I'm a massive fan of David Lynch and 'Twin Peaks.'

Part of the reason I actually preferred Twin Peaks's second season to its first was the fascinating spectacle of watching a narrative structure disintegrate and a narrative artist freeze up and try to shuck and jive when the plot reached a point where his own weaknesses as an artist were going to be exposed (just imagine the fear: this disintegration was happening on national TV).

'Twin Peaks' is a continuing story; that comes from David Lynch and myself.

I submit that the real reason we criticized and disliked Lynch's Laura's muddy bothness is that it required of us an empathetic confrontation with the exact same muddy bothness in ourselves and our intimates that makes the real world of moral selves so tense and uncomfortable, a bothness we go to the movies to get a couple hours' fucking relief from.

I'm a big David Lynch fan.

I like David Lynch; I like Stanley Kubrick. I'm a big fan of Kubrick.
