the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

I watched the new Twin Peaks a few days ago and can't get it out of my head. I freakin' loved it. Pure genius. Damn.

Maybe I wasn't totally excited about all of the characters and miss a bit of the charm from the old series. But the cinematography, the tempo, the atmosphere, the music (Lynch is sound director as well), everything was completely brilliant.

I have no doubt that David Lynch is the most talented and competent film & TV director in the US today.

Lynch to me was the trend setter for what went on in TV in the 90's and early 00's where TV went from largely interchangeable episodes within a TV series to the definitive form of story telling in Western society. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and many other TV series since, owe their ability to tell an evolving story over a series of years directly to the work of Lynch on the original Twin Peaks series.

I'm glad to hear the old man still has it.
