The acting was top-drawer, total emotional honesty even given the very odd characters they were playing. No condescension whatsoever. The big surprise (to me) was Richard Beymer, last seen (by me) as Tony in "West Side Story." Fantastic performance, I thought. > but the abuse and murder of women that seem to be a theme > in his films was not to my taste Nor mine. But there were some terrific, very powerful female characters. Piper Laurie was extraordinary. Don't know how involved Lynch was in the casting--I would imagine pretty deeply--but the casting and the acting were both superb. Not commenting on any of the rest of this one way or the other... I will say I wasn't aware Lynch was a TMer until well after "Twin Peaks." > - not to mention the irony of: > > 1 - Marshy and the TM leaders and the even low level governors who for YEARS > have talked about how we need to be careful what we watch, what we think, > what we say, what kind of energy we are putting out and "entertaining" - in > other words not to "entertain" negativity by exposing oneself to it and by > the way Big Bopper Bevan used to expound on such themes in staff meetings at > MIU and here this ass Lynch who claims TM gave him the creativity to make the > films is pumping out negativity at a phenomenal rate and don't bother to tell > me that you don't think the films express negativity because by Movement > standards his films are loaded with it. > > 2 - The irony of the Movement not allowing his films like Eraserhead, Blue > Velvet and Twin Peaks to be shown at any of their facilities, yet praising > the bastard for what a great filmmaker he is.
