I saw it last night and would have to say that I'm disappointed. It seems to be a final core dump of whatever remains in Lynch's brain about Laura Palmer's death. Unfortunately, there is little counterbalancing to the endless degradations that LP submits herself too. The humor of the TV series is absent and there is very little said about the characters surrounding LP that would make anyone want to care about them. Unless you saw the TV series and perhaps read the diary and are a fanatical TP fan, FWWM is really a pretty empty experience. And at least for me, it doesn't tell me much that I didn't already know... -- Bill Downing, President Email: bdowning@unixland.natick.ma.usDOWNING ASSOCIATES, INC. 8 Doyle Lane, Hopkinton, MA 01748 508-435-4567
