    The midget (MFAP) is the arm; that is the relationship.

    One poster suggested that the old woman in the trailer in the movie may
    be the familiar of Mrs. Tremond.  I thought that this was an
    interesting idea that did not occur to me while watching the movie.

    I agree.  I never liked LFB as Donna.  Moira is much better.  Does
    anyone what else she has been in?

    I don't agree.  the Lynch imagery was just fine in this part of the
    movie, but there was not enough plot advancement for me.  Too little
    new was presented.  And for the audience of those who have never seen
    any of the TV series, the movie was seriously flawed in that too many
    characters were introduced peripherally with little or no development
    and little or no meaning to the plot.  (eg. Shelly, Leo, whats his name
    Smith who kept the diary)  Further, the characters introduced at the
    beginning of the movie (who might have made for an excellent story)
    were cut short so we could see all the drama about Laura.
