Watching Twin Peaks The Return is like attending a funeral, but it’s a celebration of life, rather than mourning.
So many incredible people, now dead and gone, cross that screen and fade into oblivion.
The Final Cut to Black is a benediction for all that came before this moment.

It’s not about the mystery.
One of David Lynch’s famous quotes is, “Keep your eye on the doughnut, not on the hole.”

This little dude is the coolest dog I’ve ever cared for as a pet owner. He is playful, loving, gentle, and sweet. He doesn’t bark. He likes to watch movies.
He only has one flaw. He eats blankets and swallows the stuffing in plush toys (and a couple whole toys).
He’s like a piranha.

One of the smartest decisions I made was to NOT sell my DVDs in Blu-rays when streaming became a thing.
I witnessed a fellow film and tv lover sell their collection and thought at the time what an idiot they were. I was right.

It seems Wallace also viewed Lynch’s work as a cautionary case of becoming too famous too fast and having that out balance the work.
He clearly did not care for Wild At Heart.
