And Twin Peaks, the Film is the craziest film in the history of cinema. I have no idea what happened, I have no idea what I saw, all I know is that I left the theater floating six feet above the ground.
Their films would probably be better if they'd seen a few more films, which runs counter to this idiotic theory that you run the risk of being influenced if you see too much.
For me, the film has to be incredibly bad to make me want to pack up and leave.
And the fact that I see so many films really seems to amaze certain people.
When you see the films of certain young directors, you get the impression that film history begins for them around 1980.
