Well, i finally went to see this movie and had a couple reactions...

I thought that it was a pretty good movie, however... as sequels go..
this was far from exceptional.  The fact that Stephen King didn't write
the script was most evident when noticing the age old flaw of horror flicks..
let's face it.. blood and guts alone do NOT make a good horror movie.

In my opinion, the film was more of a COMEDY than a horror flick.. there
are a lot of just HILARIOUS parts such as when the fat kid's dad comes
back and jingles the keys.. plus a number of equally funny scenes.

The highlight of the film was, by a long shot, Edward Furlong, this young
actor has shown GREAT diversity in playing the kind-of wimpy dude in
Terminator 2.. to being almost totally evil-looking in Semetary 2.

All in all, Id recommend it for this reason, good acting.. but no
storyline.

Went to see TP:Fire walk with me this weekend.  I can recommend it to TP fans
only.   It probably won't be in the theaters long, so see it while you can!

My overall impression that it was a significantly depressing movie - watching a
character self destruct in slow motion.  TV series had some hope in the various
romances, and some humor.  Movie has none. Don't go if already depressed.

The Lynch style is all over the movie - some critics have called it "derative".
One thing you can say about Lynch - love him or hate him, he definitely has his
own style.

Some general comments, exceedingly minor spoilers:

More dream sequences!  Some earlier minor characters show up in a significant
role. 

The stoplight is explained!

An previously featured object gains further significance.

A new object has mysterious properties!

A new Julee Cruise song.

More about "arms" are explained.

Heidi sings "Edelweiss" (just kidding)

And some questions, which have more spoiler possiblity:


What is the symbolism of the White Horse that Mrs. Palmer sees in her visions?

Who is the character David Bowie plays supposed to be?

Was the Chris Isaack (first FBI agent) character mentioned in the TV series?

Is the Number 6 on the pole next to the "mystery trailer" supposed to mean
something? (Lynch shows it several times)

What is the significance of the ring that Teresa Banks/Laura Palmer wears? 
Does this show up in the TV series anywhere? 

More and more people show up in that red-curtained room.  Now the one-armed man
does too!  

Is there an episode guide available for TP?  Post it!

	Just though of one extraordinary shot and its composition.  In the
Seven Samurai, during the final battle, when the Samurai with the two handed
sword lead a pack of bandits through the village, and the bandits turn back
to mount another attacks, the camera pan up and we see that the Head Samurai
calmly draws his bow and shot one of the bandit.  The composition of
drenching rain and the chaos on the screen as the bandit chased their enemy
and the suddent cut to almost serenity of the bow is simply amazing.

If the explicit sex and violence *does* get in the way of the point, then

Ok.  Does anyone remember the name of this movie?  I saw only part of it 
on HBO, just once.  It had to do with a race between two sets of 
scientists each searching for the configuration of the DNA molecule.
One of the scientists was a french woman who died before the Nobel
Prize was handed out.  The other set of scientists were two guys
working together and the movie really traced their steps in defining
what the DNA looked like.  These two guys received the NP.  It was
supposed to be a true story, but who really knows what level of
accuracy it depicts.  I keep thinking that Jeff Goldblum was in it
however I can't find a description of the movie title in any of his
credits, so I must be wrong.  Is this movie on video?  I would like
to see the whole thing.

I don't know what radical fringe groups you're associated with, but I

to sell us on the positive benefits of wealth re-distribution.  To say he

She has been in:

  Edward Scissorhands 		(love interest to Edward)

  Night on Earth		(first taxi driver segment)
  Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael	(thought she was Roxy's daughter)

How about these three (in no particular order)...

1. The motorcycle scene from ''The Lost Boys'' when the camera leads the
cycles and then draws back as the lights dissapear into the mist/fog.
Then the camera pulls right away and reveals a cliff that drop steeply
away, which is illuminated by a lighthouse nearby.

(a few of the vampire-flying shots call also appear here!)

2. In ''Risky Business'' when Joel arrives at Lana's appartment after
discovering his parents' house has been cleaned out.  He is almost
crying and hugs her in the middle of the room.  The music combined
with the 360 degree tracking shot around the two make this a classic
in my book.

3. A shot in ''Bad Influence'' when Mic's brother is being chased by
Alex.  He walks through a glass door tentatively.  He pauses and looks
around... The camera focuses on the glass door to see Alex pictured in
the reflection just about to hit Mic's brother with a fence post.

I'm sure some Ridley Scott (e.g. Black Rain, Alien) stuff should fit
in here, but my memory is deserting me.

The thing was whether he really *did* come back or not, or was it just
a figment of her imagination. Even if he did, it was to help her get
going in life: i.e life for her couldn't go on with the relationship
with a ghost. Somewhere near the end, Rickman told his friends: " I think
it's time." I take this to mean that Rickman *knew* right from the
start that things can't go right, that he was dead, there's nothing more
for her to do but to go on living. He came back to tell her that.

I thought it was wonderful, far superior to that mushy slush "Ghost".

I don't remember the name of the song either.  So all I can add is that it
