Where I saw it the same thing happened. I found it to be much
darker, intense than the series. Yet, I did not find the sex,
or the violence to be as intense as Blue Velvet, let alone
Wild at Heart. I think the series with all those little silly
subplots cut the intensity of the horror of the show, and with
it missing for the most part in the film it made the film more
intense--and of course there were no comericals to make breaks
in the action. Though I think that afterall not having the
more comic aspects of the show fit in with the movie's theme,
"Laura Palmer's decent into Hell--and final ascent into Heaven."
I think there is so much which still can be done. And let's hope
that we will see more. I would love to see more of the Lodges.
