I love Fire Walk With Me though it was a huge flop when it came out because everybody expected it to complete the cliffhangers of the series.

For me, though, it was like when you re-watch Buffy and you have this sense of tragedy hanging over the characters who die. You know Laura Palmer is going to die and it's so weighty and strange and sad.

I'm two episodes in and I'm loving it. Although, much like attending a Poi Dog Pondering concert, it reminds me how much my peer group has aged.

Oh man. I loved Poi Dog Pondering at uni.

I could not hang with Fire Walk With Me. I remember thinking that all the quirk and humor that I loved in the show was not present in the movie at all. I'm so not good with jumpy-outy horror stuff, so I'm probably not the best reviewer.

But being a mad fan of Micheal J. Anderson (especially on Picket Fences), I could not NOT watch it.

eta: Oh my. Just googled M J A and discovered that the cheese seems to have slipped off his cracker since the Picket Fences day, which is why he is not in the TPeaks reboot.

Sad now.

When I watch American Gods - I feel like I'm in a fever dream.

Speaking of dreams, I watched episodes 2–4 of the new Twin Peaks last night. I went to bed thinking about it and drifted seamlessly into dreams. When I woke up it was really hard to figure out where my memories of the show stopped and the dreams began.

I mainlined old Twin Peaks this week. there were a lot of episodes I didn't see the first time through. Then I watched Fire Walk with Me. What an awful movie!

still, I want to see the new stuff, so I wanted to be ready.

Besides the fun of spotting the famous actors in tiny roles, is anyone else really bored, or maybe impatient with the new Twin Peaks?

This blew my mind. Mad Sweeny = Pornstache (from Orange is the New Black).

American Gods - I still don't love it, but I can't stop watching it.

The Leftovers - Blows my mind every single week. I might just cry after the last episode airs next week.

The Handmaid's Tale - So good! Difficult to watch sometimes, but so good!

I am loving American Gods but not in a "Oh, I need to go and post about it immediately" kind of way. The visuals are mind blowing and the acting is top notch, but not much has really happened in the story so far. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm happy to ramble through this world with these characters, but the show doesn't have a lot of narrative drive. It's been a long time since I read the book, but I seem to remember that it was the same. Still, I'm willing to settle in for the long haul. Plus, the cast is very pretty. There's always that.
