.  (The Third Man at the crime scene)

Not only that, but ...
(if you haven't seen "The Third Man" hit "n" now      


In "The Third Man", also, the supposed victim turns up alive.  See, a guy
finds out his friend has been killed -- the friend was supposedly struck
by a streetcar, and two people helped carry the body off the street.  But
our hero finds an eyewitness who says, no, THREE people helped carry the
body off the street.  In the end it turns out that the friend -- that is,
the supposed victim -- was the third man, and that a totally different
person was struck by the streetcar and was buried under the supposed 
victim's name.

I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a good movie!
