The David Lynch circus is back.  While Mark Frost is happy to leave the
town he helped make a prime-time legend, his ex-partner is still living
there, with all the warped ingenuousness of a rural kid who tells his
friends, "Let's put the freak show on right here!  Again!"  Twin Peaks Fire
Walk With Me, Lynch's way-too-late prequel to the 1990 TV series, relates
the last days of teen queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee).  After an agonizing
first half-hour designed to empty the theater, Lynch unleashes his patented
perfervid style, puts the familiar dwarfs and feebs on display and elicits
a nicely horrifying turn from Lee.  But the magic has died:  nothing seems
older than a two-year-old fad on the comeback trail.  How ya gonna keep 'em
down in Twin Peaks after the Zeitgeist's gone?
