Adam Goldberg suggested the "aliens" imprison people in wood. Interesting
thought. It would explain our last sight of Josie, her face superimposed
on some part of piece of wooden furniture (handle? pull? something). I
never could figure out that image.

I now realize that I missed in FWWM all the wood that was in TP - maybe
because there were no shots in the Great Northern.

All these recent postings have covered about everything I myself was
going to say -- FWWM you either hate it or love it, apparently. One
odd thing -- my perception of the Palmer's house in FWWM was that it
was MUCH SMALLER INSIDE than in TP. The livingroom with that screen
behind the sofa, the same room where Leland killed Maddie, etc. etc.
seemed about half the size in FWWM. Of course the lighting and, as
someone else pointed out, the graininess of the film was entirely
different in FWWM -- at some points it seemed almost like amateur
photography to me. So the perceived difference of the size of the
rooms in the Palmer house coudl have been a factor of that. But I
wonder if that interior set really WAS smaller than in TP?  One of
Lynch's subtle and sly effects?

Another point: After killing LP in a train car that appeared to be
nowhere near water, why didnt LeBob just leave the body there? Why
go to the tremendous effort of wrapping it in a huge sheet of plastic,
transporting it however far it was to the river?  

REalistically, the plastic was open around her head, so the package
would have filled with water and sunk, not floated. However, the
scene of the plastic-wrapped body floating down the river was a
great shot. It triggered something about Elaine the Lily Maid in
Morte de'Arthur, floating downstream. I've forgotten the details,
is anyone up on this? And I'm wondering if that's where Lynch drew
the imagery for that from?
