Annoyed?  Hell no.  Classic, I mean *CLASSIC* Lynch.  It was
hilarious.  I also felt sad, in some ways, for older people.

Did you notice the close-up shot of the woman bank teller who was
sleeping?  Did it remind you of a scene in "Eraserhead?"

Well, Cooper's acting was certainly better in that segment than it was
after the Miss Twin Peaks Contest and the "Whoops, There Go The Lights
Scene".  I mean his reaction and subsequent acting when he discovered
Annie missing was BAD.  LAME.  I mean there was *no* emotion.  No
heavy breathing.  Nothing.  Especially when he was explaining to Harry
that she was gone.  He had the drama and emotion of a shrub.  Please
don't try to tell me he was overloaded and overwhelmed.  He could have
done a better job than that.
