 I saw TP:FWWM for a second time last night and found it MUCH better the
 second time around. I could also pick out a lot of the words spoken in
 various scenes that I couldn't the first time. After the movie we headed to
 Tim Horton's here in Canada for a cup of damn fine coffee and some jelly
 donut's. :-) I am now listening to the soundtrack and will have a piece of
 cherry pie shortly.. :-)

  Some mentioned that the second time we see the monkey he says "Judy"..
  are you certain of this?

  Could the Chalfont's (Tremond's) been living by Theresa Banks to protect
  her? Maybe they were the ones that gave her the ring (green is its color..
  how much you want to make a bet the ring is made of formica). Mrs. Tremond
  gives Laura the picture of the red room sort of "inviting" her to the lodge
  (in her dream she motions for Laura to pass through the door into the room
  where Piere is and he snaps his fingers and a fire gets reflected on the wall
  ..leading to the waiting room? In the series the Tremond's give a slight clue
  to Donna about the creamed corn and Pierre ssaying the "I'm a lonely soul"
  phrase in French as a hint to Donna to return there later in which she
  received the pages from Laura's diary.

   As for the ring, maybe it is a protection against Bob thus why when Laura
   put it on, Leland/Bob says "Noooo!!" but why did Cooper tell her NOT to
   take the ring?

   I think the dancing man in the red room with the white mask is "Mike" as
   a whole.. he was seemingly doing some ritual dance, wearing a mask like
   shamans do and holding a ritual type stick. In the series Cooper describes
   Mike as maybe being "a shaman or seer in his time/culture". The reason the
   LMFAP was there also was because he is the arm of Mike but not Mike as
   a whole. I also noticed the shaman/dancing man did the scraping of his foot
   on the floor like the LMFAP did in the waiting room in the last episode of
   the second season. The LMFAP also says "Lets Rock!" when Coop sees him
   in his first dream in the series.. we see "Lets Rock" wrote on Agent
   Desmonds car after he disappears. Someone mentioned earlier how maybe
   whomever wears the ring, that arm gets possed by the LMFAP and he could
   possibly make a person do what he wants through it.. if Desmond put the
   ring on, maybe he wrote the "Lets Rock" on his car (in red, like the
   LMFAP is dressed) before he disappeared as a clue to Cooper.

    Did anyone notice that when Coop and Gordon Cole are in the room looking
    at the monitor and they pause the one with Coop's image on it and
    Jeffries walking in the background, the monitor NEXT to it is focused
    in Fat Trout and we see Agent Desmond walking toward the monitor? This
    means that Desmond is a time traveller now like Jeffries and thus was
    taken to the lodge.

    Right at the end, when Leland is walking into the circle of sycamore
    trees, we see a face appear on the screen - white face/black lips and
    saying either "Nooo!" or "Laura!!" (this was after Leland puts Laura
    in the water) - was that the evil Leland or was it an evil Phillip
    Jeffries? Does that mean there could be an evil Phillip Jeffries in
    the next movie and the good Jeffries is trapped in the lodge like Coop?

     Someone asked how Cooper got to the waiting room so easily? I'd say
     everytime we saw him in the waiting room in the movie it was post
     second season.
      
      As a note on the sets, after viewing the movie a second time I did
      notice how a lot of the sets were different, like Harold's and the
      R&R Diner especially.

       Is the sound the LMFAP makes ("..and I sound like this") an indian
       noise or is it supposed to be the sound of "electricity"? There was
       signs of electricty in Laura's room above her window when she asks
       who are you really? We hear that noise when Laura looks at the
       wires on the poles, when we see the TV.. we see static when Jeffries
       is talking about the meeting he saw and then they show the room and
       them around the table. Is that how they travell? Through electricty/
       wires and are able to "slip in through a crevice in time" as Coop
       said to Truman describing how Bob appeared (and the lights dimmed) in
       the series when Josie died?

       Thats about all for now.
