i liked the NIN part…it was cool where it was placed, right after the ritual by the woodman spirits after the doppelganger was shot, and the lighting gave the performance the same fuzzy sense of shadow and movement, as if the performance were continuing the course of that ritual…and then immediately after it cuts to…

i'm really hoping we see her again…just that brief scene when the key was found and she smiles as she mentions dougie was incredibly sweet.

you don't know how those calls went out or who chose to show up for them, or how many people he auditioned, or for what reasons they clicked or didn't. unless you can support some claim that lynch specifically refused to consider minority actors for his roles, all you're working on is your suspicion, and your…

it also bothered me that the same critics reflexively dismissed jade as some prostitute stereotype, because *they* were the ones who were incapable of seeing her as something more than that, not lynch.

the diversity thing is valid when viewing entertainment as a product (and it's more fairly applied when evaluating a genre than forcing a single work to carry that weight), but this is probably the closest we get to seeing lynch's unfiltered artistic vision. in casting, lynch operates at a gut level; his actors don't…

margaret and carl were kidnapped in the woods in 1947, so the timing seems to work for the giant to recruit them as watchers/helpers for the white lodge to fight bob. (the lodges existed before 1945, so i'm assuming that bob and the woodsman spirits somehow corrupted the black lodge, which is why there are spirits…

all you had to say was 'it was padding' without using all those extra words.

it wasn't funny the first five times i read it, in other places, but this time… no, not this time either…

- where the giant and dido reside looks a lot like Club Silencio (which i believe in Mulholland Dr existed only within a dream, in a scene where Sheryl Lee appeared).

trucks probably have gps devices, so he pointed whatever trackers were monitoring the car to the truck instead; he got close to the truck so anyone actively tracking the car wouldn't see the gps signal 'jump' from one spot on the map to another.

see you here in two weeks!

apparently that is still part of the dream sequence.

lol now tell us about your crowd sizes

i believe ray was caught moving guns across state lines, and cooper was fomer fbi, so at least both have federal implications

skype had a totally different connection beep back in the 70s

she probably misdated it..she was under a lot of stress

see you here next week!

i was as well, and i thought it had to do with the camera angles and also the fake eyelashes

but it seems the strong implication we get from diane is intended to inform our interpretation of what might have happened with audrey. lynch knows that's what we're going to jump to…

it was a neat moment of reflection after all the stuff that happened up to that point in the episode, and i was thinking it reflected how lynch is kind of sweeping together all these scattered plot elements and you can see it coming together.
