In your theater, is the film as scratched up and the sound as bad as it
was in the theater I saw TP in (Boulder, CO)?  And was there anything in
the release to indicate why so many listings read "Twin Peaks: Firewalk
with me"?

By the way, I suppose we discussed this ad infinitum last year, but I
don't remember it, and having just re-watched season one, I just made
a cosmic connection:

The spirits that are in the wood communicate via wind.  Here are some
supporting arguments:
 
  1. In the movie, the camera pans down the telephone/power pole with
     the 6 on it as we hear the Indian whooping noise, reinforcing the
     concept that's pretty much been pounded into us that spirits are
     in the wood. (Remember Hawk's comment to the Log Lady that "there
     are a lot of spirits in the wood, aren't there?" from season one).

  2. In season one, Lucy explains that a call sounds like long distance
     because it has that whooshing sound, like wind blowing through the
     trees.

  3. We are given fairly frequent interludes of blowing trees.  That
     imagery is not insignificant.

The new reference to electricity has me a little perplexed, but it could
be that the spirits 'electricity' is the wind.

I am strongly reminded of the Indian legends of the four forces of nature:
Earth, Wind, Fire and Water.  We have seen constant references in the
series to wind, fire and water, but I can't really think of any related
to Earth. (Maybe "Save the Pine Weasel").  Any thoughts?
