Just watched this movie.
In college I used to meet weekly with some new friends to play bridge. Before we got into the card playing, we watched Twin Peaks as it was first coming out, giving backstory to those who were new to it.
It was bizarre and intriguing like nothing else before or since on TV. We would have interesting conversation over cards on the symbolology of various aspects of it. Most of those involved were Plan II majors and thus too smart for their own good – my kinda people.
It struck me as I was watching this prequel that David Lynch as Gordon Cole reminded me of Greg Henkle.
I was a huge fan of David Lynch as a young man. Twin Peaks was revolutionary television. I can still see it’s influence, even if only subtly, in the most current shows on TV today.
There’s just no adequate way to express it, so it’s always good to find people who experienced it first hand.
My master plan to meet David Lynch almost took flight when I managed to randomly come across Crispin Glover’s home phone number back in the mid 80’s. I spoke to his mother at some length and ended up with a hand signed copy of Rat Catching with a nice personalized note from his mother thanking me for my interest.
It’s a good story, catch me and I relate it to you in greater detail.
