Wow, synchronicity.  Us, too.

He isn't a corpse.  The camera quite clearly shows him breathing, and it
doesn't look like "an actor trying to hide the fact that he's breathing."
It looks like he got a bullet-induced lobotomy, if you pardon the inexact
medical phraseology.  Later on, he is really killed, by Frank.

Several things bothered me about Blue Velvet:

While tailing Frank, Coop (sorry) sees Frank and the Yellow Man enter a building.
Then the Yellow Man comes out and meets the Well-Dressed Man coming from the
other direction.  Yet the Well-Dressed Man equals Frank.  Huh?

Coop says, "They went up on the fire escape and looked off in the distance.
In the distance, there was a murder of a drug dealer... (damn good eyes, but...)
Then the two of them TOLD ME (??!) a lot of drugs would be found in the dealer's
apartment."  I couldn't figure this out AT ALL.  Something isn't right here.
I listened to this three times, and I'm sure it's what he said.

I couldn't make heads or tails of the room with the fat women and that guy who
plays "Al" on Quantum Leap.  Part of Frank's gang?  A local cathouse?
