          "Sometimes my arms bend back."

Well, just got back from the matinee showing, and since only one other person
has posted about Fire Walk With Me yet, I thought I'd put in my two cents
worth..

MASSIVE SPOILERS TO FOLLOW, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BREAK THE SCREEN ON THIS
SYSTEM!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I, for one, really enjoyed the film, however, I went into it with the
expectation that Lynch would give very little information about what happened
in the last episode.  I was proven correct.  There was very little reference to
the final story line, although there was enough to be a teaser for an upcoming
movie (?).

I disagree with what Lynch said on the Tonight Show.  I think if you did not
watch the show, PARTICULARLY the second season, you won't get half of it.  All
of the things that I found interesting would be lost if you didn't have proper
preparation.  The (loud and obnoxious) girls behind us kept saying "Does this
movie come with a  directory?" and "What's with her?"  through the entire movie.

However, if you have watched all of it, there really isn't much new here.  We
all know the timeline of the night Laura was killed, and a lot of the situation
leading up to it.  I found it interesting to watch first hand what I had only
imagined second hand previously.  There was some interesting symbology (I liked
the creamed corn reference) that tied in, but no real new info, (except perhaps
that Annie is dead, but that's only a maybe--I think so , but who knows).

Things I found fascinating were:
1.  The Little Man From Another Place's connection with Mike's arm.
        2.  The seeming seductive powers of Laura's clothing  (although my
fiance Doug has an interesting theory about The Evil Sunglasses of Laura
Palmer)
3.  The David Bowie part, although I was told there was more that was
left on the cutting room floor.
4.  More info into Harold Smith's character (the Orchid Guy)
5.  A lot of interesting stuff about Bobby.

Questions I had--Any Ideas?
1.  In the scene where Laura and Bobby are waiting by the mill, I
thought I saw the ring on the ground.  A feww seconds later she says something
to the effect of "I found something"...WAS that the ring?
2.  If "The Man Behind the Mask" is Bob behind the mask of the
posess), What exactly is the meaning of the paper mache mask?
3.  Who is the Shaman from the David Bowie scene?  (I liked him)
4.  Where was the Giant, especially in the formica table top place?
        5.  Did Laura Palmer get to the White Lodge at the end? (I think so,
the angel may have been from more of the traditional heaven, but I think that
the White Lodge is what you make it.  Anyhow, I was glad it all seemed to work
out for her, well, except for being dead and all.)


Well, that's all.
Anxiously awaiting replies and more opinions,
