Anyone catch Lynch on the TOnight show last night? I stayed up late (well, 
for me ;-) to see it. Here's what I think:

Lynch is borderline autisitc (IMO). He reminds me of a friend of mine 
who suffers from the same problem. He seemed to have a *serious*problem keeping
up a conversation. Leno didn't help much (he isn't very good IMHO). He'd just
get Lynch talking on something good, like Philadelphia, and then Leno would
move on (what really got me about this was Lynch said "You know, I think I had
my first original thought in Philadelphia", and Leno CHANGED THE TOPIC! My god,
wouldn't *you* like to know what the man's first original thought was?)

Leno gave Lynch a speaker froma drive-in; apparently he thought it was
a Lynch sort of thing. Kind of a nice touch.

Lynch is coming out with a photo book on "spark plugs and dental
hygene." I know *I* am looking forward to it.

No mention of any new films... I think Lynch is having a "blank"
period. No mention of his kids or anyone new in his life either.

The best part of the interview was the clip they showed. It was GREAT!
Thirty seconds, the context of which eludes me totally, and it had me on the
very edge of my seat. It's a shame Grace Z. didn't get more time in the season.
She is an amazing actress. Ray Wise is up to snuff as Leland (it appears). His
acting, if anything looks to have improved.

Other than that, they showed a slide of a little head of clay Lynch 
made. He filled it with turkey and cheese and photographed the ants as they
crawled around in it. I think he is returning to his painting roots, more's
the pity for fans of non-putrid TV. 

All in all, a good interview, in spite of Leno's bumbling. The audience
seemed to be rooting for Lynch, and I'd have to say he is quite a snappy 
dresser. He seems quieter in real life than as Gordon Cole, or from what one
hears about him when he's on the set.

Oh, one more thing. He loves the smell of gasoline on water. I guess
he'll never be Greenpeace's poster child ;-)


Please don't flame me if this is incoherent. I took a "no drowsy" Claritin
a while ago. The only way Claritin is non drowsy is if you take the pill
then wash it down with 9 or 10 pots of coffee. Maybe I'll take one before
I go see the movie tomorrow (less than 24 hours now... my heart is racing!).
It should make the whole experience that much more dreamy and surreal.
Especially after the amount of coffee and donuts I plan to consume.

Later
Mike
ps anyone know why Dennis/Denise didn't show up for FWWM? I would've
enjoyed that.
