Forgot about the Theresa Banks/Coop connection...it remains to be seen
how much say Lynch will have in gearing the movie to a particular
audience, i.e. the avid TPers who probably want to pick up where Lynch

seen TP-THE SERIES...

Then again, I doubt this movie would appeal to anyone other than TP
fans...we shall see...
