I almost agree with him...but I LIKED it for that.  It had a very dark
and depressing feel to it, but the surrealism kept you up.  We were
talking about murder, incest, rape, and drug abuse...it was supposed to
be depressing.  I think Lynch portrayed that "uncomfortable and burn out
" lifestyle effectively.  The film was like nothing out today (save for
obscure surrealistic art pieces).  I saw it Thursday night and am still
feeling very affected by the piece, the MASTERpiece.  
 
That painting/photo the masked boy gave to Laura was one of the scariest
things I've ever seen.  

I thought it turned out to be just another addition to the TWIN PEAKS
universe, it didn't solve anything really (I didn't expect it to)....it
left us with as many questions as before...and I applaud it for that.
 
I will see it again.
